Placemaking as a practice
tbrelagePlace-making practices refer to the ways in which people create and define physical spaces as meaningful and significant through their everyday activities and social interactions.[1] In Ethnography, the study of these practices is often referred to as ‘ethnography as place-making,’ which involves the exploration of the cultural meanings and practices that shape the physical and social environments in which people live. This can include examining how people create and maintain social boundaries, how they express their identities and values through the built environment,[2] and how they negotiate power and control over the spaces they inhabit.
This place in Gröpelingen is made a place through the interaction of the people tending to the urban gardening project.

EiJ Ethylene Oxide
LaurenEthylene Oxide had been used as a fumigation insecticide to sterilize food, medical facilities and equipment. Currently ethylene oxide continues to be used and produced in the manufacturing processes of many commercial products, sterilizations, and insecticides. One of its major uses is as an intermediate in the production of ethylene glycol and other industrial chemicals. As noted by the CDC in the Toxicological review of ethylene glycol they note “in 1937, the direct oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide followed by hydrolysis to ethylene glycol”. Ethylene glycol is used in a variety of consumer products including paint, plastics, brake fluids, inks, cosmetics, etc. Ethylene glycol is additionally used to manufacture polyethylene terephthalate, used to produce disposable plastic bottles. The trickle down use of ethylene oxide in a series of additional manufacturing processes make it a valuable and versatile chemical in the production of a variety of consumer goods.

tamar.rogoszinskiWhile this study does not address vulnerable populations, per say, it does study cancer in patients under the age of 20, which can be considered a vulnerable population as they were young when the disaster occurred.

Sara_NesheiwatThe study addresses vulnerable populations by initially focusing on youths that were in the vicinity of the Fukushima disaster at the time of the event. These subjects are vulnerable due to their proximity to the nuclear disaster, but also due to their age and the fact that they are still developing, causing them to be at more risk.

Alexi MartinThis study addresses vulnerable popoulations because it centers around third world countries that are affected by natural disasters. It also supports the need for preparation for natural disasters. It addresses these populations by stressing the need to see the connection of those who cannot have access to clean water, food, etc in certain situations.

Andreas_RebmannThe entire study is focused on vulnerable populations – particularly those who due to racial or economic divides, do not have proper access to healthcare, or may be affected by factors such as poor housing and malnutrition.
