City tourism in the Namibian capital had thus become, at quite an early point in time, part of the trend towards utilising poor urban areas for purposes of tourism - a trend that set in at the beginning of the same decade. Frequently referred to as "slum tourism" or "poverty tourism", the phenomenon of guided tours around places of poverty has not only been causing some media sensation and much public outrage since its emergence; in the past few years, it has developed into a vital field of scientific research, too. "Global Slumming" provides the grounds for a rethinking of the relationship between poverty and tourism in world society. This book is the outcome of a study project of the Institute of Geography at the School of Cultural Studies and Social Science of the University of Osnabrueck, Germany. It represents the first empirical case study on township tourism in Namibia. It focuses on four aspects: 1. Emergence, development and (market) structure of township tourism in Windhoek 2. Expectations/imaginations, representations as well as perceptions of the township and its inhabitants from the tourist's perspective 3. Perception and assessment of township tourism from the residents' perspective 4. Local economic effects and the poverty-alleviating impact of township tourism The aim is to make an empirical contribution to the discussion around the tourism-poverty nexus and to an understanding of the global phenomenon of urban poverty tourism.}, language = {en} } @book{Ehebrecht2014, author = {Ehebrecht, Daniel}, title = {The challenge of informal settlement upgrading : Breaking new ground in Hangberg, Cape Town?}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-86956-300-8}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-71232}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {184}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Despite its many challenges and limitations the concept of in situ upgrading of informal settlements has become one of the most favoured approaches to the housing crisis in the 'Global South'. Due to its inherent principles of incremental in situ development, prevention of relocations, protection of local livelihoods and democratic participation and cooperation, this approach is often perceived to be more sustainable than other housing approaches that often rely on quantitative housing delivery and top down planning methodologies. While this study does not question the benefits of the in situ upgrading approach, it seeks to identify problems of its practical implementation within a specific national and local context. The study discusses the origin and importance of this approach on the basis of a review of international housing policy development and analyses the broader political and social context of the incorporation of this approach into South African housing policy. It further uses insights from a recent case study in Cape Town to determine complications and conflicts that can arise when applying in situ upgrading of informal settlements in a complex local context. On that basis benefits and limitations of the in situ upgrading approach are specified and prerequisites for its successful implementation formulated.}, language = {en} } @book{UhlenwinkelKrauseHalmanetal.2012, author = {Uhlenwinkel, Anke and Krause, Uwe and Halman, Loek and Rokven, Josja and Sieben, Inge and Pažick{\´y}, Michal and Blahušiakov{\´a}, Andrea and R{\"o}per-K{\"u}hnemann, Christian and Staufenbiel, Christoph and Voz{\´a}rov{\´a}, Hana and Hintze, Katarina and Ivaška, Michal and Kallenbach, Ren{\´e} and Majer, Zdenko and R{\"o}ll, Juliane and Pisarč{\´i}k, Stanislav and Weiser, Ines and Seeger, Anett and Strehmann, Anja and Chovanov{\´a}, Katarina and Gembick{\´y}, Kamil and Nern, Luise and Cornelissen, Sebastiaan and Turgut, Pelin and Knoops, Femke and Erbil, Fethiye and Ert{\"u}rk, Mustafa and Akpinar, Seda and Maas, Desiree and Rooth, Anneke and Azar, Elif Zeynep and Erd{\"o}nmez, {\c{C}}ağlayan and Verscheijden, Desir{\´e}e and Altuntas, Kezban and Ak{\c{c}}ay, Pinar and Kools, Suzanne and Schnabel, Richard and van den Beemt, Martijn and {\c{C}}inkaya, Muhammed and Erdem, Didem Tuğ{\c{c}}e and Janssen, Robert}, title = {Teaching about the religious values of Europeans : critical reflections from the second student exchange of the EVE-project}, editor = {Uhlenwinkel, Anke}, isbn = {978-3-86956-175-2}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-59010}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The European Values Education (EVE) project is a large-scale, cross-national, and longitudinal survey research programme on basic human values.
