The segregated nature of urban areas reflects an uneven exposure to risk and unsafety. This article analyzes the relevance of place to people’s feelings of unsafety by comparing questionnaire responses from people living in a segregated, disadvantaged neighbourhood to a random sample of people living in the same city. The results suggest that the central factors explaining the individual’s feelings of unsafety differ in this particular neighbourhood compared to the broader population. The article shows that place has a moderating effect on feelings of unsafety. Trust in public institutions is argued to be particularly important in segregated, disadvantaged neighbourhoods because of its potential to prevent feelings of unsafety.

The process of segregation is a complex problem affecting both developed and developing states; it is influenced by territorial, historical, demographic and economic impacts. To solve this growing problem, we must know how it is influenced by different factors. In this case, we are able to describe the appropriate strategy. This study examines the characteristics of poverty’s regional segregation in Baranya county, Hungary. It describes and analyses the regularities and correlations at NUTS 3 level and compares four segregated living spaces in different areas of the county. Our theory postulates that segregation has different bases and different attributions according to geographical localisation. Due to the different and well-chosen research areas, this study is able to highlight these aforementioned regional differences and characteristics. According to the results, we create a standardisation system to form the basis for future studies and strategies. After all of the study analyses, the local conditions are categorised based on the previously established standardisation system. The results of this study can help manage the problems of marginalised social groups and territorial segregation and also create a strategy to handle them.

This theoretical paper deals with the specific issues of education of minority children from socially disadvantaged environments. Its main focus is on the education of African American children, because they are a clearly different minority and often socially disadvantaged, similar to Roma children in Czech society. The aim of this paper is to summarise specific characteristics of these children in relation to their education and the ways they are dealt with in the U.S. context, and then find inspiration for the education of similarly disadvantaged children here. The paper stresses the reasons children from minorities tend to be less successful at school than their counterparts from white middle class families: their excessive segregation in special schooling and ‘poor schools’, the social construction of their failure, and their language education.

During the short history of its existence, even before the state of Israel was born, the Education system in the area known today as Israel has constantly faced the challenge of providing equal, or at least somewhat state-controlled curriculum, budgeting and education in general. During the major periods of government change, various religious, socioeconomic and political groups had tried to reshape the education system to match their needs, creating schools, programs and funding plans accordingly. However, despite the evolving legislation and awareness, the Israeli Education System is heavily segregated based on religion, origins, and other factors. Whole populations are exempted by choice, or by lack of lobbying, while the main system remains to bring equity to a highly heterogenic school system. This article will show the challenges, stratification changes and shifts the system has faced on the way to provide quality education to the children of Israeli state.

The paper takes into account the general characteristics of workplace organization, the organizational atmosphere relevant to gender and prejudices based on binary oppositions identified by women in leadership positions, which still limit their opportunities and choices. Career paths of women are at the focus of the study, especially in academia and science, including the difficulties faced by women when they move up in the organizational hierarchy, if they pursue career in science and if they aim for the leadership position

Laura McAtackneyArhuus UniversityDenmark The Many Forms and Meanings of (Peace) Walls in Contemporary Northern Ireland Abstract: Peace walls are a longstanding materialization of the conflict in Northern Ireland, known as the Troubles c.1968-c.1998. The walls have been one of the only security infrastructural forms associated with the violence to have continued and grown into the post-conflict context. They have often been a forgotten materialization of conflict due to their ‘temporary’ nature and their restriction to working-class, urban areas. While there are increasing moves to have these walls removed, or at least to put policies in place to allow them to be taken down in consultation with the communities beside them, there has been little consideration of the long-term impacts on public memory of material segregation. This article uses peace walls in Belfast as a case-study of the unforeseen repercussions of long-term segregation of divided communities. It offers a warning to the current generation of politicians regarding not only the role of what ideological walls are intended to do, but also the impacts they can have that were not intended. Keywords: Belfast, segregation, peace walls, memorials, gender, victimhood

The study deals with the theme of town outskirts as a space where the socially, economically and otherwise handicapped inhabitants cumulate, and it uses the town of Trnava as an example. The study also analyses the possibilities and ways to convert that space into a locality of a different quality. The first section introduces the Kopánka location that was perceived as an outskirts in the first half of the 20th century. There used to live people there who were handicapped due to the problems based on their extreme poverty, and a closed group of Bulgarians who worked as farmers. Another large group included people who moved in from mountainous regions of Orava where they lost their homes when the Orava dam was built. The study highlights the factors which allowed the particular groups to cooperate and create models that gradually changed the character of that town district. In the conclusion, the author describes and analyses the problems in such a type of space, she points out the life and its typical problems in a socially excluded location as well as the processes of adaptation, becoming closer to majority, dynamical changes within that location and its gradual integration into the life of majority as an equal partner.

In the Slovak practice, separated (segregated) education is rather common at primary schools as well as in preschool facilities. Despite the repeated warnings by the EU, the schools near Roma communities use such separation. They argue that this education supports an “individual approach” to Roma pupils because “Roma” classes are smaller, and an important argument is the pressure from non-Roma parents. According to schools, they prefer ethnically homogenous classes and they choose schools for their children based on this (they are not interested in schools with a higher proportion of Roma pupils). The paper states the opinions of parents of Roma and non-Roma children on separated education which were obtained in the interviews and focus groups in the study focused on analysis of inclusive education projects and programmes.

W słowackim systemie edukacji segregacja jest dość powszechnym zjawiskiem zarówno w szkołach podstawowych, jak i w przedszkolach. Mimo powtarzających się ostrzeżeń ze strony Unii Europejskiej, szkoły w pobliżu społeczności romskich wykorzystują taką separację. Dyrekcje twierdzą, że edukacja ta wspiera „indywidualne podejście” do uczniów romskich, ponieważ tzw. klasy romskie są mniejsze, a przy tym ważnym argumentem jest nacisk rodziców nieromskich, którzy preferują etnicznie jednorodne klasy i wybierają szkoły dla swoich dzieci (nie są zainteresowani szkołami o większej liczbie uczniów romskich). W artykule przedstawiono opinie rodziców dzieci romskich i nieromskich na temat segregowanej edukacji, które uzyskano w wywiadach i badaniach grup fokusowych poprzez analizę projektów i programów zintegrowanej edukacji.

The tracking of students in the schools is a topic that obligates social and educational reference. This is a fieldthat exposes gaps and contradictions regarding the possibilities and intentions of parts of Israeli society. It is difficultto definewho is being talked about. In addition, it is difficultto separate between or limit the reference to the single student as a real and feeling subject and the desire of the system for a child as a product of education. It is difficultto describe a general picture without forgetting the individuals in it, the students, when the relationship between the tracking, the dropping out, and the exclusion is unavoidable.This article is an attempt to examine the argument presented in research studies that the gaps between different groups in the population derive from the policy of tracking in education from the establishment of the State of Israel until today and that this policy is intentional. The way that the school as an organization acts and the topics with which it copes can be explained in social policy and in the sociological rationale that characterizes society in Israel.Which social and educational policy serves the tracking of students and why, despite the data and the numbers that indicate a large gap, is the topic of tracking not present in the educational discussion? I seek to assert that research in the field is insufficient and thait is necessary to place the topic on the agenda and conduct an educational discussion.

Comparing two essays written by Du Bois at a great interval of time, “The Tenth Talented” (1903) and “The Hundredth Talented” or the “Guiding Hundredth” (1948), the author of this article intends to deal with Du Bois’s endeavor to cohere culturally and politically an answerable and duty-bound black leadership, and to acknowledge the different accents laid by the author of The Souls of Black Folk on culture and on politics. An accomplished essayist and journalist, a foremost militant for the cause of black emancipation, Du Bois strove to persuade both white and the black audience about the role of high culture, an idea which perfectly matched the towering ideals of Victorian culture, but ran counter to the rapid urbanization of America, and later on, to the times of the Great Depression. The utopian solving chosen by Du Bois in “The Hundredth Talented” mirrors the conflict between the political convictions of a great mind and American reality, as well as the winding course of intellectual ideas which brought black emancipation into life, only in the midst of the last century.

Autorka tego eseju poszukuje relacji między fragmentacją, segregacją i rekonstrukcją porządku w mieście. Aczkolwiek metafory zwartości są na ogół stosowane w odniesieniu do przeszłości, a fragmentacji do teraźniejszości, to sfragmentaryzowne miasto współistnieje dzisiaj z innym obrazem miasta – nostalgicznym miastem przedstawianym jako żywe ciało. Trudno byłoby ujmować to doświadczenie przy pomocy prostego przeciwstawienia prawdziwego doświadczenia fałszywemu; różnica tkwi bowiem w samej idei „dobrego życia” wprowadzonej przez Arystotelesa. Analizując pojęcie somatografii wprowadzone przez Edwarda Soję, uzasadnia się, dlaczego w wieku technologii informatycznych, mobilności i kultury konsumpcyjnej takie metafory miasta jak podzielone, martwe ciało oraz żyjące ciało stają się ważniejsze niż kiedykolwiek. Akty różnicowania, separacji i segregacji są ufundowane bowiem zarówno na miejskiej somatofobii, jak miejskiej somatofilii. Pytanie postawione w tym eseju dotyczy zatem sposobu rekonstrukcji miejskiego porządku w pierwszym sensie oraz rewitalizacji przestrzeni miejskiej – w drugim.

In this essay the author explores the relation between fragmentation, segregation, and reconstitution of urban order. Although metaphors of cohesiveness are usually applied to the past, and fragmentations to the present, nevertheless the city of fragmentations coexists recently with another image of the city – a nostalgic city of lived body. It will be hard to speak in simple notions of true and false experience here; the difference is in the very idea of Aristotelian “the good life”. Dealing with Edward Soja’s concept of somatography she will argue that in an age of informational technologies, mobility, and consumer culture, such old metaphors like city as a fragmented dead body and city as a lived body are more important than ever. Acts of differentiation, separation, and segregations are based both on urban somatophobia and urban somatophilia. The question to be asked here is what is reconstitution of urban order in the first sense, or revitalisation of city space in the second.

Nierówności w dostępie do edukacji cały czas jest zjawiskiem powszechnym. Szanse na zdobycie dobrego wykształcenia wyznacza głównie pochodzenie społeczne. System edukacyjny jest powszechny, jednolity i w związku z tym nie powinno dochodzić do różnicowania szans jednostek czy grup społecznych. Mimo to segregacja jest dużym problemem w szkole i ma duży wpływ na wyniki kształcenia. Sprzyja temu polityka rekrutacyjna a także system oceny jakości pracy szkoły.

Inequalities in access to education all the time is a common phenomenon. The chances of getting a good education is determined mainly social background. The educational system is universal, uniform, and therefore there should be no differentiation opportunities for individuals or groups. Despite this segregation is a big problem in school and has a large impact on learning outcomes. This is facilitated by the recruitment policy and the system of quality assessment of school.

This article focuses on the Swedish reforms of upper secondary schools and their effects during the period of 1991–2017. The reforms were conducted in the spirit of New Public Management (NPM) and generated many more problems than solutions. The purpose of this article is to prepare a foundation for further research by mapping: What do we know about the NPM reforms within the Swedish upper secondary schools? What kind of knowledge is still missing and should it be developed? With the assistance of Roland Almqvist’s (2006) understanding for the NPM movement divided into three theoretical perspectives (marketization, contract management, and decentralization), we propose a literature study. This study showed that the Swedish reforms of the upper secondary schools contributed to growing social segregation among students, students’ decreasing performance in science, reading and mathematics that proved to be under the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) average, and teachers experienced a lack of autonomy and de-professionalization. The political promises about “school for all” and “social inclusion” either were not fulfilled or the reform effects were not investigated well enough. Despite all research being done, we do not know what kind of Swedish upper secondary school represents a good practice for the future.

This paper humbly attempts to explore Descartes’ conception of generosity as an ideal character virtue which can address the problems of the global world like struggle, intolerance and segregation; and thereby creates healthy routes for universal dialogue. The first part attempts to clarify Descartes’ conception of the foundations of generosity. The second part narrates Descartes’ views on generosity as passions and as a virtue. The third part explores the possibility of generosity as a virtue of the individual as well as social character. It also proposes to take the practice of generosity as a mechanism of developing cooperation, tolerance, and, consequently, universal dialogue and harmony.

Celem głównym artykułu jest prezentacja, analiza i ocena zjawiska segregacji zawodowej na polskim rynku pracy w latach 2004–2014. Przyjęto hipotezę badawczą o tym, że struktura zatrudnienia na polskim rynku pracy w badanym okresie cechowała się występowaniem poziomej i pionowej segregacji zawodowej kobiet i mężczyzn. Ponadto, występowanie tych zjawisk miało charakter długoterminowy i stosunkowo stabilny. Struktura artykułu jest następująca. W pierwszej kolejności przedstawiono ideę i rozwój teorii segregacji zawodowej (w ujęciu poziomym i pionowym). Następnie dokonano analizy i oceny polskiego rynku pracy ze wskazaniem na przejawy występowania poziomej segregacji zawodowej w oparciu o dane statystyczne dotyczące poziomu i struktury pracujących według płci i sekcji PKD. Zbadano również i oceniono poziom i strukturę zatrudnienia według płci i grup zawodowych w aspekcie występowania zjawiska pionowej segregacji zawodowej. W dalszej części rozważania rozszerzono o wyniki badań opinii społecznej oraz zaprezentowano wnioski.

W artykule przenalizowano poziom i źródła segregacji ze względu na płeć przy wyborze kierunków studiów w Polsce. W celu wyjaśnienia różnic w wyborach kierunków kształcenia, jakie występują pomiędzy kobietami a mężczyznami, odwołano się do teorii socjalizacji i teorii racjonalnego wyboru. Wyniki otrzymane na podstawie danych pochodzących z badania Społeczne i ekonomiczne uwarunkowania wyborów osób w wieku 19–30 lat dotyczących studiowania wskazują, że kobiety częściej niż mężczyźni wybierają kierunki kształcenia w zakresie zdrowia i opieki społecznej oraz nauk humanistycznych i sztuki; mężczyźni natomiast dominują na kierunkach technicznych – w zakresie technologii teleinformacyjnych, techniki, przemysłu i budownictwa. Wyniki oszacowań wielomianowego modelu logitowego pokazały, że zgodnie z przesłankami teoretycznymi na wybór kierunku studiów ze względu na poziom segregacji wpływają poziom i kierunek wykształcenia rodziców oraz dotychczasowe wyniki edukacyjne.

The paper examines the level and the sources of gender segregation in the choice of the field of study in higher education in Poland. To explain the differences in men’s and women’s choices of higher education fields of study, the analysis uses socialisation and rational choice theories. The results obtained with data from the survey Social and economic determinants of higher education choices among people aged 19–30 show that women are more likely than men to choose education, health and welfare, as well as the arts and humanities; men in turn dominate in technical fields – particularly in information and communication technologies, engineering, manufacturing and construction. The results obtained from the estimation of the multinomial logit model reveal that in line with the theoretical predictions, the choice of the field of study with respect to segregation level is determined both by the level and the field of parents’ education, as well as individual education achievements.
