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.
The European Values Education (EVE) project is a large-scale, cross-national, and longitudinal survey research program on basic human values. The main topic of its first stage was "work" in Europe. Student teachers of several universities in Europe worked together in multicultural exchange groups. Their results are presented in this issue.

Soziale Netzwerkanalyse für HumangeographInnen : Einführung in UCINET und NetDraw in fünf Schritten
(2013)
In den Sozialwissenschaften profiliert sich derzeit eine disziplinübergreifende Netzwerkforschung, die sich durch eine relationale Theorieperspektive auszeichnet. Die empirische Forschung greift dabei vermehrt auf das Methodenrepertoire der Social Network Analysis (SNA) zurück. Für die Humangeographie kann der soziologische Blick der Netzwerkforschung auf unterschiedliche Weise um „Raumbezüge“ ergänzt und in verschiedenen Forschungsfeldern zur Anwendung gebracht werden. Trotz ihres vielfältigen Potenzials nimmt die SNA in der geographischen Methodenausbildung in Deutschland bisher einen eher untergeordneten Stellenwert ein. Dieses Buch richtet sich an Studentinnen und Studenten, die sich für (humangeographische) empirische Netzwerkforschung interessieren und einen einfachen Einstieg suchen. Es führt verständlich in zentrale Fachbegriffe der SNA und die grundlegenden Funktionen der Analyse-Software UCINet ein. Von der Dateneingabe und -aufbereitung, über die Visualisierung bis hin zu netzwerkanalytischen Berechnungen werden die ersten Schritte vorgestellt und nachvollziehbar erläutert.
