Rural communities throughout the post-industrial world are in the midst of a significant transition, sometimes referred to as rural restructuring, as traditional land uses, economic activities, and ...social arrangements transition to those associated with "post-productivist" or "multifunctional" landscapes. Amenity migration, the movement of people based on the draw of natural and/or cultural amenities, can be thought of as both driver and implication of this transition, resulting in significant changes in the ownership, use, and governance of rural lands, as well as in the composition and socioeconomic dynamics of rural communities. In concert with other social, economic and political processes, amenity migration is contributing to the fundamental transformation of rural communities throughout the world. This paper presents a review of the social science literature related to the concept of amenity migration, focusing on the ways in which it has been conceptualized, theorized, and documented by different communities of scholars. We then profile and summarize diverse perspectives on drivers and socioeconomic impacts, highlighting emerging challenges and opportunities related to this type of migration occurring at multiple scales and in multiple sites. The paper also identifies and discusses particular areas where further research is needed.
O estudo desta pesquisa compreende a tecnologia e as suas possibilidades democráticas, integrado a um debate sobre as teorias da democracia. A tecnologia, na modernidade, encontra-se posta como um ...instrumento com o qual o agente se comunica com o seu meio, e as teorias críticas clássicas que a abarcam partem de dois caminhos: onde a sua potencialidade é um meio de dominação, ou que a sua capacidade é neutra, baseada em uma racionalidade científica inerente. A democracia tem como propósito integrar os interesses de todos e, a partir disso, direcionar as tomadas de decisões. O fator é complexo, porém um composto é perene: a manifestação e a veiculação de um interesse é um pressuposto para que tal interesse faça parte do sistema político e jurídico da sociedade. Pretendeu-se responder ao problema expresso da seguinte forma: o desenvolvimento tecnológico se limita aos termos das correntes instrumentalista e substancialista da tecnologia, tendo em vista a pluralidade democrática contemporânea? Considerando as relações da sociedade industrial contemporânea, a tecnologia possui propulsores democráticos, uma vez pensando-a e integrando, em seu desenvolvimento, as particularidades de cada pessoa ou grupo de pessoas, como meio de potencializar o seu conteúdo e os seus efeitos na sociedade. A inclusão das pessoas com deficiência na esfera digital precisa ser arquitetada, pois encontra sérios impedimentos, análogos à esfera física. O método de abordagem empregado foi o hermenêutico, partindo de premissas que se consubstanciam no problema. O método de procedimento utilizado foi o monográfico, e a técnica de pesquisa, bibliográfica.
This article covers a study of the industrial civilization phenomenon in courses on history, cultural studies, philosophy and political science for pupils and students. It focuses on features of ...industrial society development which students need to know in order to get a holistic picture of historical and cultural processes. Moreover, this article shows the relationship between the development of industrial society and the formation of political ideologies as well as provides advisories to help teachers explain these aspects to students. Addressing ways of explaining the specifics of Russian industrial society development to students is another major focus of this article.
Mine pit lakes are formed when open‐cut pits flood with water, and these lakes occur by the thousands on every inhabited continent. The remediation and closure of pit lakes is a pressing issue for ...sustainable development and provision of freshwater ecosystem services. While pit lakes can be spectacular examples of recreation and renewal, pit lakes may be better known for their poor water qualities and risks to communities and the environment. Often the public wants to simply “fill the pits in” to restore a terrestrial landscape, but this is not always possible. Therefore, planning for remediation and future uses is likely to provide the best outcome. Poor water quality is not necessarily a barrier to future use, although it may limit the number of uses. Short‐term future uses tend to require commercial viability, active infrastructure investment, and maintenance, and should transition to complementary long‐term uses that promote biodiversity. Long‐term future uses require relatively less ongoing maintenance beyond the initial investment and adhere to the principles that pit lakes should be safe, sustainable, and non‐polluting in perpetuity. Pit lakes will eventually develop “ecosystem values,” and the time to do so depends on the nature of the intervention and the values ascribed by the community. Where possible, closing pit lakes as sustainable ecosystems is the most realistic goal that permits a variety of future uses that is likely to see pit lakes valued by future generations.

Entwicklung von Tagebauseen als Gewässerökosysteme: Risiken, Realität und zukünftige Nutzung
Tagebauseen entstehen, wenn Tagebaue mit Wasser gefüllt werden. Solche Seen gibt es zu Tausenden auf allen bewohnten Kontinenten. Die Sanierung und Entwicklung von Tagebauseen ist ein dringendes Problem für die nachhaltige Entwicklung und die Bereitstellung von Süßwasser‐Ökosystemleistungen. Obwohl Tagebauseen spektakuläre Beispiele für Erholung und Erneuerung sein können, sind Tagebauseen eher für ihre schlechte Wasserqualität und die Risiken für Mensch und Umwelt bekannt. Oft möchte die Öffentlichkeit einfach „die Tagebaue auffüllen", um eine terrestrische Landschaft wiederherzustellen, was aber nicht immer möglich ist. Daher liefert die Planung von Sanierung und künftiger Nutzung wahrscheinlich das beste Ergebnis. Eine schlechte Wasserqualität ist nicht zwangsläufig ein Hindernis für die künftige Nutzung, obwohl sie die Zahl der Nutzungsmöglichkeiten einschränken kann. Kurzfristige künftige Nutzungen erfordern in der Regel kommerzielle Rentabilität, aktive Infrastrukturinvestitionen und ‐instandhaltung und sollten in ergänzende langfristige Nutzungen übergehen, die die biologische Vielfalt fördern. Langfristige künftige Nutzungen erfordern über die anfänglichen Investitionen hinaus relativ wenig laufende Instandhaltung und halten sich an die Grundsätze, dass Tagebauseen auf Dauer sicher, nachhaltig und umweltfreundlich sein sollten. Die Tagebauseen werden mit der Zeit „Ökosystemwerte" entwickeln. Die dafür notwendige Zeit hängt von der Art des Eingriffs und den Werten ab, die die Gesellschaft ihnen zuschreibt. Wo es möglich ist, ist die Entwicklung von Tagbauseen zu nachhaltigen Ökosystemen das realistischste Ziel, das eine Vielzahl zukünftiger Nutzungen zulässt, die wahrscheinlich dazu führen, dass Tagebauseen von zukünftigen Generationen geschätzt werden.
Mine pit lakes can be centers of economic and cultural renewal, as exemplified by a pit lake (Geierswalder See, Lusatia) in the former East Germany. Long‐term passive future uses such as recreation and provision of ecosystem services can ensure pit lakes are valuable assets for future generations, rather than environmental burdens.

The rapid development of digital and communication technologies in the second decade of the XXI century has had a significant impact on all spheres of human life and accelerated the transition to a ...post-industrial society. Information has become as accessible as never before, moreover everyone who has a gadget with Internet access becomes an active content producer. In this article the authors analyze five major trends that have emerged in education at global and individual levels in this period. These trends significantly influence traditional methods and approaches. According to the authors, they can be an indicator of the shift to a new paradigm in education.
The article examines the place of graphic design in modern post-industrial society, extending beyond purely applied art and aspiring to play the role of an expert in the interiors of human existence, ...determining the social and cultural status of an individual. It is argued that graphic design, organically integrating into contexts and actively responding to the challenges of such a social-decorative phenomenon as fashion, plays a significant role in shaping taste culture. This attests to the multiplicity of ambivalent cultural manifestations of graphic design. Special attention is given to identifying the functional potential of graphic design in creating cross-cutting trends that, through non-verbal means of communication, can form and maintain social and cultural unity. In connection with this, an analysis of graphic design is carried out through the prism of philosophical communication, allowing the identification of graphic design as the most effective practice of nonverbal communication and information visualization in post-industrial society. It is determined that graphic design is capable not only of generating new meanings but also of creating communicative gaps. Given this specificity, the article particularly focuses on identifying the educational and upbringing potential of graphic design. It is demonstrated that the process of creating visual images and their subsequent interpretation by consumers of graphic information depends not only on the aesthetic taste, ethical beliefs, and humanistic orientation of the designer (visualizer) but also on their educational and upbringing potential. The necessity of strengthening humanistic orientations in modern Ukrainian design and art education is emphasized.
The lack of association between wealth and fertility in contemporary industrialized populations has often been used to question the value of an evolutionary perspective on human behaviour. Here, we ...first present the history of this debate, and the evolutionary explanations for why wealth and fertility (the number of children) are decoupled in modern industrial settings. We suggest that the nature of the relationship between wealth and fertility remains an open question because of the multi-faceted nature of wealth, and because existing cross-sectional studies are ambiguous with respect to how material wealth and fertility are linked. A literature review of longitudinal studies on wealth and fertility shows that the majority of these report positive effects of wealth, although levels of fertility seem to fall below those that would maximize fitness. We emphasize that reproductive decision-making reflects a complex interplay between individual and societal factors that resists simple evolutionary interpretation, and highlight the role of economic insecurity in fertility decisions. We conclude by discussing whether the wealth–fertility relationship can inform us about the adaptiveness of modern fertility behaviour, and argue against simplistic claims regarding maladaptive behaviour in humans.

This article briefly discusses various definitions and concepts of the so-called information society. The term information society has been proposed to refer to the post-industrial society in which ...information plays a pivotal role. The definitions that have been proposed over the years highlight five underlying characterisations of an information society: technological, economic, sociological, spatial, and cultural. This article discusses those characteristics. While the emergence of an information society may be just a figment of one’s imagination, the concept could be a good organising principle to describe and analyse the changes of the past 50 years and of the future in the 21st century.
