The text, which is part of the new field of social sciences – Donbas Studies, presents partial results of the research carried out in the city of Severodonetsk, which is located in the Lugansk Oblast in Donbas. The author, using the ethnographic method of field research, was looking for an answer to the question of how the process of decommunization in Donbas proceeded, and in particular, how the sense of removing the symbols of communism was negotiated, what aspects of this process turned out to be socially conflicting, and what role young people played in this process? Using the interpretation of metaphors and etymologies, the author states that de-communization in Ukraine, apart from the official imperative of oblivion, brings an element of revenge with it. Thanks to participation in the discussion on the de-communization of young people, it is possible to notice that its field of meaning has been extended to include aspects relating not only to the assessment of the past, but also the current social situation in Ukraine. Thanks to this, de-communization does not only mean an order to forget, but also to remember.

Quando se entra em um bairro da periferia, o que se espera encontrar sobre o lazer dos jovens que aí habitam? Como transpõem as escalas na cidade, sobretudo a partir da periferia? Afinal, o que há de comum entre estes jovens ou suas redes juvenis quando se estudam suas formas de lazer? Mais ainda, que tipos de questões podem surgir quando suas práticas são percepcionadas no âmbito das espacialidades que compõem o uso que fazem no tempo livre para a diversão? As experiências de campo em cidades médias ajudaram a encontrar ou, mais precisamente, elaborar algumas respostas a estas questões. O que trago aqui é uma parte destas experiências a partir de um trabalho etnogeográfico com os jovens do low na cidade de Marília/SP, que revelam o modo como o capital espacial é construído por essas microculturas e como esse capital é usado para produzir suas escalas numa articulação intra e interurbana em torno da diversão e de suas performances.Palavras-chave: Etnogeografia.

How do they transpose the scales in the city, especially from the outskirts? After all, what’s common between these young people and their youth networks when one studies their forms of leisure? Furthermore, what types of questions may arise when their practices are perceived within the spatiality that makes up their use of the free time for leisure? The field experiences in medium-sized cities have helped to find or, in more accurate words, prepare some answers to these questions. What I bring here is part of these experiences, from an ethnogeography work with youth’s low in the city of Marilia (SP), which reveal how they build their ranges and their spatial capital.Keywords: Ethnogeography.

“RAP IS A THING THAT CONNECTS, IS IT LINKED?!”: RESSIGNIFICATING CONTEXTS OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN COMPLIANCE WITH SOCIO-EDUCATIONAL MEASURERESUMO: O presente trabalho tem como propósito uma reflexão sobre o rap como possibilidade educativa, que contribui na ressignificação do contexto de jovens e adolescentes em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa na cidade de Cascavel – PR. Objetiva-se uma discussão acerca do rap como alternativa pedagógica em espaços de institucionalização, tratando de questões referentes à noção de juventude e culturas juvenis e também a relação entre juventude e violência. Na tentativa de compreender como o rap pode ser utilizado como instrumento educativo, realizou-se uma pesquisa de campo no Centro de Referência Especializado de Assistência Social – CREAS II na cidade de Cascavel - PR, tendo como ponto principal a observação da Oficina de Rimas. Ademais, foram realizadas entrevistas com o oficineiro e com a pedagoga do centro. Na busca de verificar de que forma o rap tem contribuído para ressignificar contextos, utilizamos como referência as letras de rap compostas pelos adolescentes. Concluímos destacando que o gênero musical em questão é de grande influência no que se refere à formação de identidades e um importante elemento de constituição do imaginário sobre a vida do jovem na periferia. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: ABSTRACT: This paper aims to reflect on the rap as an educational possibility, which contributes to reframe the context of youth and adolescents in compliance with socio-educational measures in the city of Cascavel – PR. The objective is to discuss about rap as a pedagogical alternative in spaces of institutionalization, addressing issues related to the notion of youth and Youth Cultures and also the relationship between youth and violence. In an attempt to understand how rap can be used as an educational tool, a field research in Specialized Reference Center for Social Assistance- CREAS II was held in the city of Cascavel– PR, having as the main point the observation of Rhymes Workshop. Moreover, we also conducted interviews with the work shopper and the pedagogue of the center. In seeking to verify how rap has contributed to reframe contexts, we use as reference the rap lyrics composed by the teenagers. We concluded by pointing out that the musical genre in question is of great influence in relation to the formation of identities and an important imaginary constitution element about the life of the youth in the periphery. KEYWORDS: Youth - Youth Culture – Identity – Rap - Education.

In modern society, there is an increasing need to organize and fill the free time of children and young people. Observing and comparing the previous research on the free time of children and young people, it is evident that physical activity determined through sports is insufficiently practiced in the free time of children and young people. Youth sports games in the City of Zadar and Zadar County have been organized and held for many years, so they have proven to be promoters of a healthy lifestyle for children and youth. For the purposes of research and examination of respondents' satisfaction with the role and status of youth sports games in the City of Zadar and Zadar County, a survey method was used, where the sample consists of 467 participants in youth sports games, aged 12 to 18 for 2019 from the City Zadar and Zadar County. The aim of the research was to determine the degree of significance of youth sports competitions for participants and to directly determine the degree of socialization of that population caused by participation in competitions. According to the results of the research, it was determined that youth sports competitions are important for the participants, whose socialization in society has improved in accordance with the mentioned activity.

Drawing on field research and a survey of 150 Zimbabwean migrants in Johannesburg, this paper explores the dimensions of migrants’ transnational experiences in the urban space. I discuss the use of communication platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook as well as other means such as telephone calls in fostering the embedding of transnational migrants within both the Johannesburg and the Zimbabwean socio-economic environments. I engage this migrant-embedding using Bourdieusian concepts of “transnational habitus” and “transnational social field,” which are migration specific variations of Bourdieu’s original concepts of “habitus” and “social field.” In deploying these Bourdieusian conceptual tools, I observe that the dynamics of South–South migration as observed in the Zimbabwean migrants are different to those in the South–North migration streams and it is important to move away from using the same lens in interpreting different realities. For Johannesburg-based migrants to operate within the socio-economic networks produced in South Africa and in Zimbabwe, they need to actively acquire a transnational habitus. I argue that migrants’ cultivation of networks in Johannesburg is instrumental, purposive, and geared towards achieving specific and immediate goals, and latently leads to the development and sustenance of flexible forms of permanency in the transnational urban space.

Young people are important to cities, bringing skills and energy and contributing to economic activity. New technologies have led to the idea of a smart city as a framework for city management. Smart cities are developed from the top-down through government programmes, but also from the bottom-up by residents as technologies facilitate participation in developing new forms of city services. Young people are uniquely positioned to contribute to bottom-up smart city projects. Few diagnostic tools exist to guide city authorities on how to prioritise city service provision. A starting point is to understand how the youth value city services. This study surveys young people in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, and conducts an importance-performance analysis to identify which city services are well regarded and where the city should focus efforts and resources. The results show that Smart city initiatives that would most increase the satisfaction of youths in Braamfontein  include wireless connectivity, tools to track public transport  and  information  on city events. These  results  identify  city services that are valued by young people, highlighting services that young people could participate in providing. The importance-performance analysis can assist the city to direct effort and scarce resources effectively.

ABSTRAK: Inti pokok masalah dalam penelitian ini meliputi latar belakang gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna, Faktor-faktor yang mendorong gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna, proses gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna dan akibat gerakan sosial masyarakat Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna? Latar belakang gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba yaitu keadaan kampungnya yang hanya terdiri dari beberapa kepala keluarga tiap kampung dan jarak yang jauh masing-masing kampung membuat keadaan masyarakatnya sulit untuk berkomnikasi dan tiap kampung hanya terdiri dari lima sampai dengan tujuh kepala keluarga saja. Kampung ini letaknya paling timur pulau Muna terbentang dari ujung kota Raha sekarang sampai kampung Wakuru yang saat ini. Kondisi ini juga yang menjadi salah satu faktor penyebab kampung ini kurang berkembang baik dibidang ekonomi, sosial politik, pendidikan maupun di bidang kebudayaan. Keadaan ini diperparah lagi dengan sifat dan karakter penduduknya yang masih sangat primitif. Faktor yang mendorong adanya gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna adalah adanya ketidaksesuaian antara keinginan pemerintah setempat dan masyarakat yang mendiami Kampung Labaluba pada waktu itu. Sedangkan proses gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna bermula ketika pemerintah seolah memaksakan kehendaknya kepada rakyat yang menyebabkan rakyat tidak setuju dengan kebijakan tersebut. Akibat yang ditimbulkan dari adanya gerakan sosial masyarakat Kampung Labaluba Desa Kontumere Kecamatan Kabawo Kabupaten Muna terbagi dua yaitu akibat positif dan akibat negatif.Kata Kunci: Gerakan Sosial, Factor dan Dampaknya ABSTRACT: The main issues in this study include the background of the social movement of Labaluba Village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo Sub-District, Muna District, Factors that encourage social movements of Labaluba Kampung Sub-village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo Sub-District, Muna District, the social movement process of Labaluba Village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo Sub-District Muna Regency and due to Labaluba community social movements Kontumere Village Kabawo District Muna Regency? The background of the Labaluba Kampung community social movement is that the condition of the village consists of only a few heads of households per village and the distance of each village makes it difficult for the community to communicate and each village only consists of five to seven households. This village is located east of the island of Muna stretching from the edge of the city of Raha now to the current village of Wakuru. This condition is also one of the factors causing the village to be less developed in the economic, social political, educational and cultural fields. This situation is made worse by the very primitive nature and character of the population. The factor that motivated the existence of the social movement of Labaluba Village in Kontumere Village, Kabawo Subdistrict, Muna Regency was the mismatch between the wishes of the local government and the people who inhabited Labaluba Village at that time. While the process of social movements in Labaluba Village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo District, Muna Regency began when the government seemed to impose its will on the people, causing the people to disagree with the policy. The consequences arising from the existence of social movements in Labaluba Village, Kontumere Village, Kabawo District, Muna Regency are divided into two, namely positive and negative effects. Keywords: Social Movements, Factors and their Impacts

Sports Tourism as a segment is growing exponentially in Brazil. The sports mega-events that occurred in the period from 2007 to 2016 helped strengthen this sector significantly. This article examined tourism mobility during the Summer Olympic Games Rio 2016, hosted by the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This study expands the understanding of the relationship between tourism and city infrastructure, therefore being relevant to academics, professionals of the area and to the whole society due to its multidisciplinary field. The existence of a relationship between means of transportation and the Olympic regions as well as tourist attractions for a possible legacy was observed. Data were collected from official sources, field research and through participant-observation and semi structured interviews. Data were coded and analyzed. The results indicate that the city was overall successful in its execution of sufficient mobility. New means of transportation were added and others updated. BRT's (Bus Rapid Transit) were the main use of mass transport to Olympic sites. However, a lack of public transport access was observed for the touristic sites.
