Seguridad en el Hábitat: Mecanismos de regularización dominial: la experiencia del Omtit en el Barrio "El Campito" de Los Hornos, Partido de La Plata
El presente artículo se aboca a relatar las experiencias de trabajo realizadas por el Observatorio de Titulación Inmobiliaria como Garantía de una Vivienda Digna e Información Territorial (OMTIT) en la Facultad de Ciencias Jurídicas y Sociales de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, cuya misión es brindar asistencia a la comunidad en temas de titulación dominial y acceso a la vivienda. Se realiza un repaso histórico del escenario que dio origen a…

Queer Latinx Worldmakings: Geographies of Food, Love and Familia in Prison
This study illustrates how incarcerated Latinx people create alternative social worlds or queer worldmakings as they negotiate everyday life in prison. I explore how these queer Latinx worldmakings are created and lived through the formation of chosen families or familias and the organizing of family dinners. Latinx queer worldmakings are temporary productions of social worlds that facilitate navigating life in the present while being queer and L…
La Autorregulación y su Relación con el Apego en la Niñez
(analytical): the objective of the present article is to describe and compare empirical literature that investigates the relation between attachment and self-regulation in childhood. The analysis demonstrates that the methodological design and measurement technique used to evaluate both attachment and self-regulation have a significant affect on the results obtained. The time lapse between measurements affects results in longitudinal studies of b…
Using crowdsourced spatial data from Flickr vs. PPGIS for understanding nature's contribution to people in Southern Norway
Crowdsourced data can provide spatially explicit data on the contribution of nature to people. Spatial information is essential for effectively managing the diverse relationships that people have with nature, but the potential and limits of using crowdsourcing data to generate maps for conservation purposes need further research. Passive crowdsourcing tools include social media platforms where photos and user‐generated tags are shared among users…
Cause Lawyering and Compassionate Lawyering in Clinical Legal Education: The Case of Chile
In order to contribute from a situated perspective to a global narrative of access to justice, in the next sections I will trace the origins of compassionate and cause lawyering in the history of Chilean legal aid and training. Part II will explain how legal assistance to the poor was codified as a duty of legal professionals during the Middle Ages, in both canon law and in Castilian legislation. Part III will show that practical legal training, …
Efficient sampling for ecosystem service supply assessment at a landscape scale
Decision makers and stakeholders need high-quality data to manage ecosystem services (ES) efficiently. Landscape-level data on ES that are of sufficient quality to identify spatial tradeoffs, co-occurrence and hotspots of ES are costly to collect, and it is therefore important to increase the efficiency of sampling of primary data. We demonstrate how ES could be assessed more efficiently through image-based point intercept method and determine th…
Advantages and Limitations of Using Mobile Apps for Protected Area Monitoring and Management
Digital technologies, including participatory Internet mapping, social media and smartphones, provide new avenues for research in outdoor recreation and tourism. The potential to reach a greater audience and collect visitation data on a broader scale, with less costs than traditional paper surveys, are key advantages that have increased the use of these novel technologies. Using of mobile apps for data collection is still at the experimental stag…
Identifying spatial overlap in the values of locals, domestic- and international tourists to protected areas
Nature-based tourism is increasingly encouraged to support local socioeconomic development in and around protected areas, but managing protected areas for tourism could challenge existing park uses associated with self-organized outdoor recreation and local resource use. We used a web-based Public Participatory Geographic Information System (PPGIS) to identify the most important places and values of local, domestic, and international visitors to …
Recovering” public space and race: Afro-Colombian street vendors in Bogotá, Colombia
Bogotá, Colombia is one of the largest migrant-receiving cities in the Americas, and in the last two decades, the city has received an influx of over one million people displaced by internal violent political conflicts. Currently, the Afro-Colombian population constitutes approximately 10% of the total population, but continues to be highly concentrated in the lowest socioeconomic strata in the Pacific region of Colombia. Informal vending in Bogo…
Tianguis as a Possibility of Autogestion: Street Vendors Claim Rights to the City in Cancún, Mexico
During the past 20 years, street vendors in various cities in the Global South have resisted aggressive state sanctioned removals and relocation strategies by organizing for vendors’ rights, protesting, and creating street vending member organizations with flexible relationships to the local state. Through these means, street vendors claim “rights in the city,” even as the bodies they inhabit and the spaces they produce are devalued by state legi…
Selling nostalgia: The emotional labor of immigrant Latina food vendors in Los Angeles
The sidewalks of Latino immigrant neighborhoods in Los Angeles are often coded with layers of trans-border informal economic cultural processes that shape and inform the practices of everyday lives in the Barrios. Sidewalks come alive with street vendors selling a variety of “typical” prepared foods from Latin America. Since street vending is illegal in Los Angeles, vendors “illegally” transform sidewalks to ephemeral informal markets that cater …
Brown, Queer and Gendered
This chapter provides a historical development of feminist methodologies in geography, nor to engage with research methods debates in Human Geography. It explains a story about Herminia who is a Latina street vendor in Los Angeles. Binnie writes that the homo-normativity is characterised by, the increasing visibility and power of affluent white gay men has been accompanied by the marginalisation of the politics of both lesbian feminism and sex ra…
Agency, choice and restrictions in producing Latina/o street‐vending landscapes in Los Angeles
This paper interrogates how street vendors and ‘street landlords’ (street gangs), the local state and its apparatus produce quasi‐organised street‐vending landscapes in Los Angeles. It draws upon the notion of urban informality, uneven geographies of value as well as work that engages with divergent enactments of agency negotiated in relation to restrictive social structural processes. It illustrates that despite complex layers of restrictions an…
Latino/a Immigrant Street Vendors in Los Angeles: Photo-Documenting Sidewalks from 'Back-Home
Street vending in Los Angeles is reconfigured, organized, and supported through the daily practices of Latina/o immigrants. Vendors physically transform the streets into public markets, utilizing sidewalks, fences, walls, parking lots, and benches in immigrant receiving neighbourhoods in Los Angeles. Street vending, as the most visual occupation of the informal economy, vendors depend on their visibility to be successful entrepreneurs, while as i…
