Help In Time: An Evaluation Of Philadelphia's Community-Based Homelessness Prevention Program, Yin-Ling I. Wong, Meg Koppel, Dennis P. Culhane, Stephen Metraux, David E. Eldridge, Amy Hillier, Helen R. Lee
Dennis P. Culhane
This report provides an evaluation of Philadelphia's neighborhood-based homelessness prevention initiative. Results indicate that nearly all households served do not become homeless. But it is unclear if households would have become homeless had they not been served. Recommendations are made for targeting prevention interventions to families requesting shelter.

Nueva Concepción De Universidad Refleja Holograma, Fernando Carrión Mena
Nueva Concepción De Universidad Refleja Holograma, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
Tiene un contenido, yo diría, de mucha actualidad, de mucha coyuntura pero que no se queda en la coyuntura. Hay una reflexión estructural de la coyuntura, además una reflexión teórica. Creo que aquí habría que establecer una discusión para definir el carácter de la revista. Si es que este mismo quiere ser o, en su defecto, quiere especializarse en uno de estos campos.
La Descentralización En El Ecuador De Hoy: Sus Alternativas, Fernando Carrión Mena
La Descentralización En El Ecuador De Hoy: Sus Alternativas, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
El resurgimiento de la cuestión local en Ecuador tiene lugar a fines de la década del setenta y principios del ochenta. Serán la descentralización y la modernización las que pongan al orden del día, el debate sobre la reforma del Estado en el que está inscripto el terna de lo local.
De aquella época para acá, se pueden percibir dos etapas en el proceso de descentralización. Una primera, que se la podría caracterizar como la vía municipal de fortalecimiento de lo local, a partir de la transferencia de recursos y competencias, así como de la ampliación de su base social …
The Architecture Of Argostoli: A Venetian Colonial New Town, Nicholas Patricios
The Architecture Of Argostoli: A Venetian Colonial New Town, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
Argostóli, a Venetian new town on the Ionian Island of Kefallinía, provides an example of how architecture is shaped by cultural factors. Relevant factors in the context of the Venetian occupation of Kefallinía are the political, economic, social, and ecclesiastical ones. From 1500until 1797, Kefallinía and the other Ionian Islands remained a Venetian colony. During these three centuries the Islands formed the boundary between the eastern and western worlds. While most of Greece fell under Turkish rule, the Ionian Islands were exposed to western culture through Venice. Argostóli became the new capital in 1757. The new colonial capital had no …

Comunidad Andina, Fernando Carrión Mena

En América Latina, hay que señalar que el proceso de descentralización se inicia a finales de la década del 70, principios del 80, cuando el proceso de redemocratización se afianza en la región, aunque empieza a tener sus resultados a fines de la década de los 80. Este proceso se caracteriza básicamente por tener dos fases. Una primera, que pone énfasis en los municipios como eje y fin de la descentralización, Este enfoque, a mi manera de ver y de otros investigadores que han estado trabajando el tema, produjo algunos problemas en la propia estructura del Estado Nacional. Por ejemplo, …

Fernando Carrión Mena
La descentralización implica una readecuación de las relaciones entre el Estado y la sociedad civil que se expresa en la transferencia de competencias, de un orden central a otro de carácter provincial o cantonal.

Revegetating Desert Plant Communities, David A. Bainbridge
Revegetating Desert Plant Communities, David A. Bainbridge
David A Bainbridge
Desert revegetation is possible but not easy. Careful attention to plant production (root:shoot), site prep, planting, irrigation and aftercare can lead to good survival even under extreme desert conditions. Cost per survivor is a critical consideration.

Soil pitting provides many benefits in ecological restoration of degraded lands. The pits capture rainwater, trap seeds and soil symbionts and protect seedlings from windblast.
Behind The Scenes In Wonderland: Re-Assessing Curitiba's Planning Model, Clara Irazabal
Behind The Scenes In Wonderland: Re-Assessing Curitiba's Planning Model, Clara Irazabal
Clara Irazabal
Curitiba, Brazil, a metropolis of 2.4 million inhabitants in the southern state of Parana, has demonstrated a rapid improvement in urban quality over the last thirty-five years. The city has drawn worldwide recognition for its achievements and today is regarded by many as a model of urban planning and management. Yet, while some of Curitiba's successful strategies have received well-deserved attention, this ecological "wonderland" still faces some major challenges. A critical reassessment of the city is due, specificallY with regard to the characteristics of the planning model it offers and the role that citizens have played as this model has …

La Ciudad, Escenario De Comunicación, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
En septiembre de 1998, FLACSO y la Fundacion Friedrich Ebert organizaron el seminario "Ciudad, comunicación v construcción de ciudadanía", cuya finalidad fue examinar el entrelazado juego de relaciones que distintos actores despliegan sobre un escenario común: la ciudad.
Los temas, interpretaciones y debates surgidos en este seminario son los que ahora se recogen en esta compilación.
Las contribuciones incorporadas en esta obra, ilustran algunos de los temas que preocupan y que, a nuestro juicio deberían preocupar a los investigadores de la cultura urbana, de la comunicación y de la ciudadanía. No hemos pretendido presentar una muestra exhaustiva ni plenamente representativa …
The Persistence Of The Open Flame: Work And Waste In The Healthy, Modern Home, William Braham
The Persistence Of The Open Flame: Work And Waste In The Healthy, Modern Home, William Braham
William W. Braham
Historical accounts of the modern house report the progressive elimination of work as the household evolved from a site of production to one of consumption. Ruth Cowan has explored the ironies of that development, demonstrating that women of the late twentieth century actually engage in “more work” than their predecessors despite such labor-saving tools as the vacuum cleaner, microwave, and automobile. In contrast to both claims, there are other versions of this tale that glorify the waste of time, labor or energy. The modern household contains numerous sites and occasions where the inefficient and laborious are specifically cultivated in the …
Correalism And Equipoise: Observations On The Sustainable, William Braham
Correalism And Equipoise: Observations On The Sustainable, William Braham
William W. Braham
Modern environmentalism originates with the recognition of ecological connectivity and the negative effects of technological intervention. This paper examines critical concepts developed by the architect Frederick Kiesler and the critic-historian Sigfried Giedion for their relevance to that discourse. Kiesler's principle of Correalism and Giedion's appeal for Equipoise offer both a prehistory to the current mandates about sustainability and cautions about its limitations. The sustainable is ultimately a social condition that cannot be applied therapeutically nor ever wholly institutionalized
A Wall Of Books: The Gender Of Natural Colors In Modern Architecture, William Braham
A Wall Of Books: The Gender Of Natural Colors In Modern Architecture, William Braham
William W. Braham
This essay examines a decorative convention-the display of books in modern interiors-that appears in both The International Style (1932) by Henry Russel Hitchcock and Philip Johnson and The Personality of a House (1930) by Emily Post. Looking at books in this way constitutes a partial history of the architectural palette that arises from the privileging of natural over applied finishes. The internal logic of that practice and its class and gender characterizations are discussed in the context of the separation of architecture from interior design. The "natural" palette and its host of attendant conventions is everywhere visible in contemporary architecture …
