Although much has been written on the social, economic and physical outcomes of urban regeneration, a review of the literature shows that there are few examples of empirical research focusing on the effects of neighborhood regeneration on the place experiences of children, a group that is highly dependent on public spaces but is often excluded from them. Some exceptions include O’Brien’s (2003) study, which compares place preferences of children in different neighborhoods in London, UK; Elsley’s (2004) study, which explores children’s experiences of public space in a disadvantaged and redeveloping neighborhood in Edinburgh, Scotland; and Sancar and Severcan’s (2010) study, which focuses on the effects of tourism-based developments on children’s place preferences in the Bodrum peninsula in southwest Turkey. In this paper, I will focus on the effects of urban regeneration on the place use and preferences of 9- to 11-year-old children in six low-income neighborhoods of Istanbul. In the past, while some of these neighborhoods had managed to preserve their historic character, others changed more or less drastically. Data on places used and preferred by children are obtained using photo-voice technique. The findings have important implications for policy-makers, planners and urban designers, who strive to create healthy and sustainable communities.

Effects of Brand Priming on Sustainable Consumption Attitudes and Behaviors Yurteri, Sidar; Carter, Mandrik; Computer Engineering (2021-2-5) Research on factors affecting sustainable consumption tends to focus on enduring factors like personality traits, value orientations, and demographics.

The present research attempts to understand how brand priming affects sustainable consumption attitudes and behaviors. Priming is a term that describes how a given unconscious stimulus affects subsequent psychological states and ...

Effects of threat to a valued social identity on implicit self-esteem and discrimination Smurda, Julie; Wittig, Michelle; Gökalp, Gökçe (2006-04-01) This research provides an experimental test of the self-esteem hypothesis that avoids potential hypothesis guessing and self-presentational concerns associated with previous research by including subtle measures of both social self-esteem and intergroup discrimination. The role of group identification and social self-esteem as determinants of ingroup bias was examined under high and low identity-threatening conditions utilizing an implicit measure of social self-esteem.
