1209 | 481 | What triggers residents’ negative perspective on a public space redesign? The socio-psychological embeddedness of conflicts. | Anke Klaever und Katharina Götting

Public space redesign projects contribute to the transport transition. Often, these redesign projects reallocate public space from motorized to active transport and leisure activities. Whereas some residents accept and enjoy the changes, others react with skepticism and rejection. Different interests, needs and values clash concerning the reallocation. The reactions to reallocation are often emotional and rooted in an affective automotive culture. Thus, experiencing reallocation of public space causes conflicts on the local level._x000D_
To better understand the motives behind critical opinions and resulting conflicts, we propose a socio-psychological embeddedness framework for conflict dimensions of public space redesign projects. Using a redesign of a public square in Berlin, we systematically analysed the conflicts and their embeddedness. Interviewees were recruited in the neighbourhood surrounding the square. The sample includes critical residents who shared their perceptions in in-depth interviews. Using deductive-inductive qualitative content analysis based on Gläser und Laudel (2009), 25 in-depth interviews were conducted and evaluated._x000D_
We classified three conflict dimensions, namely procedural, distributional and identity conflicts. Procedural conflicts emerged with emotions of frustration and anger. Interests on how the process should be designed did not vary much. In contrast, distributional conflicts evolved from different interests of how the space should be used. Within the distributional conflicts we further identified the values of conservation, self-enhancement, openness to change and self-transcendence. Identity conflicts came along different interests and values between actor groups as well as within individuals themselves. According to an agonistic understanding of democracy, these findings point to ways in which the occurring conflicts around redesign projects can be integrated and steered into a productive way of transforming public space. _x000D_

1202 | 465 | The places of Millenarism in Abrahamic religions. Roots, development, topicality. | Paolo Benedetti


The main topic of the presente dissertation is Millenarism, considering both its roots and the interpretations the three Abrahamitic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam have given to it. Throug an historical analysis of the development of millenarism, we seek to identify the geographical places of its expansion and the relationship between earthly world and heavenly world. A particulary focus is given to the city of Jerusalem, which in millenarian exegesis represents the place of fulfillment of human history and is the threshold between earth and heaven, the gateway to the heavenly Jerusalem._x000D_
The return of millenarism in the postmodern era also requires an analysis of the transformations in the social, economic and ecological fields that favor the interpretation of the world in an apocalyptic key._x000D_

1202 | 617 | Predictive Apocalyptic Future Scenarios of the Environmental Ecological Crisis: Towards Mitigating Territorial Approaches | Giuliana Quattrone

After the catastrophic predictions of the Club of Rome, the environmental question has emerged in all its evidence, linked to which there is also the realisation that if the trend of usurping environmental resources is not reversed, many traces of the past will risk disappearing. The environmental issue approached by the various international documents (up to Agenda 2030) warns us to change course and operate in the sense of ‘ecological conversion’; in this framework, man must operate a reconciliation with himself and the environment in which he lives in a relationship of respect and protection of the territory. In fact, the entire territory, for the history that has formed it, for its landscape and cultural values, for the collective memory that animates it, for its very recognisability, is to be considered in the first instance an environmental asset to be protected. In this sense, the reclamation of contaminated sites, the integrated management of waste, and the protection of ecosystems are just some of the important issues that Italy must approach with focused policies, not only to ensure an adequate level of quality of life, but also to guarantee legality and safety, even before economic development, and at the same time to express the ability to design a compatible future._x000D_
Starting from these considerations, the paper retraces the main stages of the environmental issue, focusing on situations where the presence of fragile territories requires an urgent rethinking of planning and land management practices. In these territories, it is essential to reflect on the transformations of the man/territory relationship, which in many cases has resulted in irreversible environmental damage and the consequent disappearance of resources, envisaging possible scenarios planning approaches and sustainable solutions.

1202 | 766 | Apocalyptic prophecies and places of faith. | Gianfranco Battisti

Apart from the notable differences between them, all religions maintain that the material universe had a beginning and will have an end. So much so that powerful brains like Alfred Newton have made an effort to calculate the date of the final event. In the 1800s, the more realistic assessments of the antiquity of the celestial bodies and the growing confidence in scientific discoveries will push this awareness back. Cosmological theories thus tend to postulate a stable and eternal universe, a conception that will be overcome with the modern theory of the Big Bang. If the beginning is a well-established fact, then the end is easily deducible, e.g. based on the second law of thermodynamics. These are very long-term processes, but it is important to note that even in this case science is converging towards some assumptions of a religious nature. _x000D_
In the Catholic sphere attention is kept alive by the mystics, men and women who claim to converse with the saints, the blessed, the divinity and bear witness to this in their writings. Although never validated by the competent ecclesiastical authority, these messages sound like moral appeals to humanity and often evoke the advent of catastrophic times. Think of Fatima (1917). These are phenomena of a spiritual, social and physical nature. The latter have some similarities with what is predicted by today’s catastrophic ecologism, with respect to which they differ not only in the modalities, but above all in the motivation, which is identified within a spiritual economy rather than contemporary scientific speculation. _x000D_
For the scholar of the territory this assumes great importance, because very often in these cases « Marian sanctuaries » are born, generally on the private initiative of lay groups – « sanctuaries » in all respects, despite the traditional reluctance of religious authorities to get officially involved.

1202 | | Millenarism, past and present | Christian Sellar (1); Gianfranco Battisti (2)

In the history of literature, religion, and philosophy, apocalyptic texts have always been present, so much so that they constitute a genre in their own right, albeit a niche one. In Western culture, the origin of such genre, also called ‘messianism’ is firmly rooted in the Judeo-Christian religious tradition, which links the end of the world to the coming of the Messiah.
 
The belief in Christ’s return (Parousia), expected as imminent at the beginning of Christianity, led in medieval times to the aspiration for an eschatological transformation of the cosmos, ‘millenarism,’ which was spread by religious movements (such as the one led by Joachim of Fiore). Today such an instance characterizes various religious groups (Adventists, Jehovah’s Witnesses), and is also present beyond Christianity, in Islamic messianism.
 
Since the onset of modernity and Enlightenment, the progressive secularization of society seemed to cast aside the theme of the end, preceded by an era of social disorder and abandonment of faith. However, already in the mid-1800s, Karl Marx recovered a secular form of messianism in a political key by predicting the collapse of an unsustainable society and the birth of a new human condition. Even before Marx, the biologist Cuvier proposed a specific kind of apocalyptic notion – catastrophism – as an explanation for the repeated disappearance of many living species. Albeit eclipsed by Darwin’s success, catastrophism re-emerged in the 20th and early 21st Century era on two levels: political-economic with the world wars, and naturalistic with the ecological-environmental crisis.
 
The re-emergence of catastrophism has revitalized apocalyptic and millenarian narratives in the religious, military, political, social, cultural, and ecological spheres. Finally, the Covid19 pandemic has accelerated plans for a global reset of the economy, which is also rooted in apocalyptic fears.
 
This session invites contributions concerning the reinterpretation of modern and postmodern phenomena and discourses concerning the apocalyptic « signs » present in all religious texts, through the rereading of millenarisms of a materialistic nature in the light of the philosophical-religious matrix, and of the latter regarding phenomena that recall the « signs » of apocalyptic prophecies. The exploration of the links between modernity, postmodernity, and apocalyptic religious views opens up new areas of inquiry for the geographer interested in how such discourses and events are embedded in territorial transformations at multiple scales. These include, but are not limited to, the elaboration of scenarios for the future. The session includes coordinated presentations, to be delivered in English

1153 | 134 | Urban geographical patterns of the relationship between mobile communication, social networks and economic development in Hungary | Tamás Egedy

Nowadays the engines of national economies are urban economies whose development is increasingly determined by creative economy, digital solutions, and innovation. In the development of cities (especially of smart cities), digital information and communication technologies have a decisive role. The basic question of the presentation to be answered is to what extent do digitalization and smart solutions contribute to increasing the competitiveness of Hungarian cities and what geographical patterns can be drawn up? Using these big data sets, we will explore the geographical characteristics and the territorial patterns of digitalization, including cell phone usage, and explore the characteristics of mobile usage flow. In so doing, we determine digital nodes (key mobility patterns and flows) based on mobile cell information and we explore the spatial and social characteristics of mobile phone usage. We will attempt to highlight the city network nodes and will provide a ranking list for cities. Using geocoded inbound and outbound call records we outline the connectedness of geographical units. Using the large scale telecommunication data we will define the innovation and knowledge transfer network position of Hungarian towns based on their centrality/periphery. In addition, the database will allow us to explore the demographic and technological conditions of mobile usage, whereby we will draw the social and territorial characteristics of mobile usage of the X, Y and Z generations.

1153 | 517 | The potential of the creative sector and its relation to the cities’ resilience to the COVID-19 pandemic | Sylwia Dudek-Mańkowska PhD, Mirosław Grochowski PhD, Maciej Misztal MSc, Karolina Sitnik MSc

Creative cities appeared to be more resilient to economic crises in the late 2000s thanks to the ability of the creative class to adapt to unexpected and unforeseen situations and shocks. However, the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic had a unique character. This pandemic was unprecedented in its scale and impact. In order to assess whether creative cities turned out to be more resistant to the effects of the pandemic and whether they emerged victorious from this confrontation, the condition of the creative class and the creative sector as well as the economic condition of the city before 2020 should be identified and compared with the economic condition of the city after the pandemic. The study covered Polish cities with the greatest creative potential. This potential turned out to be crucial for many cities to survive the pandemic. However, the policy of public support offered by the central government and city governments as well as the functions performed by these cities also played a role. _x000D_

1153 | 694 | The drunkard’s intention lies not on the wine: Reinterpreting culture-led urban redevelopment in China amidst profound regime changes | Ronghao JIANG; George C.S. Lin

Competing interpretations of the global proliferation of culture-led urban redevelopments have been made by some who pinpoint the economic and social value of cultural resources in the cities and others who see culture presence as catalyst for facilitating land revalorization. Attention is drawn primarily to the presumed relationship between the promotion of cultural activities and urban change. A systematic analysis of the data for the China’s 324 municipalities has identified an intriguing pattern contrary to normal expectation. The extent of culture-led urban redevelopment has little to do with land commodification, market openness, level of urban economic growth, or concentration of creative human capital but is closely related to the pressure of central regulatory control over local urban expansion. Municipal governments with less quota for newly added urban land are found to be more motivated to leverage on the rhetoric of developing a culture economy through the regeneration of old industrial land in the name of culture-led redevelopment for the hidden agenda of lucrative commercial developments. The extent of culture-led urban redevelopment tends to be higher in the cities where greater local administrative supports are made available for culture-led redevelopment projects to circumvent central regulations on the redevelopment of administratively allocated industrial land. Our study of the city of Guangzhou at a finer scale has shown that the bulk of culture-led redevelopment projects are masked superficially in the name of culture to serve the real interest in profitable commercial activities. These research findings challenge the popular perception of culture-led urban redevelopment as a reasonable and legitimate strategy of place making/promotion and bring to the fore regulatory changes in the state-economy-politics arena as an important source of insights into the sophisticated dynamics of urban transformation not just in China but beyond China as well.

1152 | 936 | Different types of movement in context of sustainable development | Peter Simonyi

Mobility became a growing and important factor of today. Different types of mobility have different effects to society, economy and environment. The global problems, originated after the II. World War, are grown-up to the UN level in 70’s. The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) are in implementation since 2016. Role of mobility processes cannot be neglect3ed._x000D_
Migration, circulation causes positive and negative consequences to many fields in effected countries. These could be explored in demography, employment structure, national budget, many areas of economy, consumption, culture, etc. We can find many relations between mobility types and sustainable development, its implementation. Relations can found not only point of causes but of consequences also. E.g. migration is a very important movement between undeveloped an developed countries. One of reasons is climate change that his homeland becomes uninhabitable or income cannot be enough to live. The outward country loose part of his manpower and inward country get it. However these migrants have other culture, behaviour. If we take into focus SDGs we could find that many aspects are contrary to some of them. Circulation, especially if it is very frequent, does not match the principle of sustainable development. _x000D_
To explore many of such relationships could be not only task for geography but could be useful for policy makers. _x000D_

1152 | 968 | citizen participation as a means of governance in the urban public transportation system. case city of encarnación – paraguay. | « -Fátima Centurión Irigoitia; -Dolores Sánchez-Aguilera; -Ever Lezcano González; « 

The problem of public transport in the city of Encarnación dates back several years, despite constant attempts to improve the service, currently there is no progress in this regard. The constant complaints from the users refer to the infrequency, lateness and poor condition of the buses. Due to the problems that the public transport system of the city currently has, citizen participation becomes totally necessary and of great importance as a means of governance aimed at improving the public transport system of the city. For all of the above, this research focused on analyzing the importance of citizen participation as a means of governance for the quality of the public transport service in the city of Encarnación, as well as specific objectives: Define the concept of citizen participation from the public management perspective; Describe the operation and organizational composition of the public transport system of the city of Encarnación; Identify the mechanisms and spaces for citizen participation in the public transport system of the city of Encarnación. Regarding the methodology used, it was a mixed or qualitative-quantitative investigation. For this, the survey was used, based on a non-probabilistic sample of 100 public transport users, as well as the interview, already with 2 public transport businessmen in the city of Encarnación, being a non-probabilistic sample for convenience. The result of this investigation was that citizen participation is a means of direct involvement aimed at generating quality public services, since it involves and commits the population in planning, decision-making, cost control and prevention of the corruption.
