Making the Unfamiliar Familiar: Research Journeys towards Understanding Migration and Place

Understanding the ways people respond to place in an inter‐cultural context is a rich and rewarding process. The knowledge‐discovery journey can involve different modes of transport and multiple and various routes. The qualitative vehicle, although soft in its steering and often circular in direction, provides opportunities to explore landscapes that one rarely sees in single‐trajectory intellectual travel. Using hermeneutics and phenomenology, with a particular focus on metaphors and tropes, a number of conceptual journeys related to researching the experience of migration are described. The difficult state of being ‘between place’ and how this becomes manifest in real places is explored. The journeys show that only by travelling circuitously can one arrive at a multi‐faceted form of awareness of the experience of migration and place.     

Place Making in Shanghai Hongqiao Business District: An Institutional Capacity Perspective

The pro-growth, state-led institutional setting in China makes it easy to build infrastructure and physical space. Nevertheless despite the aspiration to create the qualities often associated with place making, many urban developments around new High-Speed Railway hubs lack essential urban qualities. This paper uses the idea of institutional capacity to explore the conditions that, in the Chinese context, might contribute to place making. The Hongqiao Business District, developed around a new transportation hub in western Shanghai indicates that the involvement of a varied set of actors that is not only guided by hierarchical relationships has several consequences for place making. It allows for value capturing to support unprofitable components of development plans such as public space. Furthermore, it turns actors on the district and street-offices level into constructive stakeholders of urban mega-projects and creates awareness of the importance of open knowledge management (transparency of information openness, use of local knowledge, etc.). While the Hongqiao conditions might not be copied straightforward to other Chinese cases, they could provide a source of inspiration for other projects that strive for urban quality.     

似与不似之间:由现实理性而理想

<正>建筑职业的矛盾之一是现实和理想之间的差距。阿尔瓦·西扎曾经说,他从未完全实现过一个建筑。其状况的普遍化,由此可见一斑。而形成这样的矛盾之一是建筑职业的社会性与建筑学本身的自主性。对于建筑社会性的理解有很多个层面,最直接的解释可能是建筑是社会生产和社会生活的一部分。即便是最商业的项目,从总体上说,也是社会生产的一部分,占用并使用了社会资源。更直白的描述或许是,建筑师的工作是用别人的钱,通过其他人的劳动(也包括建筑师自己的),为别人盖房子。这里面隐含的一个问题是,建筑

场所意义：原居安老与老人住宅 台湾双连社区福利园区空间设计解析

在老人居住环境里,生活满意程度和参与休闲活动两者关系密切,研究显示：一个人的行为与情感,就是其与周遭环境互动的结果。对居住者来说,一个成功的居住环境应同时兼顾功能性、支持性和意义性,其环境不只鼓励团体意象与活动参与,更能提供一个熟悉的家的感觉;而空间层级的设计,可以提供一个支持行为的环境。文章针对空间层级与老人休闲活动的关系进行研究,以分析台湾第一个连续性照护小区“双连社会福利园区”的成功之处,经由其空间结构的分析,提供未来设计的建议,而此连续性照护模式也可进一步地广义解释为“原居安老”的延伸概念之一。     

德国纽伦堡G级中心地体系的变迁研究

中心地理论是我国城镇体系规划工作中研究和引介的诸多西方理论之一.本研究从该理论的诞生地选取一个具有完整体系结构的样本区域——纽伦堡G体系,从空间形态、建成区面积、人口、人口密度、中心地分布等方面,对1925年和2005年两个代表性时间段的数据进行研究,形成若干关于中心地体系变迁的认识.文章进一步分析了这种变迁的影响因素,供规划师借鉴参考.研究发现,G体系的中东部区域出现显著的提升发展趋势,西南部区域出现明显的弱化趋势,总体呈现出区域性非均衡发展格局.     

Karalee Rock: The Formation of Place and Identity

Karalee Rock is a location deep in the Western Australian bush between Southern Cross and Coolgardie. It is a natural landscape that has been scarred by water engineering and industrial use and is a well used local recreation area and tourist destination. Karalee offers a contained setting in which to discuss the role of identity in the processes of place formation and the importance of recognising and understanding places in the redevelopment of urban environments.

Place attachment assessment of a heritage place: A case study of the Roman amphitheater in downtown Amman,Jordan

This research investigated the place attachment of a heritage place, namely, the Roman amphitheater, by using a valid model, the Kyle, Graefe, and Manning (2005) model. This model presents three factors to reach place attachment: place identification, place dependence, and social bonding. Although the validity of the used model was proved, statistical tests were used to verify the validity of the collected data because the model was used on a heritage site. In accordance with the mentioned model, the sample was interviewed using the model questionnaire to evaluate people's attachment to the heritage place during rush hours. Along with other statistical tests, the exploratory factor analysis of the sample elaborated that the Kyle, Graefe, and Manning model is not completely valid for this study, because the results added a new effective factor, namely, spiritual value. The place attachment estimation was then examined using the new model. The nature of the place was found to affect the model used to evaluate its place attachment.

基于场所精神谈城市本质的感知及其意义

建筑现象学的产生是为了探寻建筑存在的本质意义以及在此意义指导下的空间环境塑造行为.城市空间与建筑空间有着密不可分的辩证关系,城市空间在宏观意义上可以类似于建筑空间.因此,运用场所精神对具体的、狭义的空间环境感知拓展至更加宏观抽象的、广义的城市本质的感知,并以此解释城市的本质对于人们的城市辨别感、认同感等方面的意义....

Experiential Landscape Place: An exploration of space and experience in neighbourhood landscape architecture

Research suggests that the experience of open spaces routinely encountered is important to human quality of life. However, in their design decision making, landscape architects may not give this the level of attention it deserves. A potential response is explored by drawing from elements of environmental psychology research, socially responsive approaches to urban planning and design, and spatial concepts developed by Christian Norberg-Schulz. A range of experience, related to how people attach significance to certain locations, orientate themselves, and develop awareness of their home ground, is conceptualized spatially to propose a conceptual framework which has the potential to augment landscape architectural approaches to the neighbourhood environment.     

当前"儿童与游戏场所"课题的研究要点

儿童游戏场所是儿童"游戏"生活行为的载体,儿童通过游戏可以获得其他生活行为难以获得的自发性创造的勇气和能力,养成成为大人所必要的人际关系和自治的能力,即游戏对于儿童有着特殊的地位和特别的作用。在规划设计儿童公园以及公园绿地时,需要考虑儿童自身的想象力,提供儿童游戏时可能用到的工具及素材。在游戏场所中如何保护儿童,使其免受危险也是必须考虑的问题。

On the Social Relations of Contract Research Production: Power,Positionality and Epistemology in Housing and Urban Research

The growing interest in reflexive social science has been matched by a voluminous literature on the epistemological consequences of positionality in social research. Inter-subjectivist approaches to positionality emphasise how social interactions within the field produce ‘interpretative moments’ and thereby consciously affect the process of knowledge production. Objectivist approaches to positionality emphasise the ‘background thinking’ that social researchers carry into the field, unexamined, as occupants of social positions that are class, gender etc. based. It follows that this (class, gendered) background thinking unconsciously influences the process of knowledge production. However, since this literature has had little impact on the field of housing and urban research, its relevance to these fields remains to be established and vice versa. In this paper, I discuss both of these approaches and find them helpful but limited in their relevance to housing and urban research. Since housing and urban research tends to be undertaken on behalf of ‘policy funders’, I argue that constant exposure to the ‘disciplinary gaze’ of those funders means that the positionality of housing and urban researchers is also moulded during the course of the academic career. This means that the positionality of housing and urban researchers is not simply established within the field nor carried into the field. Rather, the positionality of housing and urban researchers develops over time of constant exposure to the ‘disciplinary gaze’ of research funders and manifests itself in what Foucault refers to as ‘docility’, i.e. research practices intuitively and uncritically oriented to satisfying the needs and demands of research funders. I draw on my own research career experiences to demonstrate this argument and, in doing so, show how my docility manifested itself during recent ‘policy funded’ research into the housing and urban problems of visual impaired children.
