Seeing Streetscapes as Social Infrastructure: A Paradigmatic Case Study of Hornsbergs Strand, Stockholm
In: Urban Planning, Band 7, Heft 4, S. 510-522
Urban streets are an integral part of the public realm. Streets are commonly planned following normative design principles focused on the connectivity of road networks and urban morphology. Beyond their function as mobility infrastructure, streetscapes' aesthetic, social, and cultural qualities also have an important impact on the experience of the overall urban environment and human well-being. This study explores how urban design and planning can facilitate the design, management, and use of streetscapes that consider their role as social infrastructure. A paradigmatic case study of Hornsbergs Strand in the City of Stockholm is performed, incorporating spatial and temporal aspects. The case study area is chosen because it is both an attractive and "overcrowded" public space frequently discussed in the Swedish media. Data sources for the study include reviews of public documents such as Stockholm's city planning strategies, local media reports, a report from a resident workgroup, as well as walk-through observations and semi-structured expert interviews. The results highlight the potential of urban design strategies to develop streetscapes as social infrastructure through both permanent design measures and temporary design interventions. The tendency of the change in people's perception and attitude toward the place over time illustrates that design interventions are a continual process. The implications for public policy, urban development and investment in social infrastructure employing place strategies and design interventions are discussed.

The grey zone of Chinese capital: online gambling in Cambodia's Sihanoukville
In: Contemporary Southeast Asia
ISSN: 1793-284X
Between 2016 and 2019, the online gambling industry in Cambodia grew from obscurity to become the largest in Southeast Asia, capturing news headlines worldwide. Focusing primarily on the adverse impacts of this phenomenon, especially surging crime rates and discontent among local Cambodians, these reports often failed to provide a meaningful understanding of the complex factors and actors behind the industry. With little systematic scholarly research on the topic, this article seeks to fill the gap. Utilizing data from fieldwork in Cambodia and China, it examines the drivers of Chinese investment in Cambodia's gambling industry, from its openness to foreign capital and weak governance to crackdowns in other gambling hubs like the Philippines and Macau. It further offers an ethnographic discussion of Chinese online gambling operations in Cambodia and their impacts on both Cambodian and Chinese societies. Additionally, it considers the implications of the Cambodian government's crackdown on online gambling in 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic on China-Cambodia relations. (Contemp Southeast Asia/GIGA)

Zwei Exilgedichte mit einer China-Komponente von Bertolt Brecht
In: Interkulturelles Forum der deutsch-chinesischen Kommunikation
ISSN: 2747-7495
Zusammenfassung
Im Exil griff Brecht nach anfänglicher Hoffnung auf eine baldige Rückkehr nach Deutschland gewissermaßen zum Trostgedicht, um seine Identität schreibend zu bewahren und das Exil geistig zu bewältigen. Auf diese Weise entstanden Brechts Exilgedichte Die Auswanderung der Dichter und Besuch bei den verbannten Dichtern. In beiden Gedichten lassen sich ein Anachronismus und eine China-Komponente ausmachen. Wird der Anachronismus als eine von Brecht entwickelte Form gegen das Exil betrachtet, so hat die China-Komponente in jedem Gedicht ihre Bewandtnis.
Vom Zeichen der Bewunderung zum Symbol der Position – Brecht mit der Legende von der Entstehung des Daodejing
In: Interkulturelles Forum der deutsch-chinesischen Kommunikation, Band 3, Heft 1, S. 96-111
ISSN: 2747-7495
Zusammenfassung
Brecht hatte sich schon früh mit dem altchinesischen Denker Laotse beschäftigt und war begeistert. Sein bislang noch wenig behandelter Zeitungstext Die höflichen Chinesen erzählt die Legende von der Entstehung des Daodejing nach und ist das erste prosaische Zeichen der Bewunderung: Brecht plädierte implizit für ein Leben nach Laotses Lehre. Dreizehn Jahre später hatte Brecht die Legende von der Entstehung des Daodejing wieder aufgenommen, um sie in das Gedicht Die Legende von der Entstehung des Buches Taoteking auf dem Weg des Laotse in die Emigration umzugestalten. Das Exil veränderte Brechts Selbstbewusstsein. Brecht aktualisierte seine Beziehung zu Laotse, indem er sein Selbstbildnis in Laotses Schicksal auftauchen ließ. Auf diese Weise der Aktualisierung wird Die Legende von der Entstehung des Buches Taoteking auf dem Weg des Laotse in die Emigration politisch.
Developing a mixed-methods digital Multiple Sorting Task procedure using Zoom and Miro
In: Methodological innovations, Band 16, Heft 2, S. 250-262
ISSN: 2059-7991
In the Multiple Sorting Task (MST) participants sort entities into their self-defined categories. The descriptions they provide of their categories provide qualitative data. Multi-dimensional scaling of sorting generates quantitative results. Relating the qualitative descriptions to the quantitative output creates integrated mixed methods. As part of the study of conceptions of public space an online MST was developed using Zoom and Miro, supported by Email and Smartphone where necessary. Twenty adult participants performed the MST with 20 pictures of public spaces in Stockholm. Results demonstrate the viability of the novel digital MST. The MST's benefits, challenges, and applications in its digital form as an integrated mixed-methods are presented.
