We used both quantitative and qualitative research methods to capture visible and invisible forms of microsegregation in the study area. An analysis of census data confirmed the coupling of socio-economic diversity and polarization at the census-tract level in three different forms as a result of various underlying factors, among which the sorting effect of the housing market plays a leading role. The results of in-depth interviews with experts and residents suggest that although the overall perception of the neighborhood is good and that serious conflicts do not occur, there are palpable socio-spatial differences and signs of segregation at the micro scale.

We establish a dataset that includes factors, e.g., housing structures, visual quality, and human physical perception.

In search of an answer to such a question, data as well as demographic and health indicators were used from 16 Polish voivodeship cities mostly considered smart or aspiring to that title. The analysis covered the years 2010–2020. The results indicate a systematic aging of all surveyed urban communities. However, it is progressing at a rather different pace. Unfortunately, not all cities are adjusting the level of health care (medical and nursing staff and hospital infrastructure) to the needs of the growing number of seniors, which—in the future—may exacerbate regional and local medical and social problems. The analysis also shows that the best-performing cities in terms of health care development are Warsaw, Białystok, Kraków and Rzeszów—the units most often identified in international rankings as smart.

The gradual replacement of green areas by residential settlements resulted in an increased LST.

The research method is descriptive-analytical and a documentary and library data collection method is used. In this paper, the Similarity, COPRAS, mean rank method, and cluster analysis method are applied. The final results of the cluster analysis based on the mean rank method indicate a wide gap between the provinces of the country in terms of survey indicators, so that the final coefficient obtained for the provinces in the sixth cluster (the most unsafe group) is about 45 times of the final coefficient of the provinces in the first cluster (the safest group).}, keywords = {SAFETY; crime; spatial analysis; Iran}, year = {2021}, eissn = {2068-9969}, pages = {93-111} } @article{MTMT:32072799, title = {“You become one with the place”: Social mixing, social capital, and the lived experience of urban desegregation in the Roma community}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32072799}, author = {Méreiné Berki, Boglárka and Málovics, György and Creţan, Remus}, doi = {10.1016/j.cities.2021.103302}, journal-iso = {CITIES}, journal = {CITIES: THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF URBAN POLICY AND PLANNING}, volume = {117}, unique-id = {32072799}, issn = {0264-2751}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1873-6084}, orcid-numbers = {Creţan, Remus/0000-0002-9053-8394} } @article{MTMT:32378588, title = {Problematising mainstream Spanish antiracism: race, racism and whiteness}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32378588}, author = {Sebastiani, Luca}, doi = {10.1080/13504630.2021.1966762}, journal-iso = {SOC IDENT}, journal = {SOCIAL IDENTITIES: JOURNAL FOR THE STUDY OF RACE NATION AND CULTURE}, unique-id = {32378588}, issn = {1350-4630}, abstract = {In Spain, (anti-)racism is of scarce relevance to public debates and, when the topic is broached, it has mainly been discussed in relation to non-EU migration. Besides, its historical link with colonialism generally remains unacknowledged. This article analyses the problematisation of 'race' and 'racism' in this context, as performed by hegemonic stakeholders (i.e. public servants, NGOs, experts) in the fields of anti-discrimination, Roma inclusion and immigrant integration policies. As the fieldwork materials illustrate, this understanding rejects 'race' not only from a scientific-biological perspective but also as a social-political category. Accordingly, racism is depoliticised and theorised in a twofold manner: (1) as a matter of stereotypes, prejudices and lack of information about the 'Other'; (2) as the aggressive acts of explicitly racist individuals/organisations. The structural, historical and institutional dimensions of racism are addressed either as background context, or they are negated by public policies. By not confronting the uneven power relations (re)produced by racism, this approach reaffirms 'institutional whiteness' as the underlying perspective of mainstream Spanish anti-racism.}, keywords = {Race; Spain; whiteness; (anti-)racism; institutional racism}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1363-0296} } @article{MTMT:33360845, title = {Is your smart city inclusive?

Apart from some studies analysing attachment to place especially in ecotourism and for specific homogenous environments like botanical gardens, there is a gap regarding the analysis of place attachment and its determinants in spatially heterogeneous and emerging societies. In this paper, we aimed at determining factors predicting place attachment for a socio-economically and demographically diverse area, namely Gauteng province, South Africa, using partial proportional odds models. Socio-demographic variables were selected from existing data, and respondents' satisfaction with the province, preference to stay and resultant sentiments on whether they would rather emigrate from the province were used as outcome variables. Results attest to the intricacy of socio-demographic factors affecting place attachment. For example, population group was a strong predictor of 'preference to stay'. Other variables like age groups, gender, electricity availability, employment status, and education level had no influence on 'preference to stay' in Gauteng. Using the same interpretation, results also indicate that population group, gender, dwelling type, electricity availability, employment status and education levels were strong predictors of 'satisfaction with area'. Only the elderly age group (65+) was a strong predictor of 'satisfaction with area'. Dwelling type, born in Gauteng or emigrated, employment status and age (40+) were all strong predictors of whether respondents could emigrate or not, if given the chance. The findings from this paper present some of the socio-economic and demographic factors such as dwelling type, socio-economic status and ethnicity that governments need to take into consideration in policy, spatial planning and service delivery issues within their localities.}, keywords = {South Africa; place attachment; Partial proportional odds models; Gauteng; GCRO}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1572-9893}, pages = {1-18} } @article{MTMT:31891910, title = {Does Gender Diversity Affect the Environmental Performance of Banks?}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31891910}, author = {Gallego-Sosa, Clara and Fernandez-Torres, Yakira and Gutierrez-Fernandez, Milagros}, doi = {10.3390/su122310172}, journal-iso = {SUSTAINABILITY-BASEL}, journal = {SUSTAINABILITY}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {31891910}, abstract = {Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity today. Therefore, all segments of society must act together to stop the deterioration of the planet and the depletion of its resources. The business sector must play an active role in acting responsibly toward the environment. Given the importance of this issue, major efforts have been made to analyze the environmental performance of the most polluting sectors. In contrast, other sectors that are also of great interest due to their contribution to sustainable development, such as the banking sector, have been overlooked. Notable factors conditioning performance include aspects of corporate governance such as gender diversity. However, the empirical evidence reveals a lack of consensus regarding the influence of women directors on corporate environmental performance. This background motivates the study of the commitment of the banking sector to reducing their environmental impact and the analysis the influence of board gender diversity on environmental performance.
