It focuses on how New Zealanders with disabilities and/or Māori are over-represented within the digital exclusion. It also implies that the spaces inhabited during the lockdown prioritize the needs of a fully able citizenry. The chapter discusses digital and associated technologies that extended the interpersonal space of the home beyond the physical confines of the domestic dwelling, drawing people together in digital spaces. It looks at everyday space that is typically designed by and for non-disabled people.","PeriodicalId":201569,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Community and Society","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121543825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explains how the infections are attributed to a pre-existing political economy that both spatially contains and socially marginalizes migrant workers. It also looks at a complex picture of migrant worker infection clusters that connected to a structural and institutional history of socio-spatial exclusion and economic marginalization. The chapter reviews the racial/migrant context of Singapore and policies aimed at the spatialization of difference. It examines the living and working conditions of migrant workmen in Singapore, which increases the prevalence of COVID-19 infections among the sub-population.","PeriodicalId":201569,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Community and Society","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116418092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines ‘hustling’ in Jamaica, which is a common practice of marginalized populations to capitalize on opportunities to earn an income in extreme economic landscapes. It further explains that hustling in Jamaica is a mobile, iterant, and unregulated activity that often involves street vending or picking up side jobs. It also considers effects of the first wave of the pandemic on hustling activities due to government lockdown measures in Jamaica. The chapter focuses on the informal labor market in relation to the ‘right to the city’ in the urban Global South. It questions traditional approaches to assessing poverty and proposes an alternative approach that captures a realistic insight surrounding the precarity of hustling and risks to poverty.","PeriodicalId":201569,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Community and Society","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121554729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It identifies specific challenges in smaller cities that lack the resources of larger ones to deal with challenges such as a pandemic. It also looks at the rapid-response research done during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic building on a larger project that was already examining food security and inequalities. The chapter delineates the challenges imposed by COVID-19 on food security in Noapara and identifies associated coping mechanisms undertaken by affected residents. It describes Noapara as a thriving city that has a national transportation road bisecting the city and railway that links the city to the rest of Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":201569,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1: Community and Society","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133908959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
