Abstract Quezon City and the City of Baguio enacted anti-discrimination ordinances to protect lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT+) persons. The 2014 Quezon City Gender-Fair Ordinance (QCGFO) and the 2017 Anti-Discrimination Ordinance of the City of Baguio (ADOCB) criminalized discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or expression. With similar societal contexts, these two cities legislated two different anti-discrimination ordinances. Using comparative discourse analysis, this case study compares their formulation and framing. Data were gathered and evaluated through library research, documents analysis, and key informant interviews. With contextualization and process-tracing, this article also describes discursive policy frames that were utilized in formulating these ordinances. The QCGFO protects the local LGBT+ community, while the ADOCB considers multiple social sectors. These policies may provide potential opportunities to integrate intersectionality in anti-discrimination policy-making. In all, this study offers exploratory insights on policy framing strategies for anti-discriminatory policies in two contextually similar Philippine localities.

Socialist cities were assigned a vital role in the countries of the Eastern Bloc. Their establishment was primarily due to accelerated industrialisation designed to enhance the economic and political strength of the communist system worldwide. In addition, they were also to function as communist melting pots, providing inspiring spaces for the emergence of the archetype of the new socialist man and its model community. It is not surprising that socialist cities were fundamentally shaken by the change of the political system in the 1990s, which challenged their relation to industrialisation and the industrial heritage. Through the case study of two socialist cities in Hungary, Ózd and Dunaújváros (the latter formerly called Sztálinváros, Stalin-City), the paper aims to present the wavering evaluation of the industrial heritage over the three decades following the regime change and showcase how its various values became finally accommodated in the transformation of the cities. In Ózd, the monument protection and high-level reconstruction of the buildings of the former ironworks’ reading society and managers’ casino, as well as the innovative reuse of workshops like the Digital Power Plant and the National Film History Theme Park provide excellent examples of industrial heritage-based urban development. In Dunaújváros, the recent monument protection of the outstanding buildings of socialist realism and the newly-elaborated tourist route presenting their values facilitate understanding the past and improve the attractivity of the city. Methodologically, this paper will focus on comparative analysis instead of plain description in order to expose the multiple developments which were leading to the appreciation and utilisation of industrial heritage promoting sustainability in these two cities.

The purpose of this study is to determine the extent to which MNC Trijaya FM as a networked radio in the city of Bandung is able to represent the values of local identity of a region. This research uses a descriptive qualitative methodological approach, and a theoretical approach to Critical Discourse Analysis (AWK) from Norman Fairclough. The data of this study are fragments of the Ngadu Bako MNC Trijaya FM program discourse and key informant in-depth interviews. Based on the research, the following results are obtained: first, the efforts made by MNC Trijaya FM are not interpreted as an ideology that the characteristics of local identity are a culture that must be raised, not imaged as a weak culture. Second, the analysis of the practice of discourse focuses on how the discourse is produced and consumed. The production of this discourse is closely related to the ideology of the management of Trijaya FM MNC, talkshow resource persons, and actions to be achieved. As a networked radio, MNC Trijaya FM has not been able to fully represent local identity through the Ngadu Bako program. Third, the discourse produced is influenced by the textual dimension, the practice of discourse, and sociocultural practices.

AbstractBorder issues continue to be of interest in tourism literature, most significantly that which focusses on cross-border shopping (e.g., currency values, taxation, security). Borders as destinations are recognized in this area but the notion of shopping as a destination is perhaps less acknowledged. Following a review of the relevant literature, including the presentation of a table summarizing key areas of cross-border tourism research around the world, this paper presents a unique example of a border region with two-way traffic for cross-border shopping tourism: the border between Germany and Switzerland. The particular case is where two cities meet at the border: Konstanz, Germany and Kreuzlingen, Switzerland. An intercept survey and key informant interviews were conducted in both communities in the spring of 2015. The results indicate high levels of traffic for various products and services. And while residents are generally satisfied with cross-border shopping in their communities, there are emerging issues related to volume and, in particular, too many in Konstanz and not enough in Kreuzlingen. The paper concludes with a discussion that includes the development of a model cross-border shopping tourism that recognizes the multiple layers in space and destination. The paper concludes with a proposal to further investigate the particular issues related to the volume on both sides of borders where cross-border shopping is the destination.

The recent flow of Roma immigrants to Western Europe has caused a lot of societal and political discussion. Initiatives and policy measures are introduced at the European and national or local level in order to deal with this situation. This article explores to what extent experiences and self-perceptions of Roma immigrants in Western Europe correspond with the constructed discourse in terms of “Roma inclusion”. In policy practices, there seems to be a tension between a willingness to strengthen the particular identity of Roma on the one hand (“targeting”), and a desire to fit those people into mainstream society on the other hand (“mainstreaming”). Based on a case study in the city of Ghent (Belgium) with a small sample of in-depth interviews, the authors explore what an insider perspective may add to the construction of policy. Conclusions relate to the experienced gap with mainstream society, the identification with and definition of the “Roma” concept as well as intergenerational differences. Finally, the argument is taken a step further, and it is wondered how an insider perspective may also question policy. By relating policy conceptualisations of Roma to (self) identification processes, suggestions are made to redefine the meaning of inclusion.

This study is not only covers the historical aspects, but also analyzes the socio-cultural characteristics and seeks to find the factors which affect the perceptual geometry of houses. Hence the question is that how the perceptual geometry is in the houses in Tabriz and which factors cause differences in the perceptual geometry of houses. 30 houses built during Qajar era in Tabriz are investigated and analyzed as case studies. Then, they are categorized according to their similarities and differences. Given the nature of subject, the present study is based on logical reasoning and adopts an interpretive-historical methodology with an approach to content analysis. So in this study, the information is collected through library research and field investigations. A lot of valuable historical houses have survived in Tabriz, because the crown prince lived there in the Qajar dynasty and on the other hand, the city enjoyed economic prosperity due to the Silk Road. Differences are found based on the interpretation and analysis of perceptual geometry of Qajar houses in Tabriz and it is eventually concluded that perceptual geometry of the houses is not the same, so the discussions about Qajar houses in Tabriz should not be generalized to the same category.

As destination of choice for many short-term study abroad programs, Berlin offers students of German language, culture and history a number of sites richly layered with significance. The complexities of these sites and the competing narratives that surround them are difficult for students to grasp in a condensed period of time. Using approaches from the spatial humanities, this article offers a case study for enhancing student learning through the creation of digital maps and itineraries in a campus-based course for subsequent use during a three-week program in Berlin. In particular, the concept of deep mapping is discussed as a means of augmenting understanding of the city and its history from a narrative across time to a narrative across the physical space of the city. As itineraries, these course-based projects were replicated on site. In moving from the digital environment to the urban landscape, this article concludes by noting meanings uncovered and narratives formed as we moved through the physical space of the city.
