In this paper the author focuses on the various ways people from an outlying area of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, understand the concepts of heritage, memory and place. Facing a radical transformation of their neighborhood conducted by the city government, they discuss the destiny of an old movie theater that is threatened with demolition. Some of them understand it as a heritage site to be protected and preserved because it supposedly expresses the memory of the neighborhood. Others affirm that the best way to deal with the problem is to demolish the old building and construct a new public square. The point made by the author is that we are facing two quite distinct ways of understanding the concept of heritage: one of them is based on an abstract and legal perspective; the other based on the everyday life experience of local residents.

Nowadays, with globalization sweeping across cities, more and more cities tend to develop in the same way, while the sense of existence of local identity becomes weaker. It is often the preferred choice of the city government to construct distinctive characteristics with the help of urban design. Historical blocks have their own unique cultural connotations. How to make them retain their own traditional context in the rapid urban renewal and maintain vitality with the development of the city is an urgent problem to be solved in urban design. In this paper, the research objects are two historical blocks in Harbin which is a representative historical city located on the Northeast China. One of objects is the Central Street of Harbin, which attracts countless foreign visitors every year as a popular tourist area. The other object is the Chinese Baroque Historical Block, which is deserted after renovation and planning. On the basis of urban design, this paper makes a comparative analysis of two historical blocks from the perspective of social humanities, and puts forward the humanistic technology of urban design. Humanistic technology are divided into two technical routes: human and culture. The study of human includes the living needs of local residents, the behavioural feelings of foreign users, the control and management of government development and the distribution of interests of investors. The study of culture includes the combing of the history and culture of the block, the embodiment of space culture and the promotion of value culture. This paper attempts to build a universal theory framework. Humanistic technology will be used as research foundation for urban design in the renovation and conservation planning of cultural heritage.

The article deals with the unofficial names of the streets of Kharkiv. Until 1804 in Kharkiv, all street names were unofficial. Many streets had two or three names. These names were known only to local residents. From the colloquial speech of the townspeople, the city government chose one name, and that name became the official name. Informal names of urban sites best convey the opinion of citizens about their city. In historical toponymy, informal names can be an argument in discussions about how to measure the area of ​​a city. In local lore literature data on the area of ​​the same city sometimes differ significantly. The process of the unofficial name of urban objects has been and remains spontaneous. Informal names are influenced by the interaction of languages, the emergence or disappearance of a certain concept, the natural or unnatural loss of the meaning of a city object, the archaization of names, the literary and artistic activity. One of the objectives of the article is to determine the cause of the appearance of groups of informal names of urban objects and to determine the peculiarities of informal names in the city. The factors affecting the process of the emergence of informal names are listed. The analysis of urbonyms and the processes of creating an informal nomination is combined with the study of the linguistic specifics of the names of streets and other objects of a large city. The author of the article talks about the future directions for the study of unofficial names in the city. Scientists studying urbonyms should take into account the informal names of city objects, colloquial forms of names, features of youth slang, the influence of slang on the formation of urbonyms and of urban identity.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the rationale and functioning of the partnership-based brokerage model as a vehicle of service integration with special reference to its support for information intermediation, learning and service market creation. Design/methodology/approach The theoretical framework is built on the tension between New Public Management (NPM) and post-NPM thinking, which frames the analysis of the brokerage model for elderly care services in the city of Tampere, Finland. The empirical data are derived from interviews, evaluation reports and existing case descriptions. Findings In the Kotitori model, the broker enhances the capacity building of the city government and the cost-effectiveness of its service provision, provides added value through improved information processes and handles matters relating to subcontracting and the facilitation of the service provider network. The model as a whole reflects the hybridisation of public administration. Even if Kotitori contains many NPM-inspired elements, they are complemented by features derived from New Public Governance and the neo-Weberian local state. The most neglected aspect of post-NPM thinking in the design of Kotitori is citizen centredness. Originality/value This paper broadens the perspective on the role of brokers in public service provision and highlights the multi-dimensionality of the brokerage function. It also shows how such partnership-based brokerage model reflects various aspects of both NPM and post-NPM paradigm.

Apresenta-se uma análise sobre a forma como uma comunidade on-line enseja uma série de narrativas emocionais ao descrever situações de maus-tratos dos gatos que vivem numa praça pública do subúrbio carioca. Como tais maus-tratos são vistos sob a ótica da violência, por analogia os gatos são tratados como vítimas, o que permite a constituição de um discurso e de uma ação de cunho moral e político, porém também expressos a partir de um discurso emocional fortemente ancorado na compaixão, que é parte da própria dinâmica da comunidade. O objetivo deste artigo é colocar em foco as emoções narradas e experimentadas pelos membros da comunidade analisada.Palavras-chave: Emoções. Compaixão.

As such abuse is seen from the perspective of violence, by analogy cats are treated as victims, what allows the creation of a moral discourse and a political action against this kind of violence that is also expressed as an emotional discourse about animal suffering and giving them sympathy.Key words: Emotions.

Social movements occur not only because of political opportunities but also due to a perceived threat to citizens. Popular contention has remained an important mode of political participation in Hong Kong since 1997 when its sovereignty was handed over to China. Many influential collective actions in Hong Kong occurred when residents felt a threat had arisen from policies made by the city government or Beijing. By examining the Anti-Extradition-Bill movement in Hong Kong, this paper explores how threat triggers and sustains social movements. It finds that threat both facilitates the mobilization of social movements and sustains them. Threat strengthens solidarity among movement supporters because of their shared concerns and goals. It sustains a movement when government responses confirm participants’ belief in the continual existence of the threat. The Anti-Extradition-Bill movement deepened the distrust between local residents and Beijing, resulting in the promulgation of the National Security Law by Beijing in May 2020.

O presente trabalho é parte da pesquisa de doutorado sobre o que tenho chamado de reatualização da remoção de favelas no Rio de Janeiro. Nesta pesquisa, acompanho diversas experiências de remoção conduzidas pela prefeitura. Concentro a minha análise, neste artigo, naqueles processos de remoção que estão ocorrendo devido às intervenções urbanísticas que visam preparar a cidade para a Copa do Mundo de 2014 e as Olimpíadas de 2016. Argumento que, em situações de remoção, a relação entre os aparatos estatais e os moradores de favelas se constitui por meio da exceção. As práticas estatais nestes territórios não poderiam ser entendidas em termos de lei e transgressão, mas como práticas que se encontrariam simultaneamente dentro e fora da lei. Palavras-chave: favelas; remoção; lei; exceção. Abstract: This paper presents part of the research for my doctoral thesis about the process that I call recapitulating the slums removal in Rio de Janeiro. In this research, I followed several removal conducted by the city government. I concentrate the analysis in the removals processes that are occurring due to urban interventions that aim to prepare the city for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. I argue that in situations of displacement, the relationship between the state apparatus and the slum dwellers is constituted by exception. The state practices in these areas could not be understood in terms of law and transgression, but as practices that are simultaneously inside and outside the law. Keywords: slums removal; law; exception.
