This book analyses in detail half a century of international discussions on housing, slums and informal settlements, identifies policy phases (self-help, enabling) and discusses pros and cons of ...applied measures globally and in the context of Indonesia. It contributes to a better understanding of interlinkages between urban governance and housing policies by employing the analytical framework of policy arrangements, and by developing a normative compass based on Henri Lefebvre’s right to the city. Empirically, it examines and compares housing strategies (social housing, resettlements, slum upgrading) and modes of governance in two case studies, the Indonesian cities Surabaya and Surakarta.
Dieses Buch analysiert ein halbes Jahrhundert internationaler Diskussionen um Wohnraum, Slums und informelle Siedlungen, identifiziert Phasen von Wohnungspolitik (self-help, enabling) und diskutiert die Vor-und Nachteile angewandter Maßnahmen aus einer globalen und Indonesischen Perspektive. Mithilfe des Analysekonzepts der Policy Arrangements und der Entwicklung eines normativen Kompasses, der auf Henri Lefebvre’s Recht auf Stadt beruht, wird ein besseres Verständnis der Verflechtungen städtischer Governance und Wohnungspolitik erreicht. In zwei empirischen Fallstudien, den indonesischen Städten Surabaya und Surakarta, werden Wohnungsbaustrategien (sozialer Wohnungsbau, Umsiedlungen, slum-upgrading) und Formen von Governance vergleichend untersucht.

The aim of this article is to assess the innovative potential of Polish regional economies. The article discusses various definitions of the category of innovative potential. On the path of achieving ...the goal, two taxonomic methods and a method that using transition matrices which come from the Markov chain theory were used. The analysis leads to the following conclusions. Firstly, the results confirmed the findings of other researchers that the best developed regions in terms of their ability to develop innovation are mazowiecki, dolnośląski, śląski, małopolski and wielkopolski, while the least developed regions are podlaski, warmińsko-mazurski, lubuski and opolski. Secondly, the ability to develop innovation is stable over time. The transition from the lower to the higher level takes place in multiannual cycles and is related to the effectiveness of the regional innovation ecosystem.
The aim of the research was to identify the links between industrial and logistic activities with the railway network in the Szczecin metropolitan area (Poland). The research area covered communes ...belonging to the Szczecin Metropolitan Area Association and several adjacent communes, closely related to them due to the route of railway lines – 18 communes in total. The railway infrastructure and investment projects related to its expansion were analysed. The current status and development prospects for rail freight in the studied area are presented. The analysis used, inter alia, unpublished data of PKP PLK on the average daily train traffic. The railway network of the research area covered almost 360 km of railway lines and over 80 railway sidings. Freight trains were serviced at 17 stations, including 12 having generally accessible loading points. The main generators of rail freight were seaports and chemical plants in Police (Poland) – as evidenced by the traffic flows (number of freight trains) on railway lines leading to freight stations serving these entities.
