商品描述

This book explores small town geographical aspects by approaching them from a socio-spatial perspective. The contributions included in this book delve into a range of topics that have not been commonly studied before, such as white privilege, neglect of municipal infrastructure, collaborative governance, livelihoods in small-scale fisheries, housing provision, well-being in mining towns, studentification in rural contexts, election trends, and the historical development of small-town spas.

The book adopts a socio-spatial point of view, providing a holistic understanding of the interplay between social and spatial factors within selected small town case studies. This approach sheds light on the socio-economic, political, and cultural dynamics that shape small towns. This localized perspective allows for a more targeted analysis of issues and potential solutions, taking into account the specific historical, cultural, and political contexts of small town South Africa. The editedvolume serves as a valuable resource for academics, policymakers, practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding and improving small towns in South Africa.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書從社會空間的角度探討小鎮的地理特徵。書中所包含的貢獻深入探討了一系列之前不常研究的主題，例如白人特權、市政基礎設施的忽視、協作治理、小規模漁業的生計、住房供應、礦業城鎮的福祉、鄉村背景下的學生化、選舉趨勢以及小鎮溫泉的歷史發展。

本書採用社會空間的觀點，提供對所選小鎮案例研究中社會與空間因素相互作用的整體理解。這種方法揭示了塑造小鎮的社會經濟、政治和文化動態。這種地方化的視角使得對問題及潛在解決方案的分析更加具針對性，考慮到南非小鎮特定的歷史、文化和政治背景。這本編輯的著作對學者、政策制定者、實務工作者以及任何對理解和改善南非小鎮感興趣的人來說，都是一個寶貴的資源。
