Spatial Logics

In this article, we analyse the formation of local communities from the perspective of the practices of parental involvement. Adopting a practice-based approach to empirical research on six estates in three Polish cities, we reconstruct the connections between the spatial logics of the housing areas, national education, and housing polices, and their impact on the everyday life practices inside and outside the estate. Using the category of practice of parental involvement, we show the complex, long-term impact of state and local education policies on everyday life and, as a result, on the processes of structuring or fragmentation of territorial communities. The results of our qualitative studies not only develop knowledge about the connections between national polices and everyday life practices but also, we hope, could help to design effective public policies.

Early Childhood Learning

This research aims to find out parental involvement or parental involvement in early childhood learning activities during the Covid 19 pandemic. Early childhood is still in desperate need of mentoring during the learning process from home and therefore the role of parents becomes very important because it has a long-term impact on the child's development. Respondents were 102 parents who had children aged 4-6 years in Pekanbaru City. This research uses survey methods with a quantitative descriptive approach. Overall, the results of parental involvement study consisted of three indicators, namely parental motivation, parents' perception of the invitation of others to engage in the child's education, as well as what parents felt in general was high. This means parents have a good motivation to accompany the child to learn by understanding their important role and having confidence in accompanying the child's learning activities.

Abstract In his article ``Was bewirkt die Volkswirtschaftslehre?“ Bruno S. Frey has argued that economics and their ideas are not very influential in politics and society. While Frey is mainly focusing his analysis on the short-term impact of economic ideas such as economists in politics and in political advising, this commentary does, however, claim that ideas also have a long-term impact since they form worldviews, perceptions and agenda settings. An analysis must thus take into account how ideas are penetrating everyday life in politics, science, bureaucracy and society.

The U.S

Despite the fact that railroads are an important part of the U.S. economy, the number of rail carriers and miles of rail lines have been declining. The resulting lack of transportation alternatives could have a negative impact on local manufacturing. This study examined the effects of rail abandonment in Arkansas between 1980 and 2000 by comparing measures related to manufacturing in counties that did not have or had lost some rail service with those in counties that had rail service and had not lost any. The analysis revealed no meaningful differences, suggesting the lack of any adverse economic impacts due to rail abandonment. The findings provide important insights for federal, state, and local policymakers and economic development officials; and for railroad economic development, government affairs, and strategic planning management.

Long Term Impact

The introduction of Crime Prevention Through Environmental design (CPTED) initiatives such as alley-gating is now widespread across the United Kingdom (UK), and has become part of the urban landscape. For practitioners and policy makers alike, erecting steel gates at entrances to alleys is seen as a major initiative for reducing domestic burglary. In particular, in the current climate of economic austerity, such apparently cost-effective measures may seem more attractive to policy makers and planners alike as they struggle to maintain public confidence in the criminal justice system and reduce levels of criminality. This paper examines one such alley-gate initiative at Cadoc, Barry, South Wales, based on 10 years of data collection, and considers the long-term impact upon recorded domestic burglary. It also probes local community perceptions of the gates in tackling the problem of crime.

Abstract. Background: There has been no systematic work on the short- or long-term impact of the installation of crisis phones on suicides from bridges. The present study addresses this issue. Method: Data refer to 219 suicides from 1954 through 2013 on the Skyway Bridge in St. Petersburg, Florida. Six crisis phones with signs were installed in July 1999. Results: In the first decade after installation, the phones were used by 27 suicidal persons and credited with preventing 26 or 2.6 suicides a year. However, the net suicide count increased from 48 in the 13 years before installation of phones to 106 the following 13 years or by 4.5 additional suicides/year (t =3.512, p < .001). Conclusion: Although the phones prevented some suicides, there was a net increase after installation. The findings are interpreted with reference to suggestion/contagion effects including the emergence of a controversial bridge suicide blog.
