Illustrates that there are environmental risks associated with the
current land uses which can be expected to be found within the
industrial element of both institutional and property investment company
portfolios. Argues that environmental problems are not exclusive to the
uses associated with heavy industrial/ owner‐occupied type property.
Environmental problems can also stem from the current occupational
activities of B1, B2 and B8 industrial units. Consequently, outlines the
information sources and tools that are available to assess this type of
environmental risk. It also examines how off‐site environmental losses
suffered by a tenant could impact on the investment performance of
property. Concludes by urging those involved in assessing the risks
associated with property investment, particularly at the stock selection
level, to take account of such environmental issues.

This edited collection offers an in-depth look at the reactions of Germany and Canada - two countries that have responded to the 21st century 'age of displacement' in very different ways - and the creative solutions and often collaborative efforts these host societies have undertaken to support the sudden arrival of newcomers within their nation's borders. The migration of significantly high numbers of asylum seekers and refugees between 2015 and 2018 presented destination and resettlement societies both a sizable challenge and an opportunity to respond effectively to the imminent needs of this cohort. Germany and Canada emerged as leaders on the global stage for how they responded and the innovative ways they were able to bring together different social actors and stakeholders locally, nationally and globally. This volume is the result of an ongoing international, collaborative effort to monitor and evaluate these responses - from research to policies and practice. The objective is to mobilize knowledge produced through the latest research on key issues relating to the resettlement and integration of refugees in Germany and Canada in a timely and accessible manner. The works presented here not only show evidence based results on resettlement and integration in Canada and Germany, they also provide valuable insights that can support government agencies, service providers and members of civic society to rapidly respond to factors that threaten the wellbeing of refugees and will be instrumental to the successful integration of future cohorts. ; Dieses Sammelwerk beschreibt die Reaktionen Deutschlands und Kanadas auf das 'age of displacement' des 21. Jahrhunderts. Es zeigt Lösungsansätze und gemeinsame Anstrengungen auf, die unternommen wurden, um die seit 2015 Neuzugewanderten zu unterstützen. Zudem werden kritische, gesellschaftliche und politische Antworten auf Fluchtzuwanderung analysiert. Die Zuwanderung einer hohen Anzahl von Asylsuchenden und Geflüchteten zwischen 2015 und 2018 stellte Deutschland und Kanada zwar vor große Herausforderungen, eröffnete jedoch auch die Chance, effektiv mit den Erwartungen unterschiedlicher Interessengruppen umzugehen. Beide Länder zeigen sich als wichtige Akteure, die sich bemühen, diese auf lokaler, nationaler und globaler Ebene zu vernetzen, um geeignete und innovative Antworten auf drängende gesellschaftliche Fragen zu finden. Dieser Band ist das Ergebnis einer internationalen Zusammenarbeit, um diese Antworten und Reaktionen - from research to policies and practice - zu analysieren und zu evaluieren. Ziel ist es, neue Forschungsergebnisse zu Schlüsselthemen im Zusammenhang mit Fluchtmigration und Integration in Deutschland und Kanada zugänglich und nutzbar zu machen. Die hier vorgestellten Beiträge diskutieren nicht nur evidenzbasierte Ergebnisse zur Integration von Asylsuchenden und Geflüchteten in Kanada und Deutschland, sondern sie liefern auch wertvolle Ansätze, um öffentliche Akteure, soziale Institutionen und Mitglieder der Zivilgesellschaft dabei zu unterstützen, das Wohlbefinden und die Integration von Neuzugewanderten zu sichern.

AbstractThe United Nations High Commission for Refugees reports that more than half of the 65 million refugees and displaced people identified worldwide are under the age of 18. For this reason, researchers, practitioners and policymakers need to understand the consequences of forced migration on the integration of refugee children and youth in receiving countries. A first step to do that is to scope out the state of current research on these issues and identify possible gaps. To that end, the article offers a scoping review of peer-reviewed English and German academic articles on refugee children and youth's integration over a 20-year period. The review finds: little consensus on the definitions of 'children' or 'youth'; most studies focus on girls and boys that are between 12 and 19 years old; there is a focus on refugees landing in developed countries; and there is a lack of longitudinal and quantitative studies.

Research on American secondary cities has largely focused on so–called "rust belt" cities and has found that they tend to have economic stagnation, racialization, and urban decay in their urban cores occurring after economic crises. Most urban research on Canadian cities has, by contrast, focused on the country's largest cities, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver, and has found that urban cores are getting richer, less diverse, and undergoing infrastructural improvements. We examine each model by looking at four secondary Atlantic Canadian cities (Halifax, Moncton, St. John's, and Charlottetown) that all faced major economic crisis in the 1990s to see whether these models can explain the sociospatial changes occurring in them. Analysis of 1996 and 2006 Canadian Census data finds unlike "rust belt" cities or changes seen in larger Canadian cities, there is no clear sociospatial concentration of change. Rather, change is seen through "hot spots" of economic and physical characteristics of neighborhoods.

Given that children and adolescents constitute a growing and significant share of forced migrants worldwide, assessing the state of research on and the methods used to study the acculturation of this group is both timely and essential. The acculturation of refugee children and adolescents in host countries occurs primarily within educational institutions and through the acquisition of the language of the new host society. This scoping review of peer-reviewed journal articles published between 1987 and 2016 (N = 192 eligible studies) examined the extent to which individual-level factors (e.g., gender, age) and contextual factors (e.g., country of residence) emphasized by acculturation models have been considered in research involving young refugees in the educational domain. In addition, the research designs and methods applied in these studies were evaluated, and content analysis was performed to examine whether individual-level factors considered in the sample of studies were related to educational outcomes of young refugees. Overall, the review revealed that very few studies provided adequate information on sample composition, or considered individual and contextual factors, thus leaving crucial gaps in the knowledge about the acculturation of young refugees. Guidelines for future research are proposed to remedy the identified research deficits.

Der deutliche Anstieg von Asylsuchenden in Europa und die deutliche Ausweitung des Resettlementprogrammes in Kanada führen in Deutschland und Kanada zu neuen gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen. Evidenzbasiertes Wissen muss in beiden Kontexten neu generiert werden, um Integration von Geflüchteten erfolgreich gestalten zu können. Von 2006 bis 2015 nahm Kanada 266.000 Personen als Flüchtlinge auf. Deutschland gewährte im gleichen Zeitraum 266.000 Asylbewerbern und Asylbewerberinnen Aufenthaltstitel und nahm zwischen 2012 und 2015 mehr als 40.000 Personen innerhalb humanitärer Aufnahmeprogramme auf. 2015 wurden in Deutschland mehr als 890.000 Asylsuchende registriert.

Aktuell stehen nun beide Länder vor der großen Herausforderung, nicht nur die akute Notversorgung zu garantieren, sondern diesen Bevölkerungsgruppen Zugang zu allen wesentlichen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen zu ermöglichen. Um in diesem Prozess auch im internationalen Kontext voneinander lernen zu können, versucht diese Publikation internationale Vergleichsstudien anzuregen. Entsprechende Forschungsansätze zur Integration von Geflüchteten wurden bisher nur sehr randständig umgesetzt. Dieses Sammelwerk zeigt institutionelle und strukturelle Rahmenbedingungen auf, um Basiswissen zum Kontext der Integration von Geflüchteten in Kanada und Deutschland verfügbar zu machen. Systeme des Flüchtlingsschutzes und Bildungssysteme werden ebenso dargestellt wie die Rahmenbedingungen für den Zugang zu zentralen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen wie Wohnraum, Gesundheitsleistungen, Bildung und den Arbeitsmarkt. Systeme der öffentlichen Integrationsunterstützungsleistungen sowie die Unterstützung durch ethnokulturelle und religiöse Communities werden verdeutlicht. Unbegleitete minderjährige Geflüchtete im deutschen Kontext und Asylsuchende in Kanada werden als Subgruppen mit spezifischen Rahmenbedingungen in eigenen Beiträgen adressiert. Ausgangspunkt des Sammelwerkes bilden jedoch Narrative aus beiden Ländern von Personen mit Fluchthintergrund und von Mitgliedern der jeweiligen Mehrheitsgesellschaft.

Dieses Sammelwerk richtet sich vor allem an Studierende sowie Migrationsforscher und Migrationsforscherinnen. Es bietet jedoch auch Leser und Leserinnen aus dem Bereich der Integrations- und Migrationsarbeit übersichtliche und präzise Beiträge zum strukturellen Kontext der Integration von Geflüchteten in Kanada und Deutschland.
