  The economic characteristics of the residents of Hail affect the population growth, on the one hand we find that home ownership in terms of rent or ownership affects the level of fertility of wives, and on the other hand the majority of families in the city of Hail own their own dwelling, equivalent to (45.5%) of the population They live in private villas, and (23.6%) live in private apartments, and we find that the residents of popular houses are the highest in the average number of children for residents of villas, and (68.7%) of Hail residents reside in houses consisting of two floors, while (31, 3%) reside in houses consisting of one floor in which the fertility level of husbands and wives is high, the number of rooms in the house also affects fertility levels in terms of the degree of crowding in the house, and the impact of the economic aspect is prominent in the profession of the husband and wife and their monthly income on the fertility level in a way. The higher the income, the fewer the family’s children will be born, and vice versa. In this context, we address the importance of entertainment and their impact on fertility levels, so we find that car ownership and domestic labor affect the fertility level and trends of the husband and wife.

This study examines the effects of a wife's participation in the labor force and other socioeconomic factors on family expenditures for prepared food, food prepared at home, and food away from home using the Bureau of Labor Statistics 1992 consumer expenditure survey. On the one hand, results indicate that the number of children, home ownership with mortgage, seasonality, region, wife's age, and income are important determinants of expenditures on food prepared at home. A wife's education and participation in the labor force, on the other hand, affect expenditures on prepared food and food away from home. The impact of both these factors is greater on food away from home than on prepared food expenditures.

Public spaces are defined as places that should be accessible to all inhabitants without restrictions. They are spaces not only for gathering, socializing and celebrating but also for initiating discussions, protesting and demonstrating. Thus, public spaces are intangible expressions of democracy—a topic that the paper tackles its viability within the context of Alexandria, case study Al-Qaed Ibrahim square. On the one hand, Al-Qaed Ibrahim square which is named after Al-Qaed Ibrahim mosque is a sacred element in the urban fabric; whereas on the other it represents a non-religious revolutionary symbol in the Alexandrian urban public sphere. This contradiction necessitates finding an approach to study the characteristic of this square/mosque within the Alexandrian context—that is to realize the impact of the socio-political events on the image of Al-Qaed Ibrahim square, and how it has transformed into a revolutionary urban symbol and yet into a no-public space. The research revolves around the hypothesis that the political events taking place in Egypt after January 25th, 2011, have directly affected the development of urban public spaces, especially in Alexandria. Therefore methodologically, the paper reviews the development of Al-Qaed Ibrahim square throughout the Egyptian socio-political changes, with a focus on the square’s urban and emotional contextual transformations. For this reason, the study adheres to two theories: the "city elements" by Kevin Lynch and "emotionalizing the urban" by Frank Eckardt. The aim is not only to study the mentioned public space but also to figure out the changes in people’s societal behaviour and emotion toward it. Through empowering public spaces, the paper calls the different Egyptian political and civic powers to recognize each other, regardless of their religious, ethnical or political affiliations. It is a step towards replacing the ongoing political conflicts, polarization, and suppression with societal reconciliation, coexistence, and democracy.

Market access has been widely used as a measure of agglomeration spillovers in models that seek to explain productivity, economic or population growth at the city level. Most results have shown that having higher market access is beneficial to these outcomes. These results, both theoretical and empirical, have been obtained in a context of population growth. This article examines the impact that market access has on a system of cities that has suffered a negative population shock. An extended version of the Brezis and Krugman (1997) model of life cycle of cities predicts that a system of cities experiencing population loss will see a relative reorganization of its population from small to larger cities, and that higher market potential will make this movement stronger. We test these predictions with a comprehensive sample of cities in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. We find that having higher market access - when operating in an environment of population decline - is detrimental to city population growth. This result is robust to different measures of market access that use population. Alternative measures that use economic size rather population are tested, and the result weaker. A possible explanation is that using NLs restricts the sample to only using larger cities.

Increasing complexity of societal questions requires participatory processes that engage with capable participants. We adopted Horellis’ stance on participation as not an isolated event but a constant communication between different groups that can be assured by using enabling tools. We applied the Capability Approach to frame a capacity-building process and understand how this framework can support a collective of entrepreneurs to become aware of their capabilities (and the impact of an ongoing urban renewal process on these capabilities). The Capability Approach emphasizes the personal and structural conditions that impact a person’s capability to choose—the conditions that affect the process of determining what a person values. The paper builds on a two year capacity-building process conducted in Genk, Belgium, and proposes a conceptual framework for building capacities, in which the process and outputs collide with ideas of choice, ability, and opportunity, notions central to the Capability Approach. The case study looks at one of the main commercial streets of the city (Vennestraat) and reflects on a set of enabling artefacts used to engage proprietors in the capacity-building process. This capacity-building process, characterized by the idea of space and capabilities, advances a critical viewpoint on issues related to participatory processes and gives practitioners a set of enabling tools to start a conversation over complex urban transformations, such as the one in Vennestraat.

Several things have been said in the field of pedagogy. But, this does not prevent the appearance of new educational concepts. The world of pedagogy has practically no limit. In our study, we attempted to identify the impact that school libraries could have on educational achievements. The statement of the problem was strengthened by two main questions: Could school libraries play a fundamental role in improving educational achievements? Could school libraries integrate their resources as pedagogical supports in the educational process? In our visits to thirty school libraries in the city of Constantine, we were able to conduct a descriptive study and collect interesting data that we analyzed through a qualitative approach. Significant results were obtained. The latter globally showed via several indicators that the school library, on the one hand, contributed concretely to educational achievements, and, on the other hand, played an efficient role in the learning process by providing a variety of supports and services to the users.

A partir das investigações feitas no “jogo” entre alterações x persistências, rodeado pelo grande crescimento populacional e recente ocupação urbana da cidade de Rio das Ostras, serão apontadas marcas de desterritorialização, associadas às experiências, valores e atitudes dos pescadores, decorrentes dessa urbanização. Apontaremos ainda, as rupturas e as similitudes desse processo que nos permitem enxergar o lugar dos pescadores como um microcosmo do processo de globalização econômica, a partir de eventos de um novo cenário de relações sobre a história em movimento do grupo social em tela.Palavras-chave: Desterritorialização Simbólica; Globalização Econômica; Topoafetividade.ABSTRACTThe study presents conclusions reached in the research and analysis process of the master's dissertation entitled “The place as a watercolor of nature and culture”, in which we researched affectivity in the fishermen of Boca da Barra, Rio das Ostras, RJ. Based on the research into the "play" between changes x continuity amidst significant population growth and recent urban settlement of the city of Rio das Ostras, we will review the impact of deterritorialization on the experiences, values and attitudes of the fishermen arising from urbanization. We will also examine the ruptures and similarities in this process, which allow us to see the fishermen's home as a microcosm of the economic globalization process in which a new pattern of relationships unfolds in the on-going history of a social group.Keywords: Symbolic Deterritorialization; Economic Globalization; Affectivity.RESUMENEl presente estudio presenta conclusiones obtenidas en el proceso de investigación y análisis de la disertación de máster titulada “El lugar como acuarela de naturaleza y cultura”, en la que investigamos la topoafectividad de los pescadores de Boca da Barra, en Rio das Ostras, Rio de Janeiro.
