This study was conducted to determine the measures taken and tried to be taken by Şanlıurfa Metropolitan Municipality for the protection of common areas where everyone can freely enter and use and where consumption by users cannot be prevented. Case study, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the study. The sample group of the study consists of senior managers authorized to make decisions in Şanlıurfa Metropolitan Municipality. Within the scope of the research, interviews were conducted with senior managers in Şanlıurfa Metropolitan Municipality. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed in MAXQDA qualitative data analysis program. As a result of the study, it is understood that Şanlıurfa Metropolitan Municipality utilizes municipal personnel to a great extent in protecting common areas. In addition, on the one hand, it is emphasized that Şanlıurfa Metropolitan Municipality does not take clear deterrent measures for the protection of common areas, and on the other hand, the loss of importance of the rules of etiquette today compared to the past is seen as the reason for the destruction of common areas.

In its report published in 2021, the UNESCO International Commission on the Futures of Education invited the international community to forge a "new social contract for education" in order to repair past injustices and build a more equitable and sustainable planet. This new social contract should involve all education stakeholders and be governed by the principle of education as a common good. However, neither the concept of the new social contract nor the principle of education as a common good appear to be clearly defined in the 2021 UNESCO report, and this results in a lack of political discussion regarding the relationship among the institutions that should govern the new social contract for education. This article discusses the extent to which the notion of education as a common good provides the political framing for such a new social contract. It recalls the theoretical background of this concept and identifies some key areas that may be relevant to the discussion on the governance arrangements required to forge a new social contract for education with a view to revisiting existing hierarchies of power and strengthening democratic processes.

The decline in the number of consecrated men and, above all, women in catholic church, will lead in the coming years to an increase of abandoned ecclesiastical real estate assets and opportunities for re-functionalization. While churches owned by the dioceses have been catalogued in Italy since 2000, monasteries and convents owned by religious communities are still unknown in number and therefore results in a politics of valorization on a “case by case” scenario. However, this approach will begin to highlight possible replicable strategies: the meaning and the history of buildings allows for a recovery of a collective memory and to develop reuse strategies of former convents as common goods. This approach is exemplified by the actions taken on the former Augustinian Monastery of Vicopelago in Lucca, where the use of space and also building management interprets the previous monastic presence, reiterating the proto-democratic ways in which the community made decisions.

In IR and beyond, there is considerable debate about the ways global governance, the transnationalisation of publics, and changes in communication technologies have affected the interplay between publics and global politics. This debate is characterised by disagreements about how to conceptualise publics in the global realm—and whether or not they exist in the first place. We seek to contribute to this debate by disentangling the various meanings associated with publics in order to get a better grasp of how publics shape and are shaped by global politics. We do so in two steps. First, we distinguish four different manifestations of publics: audiences, spheres, institutions, and public interests. Second, we identify four key dynamics that affect the evolution and interplay of these manifestations in global politics: the distinction between public and private, changes in communications technologies, the politics of transparency, and the need to legitimise global governance. These interrelated dynamics reshape the publicness of global politics while sustaining the plurality of the publics that partake in it.

Economic activity is linked, in addition to other production factors, to the use of natural resources. For the inhabitants of the rural regions and communities of Mexico, their coexistence is essential based on the various types of property, including that of common goods. The work uses relative data from the National Agrarian Registry and uses a qualitative and quantitative methodology. The objective is to reflect on the importance of these assets, given that their existence is contemplated in the legislation. The hypothesis is that the development agenda will not be complete if it does not contain the aspects of sustainability. The results show the lack of public support, but also the undervaluation of these spaces. It is concluded that it is essential to promote care practices for these natural resources, for which existing regulations must be enforced [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work is the result of two years of research and fieldwork in the Appia Antica Park in Rome, based on the participatory processes that have stratified over time in the area, contributing to dynamics of re-signification. Using the modern cartographic instruments, this contribution aims to hypothesise future scenarios for the protection of the landscape in its natural, historical, cultural and identitarian components. The results obtained have highlighted links and conflicts between local communities and institutions. Furthermore, it allowed to analyze the main research about participatory practices, connecting them with the reflections about the use of cartography to systematise local knowledge, to hypothesize a management of common goods in the Aqueducts area.

In this study, we seek to examine the success factors of the classical common goods of various capitalist economies and to apply them to diverse platforms that appear as new common goods. Our research question is as follows: Are there any common success factors that can be applied to produce and use common goods across economic conditions? With the goal of identifying the grounded theory of common goods, the study employed the interview method using a semi-structured questionnaire. Furthermore, it conducted participatory observation and a literature review of case studies as well as a comparative study of 20 Korean commons and 20 Italy commons. According to cases of common goods in Jeju, South Korea, the coupling effects of several public policies could motivate the privatization of common goods. Second, an empty area in common goods consists of a high level of participation with democratization and a low level of common condition. High participation with democratization can avoid privatization and increase new open business models of common goods. Third, active open innovation with a high participation in democratization and expansion of new business models based on tacit knowledge of common goods could be the activating engine of regional innovation systems.

Catholic social teaching (CST) has shown little interest in structural and social forces that impact negatively on the dignity and flourishing of women. Such inattention diminishes CST's credibility and neglects its liberative potential. This article examines an area of structural violence against women, the social reality of prostitution, to illuminate the imperative to expand normative CST to address specific experiences of women. Given the inadequacy of the Catechism's treatment of prostitution as an area of personal moral failing, a reading which fails to understand how cultural and legislative structures bear down on women's freedom and agency, a task for CST emerges. When CST principles are brought into dialogue with empirical attention to women's experience of prostitution, the tradition stands in solidarity with those who inhabit an existential and social periphery. The article argues that CST perspectives should nudge the Catholic Church towards proposing an abolitionist ethic in relation to prostitution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• Inward student mobility in China contributes simultaneously to individual goods and common goods at various scales (i.e., institutional, national, and global). • The relations between individual and common goods and between common goods at various scales are in general reciprocal, though there also exist tensions in this regard that need to be addressed. • Particularly, the participants hold views of the positive-sum relation between national and global common goods and a win-win situation of home and host countries of international students. • Chinese governments and universities demonstrate a strong commitment to (global) common goods. • The common good idea is a more useful and effective lens to study the development, practices, and ideas of inward student mobility in China, than the dominant neoliberal and nationalist approaches. This paper examines inward student mobility in China through the lens of common good, supplemented by cultural diplomacy, exploring its national and global impacts. Through document analysis of 15 policies and interviews with 15 university administrators and international students, this study demonstrates the multidimensional, participatory, interactive and beneficial features of inward student mobility, which yields a wide range of individual, institutional, national and global goods. Four global common goods are identified, including the cultivation of global citizens, expansion of global scientific networks, wider sharing of educational resources, increased cultural exchanges and deeper mutual understandings. National common goods, such as improved policies and practices, positive effects on economy, the expansion of countries' and cities' international influences, as well as talent resources and mutual cooperation networks, are also highlighted, with links to cultural diplomacy. However, challenges remain, including the gap between policy and practice, integration issues for international students, and the uneven distribution of resources and opportunities. Despite these, the study concludes that inward student mobility holds potential for reciprocal benefits at multiple levels, though further alignment between policies and practices is needed to enhance global common goods.

Why do people often exhaust unregulated common (shared) natural resources but manage to preserve similar private resources? To answer this question, in this study we combine a neurobiological, economic and cognitive modeling approach. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging on 50 participants, we show that a sharp decrease of common and private resources is associated with deactivation of the ventral striatum, a brain region involved in the valuation of outcomes. Across individuals, when facing a common resource, ventral striatal activity is anticorrelated with resource preservation (less harvesting), whereas with private resources the opposite pattern is observed. This indicates that neural value signals distinctly modulate behavior in response to the depletion of common vs private resources. Computational modeling suggested that overharvesting of common resources was facilitated by the modulatory effect of social comparison on value signals. These results provide an explanation of people's tendency to over-exploit unregulated common natural resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is a bibliometric review based on the scientific production on the management of common goods, in an interlocution with property rights with data from the Web of Science (WOS) in the period 1945 to 2020. The outcome returned 231 papers that, after applying filters and excluding the papers from 2020, was reduced to 146. Using CiteSpace software, the data were analyzed using 12 categories. The results show that the field is new, but with a growing number of interest, as it has been debated in the academic world and the research has echoed in the Goverment & Law category, which points to the need for a future study to deepen the research through an integrative review.

Digital technologies provide a convenient way for the public to participate in environmental governance. Therefore, by means of a two-stage evolutionary model, a new mechanism for promoting public cooperation is proposed to accomplish environmental collaborative governance. Interactive effects of government–enterprise environmental governance are firstly explored, which is the external atmosphere for public behaviour. Second, the evolutionary dynamics of public behaviour is analysed to reveal the internal mechanism of the emergence of public cooperation in environmental collaborative governance projects. Simulations reveal that the interaction of resource elements between government and enterprise is an important basis for environmental governance performance, and that governments can improve this as well as public cooperation by increasing the marginal governance propensity. Similarly, an increase in the government's fixed expenditure item of environmental governance can also significantly improve government–enterprise performance and public cooperation. And finally, the effect of government's marginal incentive propensity on public environmental governance is moderated by enterprises' marginal environmental governance propensity, so that simply increasing the government's marginal incentive propensity cannot improve the evolutionary stable state of public behaviour under the scenario where enterprises’ marginal environmental governance propensity is low.

In an apparently paradoxical or contradictory way, our new century seems to show two trends: on the one hand, an increasingly informal, disorganized, oftentimes violent spate of uprisings, and on the other hand, a growing exploitation of legal strategies. Given these developments, how do we rethink the relationship between social struggles and law? This article employs a casuistic approach in order to explore current modes of interconnections between law and society. It argues that law is that language that through the institution of norms gives shape to the world of social relations. Through this same language, law performs actions in this world that it institutes through its categories. This piece also proposes a technical understanding of the concept of legal mobilization and argues that the innovative use of legal technique (rather than a political grammar) and the institutions of social cooperation could be seen as elements that re-describe and re-signify legal mobilization.

Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the digital eco-activism on social networks and recognize when digital activism turns into civil actions. The focus of the paper will be primarily on the case study of the Facebook group "Rijeke Bosne i Hercegovine - budi promjena" (The Rivers of Bosnia and Herzegovina - Be the Change), with special reference to the limitations caused by the operation of Facebook algorithms and the Rules of use of this social network. Methodology. For the analysis of the Facebook group "Budi promjena", which has 55,800 members, a period of two years was covered i.e., from the very foundation of the group (from February 2020 to March 2022) and a statistical review of the activities of the group from 1 July 2021 to 21 March 2022. Through the case study of the Facebook group, an insight was given into the background operation of both the Facebook algorithm and the constant changes and introduction of new rules and restrictions that ultimately had a negative impact on the group activities. The paper presents a theoretical analysis, as well as the analysis of data collected relevant to this paper. Using a comparative theoretical approach, a comparison will be made with similar digital activisms that have resulted in concrete civil actions along with applying the principles from the theory of common goods, which was founded by Elinor Ostrom, on the example of the "Be the change" group. Results. From the presentation of the status (Facebook insights) of the operation of the group "Rijeke Bosne i Hercegovine - budi promjena", the limiting factors of action that indicate the restrictiveness of the FB algorithm will be analyzed. The limiting factors that lead to lower spillover from digital to civic action are listed and it is examined whether the group meets the principles of commons, which is significant because it allows the group as a commons to be seen as a counter-mechanism or counterbalance to the limiting effects of Facebook's algorithms. Social Significance. This paper presents an example of good and innovative practice of digital activism in socio-ecological boundaries, showing how the management of digital tools can empower and limit civic action. Originality. The paper presents the so far unpublished data on the management of the FB group, which resulted in concrete civil actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The 2030 Agenda has influenced the design of public policies in Colombia and other countries in the region, but there are many gaps in the way a global policy can be interpreted and adapted to the territories. Thus, this article aims to critically evaluate the public policy of sustainability implemented in the Colombian Caribbean and to suggest contributions from an intercultural socioenvironmental justice perspective. For this purpose, the public policy of sustainability that orients the plans for the use of insular ecosystems in Cartagena de Indias has been examined and confronted with local evidence that shows significant changes in the forms of life and ecological degradation in multi-temporally analysed coverages. Methodologically, this research is based on three aspects: the theoretical discussion of the notions of sustainability and justice in public policies, spatial databases to analyse the transformation of landscapes and ethnographic work with Afro-descendant peoples to recognise their socioecological systems. We found that the public policy of territorial planning aligned with the 2030 Agenda nominally includes a rights approach, but management practices or governance structures do not consider the very high asymmetry in land tenure, the growing private and non-participatory regulation of coasts and the sea or the exclusion of Afro-descendant peoples who claim tenure and autonomy rights. Then, we propose integrated dimensions of sustainability that overcome the socioecological negativity observed and articulate criteria of intercultural justice in public, social and environmental policies.

In this contribution, I reflect on the relationship between the ecological transition, sustainable development, and the protection and safeguarding of cultural and natural heritage. The environmental question and the heritagization processes have several aspects in common, starting with their emergence as supranational issues in late industrial societies, but they can also present areas of friction that allow the detection of development models, visions of the future, and different interests on goods and values at a local and national/global level, in contexts of socio-economic imbalances. To examine the issue, I analyze some socio-environmental conflicts in Sardinia (Italy), in which civic committees, movements, and associations act in defense of the common goods by opposing works (wind farms, drilling), projected toward a model of economic "development" which is considered "sustainable", based on the exploitation of relatively "clean" (methane) or renewable (wind) energy sources. In particular, this contribution examines the practices and the discursive strategies adopted by the parties involved, focusing attention on the different ways of using environmental issues, and those related to heritage.

We present the scientific results of the call for papers in SEPS titled 'Decision-Making Models for Common Goods in Environmental, Health, and Logistics Contexts.' As guest editors in Socio-economic Planning Sciences (SEPS), we describe the domain of our academic initiative and present the collected papers. Interestingly, our collection includes papers employing various methodologies such as multi-criteria decision making, game theory, operations research, microeconomics, computational models and insurance mathematics. We received more than fifty submissions from Asia, Europe and America. However, only thirteen papers were accepted for publication in SEPS. This demonstrates the extensive investigation of the problem of common goods and the ongoing academic debate surrounding it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In their defence of the school Jan Masschelein and Maarten Simons define it as a source of 'free time.' Drawing on Catherine Malabou's compelling reading of Heidegger in her The Heidegger Change, I aim to provide a strong ontological justification for the claims made on behalf of the school concerning free time, common goods, and renewing (changing) the world: the school provides free time; it transforms knowledge and skills into common goods; and it has the potential to give everyone the time and space to renew the world. The paper enquires into what 'free time as non‐productive time,' 'common goods,' and 'changing the world' mean on an ontological register, and why therefore the school is so precious and warrants our utmost care in the face of its conservative and progressive critics alike. I discern a single underlying notion, the notion of essence as mutability, constituting the link connecting free time, common goods, and renewal of the world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article proposes to characterize the forms of conflict that oppose, particularly since 2018 in France, citizen and activist collectives to projects for the location of industrial activities in the economic sectors of digital platforms and leisure complexes. We situate these projects within the framework of private and public territorial development strategies conceived according to the paradigm of the creative economy. We have identified fifteen contemporary conflicts on the national territory related to construction projects of logistic sites for e-commerce or leisure complexes presented as having a cultural and creative dimension. We articulated a socio semiotic analysis of a corpus of press articles and institutional communiqués related to these conflicts with the realization of about thirty interviews with the local actors concerned. We will first show that these conflicts consist of an opposition between different perceptions and conceptions of spaces, at different scales; as such, they are part of a local geopolitics for the control of territories. Beyond local singularities, these phenomena have in common that they confront a set of practices established within public and private institutions with other paradigms of socio-economic development of the territories, claimed by the opponents of these projects. These conflicts concern both values and beliefs that opponents consider “outdated” or incompatible with the major contemporary societal issues (environment, social inequalities, taxation) and the very methods of managing public decisions. To a logic of the Public/Private contract, often covered by secrecy and which tends to invisibilize local socio-economic specificities for the benefit of a global harmonization, is thus opposed a process of construction of common goods, which rests on the articulation of multiple spatial scales. After having characterized the forms of organization and action of the actors concerned by these conflicts, we propose a model of these multiscalar politicization phenomena based on locally anchored contestations.
