Remembering Deindustrialization: Autobiographical narratives of European trade unionists
No full textThe dataset contains recordings of 21 interviews with trade union activists from 10 European countries (Poland, Germany, Sweden, Kosovo, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Hungary, Slovenia, and Luxembourg). The recordings are available in audio or video format. The interviews were conducted in the interviewees' native languages.The data contained in the dataset was gathered during the project Remembering Deindustrialization: Autobiographical Narratives of European Trade Unionists.The project involved collecting narrative biographical interviews from representatives of the generation of European trade unionists born between the 1940s and 1960s, whose lives spanned a period of profound economic, social and cultural change associated with the processes of deindustrialisation. These changes took place at different pace depending on the political and economic systems of individual countries, simultaneously influencing the transformation of the working world and, consequently, the shape of European societies at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century. Trade unions were at the forefront of addressing the problems arising from the tensions of late modernity and conflicting social interests. At the same time, drawing on social, economic, technological and legal knowledge, they played an important role in the process of change. Conversations with trade unionists thus allow us to grasp the significance of the changes in the working world from the perspective of key custodians of social memory of the industrial era and its transformations.The project was carried out by an international and interdisciplinary research group based in the COST Network Slow Memory: Transformative Practices for Times of Uneven and Accelerating Change (https://www.slowmemory.eu/).</p
An explanation-oriented inquiry dialogue game for expert collaborative recommendations
No full textThe objective of the user study was to evaluate the usability of the dialogue protocol. The protocol is supposed to facilitate collaborative decision making between medical experts. Usability evaluation has been done to assess whether and how much the protocol enables transfer of learning, conflict resolution, agreement on explanations and collaborative decision making. Due to the highly specialised profile (i.e. medical experts) required for the test subjects in this user study, it was difficult to recruit test subjects. So discount testing was done with the minimum number of participants for the formative study (5 participants). The goal of the study was to elicit user’s perspectives on effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction of the platform and the underlying protocol in meeting their professional communication needs. The participants were final year medical students from a medical university in Barcelona, Spain. They were volunteers who responded to a call for participation after reading the advertised information sheet through their University’s human resource department.Participants were given scenarios (medical cases) based on anonymous patient data taken from the publicly available Thyroid dataset from the Machine Learning repository (https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Thyroid+Disease, DOI: https://doi.org/10.24432/C5D010). For each session of the usability testing, participants were divided into groups of three. They were then tasked with collaboratively deciding on the best possible diagnosis and advice for an anonymous patient with a thyroid disorder. Each scenario asked the participants to diagnose and prescribe treatments for test examples taken from the dataset. Each participant needed a computer to access the web application. The researcher in charge moderated each session and conducted the interview at the end of each session. Each session took 45 minutes in total. The post session interviews from the user study were recorded with the consent of participants, transcribed and the interview data was thematically analysed to discover key insights. Openly available are the experimental cases (original Thyroid dataset) used as an experimental material discussed during interviews and the questions asked during the interviews (both attached to this repository). Due to the decision of The Bioethics Commission of the University of Barcelona, full transcripts of interviews could not be publicly shared. The special requests and inquiries about this data can be send to the Authors of the study: Qurat-ul-ain Shaheen (qurat@iiia.csic.es), Katarzyna Budzynska (Katarzyna.Budzynska@pw.edu.pl), and Carles Sierra (sierra@iiia.csic.es).

Interviews with system operators and users of the Polish BBSes
No full textThe dataset includes individual interviews with the system operators and users of the Polish BBSes. BBSes were computer servers connected via telephone line. They were used as a social media before the internet, the users were sharing knowledge, software and sense of community in the decentralized fashion. The interviews were conducted from November 2023 to February 2025 with the people engaged in the BBS culture in the 90s. They were recruited mainly thanks to the comparing of archival lists of operators and their contemporary social media profiles. Interviews were anonymized for the purpose of sharing to the repository.</p

The spatiality of urban safety and care. A qualitative study of young women’s life trajectories in Argentina
No full textThis research explores the intersection of gender-based violence, urban safety, and care networks in the lives of young women living in both middle-class and marginalized neighborhoods in Córdoba, Argentina. Conducted in 2022, the study utilized a qualitative methodology, including 30 in-depth interviews and a six-month urban ethnography, yielding 350 pages of transcribed interviews and approximately 400 visual documents (photographs and videos). The collected data were systematically coded and analyzed using the qualitative research software.Key FindingsThe study highlights how young women navigate and experience various forms of gender-based violence in public spaces, ranging from verbal harassment and stalking to femicide. The research develops a nuanced definition of public space violence, emphasizing elements such as unpredictability, temporary immobilization, and heightened scrutiny of women’s physical appearance. Moving beyond binary understandings of safety and danger, the study proposes that urban safety should be seen as a fluid concept negotiated between risk and visibility. The research introduces the notion of "subversive visibility", describing how women reclaim public spaces through political presence and collective action. The study redefines care as a collective and political act rather than just an individual responsibility. It introduces the concept of "collective care", emphasizing shared responsibility, the creation of safe physical spaces, and the role of feminist mobilizations in strengthening support networks.Theoretical Contributions and ImpactThis research makes a significant contribution to urban sociology, gender studies, and interdisciplinary urban research. The findings have been recognized by the Network for Women and Habitat, which acknowledged the study’s interdisciplinary approach and its relevance to urban planning and social policy in Latin America. By integrating spatial, social, and gendered dimensions, this study advances the understanding of urban experiences of young women, providing a framework for future research and policy initiatives aimed at creating safer and more inclusive cities.Before making the dataset available in the Qualitative Data Archive, interview transcripts were anonymized.</p

Sociolinguistics of Caqueta-Putumayo River Basins Dataset
No full textThis dataset is based on genealogical data from seven Indigenous groups across three language families—Witotoan (Murui-Muina encompassing two varieties: Murui and Mɨnɨka; Ocaina; Nonuya), Boran (Bora; Muinane), and Arawak (Resígaro)—and one linguistic isolate, Andoke, in the Caquetá-Putumayo River Basins of Colombia. It was collected during fieldwork in Leticia, Colombia, in 2024 by linguist Dr. Katarzyna I. Wojtylak, under the SONATA 16 funding scheme by the National Science Centre (NCN).The dataset is part of the cross-disciplinary project Social Limits of Languages: The Dynamics of Contact in Northwest Amazonia, which aims to develop a framework for analyzing diffusion patterns in language contact scenarios among the Indigenous languages of the Caquetá-Putumayo region. It provides valuable genealogical data documenting intermarriage, multilingualism, and language vitality, as well as insights into historical linguistic interactions.Spanning both pre-Rubber Boom societal structures (19th century) and contemporary changes in language use, the dataset offers a comprehensive view of sociolinguistic dynamics in the region. It enables researchers to trace the evolution of language transmission, family structures, and the impact of sociopolitical changes, including colonialism and economic exploitation.The dataset is structured into CSV and PNG files, containing individual genealogical information, familial relationships, marital ties, and linguistic repertoires. This resource facilitates research into the long-term effects of intermarriage, language contact, and cultural exchange, offering a tool for scholars in sociolinguistics, anthropology, and Indigenous studies.Available in two formats—open-access anonymized data (CC BY license) and restricted-access data (with personal identifiers available upon request)—this dataset is a valuable resource for reconstructing the social and linguistic history of the Caquetá-Putumayo River Basins in Northwest Amazonia.</p
Metadane zbioru: pamiętniki zebrane w konkursie „Życie codzienne w czasach koronawirusa”
No full textPamiętniki zostały zebrane w ramach konkursu „Życie codzienne w czasach koronawirusa” organizowanego przez Instytut Gospodarstwa Społecznego SGH w Warszawie oraz Instytut Socjologii UMK w Toruniu. Konkurs zrealizowany został w dwóch edycjach. Pierwsza konkursu edycja obejmowała początek koronawirusa w Polsce w okresie marzec 2020 - lipiec 2020. W zbiorze udostępniono 143 pamiętniki obejmujące okres pierwszej edycji konkursu. Druga edycja konkursu objęła okres listopad 2020 - kwiecień 2021. W zbiorze udostępniono 144 pamiętniki z czasu drugiej edycji konkursu. W objętym konkursem okresie w latach 2020 i 2021 odbyły się trzy fale pandemii i trzy lockdowny w Polsce. Zawarte w pamiętnikach zapiski dnia codziennego umożliwiają ocenę wyzwań, przed którymi stawali pamiętnikarze oraz zmian w funkcjonowaniu ich gospodarstw domowych. W ramach konkursu pamiętnikarze przesłali ponad 700 prac konkursowych. Wyróżnione prace konkursowe zostały opublikowane nakładem Oficyny Wydawniczej SGH w dwóch zbiorach. W roku 2022 pod redakcją naukową Ł. Posłusznego, P. Błędowskiego i P. Kubickiego ukazało się opracowanie „Życie codzienne w czasach koronawirusa. Tom 1” obejmujące pierwszy etap konkursu oraz w roku 2025 pod redakcją naukową K. Trawińskiej-Konador i J. Felczak opublikowano „Życie codzienne w czasach koronawirusa. Tom 2” obejmujący prace z drugiego etapu konkursu. Do wszystkich autorów pamiętników wystosowano zapytanie o możliwość wykorzystania ich prac do utworzenia niniejszego zbioru, z założeniem wcześniejszej anonimizacji pamiętników. W niniejszym zbiorze udostępniono 287 pamiętników, których autorzy wyrazili zgodę na tę formę publikacji. Materiał ten został zanonimizowany i zdigitalizowany w ramach projektu „Gospodarstwa domowe w czasach koronawirusa. Praca zawodowa, edukacja i wsparcie w warunkach niepewności” finansowanego przez NCN w ramach grantu 2020/39/B/HS5/03121.Pamiętniki odzwierciedlają zróżnicowanie emocji, które towarzyszyły Polakom podczas kolejnych etapów pandemii. Znaleźć w nich można między innymi panikę zakupową, reakcję na wprowadzane lockdowny, zmęczenie obostrzeniami, oczekiwanie na szczepionki i sposoby łamania restrykcji, zmagania się z edukacją online i zmiany, które zaszły w sytuacji finansowej, w mieszkaniach i w codziennej rutynie u pamiętnikarzy i ich bliskich. Zgodnie z odezwą konkursową pytaliśmy o te zmiany, które dla pamiętnikarzy są istotne. Uzyskany materiał badawczy odzwierciedlał tę indywidualną perspektywę i uwidocznił zróżnicowanie w ocenie realizowanej w latach 2020 i 2021 polityki, w ocenie funkcjonowania instytucji publicznych i w ocenie wsparcia udzielanego przez Państwo różnym grupom zawodowym i społecznym. Subiektywizm badanych przejawia się także w ich ocenie znaczenia pandemii jako sytuacji kryzysowej. Lektura pamiętników unaocznia kogo kryzys wywołany COVID-19 dotykał, jak się przejawiał, jakie koszty powodował oraz jak sobie z nim radzili pamiętnikarze.Pamiętniki są dostępne w repozytorium Zenodo na licencji CC BY 4.0. W Repozytorium Danych Społecznych udostępniono metadane zbioru.The diaries were collected as part of the “Everyday Life in the Time of the Coronavirus” competition organized by the Institute of Social Economy of the Warsaw School of Economics and the Institute of Sociology of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun. The contest was carried out in two editions. The first edition of the competition covered the beginning of the coronavirus in Poland in the period March 2020-July 2020. 143 diaries covering the period of the first edition of the competition are available in this collection. The second edition of the competition covered the period November 2020 - April 2021. 144 diaries covering the time of the second edition of the competition are available in this collection. In the period covered by the contest, there were three waves of pandemics and three lockdowns in Poland in 2020 and 2021. The daily diary entries make it possible to assess the challenges that the diarists faced and the changes in the functioning of their households. Diarists submitted more than 700 entries to the competition. The awarded competition entries were published by the SGH Publishing House in two collections. In 2022, under the scientific editorship of Ł. Posłuszny, P. Błędowski and P. Kubicki, the study “Everyday life in the times of coronavirus Volume 1” covering the first stage of the competition was published, and in 2025, under the scientific editorship of K. Trawińska-Konador, J. Felczak “Everyday life in the times of coronavirus Volume 2” covering the works from the second phase of the competition was published. An inquiry was made to all the authors of the diaries about the possibility of using their work to create the present collection, with the assumption of prior anonymization of the diaries. In the present collection, 287 diaries are available, whose authors agreed to this form of publication. This material was anonymized and digitized as part of the project “Households in the time of the coronavirus. Work, education, and support under uncertainty” funded by NCN under grant 2020/39/B/HS5/03121.The diaries reflect the diversity of emotions that accompanied Poles during the successive stages of the pandemic. Among other things, one can find in them panic buying, reaction to the introduced lockdowns, fatigue with the restrictions, waiting for vaccines and ways to break the restrictions, struggles with online education and changes that occurred in the financial situation, housing and daily routine of the diarists and their loved ones. In accordance with the competition proclamation, we asked about the changes that are important to diarists. The resulting survey material reflected this individual perspective and highlighted the variation in the evaluation of the policies implemented in 2020 and 2021, in the evaluation of the functioning of public institutions and in the evaluation of the support provided by the State to various professional and social groups. The subjectivity of the respondents is also evident in their assessment of the significance of the pandemic as an emergency. The diaries show whom the COVID-19-induced crisis affected, how it manifested itself, what costs it caused, and how the diarists dealt with it.The memoirs are available in Zenodo under a CC BY 4.0 license. In Social Data Repository, the metadata of the dataset has been made available.</p
Mental Mapping and Spatial Awareness among Urban Policymakers in CEE/FSU
No full textThe dataset comprises mental maps of five cities in CEE/FSU produced by a broad spectrum of urban policymakers, understood here as any actors who influence the formulation of urban policies. These actors fall into three categories:Public officials (both elected and appointed), including civil servants and urban planners employed by municipal administrations at managerial and subordinate levels;Business representatives - primarily real-estate developers, property owners, and employees of IT companies whose operations depend on urban space, and companies active in the leisure and tourism sectors;Urban reviewers - individuals who critically evaluate urban issues, such as analysts, researchers, journalists, and activists.However, these roles may overlap when someone has experience in multiple fields.Respondents’ sketches were collected during individual semi-structured, in-depth interviews (IDI) conducted with the aforementioned policymakers in five cities: Leipzig (Germany), Warsaw (Poland), Kyiv and Lviv (Ukraine), and Tallinn (Estonia). The material was gathered during field-research trips carried out between 2021 and 2024. Ukrainian interviews occurred in the summer and autumn of 2021, shortly before Russia’s full-scale invasion. Although the study focuses on so-called post-socialist cities, the dataset can be used for broader investigations of contemporary urbanization processes.During the interviews, respondents were asked to identify positive, neutral, and negative elements, places, and problems relevant to their city using three colors - green for positives, black for neutrals, and red for negatives. They produced freehand sketches in any technique they preferred - stand-alone cartographic renderings, perspective drawings, mind, or word maps. To minimize interviewer influence, no base maps (printed or digital) were provided; respondents generated their associative maps entirely from memory.</p
