Recovery through contradiction?
Get PDFWith this new drug strategy, the circle has turned. It was a Conservative government
that introduced the first drug strategy, Tackling Drugs Together, in 1995. This aimed
to reduce drug related crime, protect young people and reduce health harms by
discouraging drug use. It was criticised at the time for having unrealistic, intangible
aims and for not providing the necessary funding. New Labour’s strategies introduced
increasingly specific targets and massively expanded the funding of treatment. This
new Coalition strategy has no targets and provides no new funding
REPAiR: REsource Management in Peri-urban AReas: Going Beyond Urban Metabolism: D8.2 Communication Handbook
No full textCommunication Handbook aims to define common principles of internalcommunication throughout project lifetime ( 48 months). I t i s assumed to be a living document and can be updated as required throughout the project.REPAiR assumes the following types of communication to take place in the course of project: internal and external. Internal communication is anticipated to occur atorganizational, WP team and consortium levels. Such communication will be conducted with the means of standardized communication tools in form of definedcommunication channels. The second type of communication comprises externalcommunication with target groups of end users by implementing assumed means of dissemination. Both internal and external communication are expected to engage direct and indirect means of communication.Version 3 This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 688920.Environmental Technology and Desig
REPAiR: REsource Management in Peri-urban AReas: Going Beyond Urban Metabolism: D3.2 Socio-cultural/socio-economic and company-related investigations for pilot cases
No full textTask 3.3 of the REPAiR project is dealing with the linkages between socio-cultural and socio-moral features and social sensitiveness and awareness about general environmental issues, and particularly about waste and resource management. The basic assumption is that the different agents’ understandings and behaviors related to ecological sustainability and more specific natural environmental aspects are deeply embedded into certain, collectively accepted, respected and followed social values, norms, rules, conventions, customs and attitudes. Accordingly, these social patterns influence the agents’ way of thinking (perceptions and interpretations, i.e. concepts) and way of doing things (i.e. praxes) about environmental challenges. It is important to note that ‘agent’ in this research refers to both involved stakeholders (decision-makers, experts, experience-holders, etc.) and any member of the general population, therefore, the aforementioned hypothesis is assumed to be true regarding to expert and lay knowledge-holders as well.To analyse this fundamental question and presumption, the research is focusing on four different tasks. Firstly, there is a theoretical phase that, based on certain value-concepts, aims to provide an explanatory framework for the general assumption. Secondly, Task 3.3 is dealing with a multi-phased comprehensive secondary socio-cultural analysis (SSCA) to investigate empirically the proposed theoretical linkages. Thirdly, the research provides a primer empirical analysis (PSCA) about the perceptions of different stakeholders on the relevancy of various factors and social, cultural and moral features for waste and resource management. Finally, a socio-economic analysis (SEA) aims to map out crucial aspects about each case study areas. Task 3.3 has a multilevel scope: the secondary socio-cultural inquiries are focusing on national level specificities, while the primer socio-cultural stage of the research and the socio-economic investigation is done on local (focus area) level.Final Version This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 688920.Environmental Technology and Desig
