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.

Das Buch ist als Arbeitsprogramm fur Studierende der Sozialwissenschaften konzipiert: Ziel ist es, sozialwissenschaftliche Fragestellungen in statistische Auswertungskonzepte umzusetzen und diese mit der Statistik-Software SPSS selbstandig bearbeiten zu konnen. Dazu werden typische Probleme der Datenbereinigung und -konstruktion ebenso behandelt wie grundlegende Techniken und Fragestellungen deskriptiver und induktiver univariater und bivariater Statistik. Was dieses Buch von anderen unterscheidet, sind sein starker Praxisbezug und sein Kurscharakter: Die Autoren verfugen uber langjahrige Lehr- und Forschungserfahrung in der empirischen Sozialforschung und im Data Mining.

Immer wieder kommt die Rede auf Falle schwerer Gewalt von Schulern, wobei in jungerer Zeit gerade Beispiele von Gewalt gegen Lehrer die Runde machen. Wie sieht aber abseits dieser brutalen Einzelfalle die Gewaltlage an Schulen aus und vor allem: Wie hat sie sich uber einen langeren Zeitraum entwickelt? Nach den Wellen von 1994 und 1999 wurde 2004 zum dritten Mal mit einer reprasentativen Befragung von 4.523 Schulern die Gewaltsituation an allgemein- und berufsbildenden Schulen erhoben. Die Studie kann damit als eine der wenigen verlassliche Angaben zur Gewaltentwicklung uber einen 10-Jahres-Zeitraum machen.
