The city wall relic park in Zhengzhou is a city park built on the Shang Dynasty city Wall site. As Zhengzhou is chosen as the eighth ancient capital of China, it is gradually recognized by the public. However, due to the lack of protection, development and utilization of the site, the historical value and cultural value of the Shang Dynasty Wall in Zhengzhou have not been fully shown. The construction of the city wall relic park is related to the soft inheritance and protection of the historical heritage. The spiritual inheritance of the historical heritage mainly depends on the spiritual transmission of the public. The public has the most direct feeling and understanding of it, so it is necessary to introduce public participation. In this paper, the scientific evaluation method Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is used to discuss the problem found by the public when using the city wall space. Suggestions and public participation strategies are given on the construction of the city wall relic park. We need to think about if there is public participation in the site now and how to let the public participate in planning, construction and management of the relic park. In order to make the city wall become the city’s leisure living room, to build the brand of Zhengzhou, and make it famous across the whole country, it’s urgent to put forward countermeasures for the development problem of Zhengzhou.

After any disaster that happens, whether natural or war, all governments and organizations accelerate to respond at all levels, humanitarian and others, to restore the damage. If this disaster is huge, it will result in a great change so that what comes after it does not resemble what it was before. In this study, it will be discussed how to respond effectively and how local and foreign authorities can cooperate to achieve the required response. Measuring the effectiveness of disaster response is not by the speed of this response, despite its importance, but the nature of intervention and its effects on the lives of people. It’s important to measure whether this intervention leads to the strengthening of urban aspects and increases the public participation and whether it gives stability to the city and population or not, and to what extent this intervention defines the future of this city in general.

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the public perception of the quality of service in the public transit system in Montreal using a combination of analyses and surveys. The results are used to make recommendations to improve the STM and its perception. General guidelines of SERVQUAL with some additional questions that are more specific to the current social environment of the city are presented. A survey was conducted by asking 250 international graduate Concordia students to rate a series of statements based on the importance of the issue and how much they agreed with the statement, the results were analyzed using three methods: SERVQUAL, SERVPERF, and IPA. The improvement of timetable synchronization between different metro lines and buses is crucial, as well as the education of STM employees in terms of dealing with different ethnicities, languages, and backgrounds are found. The chapter is a rare outside look at the STM and how users perceive the quality of the service, as opposed to the usual internal studies done by the organization itself.

Cultural heritage professionals are becoming increasingly concerned about the lack of care being taken by municipalities for their cultural heritage objects which include works of art in public places. They have therefore begun to ask the public to help take care of “their” cultural heritage through so-called public participation projects. Cultural heritage professionals tacitly assume that if they “teach” the public to treasure such objects of “their” heritage, the public will become more proactive in helping to conserve them. However, research being conducted by the authors is showing that a majority of the general public often has a completely different awareness and/or feeling about cultural heritage objects in their neighborhoods than the cultural heritage professionals think they have, or think they should have. Three recent case studies carried out by the authors show that these differences are most noticeable during so-called “value moments” at the beginning and at the perceived end of an object’s life. These are the two moments when decisions are made, usually by cultural heritage professionals, to place an object in a neighborhood or have it significantly changed or removed, often to the surprise and disagreement of the residents. Between these two moments lay many moments when an object is taken for granted, grudgingly accepted, or not even noticed. Given the fact that cultural heritage professionals often make the ultimate decisions and do not always consider or outright ignore public opinion, it should not be surprising that there is an increasingly negative public perception of what they do. The results of the case studies illustrate the need for professionals to consider and accept as valid, public feelings about cultural heritage objects in their neighborhoods.

Abstract In this article we outline how corpus-based studies can contribute to the methodology of linguistic landscape research. Linguistic-landscape research can be roughly understood as the “study of writing on display in the public sphere” (Coulmas 2009: 14). From a historical perspective, we investigate the emergence and use of the public sphere as a place of attention for official top-down communication in Luxembourg. Based on a large corpus of public announcements of the municipality of the city of Luxembourg, the history of public top-down communication is analysed by taking into account both sociolinguistic and linguistic factors. The analysis reveals that the public announcements are increasingly typographically and linguistically adapted to the conditions of public perception and self-reading in the course of time – whereby initially the multimodal embedding of the older presentation form is maintained.

This paper explores a current issue relating to the delivery of primary health care services for people who inject drugs. It tells the story of Living Room Primary Health Service in Melbourne?s Central Business District, and the problems experienced in trying to find a suitable space in which to operate. Despite adequate funds and a year-long search for a suitable property, the primary health service continues to work from an overcrowded space that presents many health and safety concerns for clients and workers. The issue is discussed from a symbolic interactionist perspective and draws on theories relating to stigma, deviance, and social control. The stigma experienced by people who inject drugs is described and the three forms of stigma described by Erving Goffman (1951) - physical abominations, blemishes of character and tribal stigma - are discussed and applied. Similar stigmas are described that also affect Living Room Primary Health Service, a service for the people who inject drugs. The related concept of ?passing? is also explored in relation to people who inject drugs and to the service designed to provide primary health care to them. Notions of deviance and social control are also discussed and are shown to be pertinent in understanding how people who inject drugs, and services for this group, are blacklisted in the city. This problem raises many issues regarding the public perception of drug use, stigma, social control and the delivery of health services to people who inject drugs. This paper discusses aspects of these important issues and argues that the service?s inability to secure a lease and suitable work space has more to do with the stigma and social control than money and real estate agents.

ABSTRACTQuantitative analyses of how the past and archaeological professionals are being depicted in, for example, exhibitions and popular books offer valuable—and sometimes confronting—insights about how presentation practices continue to reflect gender stereotypes. It turns out that very often archaeology and the archaeological past are still almost exclusively associated with males and masculine activities. This, of course, distorts the truth about what actually happened in past societies. It also raises the questions of whether or not such biases have an influence on public participation in archaeology and if they may hinder the sector's ambition to foster inclusivity. In this article, we will share some of the preliminary results of an ongoing systematic evaluation of presentation practice in Dutch archaeology and on the public perception of gender stereotypes in the past.

The knowledge deficit model with regard to the public has been severely criticized in the sociology of the public perception of science. However, when dealing with public decisions regarding scientific matters, political and scientific institutions insist on defending the deficit model. The idea that only certified experts, or those with vast experience, should have the right to participate in decisions can bring about problems for the future of democracies. Through a type of "topography of ideas", in which some concepts from the social studies of science are used in order to think about these problems, and through the case study of public participation in the elaboration of the proposal of discounts in the fees charged for rural water use in Brazil, we will try to point out an alternative to the deficit model. This alternative includes a "minimum comprehension" of the scientific matters involved in the decision on the part of the participants, using criteria judged by the public itself.
