For these efforts there seems to be one common denominator: The "socio-spatial view" as a basis for collaboration of different partners for the improvement of local living conditions and the social, educational and healthcare services (Deinet 2002, 295). Unlike the old time in geography when people accepted a space as blocked boundary (Example: A capitalist space, neoliberal space or city space), we began to realize that there is no such thing like boundaries in space. Newbury Park.Snow, J. (eds.) Until the 1980s, theorizing the concept of ‘scale’ itself was taken for granted although physical and human geographers looked at issues from ‘regional scale’ or‘national scale’. For the hierarchy of Russian Matryoshka nesting dolls, the global can contain other scales but this does not work the other way round; for instance, the local cannot contain the global.

The “public sphere” is generally conceived as the social space in which different opinions are expressed, problems of general concern are discussed, and collective solutions are developed communicatively. This approach follows the concept to discover, analyse and shape social spaces in order to create social conditions that enable processes of social development (Deinet 2006; Deinet/Krisch 2006; Deinet/Reutlinger 2004; Böhnisch/Münchmeier 1990). Die Sozialwahltheorie (engl. (eds.) Michel Foucault defines space as; Space and Social Theory: Interpreting Modernity and Postmodernity. Deinet, U. Third Space " (Social) space is a (social) product the space thus produced also serves as a tool of thought and of action in addition to being a means of production it is also a means of control, and hence of domination, of power." In this sense, socio-spatial approaches would search for solidarities and try to enhance local networks (Reutlinger 2009, 29). All spaces are the hybrids of global and local; so they are ‘glocal.’. In the model of ecological zones, Dieter Baacke (1984; figure 1) explained the social embeddedness of the development of children within local social spaces by referring to a ecological model that was originally developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner (Bronfenbrenner 1979; Grundmann/Kunze 2008, 179). Place space has more meaning than a place, and it can represent as different type of space. Baltmannsweiler. Following these ideas, social spaces are regarded as double structures with two connected perspectives (Deinet 2007, 113-120): The socio-spatial paradigm follows an interactive perspective that tries to focus on the mutual connection of these two dimensions.

Such an appreciation of metaphors is important because it suggests that how we talk about scale impacts upon the ways in which we engage socially and politically with our scaled world and that may impact on how we conduct our social, economic and political praxis and so make landscapes ( Herod,A[22] ), Ontological status of the global and the local, Foucault, Michel (1991, orig.
