This paper describes the development and results of the pedagogical photo-based method PhotoReflexivity. This method is designed to support reflexivity for students in design education, which guides them in better understanding and situating themselves in the outside world. To uncover the value of this method, mixed research methods including iterative prototypes were deployed in real-world learning scenarios with design students. Attitudes, behaviour, and reflexive conversations were analysed, from which design patterns and recommendations were derived. It is argued that PhotoReflexivity fills a gap in design education by aiming for extensive and transformational outcomes associated with reflexivity, which previous research has considered hard to achieve. It does so by providing pragmatic technologies and materials to support 1) sharing and collaboration, and 2) verbalising reflexive thoughts. By facilitating reflexivity, students might become more autonomous and responsible design professionals.

In deze studie wordt het stadsdeel Oost van Amsterdam onderzocht. Het krachtwijkonderzoek is een onderdeel van een reeks van projecten van de afgelopen 4 jaar vanuit het onderzoek van het lectoraat Meervoudig Intensief Ruimtegebruik, binnen het onderzoeksprogramma ‘De Stad’ Domein Techniek van de Hogeschool van Amsterdam. Op basis van de aanduiding ‘Vogelaarwijk’ zijn intensive investeringen en sociaal economische programma’s uit gezet voor het verbeteren van dat type wijken. Het is wonderlijk te kunnen spreken van vitale steden terwijl tegelijk delen van die steden onder de categorie krachtwijk vallen. Tegelijk is uit recent evaluatieonderzoek gebleken dat met name die sociaal-economische investeringen nauwelijks een duurzame verbetering hebben opgeleverd. Wij vinden dat geen onlogische conclusie daar wij er door ons onderzoek van overtuigd zijn dat deze wijken grote fysiek ruimtelijke tekortkomingen hebben waardoor deze wijken uiteindelijk tot krachtwijk zijn geworden.

Species responding differently to climate change form ‘transient communities’, communities with constantly changing species composition due to colonization and extinction events. Our goal is to disentangle the mechanisms of response to climate change for terrestrial species in these transient communities and explore the consequences for biodiversity conservation. We review spatial escape and local adaptation of species dealing with climate change from evolutionary and ecological perspectives. From these we derive species vulnerability and management options to mitigate effects of climate change. From the perspective of transient communities, conservation management should scale up static single species approaches and focus on community dynamics and species interdependency, while considering species vulnerability and their importance for the community. Spatially explicit and frequent monitoring is vital for assessing the change in communities and distribution of species. We review management options such as: increasing connectivity and landscape resilience, assisted colonization, and species protection priority in the context of transient communities.
