推进人口可持续发展政策下的深圳女性友好型城市建设研究

育龄女性的婚恋观和生育观在不同的时代环境中不断变化。在快速城市化过程中,养育成本高企、家庭就业失衡、家庭支持不足、社会配套服务短缺等问题的出现,一定程度上抑制了女性生育意愿。随着进一步完善和落实积极生育措施的各项政策出台,构建女性友好的社会环境和城市环境成为降低“三育”成本、平衡女性工作家庭冲突以及促进家庭发展的重要手段。文章通过对深圳市育龄女性的构成特征进行分析,总结深圳女性友好型城市建设现状,从建筑与城市规划的角度对深圳城市社区空间、办公空间、公共空间等城市空间与设施建设提出针对性建议,倡导从城市空间规划的角度降低生育顾虑、提高女性友好的空间质量,促进性别包容,促进深圳建设女性友好型城市。     

城市环境美的建设与现实经济实力

什么是城市环境?城市环境的内涵是极其丰富的,我们所要研究的城市环境,主要是四个内容,即自然环境、人工环境(或叫人为环境、人造环境、人化的自然环境)、生态环境和社会环境。自然环境,主要是指城市的地理位置,城市以内或城市附近的山,水(江、河、湖、海),树木,气候等等。

加快推进郊区新城建设 促进城市空间结构调整

1999年上海城市规划提出城市发展战略从600平方公里向6000平方公里扩展,上海"十一五"规划确定了郊区近期发展3大新城、远期发展为9大新城的目标。但是至今为止,中心城区"一城独大"的现象依然存在。郊区新城建设尚未上升到上海城市核心战略的高度,新城城市功能形成缓慢,上海"四个中心"建设缺乏有效率的空间结构支撑。世博会以后,上海将面临城市发展速度减缓、全球经济下行周期压力增大的环境。加快推进上海郊区新城建设,促进城市空间结构调整,是上海寻求后世博会发展"治本之策"的重要途径。本文从国际大都市郊区新城经验、上海郊区新城发展历程和目前存在的问题和瓶颈、发展思路和对策建议等几方面给予了深入解答。

加强地下管网建设推进构建和谐社会

城市地下管网是城市的重要基础设施,为城市居民的生产、生活提供最基础的公共服务.随着城市现代化进程的加快,社会分工越来越细,自动化程度越来越高,现代城市对城市地下管网的依赖度也越来越强,人们的生产生活和整个社会紧密地联系在一起,而这一切都是建立在城市地下管网的公共服务基础之上的.一旦停水、停气,人们不仅不能工作和学习,就连吃饭、喝水这些最基本的生活需要都无法满足了,必然会产生社会恐慌、人群骚乱,引发社会危机.当前,随着经济的高速发展和城市化水平的不断提高,很多城市的地下管网逐渐成为制约城市可持续发展的瓶颈.

Time and aging--mechanisms and meanings

A recent European Molecular Biology Laboratory Conference on Science and Society entitled "Time & Aging--Mechanisms & Meanings" fascinated scientists from different research areas as well as nonscientists. Topics discussed included not only the biological aging process but also the psychological effects of aging and social influences that affect this process.     

Arts and Crafts and Reconstruction

Abstract

This paper examines the role of arts and crafts in reconstructing communities after times of upheaval, their use in creating employment opportunities, and their impact on the nature of South African art history. It looks at craft initiatives during and after the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002, and draws parallels with early twentieth-century initiatives, particularly those of Florence Phillips, who founded the Johannesburg Art Gallery in 1910, Emily Hobhouse, who established Boer home industries, and the South African National Union, which promoted the manufacture and use of local products.     

Sexual Compulsivity and Sexual Behaviors Among Gay and Bisexual Men and Lesbian and Bisexual Women

Within the existing body of research, the information pertaining to sexual compulsivity (SC) among women, both homo- and heterosexual, remains rather limited in comparison to men. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of SC in a community sample of gay and bisexual men and lesbian and bisexual women and to identify differences in sexual practices based on classification as sexually compulsive within gender. Supporting previous research, the findings indicated that gay and bisexual men were significantly higher in SC when compared to lesbian and bisexual women. Similarly, sexually compulsive gay and bisexual men were more likely to report drug use with sex than their non-sexually compulsive peers, suggesting that “party n' play” may play a larger role for men with SC. In addition, the findings demonstrated empirical support for the proposition that lesbian and bisexual women with symptoms of SC were more likely to engage in specialized sexual behaviors in comparison to their non-sexually compulsive peers. These data suggest that SC manifests differently in gay, lesbian, and bisexual men and women.     

Evening and night work schedules and children's social and emotional well-being

ABSTRACT

An emerging body of evidence shows that parents’ non-standard work schedules have a detrimental effect on children's well-being. However, only a limited number of studies have investigated mediating factors that underpin this association. Likewise, only a few studies have examined the impact of fathers’ non-standard work schedules on children's well-being. Based on data from the Families in Germany Study (FiD), this study aimed to address these research gaps. The sample consists of parents and their children at ages 7–8 and 9–10 (n?=?838 child observations in dual-earner families). The data were collected in the years 2010–2013. Non-standard work hours were defined as working in evenings and or at night (every day, several times a week, or changing as shifts). Children's social and emotional well-being was measured with the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The findings show that both mothers’ and fathers’ evening and night work schedules are linked to an increase in children's externalizing and internalizing behavior and that this association is partially mediated by mothers’ and fathers’ harsh and strict parenting, with a stronger mediation effect for fathers parenting.     

History and the here and now

This paper explores the lesser-known histories and present-day realities of small towns and non-metropolitan areas in the internal provinces of South Africa. It is different inasmuch as it focuses on transformations that have taken place at the local level, and where possible, generalises from these, rather than following the normal route taken by social scientists – at least from 1994, which has been to examine them from the top down. One feature of such changes has been the growth of gated communicates across the length and breadth of South Africa, but there are many more. One reason for their anonymity is that their evolution has been gradual and corpuscular, that they have become unconsciously familiar and are left unexamined. Another is our collective preoccupation with the metropolitan areas rather than the smaller localities where such processes are subterranean and confined. This paper presents very briefly some of the results of the researchers of the Local Histories and Present Realities programme over the past five years, in 19 separate centres. It examines the history and present circumstance of chiefdoms of Ga-Mphahlele and reveals the surprise finding that much of recent and contemporary politics revolve around events 200 years old. An analogous situation has arisen in Venda as well as in Mpumalanga and elsewhere, where a combination of new legislation to revive chiefly powers, and land reclamation legislation have lent a new legitimacy to chiefly powers, and inspired hundreds of phantom – and time-consuming – quests. Another massive development which has gone on around us but whose internal dynamics have never been observed is the rise of game hunting and ranching all over the interior of South Africa. This is a monster subject which is likely to have influence on all of our lives into which our group is now in a position to offer insights. A change of equal proportions is the rise of mining all over the interior Bushveld Igneous Complex – Mokopane is a good example of this and the huge social consequences this has brought in its wake. One final theme which embraces all the communities that we have studied is the local histories of transformation – collectively the most important – since 1994. This is almost entirely hidden to a wider world, including the transformed positions of local Indian residents.     

Thinking and Speech and Protocol Analysis

Some form of verbal report—that is, a research participant' s concurrent or retrospective verbal account of thought processes during problem-solving activities—has been used throughout this century as the database from which psychologists have developed theories of human mentation. Newell and Simon (1972) and Ericsson and Simon (1980, 1993) have provided extensive justification for using one such method, protocol analysis, as a tool for investigating cognition from an information-processing (IP) perspective. Their arguments have characterized protocol analysis as a methodology capable of providing evidence of the ways in which people attend to information stored in short-term memory to solve problems, with the evidence providing them with the grounds from which to generate models of human cognitive processes. A different view of protocol analysis is available from the perspective of cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT) based on the work of Vygotsky (1987), Leont'ev (1981), and others, and its concern with the mediation of human development by culturally and historically grounded signs and tools. Because of its emphasis on culturally channeled development, a CHAT perspective views speech, including the speech that serves as evidence for cognition in psychological research, as a tool that potentially enables changes in consciousness. In this article I outline a CHAT perspective that accounts for protocol analysis along three key dimensions: (a) the relation between thinking and speech from a representational standpoint, (b) the social role of speech in research methodology, and (c) the influence of speech on thinking during data collection. The purpose of this discussion is not to refute the IP perspective on protocol analysis but to illustrate how this method can be viewed through a CHAT lens and to identify alternative assumptions that must be made to use it from a CHAT perspective.
