The Impact Of Hybrid Infrastructure On Trust, Motivation And Knowledge Sharing In An Intentional Community: A Latvian Case Study
2013
The role of ICT infrastructure in enhancing innovation processes through fostering knowledge and information exchange is a controversial topic in regional science. Opposing views exist, in particular, with regard to two topics: a) the persistence of a specific role of geographical proximity in knowledge exchange processes in the age of global virtual networking; b) the capability of virtual networking to recreate the social assets of a physical community (trust, solidarity?). Existing studies primarily focus on aggregated data, rely on doubtful epistemological assumptions (e.g. the equation of information with knowledge), and neglect several epistemological principles of social cognition (e…

2023
International audience; Chapter 13 Social media influencer: a new hybrid professionalism in the age of platform capitalism? by P. Sedda and O.

Using a methodological approach based on interviews and ethnographic observation, the study considers the influencer as a specific case of “hybrid professionalism” (Noordegraaf 2007) in which quantitative performance criteria, prescribed by platforms, are combined with c…
Network position and innovation capability in the regional innovation network
2019
This paper investigates the positioning of actors characterized by different natures in a regional innovation network and explores how these actors improve their innovation capabilities by assuming prominence or brokering positions.

Social participation in shaping their local landscape
2015
Charakter lokalnego krajobrazu w znaczącej części zależy od poziomu świadomości społeczności, która na danym terenie egzystuje. Głównie chodzi tutaj o poczucie własnej wartości kulturowej oraz znajomości chociażby podstawowych zasad ekologicznego korzystania z zasobów krajobrazowych. Głównym celem badań, których wyniki przedstawiono w niniejszym rozdziale było uzyskanie odpowiedzi na ile i w jakim zakresie ankietowani uważają, że mają znaczący wpływ na podejmowane decyzje w dziedzinie szeroko pojętego modelowania otaczającego ich krajobrazu? Stwierdzenie „Myśl globalnie – działaj lokalnie” czy też „Gmina terenem racjonalnego kształtowania krajobrazu” – jak potwierdzają wyniki przeprowadzony…

Expanding Well-Being by Participating in Grassroots Innovations: Using the Capability Approach to Explore the Interest of Alternative Food Networks f…
2022
Abstract Grassroots social innovations are citizen-led initiatives that develop bottom-up solutions to societal challenges. Alternative food networks (AFNs) are innovations which propose alternative schemes for distribution and consumption of food—such as community-based agriculture or food cooperatives—which can improve the well-being of participants. Its potential for social work and social services has been recognised, but remains underexplored. This paper proposes a theoretical framework based on the capability approach in order to explore the impacts, drivers and factors at play in the expansion of well-being in participants in AFNs. This framework is applied to address seven cases of …
El usufructo de acciones y participaciones sociales
2018
El propósito de este trabajo es estudiar el usufructo de acciones y participaciones sociales. Se trata de una institución cuya importancia no puede ser minimizada, desde el punto y hora de que el legislador español (común y foral) hace una amplísima utilización del usufructo en las instituciones familiares y sucesorias. Ello determina que todos los días nazcan multitud de estos derechos, desde el punto y hora del conocido fenómeno del incremento de la riqueza mobiliaria de las personas y de las familias. En efecto, no cabe desconocer que si bien en otros tiempos la riqueza era fundamentalmente inmobiliaria o pecuniaria, en los nuestros el ahorro de los particulares se canaliza de forma dete…
