Shebeens as spaces and places of informality, enterprise, drinking and sociability
  • Shebeens as spaces and places of informality, enterprise, drinking and sociability
  • This paper explores the complex role of drinking in Sweet Home Farm (an informal settlement) through an examination of its contextual setting and its spatial characteristics, notably on the positioning of shebeens within an unregulated space
  • . Through a series of case studies it is possible to reflect upon the role and impact of shebeens on people living in Sweet Home Farm, both in terms of providing space for socialisation and in supporting diverse cultures of drinking and business forms
Undertaking recreational trespass : urban exploration and infiltration
  • This article analyses recreational trespass through urban exploration and infiltration in London. It explains that urban explorers are one of many groups reacting to increased surveillance and control over urban space, playfully probing boundaries
  • and weaknesses in urban security in a search for bizarre, beautiful and unregulated areas where they can build personal relationships to places. The results both complement and complicate recent work within geography around issues of surveillance, subversion

  • The gradual relocation of industry and other related activities out of the core areas of cities often results in voids in the urban structure—spaces that are ‘left over’. These places—in transition between their past and future functions
  • as blank areas on city planning maps with a status of awaiting some future use: thus the space is considered to be empty. As a case study, the temporary in-between status of a disused and abandoned fishing harbour in Tallinn, Estonia, is documented

Urban design and dilemmas of space
  • Urban design and dilemmas of space
  • Architecture ; Concept ; Modernism ; Social space ; Space ; Town ; Urban area ; Urban sociology
  • The A. aims to find an understanding of the concept of space which could be used in urban design, but which could also be shared by others with an interest in space. He argues that to arrive at a common platform in which a meaningful communication
  • can become possible, there is a need to confront the fragmentation by moving towards a more unified concept of space. He also argues for a concept of space which refers to physical space with its social and psychological dimensions.

Exploring the Relationship between Design Approach and Play Value of Outdoor Play Spaces
  • Exploring the Relationship between Design Approach and Play Value of Outdoor Play Spaces

  • The paper reports research that explores the relationship between approaches to the design of outdoor play spaces and the play value of these spaces. It starts by explaining that there is an assumption that an outdoor space in the Kit, Fence, Carpet
  • (KFC) style provides fewer opportunities for play than spaces designed in a more natural way. To test this hypothesis an evaluation tool is developed that draws upon a range of academic literature. This tool was tested on 10 sites in the East Midlands
  • in England. The results indicate that there is a continuum between KFC and more natural spaces with a mid-category of ‘composite’ spaces.#This paper reports research that explores the relationship between approaches to the ‘design’ of outdoor play spaces

A discussion of terms for the description of the space-time of relief
  • A discussion of terms for the description of the space-time of relief
  • Concept ; Geomorphological mapping ; Geomorphology ; Methodology ; Relief ; Space time
  • The spatial-temporal structure of relief in space and time can be described in terms based on three initial concepts: spatial organisation, hierarchical succession, and morphological succession. The indivisible space-time of relief is defined
  • by five dimensional coordinates: time, three coordinates of Euclidean space, coordinate expressing the group of characteristics, that is the level of organisation achieved. Because of the indivisible nature of space-time geomorphology needs to rediscover

  • Cape Town ; Neighbourhood ; Post-apartheid ; Public space ; Security ; Segregation ; South Africa ; Town ; Urban area ; Western Cape
  • This paper argues that in central Cape Town different public spaces exist parallel to each other, continuing the long history of dysfunctional public spaces in South Africa. Privately policed public spaces are distinctly different from regular
  • , not privately governed spaces, they have become more public than they were before. Through time different public spaces developed their own cultures, norms and values. This continues, with the non-white poor congregating in regular open spaces and a white class
  • in a parallel set of open spaces.
