Steering Methods

Organizational behavioural patterns of Sport FacilitiesThis article develops hypotheses on how different steering methods influence patterns of action in Sport Facilities. It is firstly argued that the sport facility run by the City Council seen from a normative institutional perspective will focus on other user groups than those who use the facility today. This is due to an increased focus from the City Council on Sport for All. Secondly, from a rational institutional perspective, the sport facility run by the City Council will keep focus on existing users and public welfare institutions due the transaction costs of focusing on new users. Thirdly, private nonprofit sport facilities seen from a normative institutional approach might focus on existing users due to a ‘logic of appropriateness’ established between the users and the sport facility. Finally, seen from a rational institutional perspective on non-profit private sport facilities, the hypothesis is that they will have an increased focus on attracting more activity to the sport facility as they will benefit economically. Which of these hypotheses that is most valid is an empirical question that needs to be tested in additional studies.

Social disciplining in Elbing hospitals in the 17th century The article undertakes the problematics of rules and range of social disciplining and forming a proper model of behaviour attempted by the city authorities in the instance of urban hospitals in Elbing (Elbląg) of the 17th century. The following ordinances for the 17th century Elblag hospitals have been analysed in that respect: St. Elisabeth’s from 1617, 1625 and 1651, the Holy Spirit’s from 1631 and 1651 (including the project from around the half of the 17th century), Corpus Christi’s from 1651 and St. George’s from 1657, as well as the ordinance of an orphanage established at St Elisabeth hospital (Kinder‑Haus) from 1698 and two memorial statements of the Hospital Office (Spital‑Amt) dated around the half of the 17th century containing postulates referring to the necessity of introducing changes in the current hospital ordinances. In effect, various forms of disciplining as well as mechanisms of maintaining social control have been discussed, which comprise the following aspects: 1. forming religious attitudes conforming with the spirit of Lutheran orthodoxy (doctrinal assumptions, religious education basics); 2. disciplining through compulsory religious practices; 3. disciplining through social hierarchy consolidation (prayers in the intention of the City Council, respect for principal authorities, ban on cursing on the authorities or reprimanding alms, complaining about hospital food); 4. disciplining through enforced work; 5. disciplining abnormal moral behaviour (drunkenness, fornication, theft, fraud, gambling); 6. controlling verbal, symbolic or physical aggression; 7. time rationing (strictly normalised day schedules) and space rationing (ban on leaving the hospital, maintaining cleanness in the occupied quarters); 8. shaping expected features of character (godliness, obedience, the ability of coexisting in a group); 9. disciplining verbal behaviour (ban on swearing, making noise, gossiping, disturbing religious practices by talking) and behavioural patterns (ban on dancing and binges). Also, the system of penalty sanctions issued by hospital authorities against people breaking the ordinance rules has been analysed; moreover, an attempt to reconstruct the hierarchy of social harmfulness of misdemeanours depending on the type of penalties has been undertaken.

El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar la seguridad (1 = Sí cumple, 0 = No cumple) de las instalaciones y equipamientos deportivos de centros educativos de la ciudad de Mérida en base a la normativa NIDE y UNE-EN. De forma complementaria se valora su utilización (1 = Sí utilizaría, 0 = No utilizaría), riesgo y estado general de conservación (escala del 1 al 5). Todas las variables del estudio son registradas de acuerdo al check list elaborado por Herrador y Latorre (2008). Un total de 26 centros educativos fueron analizados, de los que se cumplimentaron 2611 ítems. Los resultados muestran que el porcentaje medio de seguridad es del 54%, con una valoración de utilización del 85%. Además, la valoración del riesgo y estado de conservación alcanza el 2.26 y 3.71 respectivamente. Existen diferencias en las variables de estudio según el Tipo de instalación y equipamiento deportivo. Destacar que las instalaciones cubiertas tienen mayor porcentaje de seguridad (69%) y valoración de conservación (3.67) mientras que las descubiertas obtienen mayor valoración de riesgo (2.52). Las canastas alcanzan más seguridad (53%), valoración de utilización (2.39) y conservación (4). Se recomienda mejorar la formación del docente de Educación Física en materia de seguridad de instalaciones deportivas e implementar medidas concretas de seguridad en la gestión y uso de las instalaciones y equipamientos deportivos de los centros ya que la práctica físico-deportiva no está totalmente garantizada.Abstrac. The aim of this study is to analyze the security (1= Yes, it meets, 0= No, it fails) of sports facilities and equipment of schools in Merida, in accordance with NIDE and UNE-EN regulations. Additionally it is also assessed their use (1= Yes, I would use it, 0= No, I would not use it), the risk and the general state of conservation (scale from 1 to 5). To reach our objectives, all variables in our study are recorded according to the check list developed by Herrador and Latorre (2008). 26 schools were analyzed, completing 2611 items. The results show a safety average percentage of 54%, with an utilization rating of 85%. In addition, the risk assessment and the state of conservation reach 2.26 and 3.71 respectively. There are differences in the variables of study according to the Type of sport facility and sport equipment. It should be pointed out that the indoor facilities have higher security percentage (69%) and conservation assessment (3.67) while the outdoor facilities have higher risk assessment (2.52). Baskets are safer (53%), evaluation of utilization (2.39) and conservation (4). Likewise, it is recommended to enhance the education of the teacher of Physical Education in security issues and implement safety measures in the management and use of sports facilities and equipment in the schools because the sport physical practice is not fully guaranteed.

Subject area Marketing management, pricing strategies, zoo management, non-profit organizations. Study level/applicability Difficult. Recommended for courses: marketing, strategy, pricing, customer behaviour, management of non-profit organizations, emerging markets. Case overview The case study deals with the pricing dilemma of the Birch House Zoo located in an Eastern European country. The zoo has implemented capital-intensive developments in the recent years its main attraction the Tropic World included. The organization is managed and subsidized by the city where it is situated, yet the City Council lately expressed that they wanted the zoo to be self-financing by the end of 2011 by finding new source of revenue. In 2009, the operational expenses of the zoo exceeded EUR five million; however, the revenues were far bellow this level. The tariff structure did not change in the last 30 years as pricing always had to be adjusted to the local purchasing power; recent developments and new attractions are only partly priced in at the moment. In the light of the special environment in which Birch House Zoo operates, the director has to initiate key actions that could bring the zoo to the level of breakeven in its operations and make it financially independent. Expected learning outcomes Ability to create pricing and revenue generating strategies; understanding idiosyncrasies of the management of non-profit organizations regarding this matter; understanding price elasticity issues.

Mål eller kaos? Muligheder og begrænsninger i at indføre ‘performance management’ i danske idrætsfaciliteter (Pros and cons of implementing performance management in Danish sport facilities)Many sport facilities in Denmark are heavily subsidised by city councils. But even though they drain the public purse, there has been little focus on performance management within this policy area. This article discusses the drawbacks and advantages of using different output indicators to measure how much sport facilities are used and how active the different user groups are. The analysis is primarily based on data collected in 56 multifunctional sport halls (800m2) in five Danish City Councils in the period from 2012-2014. The data indicates that different sports utilise the sport hall differently. For example, tennis has fewer users than dance and on average soccer use more of the ‘field of play’ than badminton. How such performance information is used depend on what the political aim of the sport facility is. On one side it makes it possible to prioritise between different user groups in order to increase how much of the facility is used and by how many. However, perverse effects are a risk and increased focus on for example number of users might decrease the level of physical activity. The analysis of this data is a first example of how indicators can be used to discuss the consequences of introducing performance management in the policy area of sport facilities.

AbstrakRevitalisasi merupakan upaya untuk menghidupkan kembali suatu daerah, kawasan atau bangunan agar dapat berfungsi kembali. Tirtomoyo merupakan fasilitas olah raga berenang pertama yang ada di Kota Surakarta. Fasilitas ini dahulu digunakan untuk PON pertama kali pada taun 1948 dan belum pernah diperbarui hingga sekarang. Seiring berjalannya waktu muncullah fasilitas-fasilitas  olahraga berenang yang lebih menarik hingga Tirtomoyopun tertinggal karena tidak terurus dan sempat mangkrak selama beberapa tahun. Nilai sejarah pada Tirtomoyo sebagai tempat diadakan PON yang pertama menjadi motivasi untuk di revitalisasi. Permasalahannya adalah bagaimanakah konsep bangunan yang mampu mempertahankan Tirtomoyo sebagai kenangan masa lalu tetapi tetap dapat diterima untuk konsisi masa kini dan yang akan datang. Perencanaan wahana olahraga, rekreasi, dan sarana edukasi untuk masyarakat di sekitar Kota Surakarta menjadi pilihan sebagai upaya  menghidupkan kembali kolam renang di Tirtomoyo. Konsep desain dilakukan dengan menggabungkan bangunan lama dengan bangunan baru menggunakan penerapan trace of memory dan adaptive re-use hingga menghasilkan bangunan yang tetap mempertahankan kenangan masa lalu tirtomoyo dengan fungsi dan nuansa kekinian. Tirtomoyo Sport And Wellness Center Surakarta , selain tempat olah raga juga menjadi tempat untuk membuat masyarakat menjadi baik.Kata kunci: adaptive re-use, edukasi, kolam renang, rekreasi, trace of memory Inggris. AbstraCTRevitalization is an effort to revive an area, area or building so that it can function again. Tirtomoyo is the first swimming sport facility in the city of Surakarta. This facility was used for PON for the first time in 1948 and has not been updated until now. Over time came the more attractive swimming sport facilities until Tirtomoyopun was left behind because it was neglected and had been stalled for several years. The historical value of Tirtomoyo as the first PON venue was motivated to be revitalized. The problem is how the concept of a building that is able to maintain Tirtomoyo as a memory of the past but still acceptable for present and future concessions. Planning a sports vehicle, recreation, and educational facilities for the community around the city of Surakarta is an option as an effort to revive the swimming pool in Tirtomoyo. The design concept is carried out by combining old buildings with new buildings using the application of trace of memory and adaptive re-use to produce buildings that still retain tirtomoyo's past memories with the functions and nuances of the present. Tirtomoyo Sport and Wellness Center Surakarta, in addition to sports venues, is also a place to make the community better.Keywords: adaptive re-use, education, swimming pool, recreation, trace of memory UK

City Identity

Place branding is a network of associations in the consumer’s mind, based on the visual, verbal, and behavioral expression of a place. Food can be an important tool to summarize it as it is part of the culture of a city and its symbolic capital. Food is imaginary, a ritual and a social construction. This paper aims to explore a ritual that has turned into one of the brands of Lisbon in the past few years. The fresh sardines barbecued out of doors, during Saint Anthony’s festival, has become a symbol that can be found on t-shirts, magnets and all kinds of souvenirs. Over the year, tourists can buy sardine shaped objects in very cheap stores to luxurious shops. There is even a whole boutique dedicated to the fish: “The Fantastic World of Portuguese Sardines” and an annual competition promoted by the city council to choose the five most emblematic designs of sardines. In order to analyze the Sardine phenomenon from a city branding point of view, the objective of this paper is to comprehend what associations are made by foreigners when they are outside of Lisbon. As a methodological procedure five design sardines, were used of last year to questioning to which city they relate them in interviews carried in Madrid, Lyon, Rome and London. Upon completion of the analysis, the results of the city branding strategy adopted by the city council to promote the sardines as the official symbol of Lisbon is seen as a Folkmarketing action. The effects are positive, but still quite local. On the other hand, significant participation of the Lisbon´s dwellers in the Sardine Contest was observed, which seems to be a good way to promote the city identity and pride in their best ambassador: the citizens.

How did Edinburgh become ‘festival city’? Despite appearances, it was not always so, and it acquired the accolade by happenstance; in the view of one observer, a ‘strange amalgam of cultural banditry, civic enterprise and idealism’. The official Festival's survival was down to the City Council, and it was funded almost entirely by public bodies. This was the central structure around which The Fringe developed, and The Traverse prospered, along with smaller festivals and events to become Festival City. The story sheds considerable light on how Edinburgh ‘works’, its strengths and weaknesses combined.

On a warm summer afternoon in 1561, Calvin’s chief editor donned a heavy stole, thick robes, and a gleaming tiara and proceeded to strut and fret his hour upon the stage in a comedy of his own devising. For little more than a century, Christians in the West had celebrated on August 6th Christ’s Transfiguration as the son of God in shining robes. But on this Sunday in Geneva, the city council, consistory, and an audience fresh from having attended edifying sermons at morning service gathered to applaud the transfiguration of the learned Conrad Badius into the title role of ...

By 10 January 2017, activists in the predominately Latina/o working class city of La Puente, California had lobbied the council to declare the city a sanctuary supporting immigrants, people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and people with disabilities. The same community members urged the school district to declare itself a sanctuary. While community members rejoiced in pushing elected officials to pass these inclusive resolutions, there were multiple roadblocks reducing the potential for more substantive change. Drawing on city council and school board meetings, resolutions and my own involvement in this sanctuary struggle, I focus on a continuum of three overlapping and interlocking manifestations of white supremacist heteronormative patriarchy: neoliberal diversity discourses, institutionalized policies, and a re-emergence of high-profiled white supremacist activities. Together, these dynamics minimized, contained and absorbed community activism and possibilities of change. They reinforced the status quo by maintaining limits on who belongs and sustaining intersecting hierarchies of race, immigration status, gender, and sexuality. This extended case adds to the scant scholarship on the current sanctuary struggles, including among immigration scholars. It also illustrates how the state co-opts and marginalizes movement language, ideas, and people, providing a cautionary tale about the forces that restrict more transformative change.

Acculturation Factors

Abstract Civic engagement is an important dimension of age-friendly communities but has been understudied among Asian immigrant groups. While research has attributed greater civic engagement among immigrants to acculturation factors, the influence of acculturation may be conditioned upon Asian immigrants’ social network and place attachment to their city. We used data from the Asian American Quality of Life survey to analyze civic engagement activity (e.g., City council meeting, voting in a City election) among a diverse sample of middle-aged and older Asian immigrants in Austin, Texas (N = 994). 34.5% of the sample had participated in at least one civic engagement activity in the past 12 months. We examined how such civic engagement is associated with acculturation factors, and further examined whether one’s friend network and perception of their city moderated the association. We found that number of years lived in the U.S., familiarity with mainstream American culture, and number of friends in one’s social network were positively related to civic engagement activity. Furthermore, we found that the association between years lived in the U.S. and civic engagement was more pronounced for immigrants with larger friend networks; the association between familiarity with American culture and civic engagement was more pronounced for immigrants with more positive perceptions of the city. These findings highlight that acculturation may not operate alone in civic engagement among Asian immigrants. Rather, it may also be important to create opportunities for Asian immigrants to feel connected to their community and build meaningful friend networks to encourage civic engagement.
