How can “gender planning” contribute to tackle the challenges of demographic change?
No full textAgeing society, lack of skilled workforce, changes in work life careers and changes in partner and family models, a shift in societal roles of women and men, young and old, migration flows from rural to urban, multiple residences and new forms of housing and the related spatial impacts are in focus of demographic change. It is obvious that demographic change is not to be managed without gender and equality issues. Spatial planning has a crucial role in facing these challenges as spatial planning laws demand to ensure equal access to housing, services and labour markets and to organize transparent and inclusive decision making procedures. The paper explores key concepts, methods and selected case studies from Europe on gender planning trying to focus on the potential for innovating planning discipline and tackling with demographic change issues in rural areas. Cases from Bavaria and Austria compared to rural regions in Eastern Germany with high female emigration show concrete planning approaches

Rethinking Planning and Spatial Assessment from a Care Perspective
Get PDFThe implementation of the New Urban Agenda in most cases focuses on one of the UN Strategic Development Goals (SDG2030), for example either on 5) Gender Equality or 11) Sustainable Cities & Communities. Nonetheless, a considerable body of knowledge exists [see references] that brings together gender and sustainability, and explains how strategies to achieve Gender Equality and Urban resilience can enhance each other. The empirical studies underlaying these insights demonstrate that implementation requires a radical transformation of planning processes and methodologies towards collaborative planning cultures and residents’ involvement. While direct dialogue needs to have a structural place in planning, in practice, it is difficult to include residents in all steps of the planning process, particularly preparing structural development plans on a larger scale. Moreover, there are parts of planning processes that can, and should, be done by professionals, such as preparatory analyses and making synergies of local data and conditions.
In this contribution, we argue that this needs to be done with an understanding of gender-inequalities because gender-blindness will lead to reproducing gender stereotypes, and re-inforce the existing inequalities in its wake. However, gender competences are often not part of planning and urbanism curricula, and few planners have the necessary knowledge and skills to transfer knowledge from genderstudies into planning decisions. In this paper we argue for an approach that puts ‚care‘ in the heart of planning and studies its implications at different scale-levels. Our approach is based on the Austrian pilot project “Smart through Gender+” and builds on two decades of research and exchange amongst European Gender Planning Experts
Smart Through Gender+: Kernthemen für eine inklusive Stadtplanung am Beispiel Linz (Austria)
Get PDFDamit Stadtregionen funktionsfähig, nutzerinnen- und nutzerfreundlich und alltagstauglich für die vielfältigen Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner und temporäre Bevölkerung bleiben, müssen die Ziele der neue Urbane Agenda (Basiert auf die SDG2030) in konkrete Planung übersetzt werden. Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts Smart through Gender+ wird am Beispiel der Stadt Linz ein replizierbares Tool-Set an Analyse- und Planungsinstrumenten entwickelt, welches die vielvältigen und unterschiedlichen Bedürfnisse und Nutzungsansprüche an Alltagsinfra¬strukturen, Straßenfreiräume und Grünräume möglichst genau erfasst. Für die Operationalisierung wurden aktuelle Handbücher von Pionierstädten zu gleichstellungsorientierter, „gegenderter“ Planung (Berlin, Barcelona, Paris und Wien) gesichtet und fünf Kernthemen für eine Gender+-Planung definiert. Diese erweitern das ursprünglich feministische Planungsleitbild „Stadt der kurzen Wege“ mit drei Perspektiven: Umfassende Barrierefreiheit und (digitale) Vernetzung sowie stadt–regionale Verflech¬tungen. Damit wurde eine Standortbestimmung durchgeführt im Rahmen von Gleich¬stellungs- Normen und Werthaltungen und Planungszielen. Im nächsten Schritt wurden die Kernthemen mit übergeordneten Planungs¬leitbildern und Planungsstrategien aus dem Planungs-Mainstream und den fach¬spezifischen Programmen der Stadt Linz verbunden. Vielversprechend ist die Umlegung der Kernthemen und Leitbilder auf die stadträumliche und sozial-räumliche Erfassung und Beschreibung der Alltagswege von lokal orientierten Gender+-Gruppen mit charakteristischen Raumnutzungsprofilen. Derzeit arbeitet das Projektteam an der Operationalisierung dieses Planunskonzepts in der Stadt Linz und zwar in drei Maßstabsebenen: Stadtregion, Stadtteil (Bezirk) undTeilgebiet (Baublock, Park oder Straßenfreiraum). Letztlich reflektieren wir die Frage, inwieweit Planerinnen und Planer durch „Gender+ Stadtplanungsinterventionen“ zu einer Transformation der ungleichen Geschlechterrrollen beitragen können, oder als Rollenstereotypisierung eher am Fortbestand der Macht- und Geschlechterverhältnisse mitwirkt
Gender mainstreaming planning cultures: Why ‘engendering planning’ needs critical feminist theory
No full textThis contribution looks at strategies for gender mainstreaming (GM) in planning practice applying gender/diversity design criteria. It offers a critical discussion of the ‘city of proximity’ (CoP) as a guiding principle for genderaware planning. Examples of guidelines and handbooks from different planning cultures show that the CoP is a widely adopted model, not only in gender mainstreaming, however it is seldom associated with its feminist origin. As planning professionals and researchers, we consider the role of urban and regional planning to change power relations and gendered norms. Taking two Austrian cities as examples, we illustrate the impact of GM on planning practice, revealing both the strength of the legislative framework and the limitations of Leitbilder that unintentionally reproduce gender stereotypes. The paper concludes with suggestions to move beyond the stage of pilot projects and handbooks, particularly in two fields: first, by looking at the attitudes and competences of professionals, and second, by dissociating the city of proximity from neighbourhoods while implementing gender criteria at a larger scale, e.g. in regional development plans
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
