  • Der Frankfurter Norden: Mehr Als Nur Stadtrand
    Arbeitskreis Nord der Frankfurter SPD Der Frankfurter Norden: Mehr als nur Stadtrand. Heimat für Frankfurterinnen und Frankfurter 14. November 2015 Positionspapier zur Weiterentwicklung der nördlichen Stadtteile zur Kommunalwahl 2016 Fortschreibung der Position der nördlichen Ortsvereine (Erstfassung 1993) Beschluss der gemeinsamen Mitgliederversammlung der nördlichen Ortsvereine vom 14.11.2015 1.Vorwort Frankfurt und sein Magistrat setzen sich endlich mit der Problematik des fehlenden und bezahlbaren Wohnraums auseinander. Nachdem die Stadtregierung dieses Problem über Jahre verschlafen und vernachlässigt hat, hat die SPD dieses offensichtliche Problem auf die Tagesordnung gesetzt. In Frankfurt fehlen ca. 25.000 Wohnungen – Tendenz steigend. Dies ist mitverursacht durch Schwarz- Grün z.B. wegen der Reduzierung der Zahl der Wohnungen am Riedberg und der Verhinderung von innerstädtischem Wohnungsbau am Osthafen. Dieser Druck auf den Wohnungsmarkt führt zu höheren Mieten und in seiner Folge zu Gentrifizierung. Die Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit Wohnraum ist derzeit das drängendste Problem für das Rhein- Main-Gebiet und für eine Metropole wie Frankfurt. Der nationale und internationale Zuzug hält weiterhin an. Allerdings ist nicht nur die Anzahl der fehlenden Wohnungen zu betrachten, sondern auch die Bezahlbarkeit der Wohnungen für alle Menschen und ihre Familien, die in dieser Stadt einen Arbeitsplatz haben. Dieses Problem ist den Sozialdemokratinnen und Sozialdemokraten auch im Frankfurter Norden sehr bewusst. Der überraschende Vorstoß

  • Understanding Users' Satisfaction Towards Public Transit System In
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Understanding Users’ Satisfaction Towards Public Transit System in India: A Case-Study of Mumbai Rahul Deb Das 1,2 1 Department of Geography, University of Zurich, CH-8006 Zurich, Switzerland; [email protected] or [email protected] 2 IBM, Mies-van-der-Rohe-Strasse 6, 80807 Munich, Germany Abstract: In this work, we present a novel approach to understand the quality of public transit system in resource constrained regions using user-generated contents. With growing urban population, it is getting difficult to manage travel demand in an effective way. This problem is more prevalent in developing cities due to lack of budget and proper surveillance system. Due to resource constraints, developing cities have limited infrastructure to monitor transport services. To improve the quality and patronage of public transit system, authorities often use manual travel surveys. But manual surveys often suffer from quality issues. For example, respondents may not provide all the detailed travel information in a manual travel survey. The survey may have sampling bias. Due to close-ended design (specific questions in the questionnaire), lots of relevant information may not be captured in a manual survey process. To address these issues, we investigated if user-generated contents, for example, Twitter data, can be used to understand service quality in Greater Mumbai in India, which can complement existing manual survey process. To do this, we assumed that, if a tweet is relevant to public transport system and contains negative sentiment, then that tweet expresses user’s dissatisfaction towards the public transport service.

    Lost Childhoods A study on platform children and other children in distress in India Prepared by Udita Das Submitted to the Paul Hamlyn Foundation India programme March 2013 1 Contents Contents Background 2 Methodology 5 Research findings 6 Future strategy ideas 34 Appendices I. Interventions on justice for children 36 II. NCPCR: Perspectives on protection of child rights 42 III. Khushboo Jain vs. Ministry of Railways 44 Forward > 2 Lost Childhoods: A study on platform children and other children in distress Background India is home to over 400 million children under 18 years old. These children make up more than 55 per cent of the population. Based on state police records in 2005, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) stated that, on average, more than 44,000 children are reported missing in India each year. Around 11,000 of these children remain untraced.1 This number could actually be much higher, as many cases are never reported because the families of these children are from a marginalised background and do not have the ability to report the incident. It is estimated that there are 11 million street children living in India, most of whom live in and around railway stations. In Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, approximately 100,000–125,000 street children figure in the lists of missing, runaway, abandoned or trafficked children.2 Without support, these children are at risk of various forms of abuse and a lack of rights that not only denies them a childhood, but also forces them to grow up fast. Approximately 70,000 children arrive on station platforms in India per year.
