dc.description.abstract | Organising significant sports and cultural events becomes an impulse to accelerate the development of cities and regions. The changes concern various elements of urban space, from public transport to building infrastructure. In the face of increased media interest, city authorities are trying to create a positive image of the city as a place to settle, invest and visit. This involves beautifying public areas where people from marginalised groups also lead their lives. The homeless, vagrants, prostitutes and drug and alcohol addicts, through their appearance and non-standard behaviour, differ from the designed image of the city. The article focuses on the activities of authorities and local governments related to cleaning public spaces from groups affected by social exclusion, which intensifies in the preparation period for the Summer Olympic Games. The text is based on a review of press reports, scientific literature, and reports from organisations dealing with the problem of marginalisation. Analysing the collected material allows for a discussion on the actions taken, their frequency and the socio-political situation in which they occur. The results show that regardless of the city in which the Games are held, marginalised groups experience similar repression of a similar nature using analogous tools. The article attempts to systematise the available knowledge in historical and social contexts. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Organizacja znaczących wydarzeń sportowych i kulturalnych staje się impulsem do przyspieszenia rozwoju miast i regionów. Zmiany dotyczą różnych elementów przestrzeni miejskiej, od transportu publicznego po infrastrukturę budowlaną. W obliczu zwiększonego zainteresowania mediów, władze miast starają się kreować pozytywny wizerunek miasta jako miejsca do osiedlania się, inwestowania i odwiedzania. Wiąże się to z upiększaniem przestrzeni publicznej, w której swoje życie prowadzą również osoby z grup marginalizowanych. Bezdomni, włóczędzy, prostytutki oraz osoby uzależnione od narkotyków i alkoholu swoim wyglądem i niestandardowym zachowaniem odbiegają od projektowanego wizerunku miasta. Artykuł koncentruje się na działaniach władz i samorządów związanych z oczyszczaniem przestrzeni publicznej z grup dotkniętych wykluczeniem społecznym, które nasila się w okresie przygotowań do Letnich Igrzysk Olimpijskich. Tekst powstał w oparciu o przegląd doniesień prasowych, literatury naukowej oraz raportów organizacji zajmujących się problemem marginalizacji. Analiza zebranego materiału pozwala na dyskusję na temat podejmowanych działań, ich częstotliwości oraz sytuacji społeczno-politycznej, w której występują. Wyniki pokazują, że niezależnie od miasta, w którym odbywają się igrzyska, grupy marginalizowane doświadczają represji o podobnym charakterze, przy użyciu analogicznych narzędzi. Artykuł stanowi próbę usystematyzowania dostępnej wiedzy w kontekście historycznym i społecznym. | pl |
