Sociální patologie v lokalitě a její vliv na cenu nemovitosti / The Impact of Local Social Pathology on the Value of Real EstateHoráková, Jitka January 2021 (has links)
The subject of this diploma thesis is a comparison of the influence of socially pathological phenomena on the price of a real estate and subsequent suggestion of solution of this problem. The social environment can have a negative or a positive effect on the real estate market, depending on the nature of its transformation. The location is characterized by physical, social and economic factors. One of the aims of this thesis is to capture and compare these impacts in a selected area of the city of Brno in local context. It focuses on socially pathological phenomena connected to crime and parameters that affect crime occurrence.

Zelená svoboda. Pojetí emancipace v ekocentrickém myšlení / Green Freedom. Concept of emancipation in ecocentric thoughtReichelová, Tereza January 2020 (has links)
(English) By the time the liberals triumphantly proclaimed the end of history, some environmentalists started to mobilize the public against western modernity by proclaiming the end of nature. For many people, the environmentalist agenda meant a new ideology that could exceed the classical ones; many, on the other hand, understood environmentalism as radically anti-ideological. In this thesis, I'll focus on the relationship between nature and society that lies in the core of both, environmental thought and modern emancipatory projects. I'll try to expose the inherent contradictions that the environmental discourse inherited from liberalism and Marxism.

The spatial-social differentiation of the city of Warsaw with an in-depth study of selected districts / Den rumsliga-sociala differentieringen av staden Warszawa – med en fördjupad studie av utvalda distriktPopiolek, Marta January 2022 (has links)
The inspiration for this paper came from a walk in Warsaw, Poland - a city that has a very unusual development pattern and owes its character largely to the last 75 years. The visible differences in development patterns occur in almost every neighbourhood and each of them is the result of a different conceptual approach, additionally shaped by the regulations and economic prosperity of the time. This has inspired to further analyse the social structures of these spaces and explore the factors that determine the appearance and characteristics of the different neighbourhoods. The aim of this study is to get acquainted with spatial differentiation and explain the internal structure of the city of Warsaw, to define what social, economic and developmental processes have led to the current spatial-social structure of the city and to determine what potential processes may occur in the space depending on the identified conditions. The research method used for this study is factor analysis, which is an inductive tool used to analyse the relationships between a variety of social, economic, demographic, and housing characteristics in the city of Warsaw. Its aim is to determine what, if and what common patterns exist in the studied subject.

Selfdeterminasie : 'n beginsel in maatskaplike werkMeyer, Maria Margaretha 01 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / In die verhandeling word daar gepoog om vas te stel of selfdeterminasie
wel as 'n beginsel in maatskaplike werk, deur die
maatskaplike werkers van die Hoeveldstreek in Mpumalanga, erken en
toegepas word.
Die ondersoek het ten doel om te bepaal vanuit watter teoretiese
raamwerk die maatskaplike werkers hulle dienslewering rig en hoe die
beginsel selfdeterminasie binne die werkers se teoretiese raamwerk
geakkommodeer en aangespreek word.
Die ekosistemiese benadering is deur navorser gebruik as teoretiese
raamwerk. Die inhoud word weergegee in terme van 'n literatuurstudie,
waarin die beginsel selfdeterminasie, as sodanig aangespreek
word, dan die epistemologie van die maatskaplike werker, asook die
uitwerking van selfdeterminasie op dienslewering aan kliente.
Inligting is verkry deur middel van 'n vraelys wat deur maatskaplike
werkers in die praktyk voltooi is.
Die gevolgtrekkings en aanbevelings gee 'n aanduiding van hoe selfdeterminasie
erken en toegepas word en hoe die maatskaplike werkers
die beginsel akkommodeer met betrekking tot hulle epistemologie. / In this dissertation the attempt is made to establish whether selfdetermination
as a principle in social work is acknowledged and
applied by the social workers of the Highveld region in Mpumalanga.
The aims of the research were to establish the theoretical frame of
reference which directs the social workers services and how the
principle of self-determination within the social workers frame of
reference is accommodated and applied in practice.
The researcher has used as her theoretical frame of reference the
ecosystemic approach. The contents of the dissertation is presented
in terms of a literature study, in which the principle and the effect
of self-determination on the services of the social worker to her
clients, as well as her theoretical frame of reference is addressed.
Information was obtained by means of a questionnaire which was
completed by social workers in the field.
The conclusions and recommendations give an indication of how selfdetermination
is acknowledged and applied and if the social workers
accommodated the principle of self-determination with their
epitemology. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Work)

The challenge of shifting paradigms : social workers exercising the ecosystems perspectiveDicker, Janet Linda. 03 1900 (has links)
This dissertation demonstrates and illustrates the challenges involved in the construction of new
realities when Duhl's (1983) idea of using metaphor to apply the ecosystems concept of wholeness
of systems, was exercised in two ways.
Firstly, the study was written in the form of an imaginary conversation between the author in the role
of researcher and an imaginary peer consultant, about making sense of ways of thinking. Through
presenting her observations to other observers, who are actually herself, a new reality was
constructed for the author. Secondly, new individual and group realities were constructed by a group
of social workers in the SANDF, who encountered their own ways of thinking through metaphorical
means such as sculpting.
Recommendations, co-constructed by the author, the imaginary peer consultant and two more
imaginary colleagues, suggest possible uses of the ecosystems perspective in social work including
in settings such as the SANDF. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Science (Mental Health))

Deconstruction, dialectics and a sense of relatednessWolf, Frederick Andrew 11 1900 (has links)
The text deconstructs notions of ideal community which, while affinning
irmnediate proximate human relations, effectiveiy disaffirms and thus
devalues those mediated over distance and time. It argues against such
social ontologies as the basis of what should constitute ideal consociality.
In place of the idealized notions of community critiqued, the work elaborates an ontological ethics of responsibility as a basis for conceptualizing ethical relations. The text grounds its ethic in what is proffered to be humankind's ontological relatedness to the other, regardless of the nature (human or nonhuman) or proximity (face-to-face or nonface-to-face) of that other. Moreover, the text sets forth the importance of humankind developing a sense of this ontological relatedness. The work discusses this sense-of-relatedness from
three perspectives. First, it elaborates a philosophic naturalism to establish in humankind an ontological basis for ethical relations. Second, it claims that humankind is in the world, existentially, who and what it understands itself to be with respect to the depth with which it apprehends a sense of its ontological relatedness to all that there is. Third, it argues that this sense-ofrelatedness may be understood as a religious sensibility. / Religious Studies / M.Th. (Religious Studies)

“A superstitious respect for the soil”? : environmental history, social identity and land ownership – a case study of forced removals from Lady Selborne and their ramifications, c.1905 to 1977Kgari-Masondo, Maserole Christina 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (DPhil (History))—University of Stellenbosch, 2008. / This thesis presents, from the perspective of socio-environmental history, a case study in forced removals and their ramifications from 1905 to 1977. The focus area is a township called Lady Selborne in South Africa, near Pretoria, and Ga-Rankuwa, where some of those displaced were relocated. The thesis demonstrates that forced removals did not only result in people losing their historical land, properties and material possessions but also their sense of being and connectedness. The focus is thus on the changing perceptions of people in the midst of their land loss, an area of study that is generally under-examined in academia. The research provides a complex picture of the ramifications of forced removals on the former inhabitants of Lady Selborne. Lady Selborne was a “home”, a place for being human where the residents managed to engage in food production and owned properties in a multiracial area. Forced removals emanated from the National Party government’s desire to control African land ownership, and the manner in which land dispossession took place resulted in environmental injustice. This thesis applies theories of environment, power and injustice to explore how the people related to their environment and how that relationship was defined by class, gender and race. In Lady Selborne, black Africans were displaced from an area that was fertile, close to the city centre of Pretoria and relocated to infertile Ga-Rankuwa on the outskirts of the city. This resettlement resulted in many of those relocated being prevented from engaging in food production which was in turn an affront to Sotho-Tswana culture and religion with its emphasis on land as lefa: a bequest that has to feed its inhabitants. This thesis thus argues that successive governments (and many scholars) have downplayed black African environmental ethics, dismissing them as ‘superstition’. This mindset once resulted in forced removals and they in turn led blacks to disregard environmental issues. Ga-Rankuwa became degraded with litter, soil erosion and dongas, especially in the 1970’s, as people realised that there was no hope of returning to Lady Selborne. Environmental apathy emerged unconsciously as a response to forced removals. The thesis concludes by considering the idea of a ‘usable past’ and proposes that socio-environmental history can play a role in realising environmental justice.

The modeling of an ecology of language: Haitian Creole among first and second generation Haitian college studentsUnknown Date (has links)
The purpose of this research study was to identify and define important components that might constitute an ecology of language (Mufwene 2001; Haugen 1972). Focusing on components as varied as social networks, physical ecology, identity and linguistic realities allowed for the construction of such a model, which was then applied to a specific case study addressing the vitality of Haitian Creole among first and second generation Haitian college students in South Florida. The resulting ecology of language model demonstrates that the competition and selection pressures guiding language use among first and second generation Haitian college students hinge on two ecological factors: the survey respondents' level of American acculturation and their desire to be involved in or affiliated with a separate subgroup of Haitians. The study found that (1) the reported language behavior of parents had no correlations with the respondents' interest in affiliating with other Haitians, and (2) Haitia n college students who do identify strongly with Haitian culture do not necessarily equate that cultural identity with the Haitian Creole language. These results suggest, in contrast to the claims of Zephir (2001), that Haitian college students will acculturate quickly into American linguistic society despite their desire to maintain the hyphenated identity of Haitian-American. Additionally, many of the conditions which are noted in the language endangerment literature (Grenoble & Whaley1998; Nettle & Romaine 2000; Crystal 2000) pointing towards language loss are occurring within the Haitian college community in South Florida. Despite the fact Haitian college students in South Florida all have positive attitudes towards Haitian culture and language, the respondents prefer to speak English rather than Haitian Creole. As is the case with other minority languages (Potowski 2010), it can be predicted that Haitian Creole will maintain its integrity and vitality in America continued / immigration. / by Kristyl Williams Kepley. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2011. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.
