ABSTRACT The fashion industry is heavily dependent on constant revitalization of the design of its products. Fashion products are on the one hand based on local cultural values and on the other hand a global business. Due to the need for new designs, the fashion industry is often associated with urban location and urban buzz. The geography of the industry is, however, more complex. Fashion firms are also located in less-urban areas competing on the same parameters as urban located firms, namely design. Based on a survey of 51 Danish firms in the fashion industry and 9 interviews with representatives of firms in the fashion industry, this paper explores the importance of use of external non-local resources in the design process in the fashion industry and further to what extent the importance of these resources differs between urban and less-urban located firms in Danish fashion industry.

ABSTRACT Agriculture is one sector under pressure when it comes to mitigation of climate change. To overcome the economic barriers preventing greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation measures from being implemented, this paper explores whether crowdfunding could be a feasible solution to this problem. The paper theoretically and empirically explores sociocultural barriers and enablers for crowdfunding aimed at agricultural GHG mitigation measures in Norway. The empirical analysis is based on focus-group interviews with farmers as potential fund-seekers and citizens as potential backers. The data are analysed in light of certain cultural characteristics previously identified as typical for Norway. Our findings indicate that, while these cultural characteristics manifest themselves in a crowdfunding context, they are not all-embracing. Our analysis points to opportunities for successful crowdfunding for GHG mitigation measures in agriculture given the right premises and including the right motivated people.

ABSTRACT Forest loss and fragmentation are critical issues that confront urban landscapes. The urban forests in the hills of the Guwahati Metropolitan Area (GMA) in India have experienced significant transformations. This study assesses the temporal changes of forests in protected and non-protected hills of the GMA. Landsat imageries between 1976 and 2018 were used to understand changes in forest composition and fragmentation using landscape metrics namely, percentage of landscape, number of patches, mean patch size, patch density and largest patch index. The results revealed that the forests of GMA were experiencing intense losses and fragmentation due to increasing non-forest anthropogenic developments. The dense and moderately dense forests declined by 44 and 43%, respectively, as non-forest area increased by 1475 ha between 1976 and 2018. Dense forest demonstrated increasing fragmentation due to the rising number of small patches from 568 to 780. Today, dense forest patches are limited to only three of the eight reserved forests within GMA. The non-protected hills reported a significant 1309% increase of non-forest landuse. Thus, both protected and non-protected forests sustained substantial losses and fragmentation. The analysis could enable policymakers to prioritize urban forest conservation efforts in the GMA.

ABSTRACT Traditional rice agroecosystems face socioeconomic, political, technical and environmental challenges that are resulting in changes in the traditional land use and management system and its contributions to indigenous farmers. This study explored the contributions made by swidden and wet rice agroecosystems in a traditional rice cultivation landscape and how this landscape has been influenced by recent changes in land use and management. Data were gathered from two villages in the Upper Baram, Malaysia, using semi-structured interviews with 43 farmers, and examined by qualitative content analysis. Farmers perceived different benefits from the rice agroecosystems over and above rice, such as non-rice food supply, habitat creation and support of their identity. The wet rice agroecosystem benefits farmers through higher rice yields, while the swidden rice agroecosystem provides a greater diversity of material contributions. Recent trends in land use and management towards the wet rice agroecosystem and plantations, driven by farmer preferences, land use policies and socioeconomic factors, are challenging the contributions available to farmers from the traditional rice cultivation landscape. Actors involved in decision-making in the traditional rice cultivation landscape should therefore consider the impact of land use and management changes on the diversity of contributions provided by rice agroecosystems.

ABSTRACT The recovery of cities has led to increased wealth while simultaneously amplifying the socioeconomic spatial divide and polarization within the resurgent city. Recently, renewed interest in the socioeconomic consequences of the city’s growth has focused on residential differences in terms of e.g. income and education. In this paper, we examine how the recovery of cities has influenced the internal divide in the socioeconomic structures of demography, education, and employment. Utilizing Danish register data for all residents in Copenhagen during the period from 1992 to 2017, we describe the development of the resurgent city in relation to two sets of processes, academification (formal academic education) and workification (employment rate), with a focus on young adults, and compare with the suburban municipalities bordering Copenhagen. We show that Copenhagen, like other major European and American resurgent cities, has seen a decrease in the mean age of its residents and an increase in young adults who have completed an academic education and found employment in the city. Moreover, we find that the relationship between residence and workplace location has become more divided according to educational background, further emphasizing the socioeconomic inequalities within the city.

ABSTRACT Today, temporary urban activities are conceived as a strategic planning tool for both private investors and urban governments. This study discuss the potential of such urban activities to serve as incubation space for small-scale urban-based entrepreneurship. The analysis indicates that short-term arrangements and low establishment costs appeal to small-scale entrepreneurs who want to try out a business idea without major initial investment risks. Also, the study shows that a focused effort to establish a solid network structure to tap into, as well as informal network relations between the individual entrepreneurs, are prerequisites if temporary urban activities are to facilitate sustainable businesses. Thus, the study finds that temporary urban activities can serve as incubator spaces if the right supporting structures are in place.

ABSTRACT The objective of the study is to understand the pattern of land surface temperature (LST) and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) developed in Ranchi city during Covid-19-induced lockdown (2020) and its comparison with previous years. The study incorporated Landsat 8 (Operational land imager) data from United States Geological Survey and air temperature and relative humidity data from power.larc.nasa.gov for the years 2017, 2019 and 2020. The results exposed a drastic change in the LST and NDVI pattern of the city. The mean LST of the city during April has declined from 39.80°C in 2017 to 32.38°C in 2020. Similarly, the mean LST of May also declined from 38.41°C in 2017 to 34.84°C in 2020. On the contrary, the city experienced an ascending growth of NDVI from 0.24 to 0.26 in April and May 2017 to 0.349 and 0.37 in 2020, respectively. Additionally, the city portrays declining air temperature with enhanced relative humidity. Ranchi city also exhibited relatively maximum area under ecologically excellent category in the year 2020 and reduced area under ecologically the worst category based on urban thermal field variance index. Thus, reduced temperature with augmented humidity and NDVI developed a healthy urban environment.
摘要:本研究旨在了解兰契市在2019冠状病毒病疫情封锁期间(2020年)地表温度(LST)和归一化植被指数(NDVI)的变化规律，并与往年进行比较。该研究结合了美国地质调查局(United States Geological Survey)的Landsat 8 (Operational land成像仪)数据，以及power.larc.nasa.gov网站2017年、2019年和2020年的气温和相对湿度数据。结果表明，城市的LST和NDVI格局发生了剧烈变化。该市4月平均地表温度从2017年的39.80℃下降到2020年的32.38℃。同样，5月平均地表温度也从2017年的38.41°C下降到2020年的34.84°C。相反，2017年4月和5月的NDVI分别为0.24 ~ 0.26，到2020年分别为0.349和0.37，呈上升趋势。此外，这座城市的空气温度下降，相对湿度增加。基于城市热场方差指数，兰契市在2020年生态优类面积相对最大，生态劣类面积相对减少。因此，降低温度，增加湿度和NDVI，形成健康的城市环境。

ABSTRACT After eliminating absolute poverty in 2020, China is shifting its focus from poverty eradication to achieving common prosperity, and relative poverty is currently a research focus.This paperuses interdisciplinary analysis methods to measure households’ livelihood sources and relative poverty in the karst mountains and explore the impact of livelihood sources on relative poverty. The results show that relative poverty in the Huajiang demonstration area is mainly manifested by a lack of material conditions influenced by natural conditions. The status of household labour, production conditions, social networks and natural conditions affect households’ livelihood sources. Increasing household livelihood sources can significantly alleviate their relative poverty status. The increase in household livelihood sources , agricultural modernization and breeding specialization can all significantly reduce household poverty level, whereas increased subsidy income may reduce the incentive for households to develop themselves. The study’s findings provide an important scientific basis for improving the livelihood resilience of households in the karst mountains and help consolidate and expand poverty alleviation.

ABSTRACT The 2008/2009 global economic recession and the Covid-19 pandemic fuelled a heap of social and economic problems, including growing youth unemployment and inactivity. Amidst this pressing conjuncture, female youngsters living in economically deprived regions have been affected the most. The paper in hand studies the changing analogies between young women that are “Not in Employment, Education or Training” (the so-called NEETs) and young men of the same status, between 2008 and 2020, across the regions of four EU South countries. By employing a mixed-methods approach, namely analysing quantitative indices and semi-structured interviews, we put the gender divisions and the geographically uneven distribution of NEETs under thorough scrutiny. Furthermore, by adopting a spatially-sensitive perspective, the paper elucidates key underlying factors behind NEETs’ persistence in some of the EU’s least-prosperous regions. Along with several structural and institutional factors, peripherality, regional specialization and gender divisions are indicated as crucial, though commonly neglected, dimensions of contemporary youth disengagement.
