Avtor izhaja iz predpostavke, da malih mest ni možno opredeliti kot posebno kategorijo naselij ker je edino skupno merilo za ločevanje med urbanimi naselji, število prebivalcev. V pojasnilu navaja ...značilnosti, ki so nekoč opredeljevale mesta, kot so obzidje, trg in statut. The hypothesis of the article is, that small towns cannot be defined as a particular category of settlements since the only common denominator between them is the number of their inhabitants. In the explanation former characteristics of towns are discussed such as the wall, market and statute.
Zelene površine so v malih mestih večinoma »last« mesta, s tem pa so v lasti vseh prebivalcev, so torej v skupni rabi. Ob njih se pojavljajo zelene površine, ki so v privatni lasti, vendar imajo v ...teh mestih mogoče ravno zaradi svoje »majhnosti« še toliko večjo vlogo. Zelene površine v majhnih mestih močno vplivajo na zaznavo podobe mesta in zadovoljujejo potrebe prebivalcev po zelenih površinah, v primeru z drugimi rabami v mestu pa so enakovredna prostorska kategorija, ki zahteva avtonomen pristop k reševanju, vrednotenje in shema upravljalsko urejevalnega sistema.
This book examines immigration to small cities throughout Canada. It explores the distinct challenges brought about by the influx of people to urban communities which typically have less than 100,000 ...residents. The essays are organized into four main sections: partnerships, resources, and capacities; identities, belonging, and social networks; health, politics, and diversity, and Francophone minority communities. Taken together, they provide a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary perspective on the contemporary realities of immigration to small urban locations. Readers will discover how different groups of migrants, immigrants, and Francophone minorities confront systemic discrimination; how settlement agencies and organizations develop unique strategies for negotiating limited resources and embracing opportunities brought about by changing demographics; and how small cities work hard to develop inclusive communities and respond to social exclusions. In addition, each essay includes a case study that highlights the topic under discussion in a particular city or region, from Brandon, Manitoba to the Thompson-Nicola Region in British Columbia, from Peterborough, Ontario to the Niagara Region. As a complement to metropolitan-based works on immigration in Canada, this collection offers an important dimension in migration studies that will be of interest to academics, researchers, as well as policymakers and practitioners working on immigrant integration and settlement.
