“…However, neither Mulgan and Pulford (2010), Zapf (1989), nor Moulaert et al (2010) reflect on their normative understanding of social innovation as a steady response to diverse societal problems. In contrast, authors like Gillwald (2000, 19), Lindhult (2008, 44), Rammert (2013), andSchwarz, Birke, andBeerheide (2010, 174-175) illustrate that social innovation does not always create new solutions that are helpful for overcoming conflicts and crises, but may also produce new problems or have ambivalent or even negative effects for certain actors.…”

Through a variety of empirical studies, this volume offers fresh insights into the manner in which different forms of communicative action transform urban space. With attention to the methodological questions that arise from the attempt to study such changes empirically, it offers new theoretical foundations for understanding the social construction and reconstruction of spaces through communicative action. Seeing communicative action as the basic element in the social construction of reality and conceptualizing communication not only in terms of the use of language and texts, but as involving any kind of objectification, such as technologies, bodies and nonverbal signs, it considers the roles of both direct and mediatized (or digitized) communication. An examination of the conceptualization of the communicative (re-)construction of spaces and the means by which this change might be empirically investigated, this book demonstrates the fruitfulness of the notion of refiguration as a means by which to understand the transformation of contemporary societies. As such, it will appeal to sociologists, social theorists, and geographers with interests in social construction and urban space.

“…The authors of this article are also influenced by the work of Schwarz, Birke, and Beerheide (2010:174f. ), who argue that “social innovations originate from specific actors and constellations of actors and consist of intentional, targeted reconfigurations of social practices at the interfaces between different social contexts and rationalities”.…”

“…Moreover: Although social innovation “aim at solving problems differently and satisfy needs differently”, Schwarz et al (2010:174f.) also claim that social innovation “usually have an ambivalent, not necessarily ‘positive’ impact.” Therefore, social innovation does not always create new solutions that are helpful for overcoming conflicts and crises.…”

“…While Schwarz et al (2010), Rammert (2013) as well as Bock (2012:58) and Cajaiba‐Santana (2014:46) emphasize the role of actors, practices, and structures in their definition of social innovation, it was Rammert (2013) who developed a concept of societal innovation that goes far beyond this. His societal innovation approach distinguishes three levels of innovation: (1) the semantic level of innovation discourses, (2) the pragmatic level of innovative actions, and (3) the grammatical level of institutions and rules.…”

Social Innovation in Rural Regions: Older Adults and Creative Community Development*

Many so‐called structurally disadvantaged rural regions are characterized by an ongoing demographic change, low economic productivity, and an insufficient infrastructure. Paradoxically, citizens of such regions are often urged to address local challenges by developing innovative ideas, products, or services. Innovation is becoming a “message of salvation” and imperative to local action due to a rise of an innovation regime that conceptualizes innovation as reflexive and ubiquitous. Unlike cities, however, disadvantaged rural regions are often seen as not conducive to innovation. And older adults are rarely ever regarded as potential innovators. This article will examine how innovations emerge in disadvantaged rural regions and what role older adults play in this context. It focuses on social innovation which is important for processes of rural renewal. Drawing on insights gained through the “Innovation in Rural Municipalities” research project, the paper illustrates the resourcefulness of older adults in the context of socially innovative community development. Older adults can in fact act as drivers of innovative projects, actively participate in and make use of social innovations. Their specific role, however, depends on their personal motives, community‐related interests, and available resources.

“…The latter option requires sustainable innovations and should be pursued throughout this work. According to Schwarz [20] it is important to find a well balance compromise between the pillars of sustainability. Therefore it is important to weigh the use of the three dimensions in the further work.…”

This work provides a foundation to make heterogeneous alternatives for mobility (transportation modes) comparable in the context of sustainability and providing possibilities to also compare them in other contexts such as costs or flexibility. The key to a successful comparison of such transportation modes is stated as the selection of semantically suitable key performance indicators (KPI) and a reasonable decision analysis method, which will be covered throughout this work. A set of KPIs is selected by considering various existing indicators, like indicators for measuring resource consumption or air pollution. This work provides a method for comparing the relative sustainability or any other desired dimension, given the requirement that a suitable set of KPIs is selected, of multiple modes of personal transportation by using key performance indicators and the multi-criteria decision analysis method PROMETHEE II. In addition to the introduced objective decision support, the authors also provide a way to enable subjective decision support by taking the preference-based model of an individual decision-maker into account. A method to enable individual preference based matchmaking is introduced to provide the mathematical foundation for mapping each individual to their subjectively optimal transportation mode. Some possible practical use cases which are able to create real world added value by automated appliance of the introduced models are given by the authors as well..
