The first was published in volume 74(4), September 2020, and the second in volume 75(1), March 2021. The present special section contains two articles, one with a broad Nordic focus and the other dealing with Denmark while also making a brief comparison with Sweden. Arvo Peltonen (2021, this issue) discusses in his article the cartographical image of the European north as represented in Italian map galleries during the late Renaissance. He examines cycles of maps in mural atlases in three galleries dating to the period 1560s – 1580s: the Guardaroba nuova in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence; the SaladelMappamondo in thePalazzoFarnese,Caprarola; and the Terza loggia in the Palazzo Apostolico Vaticano, Rome. The map cycles reflect how the muralists satisfied their patrons’ objectives of presenting up-todate geographical information about the relatively little known north European periphery as well as on the region’s mirabilia (wonders, marvels, or curiosities). The galleries demonstrated the artistic and cartographical skills of leading architects, designers, cartographers, and muralists of the time. The galleries also served during the Counter-Reformation as practical and symbolic manifestations of an ideology aiming to reassert and express the supremacy of the ecclesiastical and secular potentates of the European core in Italy. Peltonen’s article demonstrates the influence of the exiled Swedish bishop Olaus Magnus (1490–1557), whose map, the Carta Marina of 1539, and description of the northern peoples (Magnus 1555) provided updated geographical knowledge of the European north and shaped the region’s cartographical image as depicted in the Italianmap galleries. Arvo Peltonen is a geographer with regional and urban planning, and tourism geography as his main research fields. From 1967 to 1996, he was at the University of Helsinki, where he wrote his doctoral thesis on the development of Finnish planning 1815–1970 (Peltonen 1982). From 1996 until his retirement in 2007, he worked at the University of Joensuu, where he was professor and director of the Finnish Network for Tourism Studies. Together with Kerkko Hakulinen, he has co-edited the proceedings of a seminar on the history of cartography and maintenance of cartographical archives (Hakulinen & Peltonen 1981). He has articles published in Finnish on Olaus Magnus and the late Renaissance Italian map galleries (Peltonen 2013; 2015). Stig Roar Svenningsen and Andreas Aagaard Christensen (2021, this issue) write on the development of cadastral cartography in Denmark and explore the representation of landscape on the enclosure maps of the communities of Brokøb By and Kajemose By in northwestern Zealand (Sjælland) from 1807 to 1942. They find that an initial landscape-oriented perspective on landed property changed over time to ","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89367045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mixed methods approach was adopted comprising a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews. Relationships were tested using Cramer’s V coefficient, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Kruskal-Wallis test. The analysis of perceptions of the community garden members did not confirm the dependence between the frequency of visits to community gardens and the gardens’ impact on the CG members’ communities. A further finding was that members of community gardens positively rated the relationships in those communities. The authors conclude that there was no evidence of statistical relationships between the variables in their analysed data set. The frequency with which the members visited community garden did not affect the results.","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73721744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, the Prague Metropolitan Area in Czechia has seen gradual changes in residential mobility patterns. While suburbanization remains the most significant type of residential change, other processes have emerged. The aim of the article is to examine changes in the residential mobility patterns of families with young children living in and moving between different residential zones in the Prague Metropolitan Area. Migration data relating to individuals are used to examine spatial and temporal shifts in mobility flows. Even though suburbs are still the main destination for families with young children, the authors identified a certain degree of diversification in residential behaviour. They conclude that this finding points to the emergence of reurbanization tendencies towards the housing estates and intensifying mobility within residential zones with housing that is similar in appearance.","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79953454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The anniversary has come at a time when the world is facing a wave of reflections on the injustices of colonialism. The article aims to contribute to this discussion and frame the history of Greenlandic dependence on Denmark, considering contemporary political development. For comparison, the authors refer to the Faroe Islands as an additional autonomous territory of the Danish realm. Greenland was a colony until 1953 and acquired autonomy in 1979, while the Faroe Islands have never been considered a colony and gained autonomy more than 30 years earlier (1948). To find further similarities and differences in the postcolonial realities in Greenland and the Faroe Islands, the authors compare both countries, using concepts from literature on postcolonialism. Their findings reveal that the number of differences between Greenlandic and Faroese postcolonial realities outweigh the discussed similarities. The authors conclude that the consequences of coloniality are more serious in Greenland. Furthermore, given Greenland's important strategic location in the Arctic region, Greenlanders should be more wary of world powers exploiting their country for economic profit.","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83021020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the topic grows in importance, research on immigrant entrepreneurship in Nordic contexts is joining these trends, but the unique settings of the region might have been neglected. Space and place underpin many explorations of immigrant entrepreneurship in the Nordic countries, from absolute conceptions of space and place to sensitive portraits of social complexity. Thus, the question the authors address is how space and place are articulated, presented, and interpreted within immigrant entrepreneurship literature in and about the Nordic context. From a systematic literature review of academic articles covering Nordic countries and immigrant entrepreneurship between 2000 and 2019, they found that space and place play a role in immigrant entrepreneurship in Nordic research. However, opportunities remain to engage theoretically with these concepts in order to develop research aimed at understanding immigrant entrepreneurship in the Nordic countries and contribute to a growing need to understand space and place in entrepreneurial activities generally. The authors conclude that there are five potential strategies for incorporating space and place in future research.","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77793681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gender and migrant integration are mainstreamed within EU policy, both seeking to increase labour market participation as a means to redress inequality. However, there are limited references to migrant women within gender equality or integration policies at the EU level. The study dissects a subset of migrant integration projects in Sweden – a country lauded for having Europe’s best integration policy while exhibiting the poorest results. The authors used non-participant observation and semi-structured interviews to identify pitfalls such as embedded stereotyping, undervaluation of cultural motivations, gender-washing, and methodological misalignment. Their findings show that gender and integration mainstreaming within the EU systematically position migrant women as a problem, despite the significantly important role they play within global labour markets. The authors conclude that migrant women may need to be included within gender and integration policy beyond the labour market.","PeriodicalId":46764,"journal":{"name":"Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift-Norwegian Journal of Geography","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80060445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
