No full textThe ‘Jane Jacobs Walk’ organization as one of the Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) heritage initiative supported three Jane Jacobs Walks of certified Fred Sanders in the period 2011 - 2014 in Amsterdam neighbour-hoods. These walks helped residents to explore resident-empowered meeting-places and activities in their own housing environment for the benefit of community living-quality for themselves and others all spirited by Jane Jacobs her thoughts. These walks can methodological be seen as a form action-research by which the participating residents analyze their own data of experiences and insights. From the threeJane Jacob Walks organized (added to the results of my dissertation as the ‘body of knowledge’) (Sanders, 2014) the conclusions are: 1. Residents favor nearby and lifestyle coupled meeting-places, 2. Beside the by the municipality organized meeting-places there are many so called ‘free’ meeting-places available, 3. Less of all these meeting-places suite youngsters, foreign people and unemployed people, and 4. Resi-dents are willing to organize meeting-place even to manage subsidizing still a financial support from the municipality is essential. The effect of the ‘talking by walking’ could be optimized by involving more youngsters. ‘Jane Jacobs Walks’ as example of action-research could methodological be optimized by test-ing the results in a pilot neighbourhood.Environmental Technology and Desig
Representation of an “Angel in the House” and “Fallen Woman” in Elizabeth Gaskell’ s Ruth
No full textSince a woman in Victorian England was expected to be a manager of household, there was a stereotype of Victorian woman called the “angel in the house”. There was also another stereotype of Victorian woman called “fallen woman”. As literature represents life, woman’s roles and stereotypes in Victorian are also reflected in Elizabeth Gaskell’s Ruth. The objectives of this study are to describe the representation of angel in the house and fallen woman in this novel and to describe social perspective and how the fallen character struggle to face and overcome the social construction surrounding her. The study employs library research and sociological approach to analyze Victorian woman’s roles and the stereotypes. It analyzes the character, conflict and setting that brings the study to the analysis of Victorian woman’s roles in this novel. From the analysis, it can be concluded that there are woman’s roles performed by female characters in this novel that is “angel in the house” and “fallen woman”. Ruth, as the main character, performs both images. She performs “angel in the house” when she becomes a governess. Beside that, she falls into fallen woman because of her naivete and her innocence. However, as fallen woman, she succeeds to struggle to get her position in society and becomes an honorable woman even though she has to die in the end of the novel
