Abstract

Annotation Contemporary views of "livable communities" maintain that density and diversity are good for cities. Healthy communities are more pedestrian-friendly and less automobile-centric. Mixed use zoning keeps a flow of people through parks, streets, neighborhoods, and districts, which is good for business, safety, and tourism. Dwellings are human scale and locally-sourced food is more sustainable for the environment and healthier for individuals. But how should social institutions collaborate with those of the economic and political sectors to maximize community well-being? The United Way partnership model and the growing concern for triple-bottom-line outcomes involving financial, social, and environmental considerations offer a broad perspective on healthy communities. This special collection, therefore, employs a wide lens to examine multiple factors that characterize healthy communities including inclusiveness, equity, human rights, and mutual assistance. Researchers from various fields including psychiatry, public health, sociology, political science, community planning, economics, kinesiology, and social work present their findings on critical issues impacting the health of communities.

Abstract

China's recent economic reforms have led to impressive growth, and an unprecedented enthusiasm for establishing foreign enterprises in China. Since 1993, China has been the second largest recipient of foreign direct investment in the world and is now considered to be the world's third biggest economy. Its greater economic integration with the rest of the world, especially since its accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO), has further accelerated its market-oriented economic reforms. China is now opening its protected markets and beginning to submit to the rule of international law. This ongoing transition and increasing participation in the world economy has resulted in significant changes in human resource management and social welfare practices in China's enterprises. The book examines the key areas, all of which are linked, where China is grappling with institutional reforms as it opens up to the outside world: state-owned enterprise reform, capital markets and financial reform, human resources and labour market reform, social welfare reform, and China's accession to the WTO and the growth of the private sector.

Abstract

L’Enciclopedia Sociologica dei Luoghi (ESL) si pone come occasione di ricerca e riflessione sul ruolo che i luoghi hanno avuto in passato e hanno tutt’ora nel dare forma alle città e segnare i destini dei suoi abitanti e fruitori. Il volume offre chiavi di lettura e coordinate teoriche, nonché presentazioni di casi utili a sviluppare ricerche situate, riducendo il livello di indifferenza nei confronti dei contesti spaziali che spesso caratterizza le ricerche sociologiche. Il termine enciclopedia sembra il più adatto a trasmettere l’idea di un lavoro in grado di toccare tanti luoghi: da quelli riguardanti i trasporti a quelli relativi il tempo libero, da quelli riferiti alla sicurezza pubblica a quelli inerenti il consumo, e via dicendo.

Abstract

The text proposes several approaches for reflection on the subject of the governance of territorial consumption, addressing two critical issues: the dimensioning of planning and the concept of territory as a common good. The latter is understood as the outcome of cooperative behaviour and interactive practices aimed at recognition of the value of the places and the definition of rules of settlement for the protection of increasingly scarce collective resources. Exploring the relations between the limits of efficacy of the mechanisms for dimensioning the plans and responsibilities of the policies for governance of the territory - increasingly torn between public and private interests and not sufficiently "shared" - the book offers food for thought on the role of a "territorial-size" type of planning in the acknowledgement and management of the common goods.

Abstract

Faut-il considérer tout citoyen comme membre d'une communauté ou comme membre de la communauté ? La différence, imperceptible dans le discours, est pourtant de taille, puisqu'elle sous-tend le déchirement des quartiers et donc de l'homogénéité des villes. Chaque quartier en difficulté pose problème au reste du territoire, car le quartier est avant tout un bout de territoire. Lorsque le travail disparaît, le risque de rupture du lien social est élevé. Comment le prévenir, ou le guérir ? Aux diagnostics de malaise, répondent des solutions préconisées par des acteurs sociaux, politiciens ou praticiens de quartiers en difficulté. Ouvrir les quartiers sur l'extérieur pour lutter contre l'enclavement, leur redonner du mouvement, améliorer l'information et les voies de médiation entre les services urbains et les populations en voie de marginalisation, imaginer des réseaux associatifs comme espaces de créations de liens sociaux d'habitants de diverses origines, concervoir des activités physiques comme facteur d'intégration socio-professionnelle, voici autant de solutions préconisées et déjà testées par leurs auteurs.
