T2 - INUAS Conference 2019: Housing under Pressure. Dynamics Between Centers and Peripheries. Book of Abstracts N2 - Ausgehend von der zentralen Fragestellung, inwiefern sich für die Zielgruppe wohnungslose Menschen mit Hilfe internetbasierter Hilfe- und Beratungsangebote Inklusionseffekte erzielen lassen und deren Selbstbestimmung und Partizipation gefördert werden können, wird beispielhaft anhand der Großstadt Nürnberg in einem interdisziplinären Forschungsprojekt an der TH Nürnberg untersucht, welche Informations-, Unterstützungs- und Beratungsbedarfe bei wohnungslosen Menschen vorliegen und in welcher Form diese mit Hilfe digitalisierter Angebote gedeckt werden können.

September 2023 N2 - This paper reflects on an interdisciplinary and method triangulation approach for digital product development. The research project "Smart Inclusivity for homeless people" (SIWo), conducted by the Ohm, is cited as an example. In the project, research methods from qualitative social sciences involving group discussions and interviews were combined with a human-centered design process to develop customized digital products that aim to support homeless people in their everyday life. In the Social Sciences Research subproject, (digital) needs of homeless people were identified. In a human-centered design process, these results were used to define the context of use for product development. The project yielded several digital solutions, including apps for information needs like "Stromer Max" and "Schlaue Lise," along with concepts for housing and peer support apps. Additionally, a public Wi-Fi and charging station was installed in Nuremberg. Incorporating qualitative social research methods into the product development process can provide valuable insights and improve the human-centered design process, especially in the context of addressing social issues like homelessness. These methods help understand user needs and preferences in a more nuanced way than traditional Design Thinking approaches. However, challenges of time-intensive evaluations and issues of bridging the gap between social research and technical product development have to be faced. Overall, the paper emphasizes the potential for societal transformations through such interdisciplinary collaboration in the field of product development.

Social Inequalities and the Compliance of Labour Law N2 - In the German context of non-standard work, the protection of labour law is one of the most developed labour legislations in the world. By labour law standard and non-standard workers should be treated equally and a substantive understanding of equality at work is achieved. However, on a micro sociological level different practices regarding the compliance of la-bour law can be stated. Not every employer entitles non-standard workers according to la-bour law. But: In spite of feeling discriminated or knowing that they are being discriminated non-standard and sometimes even standard employees accept such incorrect treatment. The research question that arises here is: Why do employees not demand the compliance of la-bour law, although they had the right to. This question is crucial for understanding how la-bour law is being applied. Our empirical study shows that the non-compliance of labour law is not only subject of legal conflicts being brought to court. It is also due to employees not claiming their legitimate rights. From a juridical point of view, the law protects employees in order to let them claim their rights. However in reality, there are more aspects that have to be taken into account. In the context of a research project of the Institute for Employment Research in Germany employees were interviewed on labour law compliance and working time preferences. These qualitative interviews serve as the data base for our empirical analysis. Specifically, we fo-cus on situations in which labour law was not fully complied by the employer. As we will show, there is a difference between the fact of having the (legitimate) right and the subjec-tive feeling of power to demand. The latter is – as our results show – related to the awareness of being a high potential employee with a specific habitus. On the one hand, the self-confidence of performing well within the company encourages employees to demand the compliance of one’s rights within the labour context. On the other hand, employers want to keep their high potentials. However, employees having low self-confidence and less labour market opportunities weigh their chances before demanding the compliance with their labour rights even though they had the right to do so. Effects of gender, qualification level and im-migration status are not surprising. Following our empirical results, our argument is that the relationship between being a high potential employee and having more opportunities to demand the compliance of labour law implies a change in the understanding of labour law appliance. A law which is supposed to have a general validity turns out to be – at least in some contexts – individualized and related to the market power of employees. So the appliance of labour law is partially subject to eco-nomic rules. What can be shown is that social inequality can lead to legal inequality. In our understanding these results can evoke an interesting discussion about the interference of rights, law and economic power in highly industrialized countries.
