Using citizen science to explore neighbourhood influences on ageing well: pilot project
No full textPublished: 1 November 2019Outdoor and indoor environments impact older people’s mobility, independence, quality of life, and ability to “age in place”. Considerable evidence suggests that not only the amount, but also the quality, of public green spaces in the living environment is important. The quality of public
green spaces is mostly measured through expert assessments by planners, designers and developers.
A disadvantage of this expert-determined approach is that it often does not consider the appraisals or perceptions of residents. Daily experience, often over long periods of time, means older residents have acquired insider knowledge of their neighbourhood, and thus, may be more qualified to assess these spaces, including measuring what makes a valued or quality public green space. The aim of this Australian pilot study on public green spaces for ageing well was to test an innovative citizen
science approach to data collection using smart phones. “Senior” citizen scientists trialed the smart phone audit tool over a three-month period, recording and auditing public green spaces in their neighbourhoods. Data collected included geocoded location data, photographs, and qualitative
comments along with survey data. While citizen science research is already well established in the natural sciences, it remains underutilised in the social sciences. This paper focuses on the use of citizen science with older participants highlighting the potential for this methodology in the fields of environmental gerontology, urban planning and landscape architecture.Helen Barrie, Veronica Soebarto, Jarrod Lange, Fidelma Mc Corry-Breen and Lauren Walke

De tafel als metafoor voor architectuur
No full textThis book is the result of an exercise at the Faculty of Architecture of Delft Technical University, The Netherlands, The task was set by the Staff of the department for Study of elementary form and composition. The theme of this exercise was 'the Table as ametaphor for architecture' which was one of the tasks in the study project entitted 'Image and materialisation'. The students developed and presented their ideas in models scale 1 to 5, In the article 'the table as an architectural object' by Jack Breen, tabledesign is reviewed in relation to the architectural design tradition. In the article 'the table of ten : aselection', Bernard OIsthoorn offers a critical analysis of the students' designs and focusses on ten selected projects, In the categories 'Modern Classics', Dynamism and a A-symmetry', 'Sculpture and Construction' and 'Devise and Building Kit' a thematic impression of the students' designs is given.Staf VormstudieArchitectur
Australian Immigration Policy in Practice: a case study of skill recognition and qualification transferability amongst Irish 457 visa holders
No full textImmigration quotas in Australia are guided primarily by economic policy—the needs of the nation are quite rightly the principal concern of policymakers. Using data from a mixed-methods study, this article engages in a dialogue between labour geography and population and migration studies through an examination of the lived experiences of migrating workers and their families. The paper examines a number of cases where policy and practice have detrimentally affected the migration experience of Irish migrants who came to Australia under the Temporary Work (Skilled) (subclass 457) visa. The case study focuses on interviews with secondary 457 visa applicants, namely the wives of former 457 workers. These interviews highlight the problems faced by newcomers to Australia who arrive under this visa. The experiences relayed by these women demonstrate how ill-considered policy relating to qualification transferability makes entering the workplace and, therefore, transition to life in Australia more difficult than it needs to be. While the cases that underpin this paper ended in migration failure (the families involved returned to Ireland), the core issues of qualification transferability and skill comparison were replicated in the wider study dataset (of 1022 survey responses and 80 qualitative interviews). While acknowledging that citizens generally have more freedom and more civil rights than non-citizens, the findings of this study indicate that further review of Australia’s 457 visa is needed, particularly with respect to the limitations placed on the agency of migrant workers. Greater awareness amongst prospective migrants as to the purpose and limits of the 457 visa is also necessary, in order to avoid misinterpretation and the extreme personal repercussions outlined in this paper.Fidelma Bree
