Irish Traveller communities and energy poverty: Methodological reflections on human-centred and community-based research
Energy poverty disproportionately affects marginalised communities across Europe yet remains poorly understood among groups whose housing arrangements and cultural relationships to ‘home’ fall outside mainstream policy assumptions. Irish Travellers, a distinct ethnic minority with a nomadic heritage, face acute energy vulnerability in mobile dwellings that are excluded from national retrofit programmes. Despite policy commitments to a just energy…
Reactions to Imagery Generated Using Computational Aesthetic Measures
This article examines whether textural generation system imagery evolved with computational aesthetic support can be judged as having aesthetic attributes, both when knowing and not knowing its true origin. Such a generation, depicting a digital landscape, is offered to two groups of participants to appraise. It is hypothesized that there will be no statistically significant difference between the groups on their appraisal of the image. Results f…

This article examines how donors have supported decentralisation in South Africa, how they have affected the implementation of decentralisation poli…
