“…This raises the normative question of evaluating environmental justice (beyond the questions of methodological measurement). As a result of our study, we argue that the discourse on environmental justice will benefit from a stronger acknowledgement of the theoretical debate on spatial justice (Moroni, 2020).…”

Over the last 50 years, the Ruhr region experienced a remarkable transformation from an industrial to a post-industrial region. With regard to the rehabilitation of the environmental damages of more than 100 years of coal mining and steel production, investment in green infrastructure, and the creation of regional landscape parks constituted one of the main pillars of the economic and physical transformation of the region. However, little is known about the social effects of this green transformation. Many observers state that the Ruhr area is sharply divided by an east–west line (the A40 Highway) and in fact the Emscher zone was hit most by environmental degradation. We argue that environmental justice is a question of scale. While on the regional scale, the investments made in the Emscher zone can be seen as a trial to balance and repair a long-standing unequal provision with environmental qualities (not least parks), on a smaller scale (i.e., cities and neighbourhoods) we can demonstrate that in the cities of the Emscher zone environmental inequality is still observable. Some neighbourhoods benefit stronger from investment in regional parks and green infrastructure than others. The paper will describe the Emscher green regeneration programme and will give detailed insights into two cities of the Ruhr (including maps and data analysis).

This paper aims to review just city concept, exploring it from a triple bottom line perspective that has social, economic, and environmental dimensions. Applying this concept is valuable because it ensures just distribution of resources and efficient allocation among citizens. The paper question is what are the economic, social and environmental dimensions of a just city? It adopts an inductive theoretical methodology. It is based on secondary data analysis research design. It is divided into six parts: introduction, definitions, justice dimensions, advantages of justice and disadvantages of injustice, reasons and consequences of urban injustice and finally the conclusion. This paper ends with some conclusions: many cities all over the world suffer from urban injustice. As a result, social problems appear such as segregation, alienation and higher crime indicators. From economic perspective there are disparities in opportunities, income level and wealth. And from environmental perspective there are disparities in quality of environment such as pollution indicators, access to green public spaces and quality of urban life. There is also injustice in public services distribution like education, healthcare, urban public spaces, public transportations, infrastructures and so on. These public services could be used as an indicator of urban justice. This paper gives some recommendation: all people should be integrated in urban production process. All people should have equitable access to all public services, opportunities and high quality of life specially marginalized groups. To guarantee them sufficiency of their human rights, and life without conflicts to move towards a more just world.

“…It is important to distinguish nation-state cemetery systems as bounded entities in order to create definable institutions that are responsible for deploying or restricting social justice (Moroni, 2019). Nation-state cemetery systems are delivered within governance, regulatory and economic contexts and are created through the accretion of decisions, made more or less strategically.…”

This paper applies social justice frameworks to 'cemetery systems' which here denotes the framework by which each nation state orders the disposal of the dead, and which generally includes burial, cremation and the interment or scattering of cremated remains. An application of social justice theory indicates the desirability of certain key principles for all cemetery systems: decent disposal as a human right; democratic accountability; equality of access to services regardless of income; freedom of religious expression; and environmental sustainability. Achieving these principles is not necessarily straightforward, and conflict between principles is heightened by financialisation and population densification.
