“Why do they think we're different?” The making of an inhabited ruin and residents' perceptions of tourism

This study conceptualizes the Vele of Scampia, a public housing complex in Naples, Italy, as an inhabited ruin to examine how material decay and symbolic degradation shape residents' lives. It investigates how these residents perceive and navigate the presence of tourists who visit their marginalized neighborhood.

Why it matters — It reveals a paradox where tourism simultaneously offers visibility and social inclusion to a marginalized community while risking the reproduction of social stigma and feelings of otherness.

Caveat: The findings are based on a single, highly specific public housing complex in Naples, which may limit generalizability to other inhabited ruins or touristified social housing sites.

Extending robustness concepts and model formulations for the timetable-constrained railway station routing problem using absorption graphs

The study develops a mixed-integer linear programming model for robust train routing in stations, utilizing absorption graphs to minimize expected delay propagation from primary delays. The approach accounts for both direct and indirect train dependencies as well as dwell-time supplements, and was tested on three railway stations in the Netherlands.

Why it matters — It shifts station routing optimization from simply maximizing buffer times to directly minimizing expected delay propagation, capturing complex, indirect train interactions that traditional buffer-based methods overlook.
