  • The Relationship Between Urbanization And
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN URBANIZATION AND POSITIVE SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR: A STUDY OF HELPFULNESS BETWEEN STRANGERS IN VARIOUS TYPE OF URBAN ENVIRONMENTS AS AN INDICATION OF QUALITY OF SOCIAL LIFE POSİTİF SOSYAL DAVRANIŞ VE ŞEHİRLEŞME ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ: ŞEHİRDE SOSYAL HAYAT KALİTESİNİN ANLAŞILMASI BAKIMINDAN BİRBİRİNİ TANIMAYAN İKİ FERT ARASINDAKİ YARDIMLAŞMANIN İNCELENMFSİ NAMIK AYVALIOĞLU Department of Psychology, University of istanbul A field study was carried out in Turkey in order to compare the level of helpfulness in town, cities, and urban squatter settle­ ments. Four different naturalistic measures of helpfulness were de- velopted and used: willingness to give change, willingness to coope­ rate with an interview, response to a small accident, and response to a lost postcard. The results generally showed significantly less helpfulness in Turkish cities than in towns and urban squatter settle­ ments, which showed equivalent levels of helpfulness. This supports the view that the squatters may in a pschological and social sense be «urban villagers». Consistent and considerable differences in helpful ness were also found between other typs of city districts. Some of these districts came close to the towns and squatter settle­ ments in their levels of helpfulness, suggesting that drawing distinc­ tions between environments in terms of their behavioral characte­ ristics is best done with the concept of a social-enviromental conti­ nuum rather than an urban-nonurban dichotomy. Also environmental input level as an explanation of urban social behaviour was tested in naturalistic environments, found to influence the level of help­ fulness for female subjects but not male subjects. Finally, a survey 106 NAMIK AYVALIOĞLU study was carried out in order to examine differences in attitudes of helpfulness between environements in the question.

  • Urban Villages in China NIE, Zhi-Gang and WONG, Kwok-Chun
    Urban Villages in China NIE, Zhi-Gang and WONG, Kwok-Chun Department of Real Estate and Construction University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong Email: [email protected] Abstract: There are two main types of land ownership in China – state owned land, and land owned by village communes. During the rapid urbanization of China in the past 30 years, state owned lands were sold and developed into high densities apartments. These apartments were built literally surrounding existing rural villages. Village lands were, however, not allowed to be developed because of its rural history. But when the villagers saw the profits of development, they simply build new apartments illegally at rates and densities even higher than those on state owned lands. By now, the political problems of these illegal developments are too large to be handled by local city governments. Hence, as we now see, there are high density apartments built by villagers right inside city centres. Very often these apartments are poorer in qualities. This paper traces the history of this development, and tries to induce property right implications on excessive land exploitation, in the absence of effective building regulation and control. Keywords: building regulation and control, property rights, state owned land, urban villages, village communes. 1 Historical background In mainland China, there was basically a feudal land system before the Chinese Revolution in 1911. After 1911, a system of private land ownership was still, by and large, enforced by the Chinese Nationalist Party. The Communist Land Reform started in 1946. Basically in this reform, land and other properties of landlords were expropriated and redistributed.

  • 2016 by Bijoy Jain for Studio Mumbai
    2016 BY BIJOY JAIN FOR STUDIO MUMBAI EDUCATION MPavilion is an annual initiative of the Naomi Milgrom Foundation that, since 2014, has brought leading architects GUIDE from Australia and around the world to Melbourne to design a temporary pavilion for the Queen Victoria Gardens. Each MPavilion hosts a diverse program of free talks, performances, workshops and educational activities and is open daily during its season. The ambition of MPavilion is to make architecture accessible as a field of design that is of central importance to the way we each experience the world. The architects invited to design each MPavilion are chosen because they are outstanding in their field and unique in their approach to architectural design. This selection criteria has resulted in each new MPavilion being very different from the last in form, materials and building technologies used. At the close of the season each MPavilion is relocated to a new home. You can visit previous MPavilions at locations across Victoria. The 2016 MPavilion by Bijoy Jain for Studio Mumbai can be visited at the Melbourne Zoo in Parkville, Melbourne. How to use this resource This resource introduces the MPavilion initiative and focuses upon the 2016 edition by Indian architect Bijoy Jain for the firm Studio Mumbai. It is aimed at students in levels/years 3-10 and its content is aligned with ictorianV and Australian curriculum descriptors. It is intended as a source of insight for educators to draw upon for use either in the classroom, or to help structure an excursion to MPavilion. Each MPavilon has its own dedicated resource and it is recommended that students visit more than one MPavilion to appreciate the contrasts between the designs of different years.

  • Aerial Attunements and China's New Respiratory Publics
    Engaging Science, Technology, and Society 6 (2020), 439-461 DOI:10.17351/ests2020.437 Breathless in Beijing: Aerial Attunements and China’s New Respiratory Publics VICTORIA NGUYEN1 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Abstract For all of its protean and ephemeral qualities, air exerts a remarkably muscular influence on urban form and contemporary life in China. In recent years, as the breakneck speed of China’s development has altered the very chemistry of the atmosphere, the boundaries between breathing subjects and their toxic environments have become increasingly blurred. In this climate, Beijing inhabitants have sought out various modes of respiratory refuge, reorganizing the city into new spaces of atmospheric fortification. As deadly air divides Beijing into a series of protected insides and precarious outsides, life is increasingly being reoriented toward the dangers and imperatives of breathing in the Chinese city. Yet alongside the growing stratification of breathing experiences in the capital, shared exposure is also reconfiguring public life and landscapes through new solidarities and entwined fates. Engaging Beijing’s emergent respiratory publics online, behind face masks, and inside conditioned air spaces, I explore how collective exposure is galvanizing new modes of atmospheric recognition in China. Specifically, I suggest that respiratory publics make invisible threats visible by mobilizing everyday objects, practices, and social life to render air both an object of concern and a site of intervention. Ultimately, by attending to how attunements to air pollution emerge through everyday practices and quotidian habits, this article expands upon a growing body of STS scholarship investigating how social life is increasingly constituted in and through atmospheric entanglements.
