This book examines a variety of subjective spatial experiences and knowledge production practices in order to shed new light on the specifics of contemporary socio-spatial change, driven as it is by inter alia, digitalization, transnationalization, and migration. Considering the ways in which emerging spatial phenomena are conditioned by an increasing interconnectedness, this book asks how spaces are changing as a result of mediatization, increased mobility, globalization, and social dislocation. With attention to questions surrounding the negotiation and (visual) communication of space, it explores the arrangements, spatialities, and materialities that underpin the processes of spatial refiguration by which these changes come about. Bringing together the work of leading scholars from across diverse range disciplines to address questions of socio-spatial transformation, this volume will appeal to sociologists and geographers, as well as scholars and practitioners of urban planning and architecture.

How do people deal with diversity in deprived and mixed urban neighbourhoods? This edited collection provides a comparative international perspective on superdiversity in cities, with explicit attention given to social inequality and social exclusion on a neighbourhood level. Although public discourses on urban diversity are often negative, this book focuses on how residents actively and creatively come and live together through micro-level interactions. By deliberately taking an international perspective on the daily lives of residents, the book uncovers the ways in which national and local contexts shape living in diversity. The book will be a valuable resource for researchers and students of poverty, segregation and social mix, conviviality, the effects of international migration, urban and neighbourhood policies and governance, multiculturality, social networks, social cohesion, social mobility, and super-diversity.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Sonstiges, FernUniversitat Hagen, 15 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das Urlaubs-, Reise- und Freizeitverhalten im Rahmen der Globalisierung soll im Mittelpunkt meiner Untersuchung stehen. Wie verhalt sich dies in einer globalisierten Welt und vor allem in Zeiten des Klimawandels? Wie steht es in diesem Zusammenhang mit dem Umweltverhalten? Gibt es hier Verbindungen? Oder betrifft der Klimawandel dieses Verhalten nicht? Diese und weitere Fragen, die im Laufe dieser Arbeit auftauchen werden, versuche ich anhand der Untersuchung anzugehen. Ausgangspunkt fur die Untersuchung war die Beobachtung, dass ich eine Unkenntnis und ein Desinteresse im Hinblick auf einen sorgsamen Umgang mit bestimmten Stoffen und damit zwangslaufig mit der Veranderung des Klimas bzw. der Verknappung von Energien und Rohstoffen bei Teilnehmern einer beruflichen Jugendmassnahme beobachtet habe. Ist es nur bei einem bestimmten Teil von Personen so oder zieht sich diese Gleichgultigkeit durch alle Altersstufen und alle Gesellschaftsschichten? Ziel der Untersuchung ist es, hieruber Aufschluss zu geben. Mit dieser Arbeit gehe ich der aufgetretenen Frage nach und versuche innerhalb der Fragestellung einen Bezug zur Globalisierung und dem Klimawandel herzustellen
