This study contributes to that literature by examining residents’ reporting of activities they do to create, maintain, and protect the urban forest in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), and the association of this involvement with blight measures. Using binary logistic regression, we found that urban forest engagement did not mediate egregious blight conditions but did reduce the presence of litter. Rather, residence in predominantly African American communities was the most consistent predictor of more substantial indicators of blight. Except for litter, these are overwhelming conditions, often involving absentee property owners.

Scholars have identified climate change denial as a factor in thwarting policy responses to climate change. We examine new forms of climate change denial that are critical to recognize as the general public and policy-makers consider actions to limit warming. Here we apply a Marxist conception of ideology to broaden our understanding of climate denialism (Marx & Engels, 1977). We introduce the concept of “ideological denialism,” which conceals underlying contradictions and perpetuates the current social order. The ideological denial of climate change involves recognizing climate change as a problem, yet fails to diagnose the root causes and prescribes solutions that maintain the current system. We argue that ideological denialism typically stems from a failure to recognize a growth-dependent economic system as a root driver of climate change. We examine degrowth as a possible means to reorganize social relations with potential to more effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global warming.","PeriodicalId":46896,"journal":{"name":"Human Ecology Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47794126","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}

Schooneveldt","doi":"10.22459/HER.25.01.2019.07","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22459/HER.25.01.2019.07","url":null,"abstract":"This paper reports on a developing theoretical frame for human ecology. It is based on the archetypal conceptual frames or contexts that underpin all scientific endeavors and draws on the new powerful techniques of semantic analysis. There are three archetypal scientific frames that have emerged since the Enlightenment, referred to here as the mechanistic, systemic, and interactive frames respectively. These three frames are conceptually distinct and each involves different levels of analysis. Each also operates with its own fundamental units: things (substantives or nouns) in the case of the mechanistic frame, processes (actions through time or verbs) in the case of the systemic frame, and events (experienced qualitatively) in the case of the interactive frame. All three frames are equally important for developing scientific understanding, but they are often confused in the scientific literature. Semantic analysis enables human ecologists to unscramble such confusion by drawing on the concept of archetypal meaning (sometimes referred to as the core or invariant meaning) and by defining and elaborating variations in meaning rigorously through the use of a natural semantic metalanguage (NSM). In addition, semantic analysis enables researchers to analyze the way motile organisms internalize their experiences by mapping the conceptual frame that they have internalized and use to make sense of those experiences. Traditionally, ecology and especially human ecology has been concerned with the interactions of organisms with each other and with their environment or context. It is argued that the interactive frame offers better explanations for evolution, creativity, and the experience of properties than the other two frames and provides a powerful explanatory frame for human ecology.","PeriodicalId":46896,"journal":{"name":"Human Ecology Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48989032","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}

I ask: In what ways does this transformation empower individuals to take advantage of subsequent reuse opportunities? Does the process by which the change takes place influence subsequent community engagement opportunities? I argue that how the spatial transformation is organized influences the potential environmental and social justice opportunities that can be created for community members, and thus its impact on the community dynamic of the defined space. For this analysis, I examine how the transformation of space affects human social interaction in a community which, historically, has been racially and economically marginalized. The development of the space was spurred by organizers who felt a public “pocket park” would add value to the community, as well as provide a space for social interaction to take place between community residents. Implemented with little engagement from community residents, I document the transformation of this space—and the positive and negative consequences of the transformation for residents—using participant observation, in-depth interviewing, and content analysis.","PeriodicalId":46896,"journal":{"name":"Human Ecology Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2019-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46993886","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}
