This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book weaves the story of the complex links between education and its territories. The aim here is to examine the education couple - understood in the broadest sense: school, college, high school, universities - and territory, according to three main axes: the history and the characterization of the different ties maintained And which the school and its territory always maintain; That of the categorization and characterization of the territories in which the school is situated, of the educational policies - both explicit and grassroots - connected with it and their effects on the school; That of recent pedagogical, didactic and organizational innovations. The book is based on French specialists in territorial education issues.

Download or read book The Politics of Place Naming written by Frederic Giraut and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-12-28 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naming the places of the world is an essential human act of territorialization. As the subject of conflict or dispute, naming plays out in numerous ways that involve collective and individual relationships to space, whether functional or imaginary, as well as the identities related to them. Name traces also differ together with their inscription within landscapes and history. Names constitute a heritage, they bear witness, they mark places and thus contribute to the foundation of territories. Beyond place names, place naming reveals the functions and uses of names, but also the contradictory meanings that society bestows on them. With this framework in mind, that of critical toponymy, The Politics of Place Naming considers different points of view when studying place naming. These vary from linguistics to political and cultural geography, via history, anthropology, cartography, urban planning, digital humanities, subaltern studies and many other disciplines. This book honors this transversality by taking such studies into account in its examination of place naming.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores the complex relationship between schooling as a set of practices embedded in educational institutions and their specific spatial dimensions from different disciplinary perspectives. It presents innovative empirical and conceptual research by international scholars from the fields of social geography, pedagogy, educational and social sciences in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Czechia, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Canada. The book covers a broad range of topics, all examined from a spatial perspective: the governance of schooling, the transition processes of and within national school systems, the question of small schools in peripheral areas as well as the embeddedness of schooling in broader processes of social change. Transcending disciplinary boundaries, the book offers deep insights into current theoretical debates and empirical case studies within the broad research field encompassing the complex relationship between education and space.

Book excerpt: Innovative Cities presents a unique international comparison of innovation in Amsterdam, London, Milan, Paris and Stuttgart. Based on research funded by the ESRC program on 'Cities: Competitiveness and Cohesion', it compares and contrasts the reasons why these sites are among the top ten innovative cities in Europe. Innovation is one of the key driving forces of economic growth in modern economies. The research reported here takes a careful and directly comparable look at what characteristics and conditions in the five cities have led to the flourishing of innovation in them. Researchers with detailed local knowledge have applied the same analytical tools and survey techniques to investigating this question and the result present a unique international comparison of innovation in the five cities.

Download or read book Renewable Energies and European Landscapes written by Marina Frolova and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides timely, multidisciplinary cross-national comparison of the institutional and social processes through which renewable energy landscapes have emerged in Southern Europe. On the basis of case studies in these countries, it analyzes the way in which and the extent to which the development of renewable energies has affected landscape forms and whether or not it has contributed to a reformulation of landscape practices and values in these countries. Landscape is conceived broadly, as a material, social, political and historical process embedded into the local realm, going beyond aesthetic. The case studies analyze renewable energy landscapes in Southern Europe on different political and geographical scales and compare different types of renewable energy such as wind, hydro, solar and biomass power. The contributors are leading experts from Spain, France, Italy and Portugal. The book is intended for researchers, graduate students and professionals interested in geography, landscape and planning.

Download or read book Fonder les sciences du territoire written by Pierre Beckouche and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2012 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le colloque "Fonder les sciences du territoire" a constitué le lancement scientifique du GIS-CIST (Collège international des sciences du territoire). Il devait répondre à cette question : nous savons que le territoire est au coeur d'un grand nombre des transformations des sociétés contemporaines, mais pour autant avons-nous raison de vouloir fonder les "sciences du territoire" ? Cela supposait de répondre à d'autres questions préalables : sur la confrontation aux expériences interdisciplinaires étrangères dans le domaine. Si l'on veut constituer un réseau international, encore faut-il s'assurer de l'existence d'initiatives similaires à l'étranger et du degré de compatibilité avec elles ; sur les thématiques des sciences du territoire, le GIS ayant lancé de premiers axes de travail mais devant rester ouvert à d'autres axes possibles ; sur la nature de ces "sciences du territoire" : doivent-elles être conçues comme un champ multidisciplinaire, c'est-à-dire comme un ensemble de disciplines scientifiques que l'on confronterait pour comprendre, de manière minimalement harmonisée, la dimension territoriale de leurs objets propres ? Ou doit-on aller jusqu'à considérer qu'il s'agirait d'une discipline scientifique émergente, dont il faudra alors définir les concepts, les lois et les méthodes d'analyse ? Le spectre des disciplines concernées est large, très au-delà des SHS. Car c'est dans la confrontation des SHS avec les sciences de la vie et de la terre, les sciences de santé et les sciences de l'ingénieur (modélisation, systèmes complexes...) que les enjeux théoriques et méthodologiques sont les plus grands. Par exemple, le manque d'échanges entre les physiciens ou mathématiciens qui conçoivent les modèles du changement climatique, et les SHS dédiées à l'impact territorial de ce changement climatique, se traduit par une insuffisante interaction entre les analyses globales et locales. Enfin, au-delà des disciplines scientifiques, comment les sciences du territoire devraient-elles se situer par rapport aux pratiques du développement territorial ? Ce premier ouvrage de la Collection du CIST, dirigé par Pierre Beckouche, Claude Grasland, France Guérin-Pace, Jean-Yves Moisseron, rend compte des travaux menés au sein du Collège international des sciences du territoire.

Download or read book Smart Development for Rural Areas written by André Torre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-11 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking book questions the framework of the Horizon 2020 strategy and the policies of smart development. It aims to answer the following question: Is there any possibility for a policy of smart development and smart specialization in rural and peri-urban areas? Based on detailed analytical studies, empirical and econometric methods, as well as various European case studies, several conclusions are drawn. Smart development policies are well adapted to the developed or intermediate regions containing at the same time rural and urban areas, but do not really function for the more rural or more peripheral regions. The development policies of rural areas must be adapted to their particular characteristics, to the structure of their economies (agriculture, small firms), as well as in their diversity (distant regions, intermediate regions, rural areas near the urban areas). It appears interesting to exploit natural and cultural amenities, to develop the multifunctional character of the agriculture, to promote territorial innovation under all its forms, to favor the synergies between the various uses of land and space, and to develop the knowledge on the ecological, socioeconomic processes, as well as on the mechanisms of territorial governance. These results are very important because they question the validity of the H2020 policy and the smart development and smart specialization policies and their applicability to the whole European area, and not only for the most urban and rich areas. It will be valuable reading for students, researchers and policy-makers in regional development, rural studies, spatial planning and economic geography.
