Dimensions Of Justice Research Articles

New entry points for Fare-Free

This essay discusses five currently ongoing struggles that open new windows of opportunity for the necessary mobility turnaround in our cities. The first is the currently pending regulation of platform work in the EU, which will also affect the mobility provider UBER. This will determine whether UBER will remain a dangerous public transport competitor or not. Secondly, the current crisis of rising costs of living is intensifying the discussion about public transport for fare-free or greatly reduced prices. Measures that some EU member states have taken are discussed. The social justice dimension is also reflected in the context of area justice and urban heat waves. Thirdly, the COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the financing of public transport to such an extent that it opens a window of opportunity to gain new allies for fare-free. Fourthly, the discussion about the war in Ukraine also opens up the possibility of taking a new look at public transport, as it can contribute significantly to energy savings. Last but not least, the current discussion on industrial policy as a reply to the American Inflation Reduction Act is an opportunity to strengthen public transport and fare-free public transport discourse.

(Mis-)belonging to the climate-resilient city: Making place in multi-risk communities of racialized urban America

ABSTRACT Through climate adaptation planning cities are transforming places and relations, most recently via green climate resilient infrastructure (GRI). Yet, GRI’s incorporation into existing, racialized infrastructure systems of urban development, regeneration and finance has raised questions about the socio-cultural impacts and justice dimensions of recent directions in climate adaptation planning and urbanism. While critical scholars highlight the exclusion of historically marginalized residents, this paper’s analysis of the impacts of GRI-driven planning for sense of belonging reveals a complex and multi-faceted experience of gentrification and displacement in the racialized, settler colonial city. Drawing on insights from civic actors about their lived experience of green and climate resilient projects in Boston, Massachusetts, we develop a novel understanding of belonging, which entails degrees of (mis)belonging. Our analysis uncovers three pathways by which climate urbanism shapes belonging into various alienated, subordinated, assimilated and emancipated forms, and reveals the kinds of political subjects and socio-cultural relations that emerge from the lived experience of climate adaptation projects. More broadly, this study sheds light on how less visible placemaking practices and alternative modes of addressing socio-climate vulnerability contribute to climate justice and injustice dynamics.

Using Plastic Wastes to Exemplify Justice Dimensions of Extended Producer Responsibility

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) places liability, physical, financial, and/or informative responsibility for a product throughout its life cycle on its producer. Implementing such schemes is expected to result in many environmental and social benefits. Yet, academic and practitioner discussions on the mechanisms focus on environmental impacts, whereas social dimensions of EPR are often side-lined. This short communication contributes to addressing this gap by establishing a research agenda for the justice dimensions of EPR. For this purpose, initial links between EPR and justice – specifically waste colonialism, procedural justice, recognition justice, distributive justice, intra- and intergenerational equity, waste justice, and corrective justice – are set out, including where it affects products in their life cycles and examples of which stakeholders may be impacted, with plastic waste used to provide examples.

Breaking climate justice ‘silence’ in everyday life: The environmentalist killjoy, negotiation and relationship risk

The moral and justice dimensions of climate change are uncomfortable and commonly avoided in the conversations of day-to-day UK life. This ‘silence’ impedes the genesis of a public discourse to drive justice-oriented social and political change. Two social realms identified as silence-breaking are social movements and personal relationships, yet the potential of this intersection has yet to be explored. This article applies Goffman’s theories of interaction to a qualitative study of UK-based climate activists to show how silence around climate justice is often a means to avoid relationship conflict, and the ways in which this is negotiated within everyday interactions. Activist participants faced conversational resistance through normative avoidance of climate-related death talk, and from negative environmental activist stereotyping. In efforts to protect relationships while promoting their climate politics, participants backgrounded their activist identity, slowly ‘chipped away’ at climate obstruction through social and sustainable practices, and prioritised humour. Breaking silences required taking relationship risks through radical environmentalist ‘killjoy-talk’: a deliberate, politicised transgression of polite conversation norms. The article reflects on the normativities and loci of power discursively obstructing a moral engagement, and the potential for activists’ practical and discursive strategies to work against these to normalise politicised climate talk.

How Should Urban Climate Change Planning Advance Social Justice?

Cities are struggling to balance the moral imperatives of sustainable development, with equity and social justice often ignored and negatively impacted by climate change mitigation and adaptation. Yet, the nature of these impacts on social justice has not been comprehensively investigated and little ethical guidance exists on how to better promote social justice in urban climate change planning practice. This article addresses the normative question: How should urban climate change planning advance social justice? It gathers empirical literature documenting the inclusivity and equity impacts of urban climate change planning and thematically analyses that literature for dimensions of social justice drawn from philosophical and urban justice theory. Study findings demonstrate that four characteristics of climate change planning in cities-underlying neoliberal ideology, unequal treatment, green gentrification, and exclusion from decisionmaking-comprise, create, or worsen social injustices across six dimensions. These characteristics are often interconnected and inseparable. Where neoliberal ideology guides urban climate change planning, the other three characteristics frequently occur as well. The article concludes by arguing that, at a minimum, urban planners and climate planners have an obligation of justice to avoid undertaking climate change planning that exhibits any of the four characteristics and to address injustices generated where planning has such characteristics. It further suggests that planners' negative obligations likely extend beyond this because the literature review revealed gaps in existing empirical data on the equity impacts of urban climate change planning.

Four ways blue foods can help achieve food system ambitions across nations

Blue foods, sourced in aquatic environments, are important for the economies, livelihoods, nutritional security and cultures of people in many nations. They are often nutrient rich1, generate lower emissions and impacts on land and water than many terrestrial meats2, and contribute to the health3, wellbeing and livelihoods of many rural communities4. The Blue Food Assessment recently evaluated nutritional, environmental, economic and justice dimensions of blue foods globally. Here we integrate these findings and translate them into four policy objectives to help realize the contributions that blue foods can make to national food systems around the world: ensuring supplies of critical nutrients, providing healthy alternatives to terrestrial meat, reducing dietary environmental footprints and safeguarding blue food contributions to nutrition, just economies and livelihoods under a changing climate. To account for how context-specific environmental, socio-economic and cultural aspects affect this contribution, we assess the relevance of each policy objective for individual countries, and examine associated co-benefits and trade-offs at national and international scales. We find that in many African and South American nations, facilitating consumption of culturally relevant blue food, especially among nutritionally vulnerable population segments, could address vitamin B12 and omega-3 deficiencies. Meanwhile, in many global North nations, cardiovascular disease rates and large greenhouse gas footprints from ruminant meat intake could be lowered through moderate consumption of seafood with low environmental impact. The analytical framework we provide also identifies countries with high future risk, for whom climate adaptation of blue food systems will be particularly important. Overall the framework helps decision makers to assess the blue food policy objectives most relevant to their geographies, and to compare and contrast the benefits and trade-offs associated with pursuing these objectives.

A sociological interpretation of "urban shuttlers" in the context of social justice

Taking social justice as the starting point, this paper takes takeaway riders and couriers as the research objects of "urban shuttlers". Through literature analysis, questionnaires and interviews, the project explores the current situation and plight of the "urban shuttlers", and provides a sociological interpretation of the four basic dimensions of social justice (protection of citizens' basic rights, equality of opportunity, distribution according to contribution, and social adjustment rules).

Literature Review Terhadap Kewajiban Moral, Kesadaran, Pengetahuan, Dimensi Keadilan, Ketegasan Sanksi Dan Pelayanan Pajak Yang Mempengaruhi Kepatuhan Pelaporan Wajib Pajak

The literature review aims to improve the views of the previous authors and complement them with taxation practices in the field related to moral obligations, taxpayer awareness, knowledge/understanding of taxation from the taxpayer side, and from the tax authority side to determine the dimensions of tax justice, the firmness of tax sanctions and the service quality of the tax authorities towards compliance corporate taxpayer reporting. The research process includes the collectibility of published journals, identification and analysis of research results related to taxpayer compliance and other influencing factors, through Google Scholar. The results of the study are taxpayer compliance can be improved through improving information technology, the use of tax funds can be enjoyed by the wider community, involving the world of education, professional institutions, a sense of justice felt by the tax community, fair reciprocal relations between taxpayers and tax officials, availability taxpayer funds. Recommendations from the research are providing incentives (rewards) to obedient taxpayers, reducing or eliminating multiple interpretations of the implementation of tax regulations, issuing rules that have a sense of justice and involving stakeholders from the Directorate General of Taxes.

Exploring Justice in the Process of Redesigning Local Development Strategies for LEADER: Representation, Distribution, and Recognition

After its first funding period from 1991 to 1994, LEADER was positively evaluated as a successful strategy to empower actors at the regional level, enable regional development and contribute to territorial cohesion within the European Union. Critical studies, however, have highlighted elitist tendencies in LEADER processes and asked whether the proclaimed goal of strengthening ‘the local’ contributes to new or other forms of social and spatial injustice. Our research focus lies in how representation, distribution, and recognition—as the three interrelated dimensions of justice according to Nancy Fraser—are featured in the discourse related to redesigning a local development strategy (LDS). During this process, which is conceived as the most open and inclusive phase in each LEADER funding period, we conducted expert interviews and participatory observations in a case study region and gathered media reports, documents, and official regulations. In our analysis of issues of representation, distribution, and recognition, we also focus on the spatial scales that are referred to and the ways in which the involved actors challenge and justify the status quo. Our analysis explicates the actors’ implicit normative understandings as well as their different perspectives and positions considering perceived injustice. Even though the LDS process provides opportunities to negotiate these positions and to work towards more just representation, distribution, and recognition, they are partly constrained by structural and individual dependencies.

Discourses on Universal Basic Income: An Alternative Model of Idea of Justice

Discourses on Universal Basic Income, or UBI, are current political concerns that aim to provide all members of a political community with a fixed amount of money each month, with no conditions attached, in order to enable them to live good, dignified, and secure lives. UBI has strong connections with theories of justice. Having strong opposition, it is being more or less experimented with and piloted in most of the countries of the world. This paper tries to explore the arguments regarding how the UBI could be instrumental in realizing the major objectives of theories of justice. Among two dimensions of justice, reformative theory of justice connects to the legal aspect while the distributive theory of justice connects to the notion of social justice. Distributive justice believes that all the available means of livelihood and fruits of economic growth must be available to all human beings so that they could live a decent life and would not be forced to work without their wishes. Today's world is a world of automation and digitalization. Digitalization of the world economy resulted in massive joblessness, loss of social safety nets and wealth concentration in a small number of private players or MNCs. The Global Crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic has further multiplied the very adversity. In such a global scenario, the present study, by contemplating discourses on UBI and citing the case of Indian UBI, tries to see UBI as an alternative model of justice and put forward the argument that if UBI is implemented properly and universally, it will not only result in a conceptual shift in the political theory of justice, liberty, democracy and relative equality and others but also lead to the attainment of human emancipation which is the primary concern of political and social theorists.

Examining the Relationship between Service Remedy and Customer Satisfaction: A Study of Hainan Province Real Estate Enterprise

This research paper investigates how service remedies affect customer satisfaction and competitiveness of real estate companies in Hainan Province under the internet environment. Service failures are inevitable, and the study suggests that real estate service enterprises should implement appropriate measures and strategies to remedy these failures. The study proposes a model that links service remedies and customer satisfaction based on fairness theory. The study further divides service remedies into three categories: material, spiritual, and information remedies. The study also adds the dimension of informational justice to the basis of distribution, interaction, and procedural justice, and suggests that service failure attribution can moderate the relationship between service remedy and perceived justice. The study collected data through a professional questionnaire website, implemented surveys, and tested the model and hypotheses using factor analysis and structural equation modeling. Based on the study’s conclusions, management suggestions for real estate service enterprises in Hainan Province are proposed to enhance their competitiveness and performance in the real estate industry.

Reviewing the sociotechnical dynamics of carbon removal

In recent years, carbon removal and associated net-zero energy technologies have emerged as serious options for policymakers and scientists to consider when trying to address climate change. How, where, and when to use these options effectively are, however, polemic, and research examining the social or justice dimensions of deployment—actual or prospective—remains uncommon. This review provides an interdisciplinary and holistic perspective of the sociotechnical dynamics of carbon-removal options. It employs a sociotechnical approach that reveals the different epistemic, economic, technical, social, political, and environmental elements necessary for a net-zero energy transition. In this review, we first summarize seven broad classes of carbon removal—afforestation and reforestation, soil carbon sequestration, marine biomass and blue carbon, direct air capture with carbon storage, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, enhanced weathering, and biochar. The review then explores four critical sociotechnical areas in greater depth: modeling and assessment, social acceptance, innovation and scaling, and policy and governance. We conclude with implications for policy and research.

HUBUNGAN PELAYANAN TENAGA KESEHATAN DENGAN TINGKAT KEPUASAN MASYARAKAT DALAM KEGIATAN VAKSINASI DI PUSKESMAS PAYUNG SEKAKI

Vaccination activities in service activities were one of the government's breakthroughs in suppressing the transmission of COVID-19. One of the problems that arise during vaccination activities was community satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between health worker services and the level of community satisfaction in vaccination activities at the Payung Sekaki Public Health Center. The research method used is a type of analytical quantitative research, with a correlation design and a cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted at the Payung Sekaki Public Health Center. The population in the study was people who received the vaccine in the Payung Sekaki Public Health Center totaling 10.279 people. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling with the number of samples needed was 271 people. Data collection in this study used a health service questionnaire and a satisfaction questionnaire that had been tested for validity before. Data was analyzed by using univariate and bivariate analysis. The results of the bivariate analysis using continuity correction found that the relationship between health workers' services and the level of community satisfaction in vaccination activities (p-value = 0,000) with the dimension of justice was the most influential factor in community satisfaction. Quality health services provided by health workers can increase public satisfaction with COVID-19 vaccination activities.

Multiple Dimensions of Environmental Justice and Oil and Gas Development in Pennsylvania.

Community socioeconomic deprivation (CSD) may be related to higher oil and natural gas development (OGD) exposure. We tested for distributive and benefit-sharing environmental injustice in Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale by examining (1) whether OGD and waste disposal occurred disproportionately in more deprived communities and (2) discordance between the location of land leased for OGD and where oil and gas rights owners resided. Analyses took place at the county subdivision level and considered OGD wells, waste disposal, and land lease agreement locations from 2005 to 2019. Using 2005-2009 American Community Survey data, we created a CSD index relevant to community vulnerability in suburban/rural areas. In adjusted regression models accounting for spatial dependence, we observed no association between the CSD index and conventional or unconventional drilled well presence. However, a higher CSD index was linearly associated with odds of a subdivision having an OGD waste disposal site and receiving a larger volume of waste. A higher percentage of oil and gas rights owners lived in the same county subdivision as leased land when the community was least versus most deprived (66% vs. 56% in same county subdivision), suggesting that individuals in more deprived communities were less likely to financially benefit from OGD exposure. We observed distributive environmental injustice with respect to well waste disposal and benefit-sharing environmental injustice related to oil and rights owner's residential locations across Pennsylvania's Marcellus Shale. These results add evidence of a disparity between exposure and benefits resulting from OGD.

Fair and Square: Impact of Hospitality Employees’ Justice Perceptions and Job Embeddedness on Citizenship Behavior during COVID-19

&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D; COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted all industries, and the hospitality sector has been the worst hit. Drawing upon conservation of resource (COR) theory, it was hypothesized that organizational justice as well as job embeddedness will positively impact employees’ engagement in organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). In addition, the moderating role of job embeddedness in organizational justice–OCB relationship was studied. Using time-lagged data of hospitality employees from India, the results demonstrate that of all dimensions of organizational justice, interactional justice emerges as the strongest predictor of OCB. Further, job embeddedness was seen to have a significant relationship with all dimensions of OCB. Support was also found for the moderating role of job embeddedness in strengthening the positive relationship between justice perceptions and certain dimensions of OCB. Finally, the implications are discussed enhancing our understanding of organizational justice—job embeddedness—OCB relationship in Indian hospitality sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting several measures which can be taken by managers of this sector to promote employee extra role behaviors.&#x0D; &#x0D; &#x0D;

From awareness to activism: Understanding commitment to social justice in higher education

In this study, we examine the concept of social justice to provide greater clarity about how higher education might help students achieve more understanding about social justice and develop behaviors consistent with social change. We measured three dimensions of social justice: students’ recognition that inequality exists, their determination to do something, and their willingness to engage in actions that reduce inequality. Mean differences in scales tapping these views between students in introductory and capstone courses in six liberal arts disciplines—social work, sociology, psychology, criminal justice, gender studies, and communication—suggest variations in how students in these programs commit to social change. Capstone students consistently showed greater commitment to social justice compared to freshmen students. The most significant differences occurred in their willingness to take action. Patterns differed significantly within the six disciplines, and consideration is given to the emphasis placed on social justice within the six disciplines, as partially explaining the differences. These results suggest some modification to the notion in the literature that a ‘principal-implementation’ gap exists among adults in their commitment to social justice that tends to increase with maturation.

Authentic Assessments through the Lenses of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice in a Fully Online Course

The social isolation resulting from the 2020 global pandemic posed both challenges and opportunities in higher education. One of the greatest opportunities has been the chance to foreground the dimensions of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ). As online course enrollments in postsecondary programs increase, educators, researchers, and learning design practitioners need to identify strategies to implement an inclusive learning environment in online learning programs. The purpose of this article is to describe how we, learning designers, conceptualized the DEIJ dimensions and reflected them in our design decisions with the use of technology. Using the DEIJ lenses, we focus on the design of authentic assessments with the use of technology, such as available features within the Canvas learning management system and external tools.

A Scientific Perspective on Using Artificial Intelligence in Sustainable Urban Development

Digital transformation (or digitalization) is the process of continuous further development of digital technologies (such as smart devices, cloud services, and Big Data) that have a lasting impact on our economy and society. In this manner, digitalization is a huge driver for permanent change, even in the field of Sustainable Urban Development. In the wake of digitalization, expectations are changing, placing pressure at the societal level on the design and development of smart environments for everything that means Sustainable Urban Development. In this sense, the solution is the integration of Artificial Intelligence into Sustainable Urban Development, because technology can simplify people’s lives. The aim of this paper is to ascertain which Sustainable Urban Development dimensions are taken into account when integrating Artificial Intelligence and what results can be achieved. These questions formed the basic framework for this research article. In order to make the current state of Artificial Intelligence in Sustainable Urban Development as a snapshot visible, a systematic review of the current literature between 2012 and 2022 was conducted. The data were collected and analyzed using PRISMA. Based on the studies identified, we found a significant growth in studies, starting in 2018, and that Artificial Intelligence applications refer to the Sustainable Urban Development dimensions of environmental protection, economic development, social justice and equity, culture, and governance. The used Artificial Intelligence techniques in Sustainable Urban Development cover a broad field of Artificial Intelligence, such as Artificial Intelligence in general, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Artificial Neuronal Networks, Operations Research, Predictive Analytics, and Data Mining. However, with the integration of Artificial Intelligence in Sustainable Urban Development, challenges are marked out. These include responsible municipal policies, awareness of data quality, privacy and data security, the formation of partnerships among stakeholders (e.g., local citizens, civil society, industry, and various levels of government), and transparency and traceability in the implementation and rollout of Artificial Intelligence. A first step was taken towards providing an overview of the possible applications of Artificial Intelligence in Sustainable Urban Development. It was clearly shown that Artificial Intelligence is also gaining ground in this sector.

THE EFFECTS OF ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE ON EMPLOYEE COUNTER WORK BEHAVIOR MEDIATED BY EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT; A CASE OF MANUFACTURING SECTOR EMPLOYEES

Employee counterwork behavior (CWB) is a negative behavior exerted by employees. Every year, organizations around the world suffer financially and operationally due to the employee involvement in CWB. In present study, we investigate this issue by using the organizational justice and employee engagement perspective. The study aims to test the effects of organizational justice on employee CWB and employee engagement. Additionally, we tested if employee engagement function as a mediator in organizational justice and employee CWB relationship. The study utilized quantitative and cross-sectional approach. Data was collected from manufacturing sector staff (n=212). Validity and reliability was established using the Confirmatory Factor Analysis performed by AMOS. Path analysis was performed for hypotheses testing. Our key findings are that organizational justice dimensions including distributive justice (Beta=-.086, P&lt;.05); procedural justice (Beta=-.084, P&lt;.05); and interactional justice (Beta=-.075, P&lt;.05) has negative and significant effects on employee CWB. We also found that organizational justice dimensions including procedural justice (Beta=.073, P&lt;.05); and interactional justice (Beta=.075, P&lt;.05) has positive and significant effects on employee engagement while result for distributive justice turned out to be insignificant. We also found positive but insignificant effects of employee engagement on CWB (Beta=.032, P&gt;.05). Additionally, we tested the employee engagement as mediator and found that employee engagement significantly mediates between distributive and procedural justice and employee CWB relationship. Based on these findings, we concluded that employee involvement in CWB is not only influenced by personality factors but also influenced by organizational related factors.
