“…The skill required to create “plausibility” for plans and visions can demonstrate the shifting of political questions into technical ones, a notion of practice that denies professional expertise as value-free (Milroy 1989). The role of professional expertise in justifying specific strategies, such as the problematizing of certain behaviors and users as described by Ruppert (2006) in her analysis of the processes that shaped Yonge-Dundas Square, also call into question claims to neutrality. Indeed, while some planners have seen themselves as “technicians”—that is, objective and neutral in their expertise—others acknowledge the political side of their work and must deal with the conflicts inherent in these two positions (Howe 1980).…”

This research assesses how professional expertise is constructed and deployed by public and private sector practitioners. In-depth case studies of urban design projects in two cities with differing local government capacities are used to critically examine professional expertise. The study finds that the expertise of consultants was portrayed as more creative and innovative, less constrained by bureaucratic and political contexts, and more knowledgeable of market conditions. In contrast, descriptions of public employee expertise often focused on regulatory knowledge. This study analyzes the relationship between limited public sector capacity and these constructions of expertise—and the implications for professional practices.

“…La cercanía y, en algunos casos, el solapamiento de estos conceptos puede crear confusión (Chow & Healey, 2008; Hernandez et al, 2007; Jorgensen & Stedman, 2006; Pred, 1983), y el sentido del lugar ( sense of place , SDL) parece ser el concepto más global (Jorgensen & Stedman, 2001; Shamai, 1991). En efecto, se ha empleado como base en numerosos estudios con distintas poblaciones, en particular las anglófonas, francófonas e hispanófonas, arrojando luz sobre temas relacionados con la salud (Lengen & Kistemann, 2012), la conservación (Ardoin, 2014; Kudryavtsev et al, 2012), la planificación (Billig, 2005; Jivèn & Larkham, 2003), la economía (Ruppert, 2006), la inmigración (Rozenholc, 2014), y la gestión del riesgo (Kaltenborn, 1998).…”

“…The closeness and, in some cases, overlap between these concepts can create confusion (Chow & Healey, 2008; Hernandez et al, 2007; Jorgensen & Stedman, 2006; Pred, 1983), and Sense of Place (SOP) appears to be the most over-arching concept (Jorgensen & Stedman, 2001; Shamai, 1991). It has indeed been used as the foundation for numerous studies in anglophone, francophone and hispanophone populations in particular, and has shed light on issues involving health (Lengen & Kistemann, 2012), preservation (Ardoin, 2014; Kudryavtsev et al, 2012), planning (Billig, 2005; Jivèn & Larkham, 2003), economics (Ruppert, 2006), immigration (Rozenholc, 2014) and risk management (Kaltenborn, 1998).…”

Sense of place as an attitude: length of residence, landscape values and personal involvement in relation to a brief version of the Jorgensen and Stedman (2001) sense of place scale (El sentido de lugar como actitud: tiempo de residencia, valores paisajísticos, e implicación personal en la versión breve de la Escala de Sentido de Lugar de Jorgensen y Stedman, 2001)

Sense of Place (SOP) can be defined as an attitude towards places, expressed through affective, cognitive and behavioural responses that can be operationalized using the SOP scale. However, this scale has not been explored in relation to factors of people-place bonds such as length of residence, personal involvement and landscape values. We conducted three studies to explore these factors in different populations, while also contributing to the validation of a reduced version of the scale. Study 1 (N = 184) focused on its latent structure through EFA; study 2 (N = 138) examined its links to length of residence and landscape values, and analysed data fit through CFA; study 3 (N = 58) examined links between SOP, length of residence, landscape values and personal involvement, and the scale's temporal stability. Results indicate a link between SOP and length of residence, personal involvement and some landscape values. They also support the validity of the reduced version of the scale as a unidimensional attitudinal construct, thus rendering it available for deployment in francophone samples. RESUMENEl sentido del lugar (sense of place, SDL) se puede definir como una actitud hacia los lugares, expresada a través de respuestas afectivas, cognitivas y conductuales que se pueden operativizar empleando la escala SDL. Sin embargo, no se han explorado las posibilidades de esta escala respecto a los factores que expresan los vínculos entre las personas y los lugares, como el tiempo de residencia, la implicación personal, y los valores paisajísticos. Llevamos a cabo tres estudios para explorar estos factores en distintas poblaciones, a la par que contribuíamos a validar una versión reducida de la escala. El estudio 1 (N = 184) se centró sobre su estructura latente, empleando el análisis factorial exploratorio; el estudio 2 (N = 138) examinó los ARTICLE HISTORY

“…This by-law did not materialise because the city was well aware that panhandling could not be banned as a whole. Additionally, in order to ban or regulate squeegeeing, the city would need to construct squeegeeing as a nuisance, but do so in a precise manner that articulated how this was so (Ruppert, 2006, pp. 71–76).…”

Refashioning vagrancy: a tale of Law's narrative of its imagination

This paper explicates the relation between vagrancy and public disorder, a relation constituted by a dialecticism that is at once (dis)continuous and (dis)connected. This relationship is important not only to appreciate the place of public disorder vis-à-vis contemporary urban public space and social life, but historical vagrancy as well. The paper examines the refashioning of vagrancy, paying attention to the semantic legal reformatting of its constitution and how this process permits the regulation of essentially the same historical problems and concerns by translating them into legally sound language, visible in the shift from vagrancy to public disorder. This shift was necessary not simply to preserve the vestiges of vagrancy, now conspicuous in public disorder, but for the preservation of the images of, and imaginations about, Law, including its claims to justice. Loosely taking its cue from the visual culture movement which pays homage to the place of images in the ordering of the social world, the paper invokes (and, then, conflates) the concepts of image and imagination and explicates the manner in which the images of, and imaginations about, Law spearheaded the transmutation of the legal category of vagrancy by re-imagining the vagrant, a re-imagining which itself was the product not just of the Law's imagination, but, imaginations about the Law as well. The paper concludes by locating the place of the image and imagination to propounding a narrative of, and about, Law.
