This book was released on 2020-06-03 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Designing Public Spaces for Young People is a thorough and practical resource for all who wish to influence policy and design decisions in order to increase young people’s access to and use of public spaces, as well as their role in design and decision-making processes. The ability of youth to freely enjoy public spaces, and to develop a sense of belonging and attachment to these environments, is critical for their physical, social, cognitive, and emotional development. Young people represent a vital citizen group with legitimate rights to occupy and shape their public environments, yet they are often driven out of public places by adult users, restrictive bylaws, or hostile designs. It is also important that children and youth have the opportunity to genuinely participate in the planning of public spaces, and to have their needs considered in the design of the public realm. This book provides both evidence and tools to help effectively advocate for more youth-inclusive public environments, as well as integrate youth directly into both research and design processes related to the public realm. It is essential reading for researchers, design and planning professionals, community leaders, and youth advocates.

Download or read book Microplanning manual to guide implementation of preventive chemotherapy to control and eliminate neglected tropical diseases written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2022-09-05 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect more than 1 billion people globally, causing serious, long-term health effects. Timely, effective interventions such as preventive chemotherapy, which involves the regular administration of safe, effective medicines to a defined population irrespective of its infection status, reduce morbidity and mortality. The new NTD road map advocates preventive chemotherapy as a core intervention to reduce the burden of NTDs. Effective administration of preventive chemotherapy relies largely on operational planning which addresses the need for programmes to reach all eligible people and maximize community demand for the intervention. Local, bottom-up planning (“microplanning”) fosters effective implementation and monitoring of public health programmes. Originally, public health implementers developed microplanning for use in vaccination campaigns, but various programmes, including those for control and elimination of NTDs, now use it. This manual is based on these and other country experiences in microplanning of preventive chemotherapy for NTDs. It describes the basic concepts of microplanning and provides steps and examples of tools to develop and implement a microplan. Since microplanning originates at the lowest level of implementation, and is a bottom-up process, the main target audience of this manual is individuals who are responsible for oversight of preventive chemotherapy against NTDs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The definitive guide to a technology that succeeds or fails depending upon our ability to accommodate societal context and structures. This handbook is lucid, integrative, comprehensive and, above all, prescient in its interpretation of GIS implementation as a societal process." - Paul Longley, University College London "This is truly a handbook - a book you will want to keep on hand for frequent reference and to which GIS professors should direct students entering our field... Selection of a few of the chapters for individual attention is difficult because each one contributes meaningfully to the overall message of this volume. An important collection of articles that will set the tone for the next two decades of discourse and research about GIS and society." - Journal of Geographical Analysis Over the past twenty years research on the evolving relationship between GIS and Society has been expanding into a wide variety of topical areas, becoming in the process an increasingly challenging and multifaceted endeavour. The SAGE Handbook of GIS and Society is a retrospective and prospective overview of GIS and Society research that provides an expansive and critical assessment of work in that field. Emphasizing the theoretical, methodological and substantive diversity within GIS and Society research, the book highlights the distinctiveness and intellectual coherence of the subject as a field of study, while also examining its resonances with and between key themes, and among disciplines ranging from geography and computer science to sociology, anthropology, and the health and environmental sciences. Comprising 27 chapters, often with an international focus, the book is organized into six sections: Foundations of Geographic Information and Society Geographical Information and Modern Life Alternative Representations of Geographic Information and Society Organizations and Institutions Participation and Community Issues Value, Fairness, and Privacy Aimed at academics, researchers, postgraduates, and GIS practitioners, this Handbook will be the basic reference for any inquiry applying GIS to societal issues.

This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the way associations and the organization of local social life are intertwined is one of the oldest approaches to community study, the way citizens and residents come together informally to act and solve problems has rarely been a primary focus. Associations are central to important and developing areas of social theory and social action. This handbook takes voluntary associations as the starting point for making sense of communities. It offers a new perspective on voluntary organizations and gives an integrated, yet diverse, theoretical understanding of this important aspect of community life.
