Tidigare har de flesta städer och orterutvecklats genom att växa utåt, vilket har lett till förlust av naturområden ochjordbruksmark och ökat beroendet av bilar. Att bygga staden inåt istället, så kallad förtätning, är numera en populär strategi för att minska bostadsbristen.

In this process there is a risk for an inexplicit decrease of green space. The green features ofneighbourhoods help to create a supportive environment for health and physicalactivity, thus a reduction of greenness may reduce the general well-being in thepopulat

For this purpose, after an introduction of the context of mining historically, socially, and geographically in Brazil, a framework of Indigenous Peoples’ rights is described, and each right analyzed separately. All rights are interconnected and interdependent, but it becomes evident t

The purpose of this paper has been to create a theoretical framework by which one can understand communicative transference within, as well as between, systems. The paper has aimed to make use of how ‘the self’ in relation to neurocognitive impairments is conceptualized, communicated, and understood within the fields of Law, Psychology, and Neurology, in order to provide evidentiary support for su

Energy sufficiency has been recognised as a strategy to promote sustainable energy use and achieve climate neutrality. It aims to reduce energy demand in absolute terms. ‘Living Space Reduction’ (LSR) is one way to achieve energy sufficiency in the housing sector. However, existing studies highlight significant barriers to its materialisation, including the lack of funding and expert knowledge of

Border carbon adjustment (BCA) policies are increasingly discussed as an instrument to avoid carbon leakage; however, their social implications are not well understood. Nevertheless, the EU introduced its CBAM, which will take effect in 2026. After showing that distributional impacts in exporting countries were not considered in the policy process, I examine the potential effects in South Africa,

How is Turkish official memory negotiated locally in Izmir, a city celebrated as a symbol of national becoming, yet (im)famous for its scepticism of central power? How is the past of the city narrated, conceived as an epitome of progress, yet built on a systematic forgetting of trauma and violence? And how does the secularist legacy of Izmir, accentuated in contrast with the Islamisation of memory

This study explored immigrant women's per

Globally we are facing a complex web of grand challenges that are impacting the lived environment, our development pathways, and wider quality of life.

Abstract. A well known trade-off effect with modelling is that when it is user friendly it becomes ambiguous and when it has a formal notation, that makes it unambiguous, it becomes less user friendly. A well known solution to this dilemma is to use models on various levels of formalism where the least formalized models are known to be more user friendly and the most formalized models are well sui
