This article investigates consequences of spatial contexts (neighbourhood and municipality levels) on interethnic contact from a native’s perspective using a German nation-wide dataset. Ethnic concentration is the strongest contextual predictor
for all kinds of interethnic contact. Physical contact opportunities in the immediate neighbourhood fos-ter interethnic contact in the neighbourhood only, while municipality size mostly diminishes inter-ethnic contact.
The article analyses the spatial pattern of occupational commuting in the nine regions. Only the commuters liable to pay social security contributions who cross a municipal boundary on their way to work but who remain within the region were included
in the survey. The starting point of the analysis is the muniipal system of the regions which is classified according to cental place categories. Corresponding to their central place statuts the municipalities are allocated to one of four municipal classes
. The commuter flows between the municipal classes are then analysed for each region and number of commuters is determined who commute upwards or downwords in the hierarchy of central places within a municipal class. Additionally the average commuting distances

Pouvoir municipal et évolution urbaine à Rennes (Bretagne), le pouvoir municipal centriste, élu en 1953, joue la carte de l'expansion à tout prix à partir de 1959, grâce à l'apport de capitaux extérieurs. Les opérations de rénovation urbaine
repoussent les immeubles sociaux en banlieue. Une autre politique était possible durant la même période comme le montre l'exemple de Grenoble. Des études systématiques permettraient de préciser les différences d'une ville à l'autre.

Social and spatial characteristics of voter turnout in Guatemala: the 1985 elections
Using maps and regression analysis, the AA. sort out the varying turnout rates in elections across the 330 municipalities of Guatemala. An unexpected finding is that turnout covaries with the share of the population that is indigenous
and is inversely related to the size of the municipality. Moreover, high rates of political violence do not dampen turnout. - (DWG)

New criteria and methodology for geographical delimitation and differentiation of environmentally damaged areas are proposed. This approach is based on ecological, social and health load assessment on the municipality area level by means of 27
proposed indicators. More than 1 200 municipalities areas are selected of the more than 6 000 ones existing in the country. - (MS)

On the basis of the first Local Self-Government Act (1993) and the Establishment of Municipalities and Municipal Boundaries Act (1994), 147 municipalities were created in 1994, till 2002 their number increased to 193. Most of the newly-founded
municipalities were small, including municipalities that did not meet the conditions stipulated by law. Consequently, there have been many discussions on the efficiency of such municipalities and the reasonableness of any further division of Slovenia. In 2005, 95
municipalities had less than 5 000 inhabitants, which is the legally prescribed thereshold for the establishment of a municipality. Therefore, all these municipalities were surveyed and an assessment of their impact on the development of rural areas in Slovenia
