היה לי את הכבוד להתארח בפודקאסט המעולה של Rotem Carmi ולדבר על המחקר שלי שעוסק בתחושת הביטחון של נשים בעת הליכה בשעות החושך, ועל המאפיינים התכנוניים שמשפיעים עליה. המחקר נערך בשכונת פלורנטין בתל אביב, שהיא במקרה גם השכונה שלי, וזכה במקום השני בתחרות של Israel Planners Association לעבודות ייחודיות וחדשניות. לינק למחקר המלא בתגובות >> Tel Aviv Yafo Municipality The Department of Geography, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Place to be Podcast | פודקאסט מקום להיות

I'm thrilled to share that the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has risen to 81st place in the 2024 Shanghai Ranking, marking a five-place improvement and reinforcing our position among the world's top 100 universities. This year, we stand alongside the Technion (85th) and the Weizmann Institute (69th), making it the second consecutive year that three Israeli universities are ranked among the global top 100. This achievement is a testament to the excellence and dedication of our academic community, and it highlights the significant contributions of Israeli academia on the world stage. As Professor Asher Cohen, our President, remarked, this ranking is a reflection of the groundbreaking research and unwavering commitment to excellence that defines Hebrew University. We are immensely grateful to our researchers, academic staff, and administrative team for their relentless efforts. Reflecting on nearly a century of academic excellence, I am deeply proud of how our university has not only upheld but expanded its impact, even during challenging times. As we concluded an academic year under extraordinary circumstances, the dedication of our faculty ensured that every Hebrew University student received the support they needed to succeed. This achievement is more than a ranking; it's a testament to the resilience and strength of our university community. Together, we continue to drive progress and innovation, making a decisive impact on a better future for all. https://lnkd.in/dr_A88tK #HebrewUniversity #AcademicExcellence #ShanghaiRanking2024 #ProudMoment #IsraeliAcademia

Recently, an article was published in the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication (JCMC), by Igal Baum and Prop. Rivka Ribak. Igal is currently a doctoral student in the Department of Geography under the supervision of Dr. Yair Grinberger. The article was based on Igal's thesis under the supervision of Prof. Rivka Ribak at the Department of Communication at the University of Haifa. The article delves into a surprisingly underexplored topic: the visual analysis of user interfaces in mobile applications. It focuses on navigation apps and dynamic maps, examining how they mediate economic ideologies. Additionally, the work employs semiotic-visual analysis, a rarely used methodological approach in communication, geography, and Geomedia studies. This use of semiotic approach enables deep insights into the hidden meanings and myths embedded within the user interfaces.   Methods of semiotic analysis (essentially the study of signs) can significantly aid researchers in communication, geography, sociology, as in other fields, utilizing the insights presented in this article in both theoretical and methodological contexts. https://lnkd.in/dUUpPEAm Igal Baum Rivka Ribak Yair Grinberger

🏙הסמינר שלי זכה במקום השני בתחרות של איגוד המתכננות והמתכננים לעבודות חדשניות וייחודיות! 🏙 במסגרת התואר השני שלי בתכנון ערים באוניברסיטה העברית, בדקתי כיצד מאפיינים תכנוניים משפיעים על תחושת הביטחון של נשים בשעות הלילה בפלורנטין, בהתבסס על סקר של מעל 100 משיבות וניתוחים מרחביים של גופי תאורה, פיזור עסקים וחיבוריות בין רחובות. תודה לד"ר נופר אבני, שהנחתה אותי בכתיבת המחקר לקורס 'המרחב כתשתית - קהילות וקונפליקטים עירוניים', ולכל המשיבות המדהימות שבלעדיהן לא היה מחקר. אשמח לכל שיתוף פעולה בנושא - מוזמנות לפנות אלי במייל: stavbil.piltz@mail.huji.ac.il בתמונה: אני ופאפי בפלורנטין, צילום של האחת והיחידה, מתכננת הסביבה האלופה תמר גוברמן. tamar guberman Nufar Avni Israel Planners Association The Department of Geography, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
