Settings in social work may be associated with spatial stigma. This study uses the case of a highly stigmatised setting to investigate ways of ascribing positive characteristics to tainted contexts. Guided by symbolic interactionism, the aim is to analyse how residents in ‘wet’ eldercare facilities manage to view these in a positive light. Wet eldercare facilities are designed for older people wit

This paper suggests a taxonomy for labeling deviating patterns in district heating (DH) customer data. The taxonomy contains several fault labels intended to register information about faults in the DH systems that cause deviations in customer data.

Urban planning is increasingly embedded in a neoliberal paradigm, resulting in decentralization and deregulation of planning practice. This affects how compact cities are materialized. However, few studies of the effects of neoliberal planning for density consider the resulting geographies of green space. To address this research gap, this paper explores how the idea of green space is being reconf

Aim of the workshop: We invite colleagues to share experiences on cross-fertilization of art and social work research and to discuss how research-based art can serve as a catalyst for social change. Also, the workshop will give hands on knowledge on how to work with the method “deepened film talks”. Background: In a research project focusing moral stress and moral agency in social work, concrete s

After a long period of being constructed as anonymous administration complexes, first instance courts are once again being built as emblematic elements of the city, designed by renowned architects and rising up on central plots adjacent to train stations, headquarter buildings and exclusive residential areas. This is happening at a time of centralisation, upsizing and property privatisation, and w
