Multi-Layered Roles of Religion among Refugees Arriving in Austria around 2015

Buber-Ennser, Isabella, Goujon, Anne, Kohlenberger, Judith, Rengs, Bernhard 10 May 2018 (has links) (PDF)
Violent conflicts and social unrest in the Middle East, in Central Asia, and in Africa have led to growing numbers of persons seeking refuge in Europe since 2011. The phenomenon culminated in 2015. In that year, with 88,300 new asylum applications, Austria was the 4th largest receiver of asylum seekers in the EU, thereby increasing visibly religious diversity in the country. Using two social surveys carried out in 2015 and in 2017 among asylum seekers and refugees, we study religious affiliation, religiosity, and attitudes as well as participation in religious groups. By focusing on the time span shortly after arriving in Austria, we aim to shed light on first steps in the host society and the multi-layered roles of religion for participation and integration. We provide a comparison with the host society in terms of religious affiliation and religiosity, and discuss recent qualitative research on refugees and religiosity. Insights into the engagement of refugees in several activities related to religion or not are valuable to shed light on the multi-layered characteristics of the recent inflow of forced migrants in Austria.

Agents or Subverters of Peace? : Analyzing the role of internally displaced persons in peacebuilding processes

Muga, Victoria January 2021 (has links)
Scholars of peacebuilding have identified a link between peacebuilding and internal displacement, but internally displaced persons are yet to be regarded as impactful peacebuilders. This thesis explores the role of internally displaced persons in peacebuilding processes, particularly the bottom-up strategies IDPs employ in conflict settings that contribute to the achievement of a peaceful society and in the long run to sustainable peace. This research looks at the documented IDP everyday peacebuilding activities identified in Georgia and Azerbaijan, and thereafter a structured focused comparison of the two selected cases is undertaken. The theoretical underpinning of this study identifies internally displaced persons as part of the ‘local agency’ with the potential to positively contribute to peacebuilding. The empirical findings suggest that indeed IDPs in Azerbaijan and Georgia spearhead peacebuilding at the local level aside from being victims of conflict. However, the empirical assessment also highlights that the influence IDPs have on peacebuilding is limited by the challenges they face in displacement.

Measuring the impact of pedestrian flow on vehicle delays for a proposed DLT intersection with two displaced left turns in an urban commercial area

Acuña, B. E., Amaya, L. C., Sanchez, A. M. 01 January 2022 (has links)
This study evaluates the impact of pedestrian flow through vehicular delays in a proposed DLT intersection located in an urban area with a high vehicular and pedestrian traffic volume. In addition, it evaluates the pedestrian–vehicle conflict points, the effect on the other accesses after the implementation of the displaced left turns, and the consequences of reorganizing pedestrian flow. Three scenarios are evaluated through microsimulation; the existing one, which is a conventional cross-shaped intersection; a proposed DLT intersection with two displaced left turns on adjacent accesses; and a third one, similar to the last one, but with the inclusion of a pedestrian underpass. Results indicate that a proposed conventional DLT increases the vehicle delays of the intersection by 6.0% compared to the existing condition, mainly due to the high volume of pedestrians and the conflicts it generates. However, with the inclusion of a pedestrian underpass, vehicle delays are reduced significantly by up to 34.0%.

A Case Study of Displaced Workers: The Hesston Experience

Fritts, Thomas G. 01 May 1977 (has links)
In August of 1976, a factory employing 210 workers began a phased layoff of all employees. This study focused on the subsequent reemployment problems of the workers. Specifically, methods of job search were analyzed to determine if they had an influence upon placement and quality of employment. Two means of data collection were used in this study. Questionnaires were mailed to all former employees of Hesston Farm Machinery Company and oral interviews were conducted with public and private individuals involved with placement assistance to displaced workers. Results of the study indicated that public employment offices, private employment agencies, and Hesston's Personnel Department were ineffective in placing workers. Applying in person and obtaining employment from friends/relatives were both more common and more effective than other methods of job search.

The Effect of Displacement: Living as a Refugee: An Exploration of Displaced People in Refugee Camps in Greece

Parrish, Kim Martin 04 May 2018 (has links)
This study utilized a phenomenological approach to describe the experience of displaced individuals and families in a condition of statelessness in a refugee camp and their experiences prelight, translight, and postlight. Topics addressed included the conditions that led to flight from the country of origin and the individual and family experiences in the country of origin prior to flight and during flight, the experiences of living as a refugee in a refugee camp in Greece, and the hopes and dreams of the future for the individual and the family. Fourteen individuals, including five children in seven families were interviewed in the study. Four of the seven families in the research included multiple members of the immediate family. Data analysis followed Moustakas’ (1994) traditional phenomenological technique. Results indicated turmoil in the country of origin was the primary reason for flight. All nine adult refugees indicated some type of danger or unrest necessitating flight from their country of origin. Two families were forced from their country of origin based on ethnicity. Results also indicated that separation of immediate family members was a common experience among refugee families. Six of the seven families reported separation, for various reasons, from immediate family members during the time of this study. Those separated expressed a desire to remain in close contact by any means possible with family members; this was critical for survival, according to those interviewed. Although there were some negative expressions of life as a refugee, such as the difficulty in understanding asylum processes, boredom and a lack of purpose, and a lack of opportunity for education and skills training in the camp, the overall reflections were positive, sharing hopefulness for a better future.
