Cultural Mapping and Digital Public Engagement in the Future North
No full textArctic landscapes and communities are undergoing massive changes in the context of globalisation, technological advances and climate change. Interdisciplinary research methods involving public participation are increasingly used to harness community strengths and negotiate these dynamic forces, as diverse sets of knowledge are invaluable in understanding a fuller cultural landscape in more robust detail. Further expanding the field, location-based digital tools are increasingly used in urban planning as complementary civic forums to those of brick and mortar. This research incorporates ethnographic methods in a collaborative PPGIS mapping design experiment to investigate how digitally enhanced forms of participation contribute to future place-values and envisioning. The human imagination is captured by examining how local voices emerge and how engagement is expanded in communities in the Norwegian-Russian border region
Debate: Study Protocol. The Physical Environment and Home Healthcare Services. The development and Content of a Study Protocol to Explore Enablers and Barriers for the delivery of Home Healthcare Services
No full textWhilst home healthcare services for an aging population currently living in ordinary housing are increasingly needed, physical environments do not adequately meet current levels of demand for such services. The present study protocol, which combines qualitative and quantitative methods, was developed in order to explore the impact of architectural design on enablers and barriers in the delivery of home healthcare services. An interdisciplinary research team, drawn from the fields of architecture, healthcare, and occupational sciences, will execute the forthcoming study. This study protocol describes the design of that study, which will explore the relation between residential design and the conditions for care in ordinary housing
