Die Sicherstellung der Qualitat sozialer Dienstleistungen ist in der Sozialen Arbeit zu einem zentralen Thema geworden. Spatestens seitdem die leistungserbringenden Einrichtungen der Sozialen Arbeit verpflichtet werden, Qualitatsentwicklungsvereinbarungen mit den Kostentragern abzuschliessen, werden in den Einrichtungen der Sozialen Arbeit flachendeckend Qualitatsmanagementsysteme eingeführt, die oft dem privatwirtschaftlichen Bereich entstammen. Sowohl fachlich, als auch sozialpolitisch relevant stellt sich hier die Frage, inwieweit mit solchen Managementmethoden die Qualitat der erbrachten Dienstleistungen gesichert oder gar verbessert werden kann. Die Ergebnisse dieser empirischen Untersuchung zeigen, dass die Entwicklung professionsbasierter Qualitatsentwicklungsverfahren bzw. eine angemessene Adaption von bestehenden Qualitatsmanagementsystemen für die Soziale Arbeit nach wie vor aussteht.

Summary

This book examines sport within contexts of urban regeneration, and looks at the place of sport within planning agendas for ‘cities of culture’. It also examines sport stadiums in city ‘re-imaging’ in relations to matters as public funding, environmental impact and urban infrastructure.
