Rester en Ville
Research Assistant
We propose an international comparative approach enabling similiar questioning of neighborhoods affected by changes whose the causes are, possibly, comparable (globalization, metropolisation, transformation of national and local governments), but also the consequences in terms of social effects and take on change. The relations between resilience and resistance in these four central European urban neighborhoods will be studied on the basis of the practices of residents and users, which we consider to be less of the traditional logic of the "springboard district" than of the existence of spheres of life. belonging and uses that go well beyond the neighborhood, and can be described as "socio-spheres", and be grasped through the notion of "scenes". The analysis will be based on interviews about the life course of individuals and families living in the neighborhood at the time of the survey, and particularly those who struggle to maintain themselves by developing residential strategies (according to family, friends, professionals), as well as to individuals and families whose presence in the public space and their attachment to the territory (manifested by their activities and practices of certain places) express and anchor their desire to have a free appeal. The goal of "staying in town" is therefore the backbone of cross-examination of 4 central districts of major European cities: Paris, Brussels Lisbon and Vienna. These interviews, 240 in number (60 per site), will be supplemented by site-based, system-based observations to the extent that they offer resistance / resilience catches. The "systems of places" thus drawn up are combined with "linkage systems" making it possible to describe the hospitality of the reception area, its amenities, and the possibility for some poor households to remain in the city center, despite, and possibly due to, metropolisation.

Estudo sobre os Impactos do Voluntariado da SCML
Researcher
Project goals were to analyze: 1) the regulatory framework of Volunteerism in SCML (assumptions, principles, objectives, expectations; 2) the degree of implementation of the principles and objectives underlying the implementation of the Voluntary Service in SCML (strengths and weaknesses, difficulties and obstacles, articulation with other internal services, 'good practices', innovation factors; 3.) the organizational and procedural models adopted (factors of effectiveness and efficiency, degree of satisfaction; 4) the results and actual Impacts of the Volunteer Service in the different areas of SCML intervention (results, degrees of satisfaction, confrontation with initial expectations; 5) to produce Strategic Recommendations. Methodology was based on a quantitative approach, which will make it possible to characterize motivations, satisfaction levels, constraints, expectations, perception of results and impacts, etc., of the various stakeholders within the scope of the project (Beneficiaries, Volunteers and the Services of SCML itself). Also, there was an approach of a qualitative nature, by means of which the knowledge relating to each of the dimensions of analysis is comprehensively explored. In this case, in addition to the framework of the Beneficiaries, Volunteers and Services of the SCML, a phase is also proposed to collect information with the beneficiaries' families.
