Special Issue

By raising the theme of  Design and Cultural Diversity in this special issue of FormAkademisk we hope to stimulate a broad cross disciplinary discussion on the interplay of cultures within the field of design and design education. The main dimensions of the topic might be summarized as: - The dimensions and meanings of cultural diversity- Politics and power- Transmission and transition of cultures- Heritage and innovation- Indigenous and vernacular traditions versus fashion and euro-centered attitudes- Design and learning approaches These matters are complex, deeply interwoven and interdependent. This series of articles discusses how design might support an innovative development that takes care of diverse traditions and attitudes, supports equality and peaceful co-existence.

Image segmentation and geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) were proposed around the turn of the century as a means to analyze high-spatial-resolution remote sensing images. Since then, object-based approaches have been used to analyze a wide range of images for numerous applications. In this Editorial, we present some highlights of image segmentation and GEOBIA research from the last two years (2018–2019), including a Special Issue published in the journal Remote Sensing. As a final contribution of this special issue, we have shared the views of 45 other researchers (corresponding authors of published papers on GEOBIA in 2018–2019) on the current state and future priorities of this field, gathered through an online survey. Most researchers surveyed acknowledged that image segmentation/GEOBIA approaches have achieved a high level of maturity, although the need for more free user-friendly software and tools, further automation, better integration with new machine-learning approaches (including deep learning), and more suitable accuracy assessment methods was frequently pointed out.

Cultural Rights

This special issue has its origins in the workshop The policy of cultural rights: socio-legal perspectives on cultural diversity held at the IISL in July 2017, and chaired by Miren Manias-Muñoz (UPV/EHU) and Lucero Ibarra (CIDE Mexico). It is a combination of five papers whose first versions were originally presented at that workshop, and three additional manuscripts submitted individually to our journal, which, in view of their subject and research rationale, and after due peer review, have been considered as particularly adequate and suitable to be included in this special-issue. All in one, this collection addresses the policy of cultural production, state regulation, and social contestation at the local and national scale, offering interesting insights about Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Spain. Este número especial de Oñati Socio-Legal Series tiene su origen en el seminario titulado The policy of cultural rights: socio-legal perspectives on cultural diversity, celebrado en el IISJ en julio de 2017, coordinado por Miren Manias-Muñoz (UPV/EHU) y Lucero Ibarra (CIDE México). Es una combinación de cinco artículos cuyas versiones originales fueron presentadas en dicho seminario, y tres artículos enviados de forma individual a nuestra revista y que, en atención a su tema y la lógica de su investigación, y tras la debida revisión por pares, han sido considerados como especialmente adecuados para su inclusión en este número. En resumen, esta colección se refiere a las políticas de producción cultural, regulación estatal y contestación social en una escala local y nacional, y ofrece interesantes perspectivas sobre Argentina, Brasil, Canadá, México y España.
