    Spatial Analysis of Regional Income Inequality in Eu Countries
    (Taylor & Francis, 2024) Niknam Khajepasha, Alireza; Gkartzios, Menelaos
    This article analyses regional convergence and the diminishing regional disparities within the EU27 from 2000 to 2019. It assesses the impact of income fluctuations on regional inequality by employing secondary analysis of income per capita indicators across NUTS 3 level regions. The article provides a quantitative assessment of regional income inequality, encompassing the most prevalent instruments used in the analysis of inequality data. In particular, it determines EU regional disparities using constructed Theil, Gini and CV indices exposing a more comprehensive evaluation of regional disparities within the EU. It also examines the nexus between spatial effects on regional income inequality. The findings suggest that EU convergence persists at the NUTS 3 level, albeit at a decelerating pace. We also point to the role of clustering effects among neighbouring regions. Notably, the study highlights the diminishing role of regional clustering due to income inequality during the ongoing convergence process.

    İzmir Basmane'deki Suriyeli Mültecilerin Geçim Kırılganlığının Değerlendirilmesi
    (2025) Görgülü, Lale; Gkartzios, Menelaos
    Bu çalışma, Suriyeli mültecilerin tehlikelere uyum sağlama becerilerini geliştirmek, risk farkındalığını artırmak ve hem ev sahibi toplum hem de mülteciler için kentsel politikalar geliştirmek amacıyla geçim sermayesi ve Hükümetlerarası İklim Değişikliği Paneli (IPCC) kırılganlık çerçevesini kullanarak Suriyeli mültecilerin geçim kaynaklarının kırılganlığını değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Suriyeli mülteciler, Suriye iç savaşı ve zorla yerinden edilmeleri ve karşılaştıkları zorluklar nedeniyle kırılgan grup olarak seçilmiştir. Çalışma alanı, İzmir'in Konak ilçesinde mültecilerin yoğun olarak yaşadığı Basmane bölgesidir. Karma yöntemler kullanılmıştır. Geçim kırılganlığı endeksi (LVI) doğal, sosyal, ekonomik, fiziksel ve insan sermayeleri kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. LVI-IPCC maruziyet, duyarlılık ve uyum kapasitesi kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Geçim hassasiyeti, Suriyeli mülteciler ve sivil toplum kuruluşları (STK'lar) ile derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılarak araştırılmıştır. Genel LVI değeri olan 0,48 yüksek düzeyde kırılganlığa, LVI-IPCC değeri olan 0,02 ise orta düzeyde kırılganlığa işaret etmektedir. Sermaye özelinde, LVI en çok finansal sermayeden ve en az insan sermayesinden etkilenirken, LVI-IPCC en çok doğal sermayeden ve en az sosyal sermayeden etkilenmektedir. Fiziksel sermaye en fazla maruz kalan, finansal sermaye en hassas olan ve sosyal sermaye uyum kapasitesinin geliştirilmesine en fazla katkıda bulunan sermayedir. Nitel sonuçlar, Suriyeli mülteciler için günlük yaşamda kamusal alan deneyimleri/zorlukları temasının kırılganlığı etkileyen diğer temalarla en çok ilişkili tema olduğunu gösterirken, STK'lar geçim kaynağı kırılganlığını artıran mülteci yoğunluğu ve bunun sonuçları ile sosyal uyum sorunları temalarını vurgulamıştır. Bu çalışma, kırılganlığın azaltılmasında ve/veya ortadan kaldırılmasında bağlam, kırılgan grup ve sermaye türleri özelinde ihtiyaçları, potansiyelleri ve tehditleri açığa çıkaran sürdürülebilir geçim kaynakları yaklaşımının önemini vurgulayarak kent planlama literatürüne katkı sunmaktadır.

    Placing `The Rural` in Territorial Governance
    (Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2025) Scott, M.; Gkartzios, M.; Gallent, N.
    Despite living in the so-called "urban age", development conflicts and global challenges have never looked more "rural" in nature. This includes the role of rural places in the context of energy and food security, natural resource extraction, a site for climate action, and the imperative of nature recovery. This chapter proposes a framework in which the diversity and complexity of rural places is revealed in a practical way, building on a conceptualisation of relational rural capitals that are fundamental to the function and potential of those places. In the context of debates concerning the future of rural areas, and the role of territorial governance in delivering a sustainable, inclusive and resilient countryside, this chapter considers the value of a place capitals perspective in unpacking, firstly, "what makes" rural places and, secondly, the ways that territorial interventions can ensure the protection, enhancement, and sensitive use of those capitals. © The Editors and Contributors Severally 2025.

    Community Co-Creation Through Knowledge (co)production: the Engagement of Universities in Promoting Rural Revitalization in China
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Lang, Wei; Gkartzios, Menelaos; Yan, Jialing; Chen, Tingting; Tan, Shuying
    The global discourse on the role of universities in rural revitalization has gained significant attention. The proposition is to leverage university expertise and resources to support rural development, including knowledge (co)production, community co-creation, and volunteerism - a practice that essentially bridges local actors and their knowledge with external actors and their knowledge. As advocated by UN Habitat III, the collaboration between universities and rural communities is an initiative exemplified by China's "Jointly Create a Beautiful Environment and a Happy Life" to enhance the built environment. This study aims to comprehensively investigate the implementation and outcomes of the "Rural Four Small Gardens" projects, which serve as a vital community development initiative within the Hongtang Village in Fengqing County, Yunnan Province, China. The research discusses those processes, observing opportunities for knowledge (co)production across diverse stakeholders in line with neo-endogenous rural development thinking. By exploring the co-creation approach employed in these projects, we seek to unravel how academia and local communities collaborate to address multifaceted challenges in rural areas. We argue that: 1) The engagement of rural communities through collaborative planning workshops serves as the fundamental cornerstone for university paired-up assistance; 2) the co-creation model for improving rural settlement necessitates the collective efforts of multiple stakeholders; 3) university faculty and students play pivotal roles during the process of service learning, practice research, and knowledge (co)production with villagers; and 4) Knowledge (co)production entails a dynamic process of coconstruction, co-governance, and resource sharing, exemplified by co-creation initiatives of home development, farmyard enhancement, and infrastructure projects. The research offers insights for global universities seeking to engage in similar paired-up assistance initiatives, underscores the significance of co-creation in rural development, and enlightens planning education in practice and service.

    Hybridising Counterurbanisation: Lessons From Japan's Kankeijinko
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Dilley, Luke; Gkartzios, Menelaos; Kudo, Shogo; Odagiri, Tokumi
    This paper examines the discourse and material manifestation of kankeijinko over bar , a phrase used in Japan to describe, primarily, highly mobile groups of urbanities who make regular visits to the countryside. Drawing on Japanese grey literature, secondary data analysis, national-level policy reports and exploratory fieldwork in the northwest of Japan, we argue that the concept of kankeijinko over bar offers a view of rural mobility quite different from more established views of counterurbanisation, at least in the way that it has been captured in the global north. As a concept, kankeijinko over bar invites us to move beyond simple and binary taxonomies of migration and settlement, and destabilizes the notion of rural vitality as being linked to rural populations that are spatially fixed and bounded. Further, the promotion of kankeijinko over bar in policy discourses in Japan has the potential to support new hybrid, fluid and place-based rural lifestyles that contribute to an interconnected global countryside. On the other hand, the discourse of kankeijinko over bar might privilege certain modes of rural mobility and being, circumscribing the potentialities of these mobile groups.

    Overview of Social Policies for Town and Village Development in Response To Rural Shrinkage in East Asia: the Cases of Japan, South Korea and China
    (MDPI, 2023) Li, Wenqi; Zhang, Li; Lee, Inhee; Gkartzios, Menelaos
    Globally speaking, Asian countries, especially East Asian countries, are facing acute national depopulation situation and severe rural shrinkage development. Based on the continuous surveys of town and village development in Japan, South Korea, and China, this study aims to provide an overview of social policies that have been implemented in the past or more recently in these three countries in response to rural shrinkage, and to outline the core philosophy of these practices to cope with the repercussions. In this paper, we analyze the overall process of rural depopulation and the present features of town and village development in three countries. We subsequently present the social policies over the last few decades and summarize them into four major groups. Furthermore, we highlight that the focus of social policies is not to seek possible ways to reestablish growth but to provide positive support and effective reform to adjust and satisfy the changing needs of towns and villages under the circumstances of shrinking development, including the optimization of public resource allocation, exploring institutional innovation to valorize abandoned assets, and developing endogenous potentials for future sustainable development. Qualitative methods from a combination of literature review, policy review, and field surveys have mainly been adopted in this research. The study of East Asian practices may be instructive for other Asia-Pacific countries, as well as European countries that have been experiencing or will eventually face the challenges of rural shrinkage.
