Stadtregionales Flächenmanagement
by Thomas Zimmermann Sebastian Henn Björn ‚Bjarne‘ BraunschweigDas vorliegende Handbuch bietet erstmals eine umfassende, interdisziplinäre Auseinandersetzung mit den Handlungsfeldern des stadtregionalen Flächenmanagements. WissenschaftlerInnen und PraktikerInnen aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen wie der Raum- und Stadtplanung, Geographie, Soziologie und den Wirtschaftswissenschaften diskutieren Konzepte und Vorgehensweisen und reflektieren darüber hinaus Praxiserfahrungen des Flächenmanagements in unterschiedlichen Stadtregionen Deutschlands und dem Ausland. Das problembasierte und lösungsorientierte Handbuch wird durch eine eigens von den Herausgebern entwickelte Systematisierung für Instrumente des Flächenmanagements gegliedert. Diese greift die unterschiedlichen Treiber für die Zersiedelung auf: Regulative Instrumente wie Regionalpläne bilden den rechtlich bindenden Rahmen für sämtliche Akteure in Stadtregionen. Anreizbasierte Instrumente wie Flächenzertifikatehandel setzen stärker an den tatsächlichen Ursachen für Zersiedelung an, indem sie erwünschtes Handeln belohnen und unerwünschtes bestrafen. Informatorische Instrumente wie Monitoringsysteme erlauben es wiederum, datenbasierte Entscheidungen zu treffen. Kooperative Instrumente in Form von Austausch- und Partizipationsformaten können indes zum Flächenmanagement beitragen, indem sie in einem prozessorientierten Vorgehen das Handeln der Akteure auf gemeinsame Ziele ausrichten. Organisationale Instrumente haben schlussendlich zum Ziel, stadtregionale Organisationen zu etablieren, um die anderen Instrumententypen langfristig über administrative Grenzen hinweg steuern zu können. Das Buch richtet sich gleichermaßen an StudentInnen, WissenschaftlerInnen und PraktikerInnen aus der Stadt-, Regional- und Landesplanung.
Das Zusammenwirken von kognitiven Frames und Botschaftsframes im narrativen Persuasionsprozess: Theoretische Integration und empirische Prüfung
by Magdalena RossetGeschichten werden vor dem Hintergrund vorhandener kognitiver Strukturen verarbeitet, was die Frage nach der Rolle ihrer Interaktion mit Darstellungsmustern für die Wirkung narrativer Persuasionsbotschaften aufwirft. Die Arbeit verbindet narrative Persuasion mit dem Framing-Ansatz. Auf dieser Basis wird das Zusammenspiel kognitiver Frames von Rezipierenden, d. h. ihrer mentalen Interpretationsmuster, mit strategisch eingesetzten Botschaftsframes zur Betonung bestimmter Perspektiven in Geschichten theoretisch modelliert. Im Zentrum steht die Annahme, dass die Passung beider Frame-Typen die Wirkung narrativer Persuasionsbotschaften beeinflusst – vermittelt über Verarbeitungsprozesse wie das Eintauchen in die Geschichte, die Identifikation mit dargestellten Figuren oder die Reduktion kognitiver Widerstände. Eine erste empirische Prüfung dieser theoretischen Integration erfolgt am Beispiel der Förderung psychischer Gesundheit. Die Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur Theorieentwicklung und bietet Impulse für weitere Forschung – auch in anderen Bereichen der Medienwirkungsforschung – sowie praktische Implikationen für die Gestaltung persuasiver Botschaften.

Creativity, Society, and the Role of Socially Engaged Art in Higher Arts Education (Routledge Research in Arts Education)
by Kai LehikoinenThis interdisciplinary book explores socially engaged art as a subject of study and its relevance in higher arts education institutions' third mission—giving back to society and engaging with the community—to build a sustainable higher arts education for the future.Drawing on data from two large-scale EU-funded projects—supplemented by interviews, educational document analysis, and secondary data—this book explores emerging trends in the arts sector and the role of arts universities in cross-sector collaboration, innovation, and actions towards social and environmental responsibility. Chapters posit theoretical analysis, case studies and practically orientated examples from countries including the United States, Ghana, Indonesia, and from across Europe to explore the growing demands for the positive societal impact of higher arts education. Located at the interface between the sociology of higher arts education and community engagement, the book explores a richness of international contexts including activism, churches, refugee work, eldercare, gender politics, prisons and many others.This timely volume responds to the urgent need to investigate the full potential of socially engaged art in higher arts education. As such, it will appeal foremost to scholars, researchers, postgraduate students, and teachers in higher arts education and the sociology of education. Practitioners working in arts curriculum design, university-society partnerships, and those focused on creating inclusive and respectful spaces in higher arts education and research, will also find the volume of use.
Neurodiversity-Affirming Practices in Early Childhood: An Empowering Guide to Diverse Development and Play
by Kerry MurphyIt is not uncommon to hear the myths that young children develop in the same way, or that play does not come naturally to disabled or neurodivergent children. This essential guide challenges these myths and empowers early years educators to adopt neurodiversity-affirming practices which support all children, emphasising the joy, wonder, and possibilities of inclusive practice.The book explores diverse development and learning through a variety of different lenses, including early years provision, specialist support, and speech and language therapy. The reader is introduced to a range of theoretical perspectives, alongside practical examples, audits, case studies, and strategies which explore the environment and the features and benefits of self-directed play. Topics include: An introduction to neurodiversity-informed practice Unpacking ableism and disablism in early childhood Approaching practice through a neurodiversity-informed lens Developing a curriculum that promotes equality and embraces diversity Advice for working effectively with parents and carers Creating inclusive learning environments that are accessible and enjoyable for all children. Neurodiversity-Affirming Practices in Early Childhood challenges outdated assumptions and expands our understanding of child development and play, with inclusive practice at its heart. This is a key read for anyone working with young children, enabling them to actively move towards neurodiversity-affirming practices.

Zwischen Wir und Ich: Eine sozialontologische Untersuchung der Bedeutung der einzelnen Person für die soziale Gemeinschaft nach Gerda Walther (Frauen in Philosophie und Wissenschaft. Women Philosophers and Scientists)
by Julia Mühl-SawatzkiIm Mittelpunkt des Bandes steht die Auseinandersetzung mit dem frühen Schaffen der Phänomenologin Gerda Walther (1897-1977). Es sind die folgenden drei Fragen, die hier untersucht werden: a) In welchem sozialontologischen Verhältnis steht die Person zur sozialen Gemeinschaft nach Walther, b) kann diese Person willensfrei in der sozialen Gemeinschaft agieren und c) wie lässt sich Walther philosophisch verorten? Die Herausforderung der Beantwortung dieser Fragen liegt in dem Spannungsfeld zwischen historischem Materialismus und phänomenologischem Subjektivismus, dem Walther gegenübersteht. Julia Mühl-Sawatzki zeigt, dass Walther einen anti-singularistischen Ansatz hinsichtlich des sozialontologischen Verhältnisses zwischen der einzelnen Person und der sozialen Gemeinschaft vertritt. Die daraus ableitbaren Schlussfolgerungen für das Moment der Willensfreiheit innerhalb der sozialen Gemeinschaft sowie Walthers philosophischer Verortung werden in dieser Arbeit begründet dargelegt.
