The Social

This chapter is an ethnographic case study of the social integration trajectories of youth living in two stigmatized and poor neighborhoods in Montevideo. It explains the linkages between residential segregation and social inclusion and exclusion patterns in unequal urban neighborhoods. Most empirical neighborhood research on the effects of residential segregation in contexts of high poverty and extreme stigmatization have focused on its negative effects. However, the real mechanisms and mediations influencing the so-called neighborhood effects of residential segregation are still not well understood. Scholars have yet to isolate specific neighborhood effects and their contribution to processes of social inclusion and exclusion. Focusing on the biographical experiences of youth in marginalized neighborhoods, this ethnography demonstrates the relevance of social mediations that modulate both positive and negative residential segregation effects.

School Year

The school mobility rate in St. Louis Public Schools was 40% in 2011-2012, meaning that nearly half of students exited or entered a given school midway through the school year. This alarmingly high rate of churning across schools is accompanied by high neighborhood turnover, particularly within low-income, urban neighborhoods. This constant, disruptive change presents a serious and fundamental challenge for urban education. In this article, we summarize the literature linking mobility to educational outcomes, examine the causes of hypermobility in the case study of St. Louis, describe some of the current approaches to this challenge, and propose additional policy and program solutions.

The present study is concerned with the management of multi-thematic geo-data of Cephallonia Island, related to crustal deformation. A large amount of heterogeneous data (vector, raster, ascii files) involving geology, tectonics, topography, geomorphology and DGPS measurements was compiled. Crustal deformation was studied using GPS network consisting of '23 stations. This was installed and measured in October 2001 and re-measured during September 2003 following the Lefkas earthquake of August 2003 (Mw=6.2), and also in July 2006. With proper spatial analysis, a large number of thematic and synthetic layers and maps were produced. Simultaneously, a GIS Data base was organized in order to make an easy extraction of conclusions in specific questions.
