Limited Opportunity

AbstractFor many children across the globe, whether in low or high income nations, growing up in the 21st century will mean living in overcrowded, unsafe and polluted environments which provide limited opportunity for natural play and environmental learning. Yet Agenda 21, the Habitat Agenda and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child all clearly articulate the importance of urban environments as the context for supporting children's sense of place, community identity and empathy with the natural world. I will argue in this paper that these attributes are all key drivers for supporting children in their role as future decision makers and environmental stewards. Extending Winnicotts' concept of “holding environments” beyond the social and cultural aspects of communities as sites for placemaking I draw a link to the value of botanical gardens and other green spaces in cities as the “holding environments” for children's environmental learning. I will construct an argument around the premise that to participate in, and contribute to, global sustainability - our children need places and the opportunity to engage, connect and respond to nature.

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la construcción, sustentabilidad y usos del capital social comunitario en un movimiento social argentino que plantea la horizontalidad y la autonomía como valores fundamentales de organización social. A través del análisis de la dinámica de tres tipos de capital social —unión, puente, y nexo—, se observa que el movimiento en cuestión consigue crear rápidamente capital social comunitario y una identidad común diferenciadora. Sin embargo, el capital social rápidamente construido no logra sustentarse en el tiempo, debido a la incapacidad de sus integrantes en generar mecanismos descentralizados y eficientes de monitoreo mutuo, responsabilidad compartida y penalización moral que protejan el bien común y refuercen la identidad comunitaria a través de redes sociales densas.   ABSTRACTThe objective of this article is to analyze the construction, sustainability and uses of community social capital in a social movement in Argentina that identifies horizontality and autonomy as fundamental values of social organization. By analyzing the dynamics of three types of social capital —bonding, bridging and linking— we can observe that the movement studied here is able to rapidly create community social capital and  differentiating common identity. Nevertheless, the social capital rapidly constructed is not sustained over time, because the movement’s members are unable to generate decentralized, efficient mechanisms for mutual monitoring, shared responsibility and moral penalization that will protect the common good and strengthen community identity through dense social networks.

The Impact

The effect of community capacity on health was evaluated by assessing the community via a questionnaire that included a capacity index in the social capital scale. The impact of the length of residence and the size and solidarity of networking on community capacity was also explored. The authors used logistic regression models controlling for sociodemographic factors and health behaviors among 1019 residents. The results indicate that lower community identity and social trust all led to statistically poor health levels. The manner in which members perceive their community was determined by cohesion, participation, length of residence, and the extent and strength of a member’s network. Partnerships among and the subsequent organization of public resources by community members helped solidify the sense of community. With enhanced levels of sense of community, the collective level of health among residents can be readily and effectively improved.

The Town

Daxi is a famous historical town of north Taiwan, because of the preservation of the historic buildings of streets. It began to build the home identity of the locals from the 1990s. By the community participation shown the ancient culture of the town successfully, it became an attractive place for the tourism in Taiwan during the recent ten years. While the industry and lifestyle in the town are changing, it has a bearing on the power of the community groups. The life in the town is not convenient and low quality. Young people were left to work outside the community, and the social relation is to harden into stone. By the time goes on, the sense of place is changing to reconstruct the “Local.” While the industry changed, the culture is much different from the traditional, and the young people have a different dream of their home community. We found some alienated feeling in young people of the town from the workshop discussion of the “Dasi-field school”.However, in recent three years, the eco-museum project by participating with the local people, and it stimulated some learning programs in the community. In these two years, some young people would like to stay in the community and have some creative businesses. The occurrence of educational activities facilitates the translation of local knowledge. Through this study, we tried to understand if local people's sense of place was changed, as well as young people's identity of community life.In this action research, firstly, we had data analysis about the community learning-landscape of the community. Finally, we want to discuss how learning programs make sense of the neighborhood change and flow. Based on experiential research, we came up with a learning landscape model, in an attempt to construct the interactive relation between learning and community identity. Furthermore, we presented a new partner relation between community development and the design of educational courses.

Urban Rehabilitation

The neighbourhood of Mouraria in the center of Lisbon is today home to three main groups of residents: traditional residents, new gentrifiers, and immigrants. This diversity is simultaneously a strength of and a threat to its social cohesion and its current urban rehabilitation process, undertaken by the City Council of Lisbon (CCL). This study has three main goals: 1) to analyze how the ‘community identity’ maps of the neighbourhood are constructed by residents’ discourse; 2) to analyze how the ‘official’ cultural map of the neighbourhood is constructed in the discourses of the press and the CCL; and 3) to compare the ‘official’ and the ‘community’ maps. In drafting the ‘community’ maps, 22 interviews were conducted with traditional residents (14), new gentrifiers (6), and immigrants (2). The ‘official’ cultural map was re-constructed through a press analysis (four articles from two reference newspapers: Público, 2014; Expresso, 2013) and an in-depth interview with the coordinator of the CCL office in Mouraria. Findings show that the rehabilitation program is represented in the ‘official’ discourse in a more positive way than in residents’ discourses. The main divergence concerns the targets of the intervention. However, in both discourses there is agreement regarding the social problems of Mouraria. The stories of the past told by traditional residents, although mentioning the loss of the traditional character of Mouraria, show the importance of public spaces for place attachment and place identity. The discourses of new residents highlight the role of places in building connections between past and present, and in helping maintain a sense of continuity. We discuss the importance of community identity mapping in understanding the ‘battle of ideas’ around urban rehabilitation and the impact that different perspectives can have. The study can be a source of information for decision-makers, helping strengthen the communication bridge between them and the community.Keywords: community identity maps, official cultural map, place relations, multicultural community, rehabilitated neighbourhood Résumé: Le quartier de Mouraria au coeur de Lisbonne est aujourd’hui habité par des habitants provenant de trois catégories sociales, soit : la population traditionnelle du quartier, les populations gentrifiées et les migrants. Cette diversité est à la fois une opportunité et un défi au processus de régénération urbaine développé par le Conseil de la ville de Lisbonne (CVL). Cette étude a trois objectifs: 1) comprendre l’identité communautaire et en faire une cartographie à partir des discours des différents résidents; 2) analyser comment la cartographie culturelle opérée par la presse et le CVL; 3) comparer les deux cartographies, soit la cartographie officielle et celle des résidents. Pour les fins de cette recherche, la cartographie des résidents a été produite à partir de 22 entrevues, dont 14 entrevues réalisées auprès de residents dits traditionnels, six entrevues auprès des populations gentrifiées et deux entrevues ont été conduites auprès de migrants habitant le quartier. Pour sa part, la carte officielle a été réalisée par le biais d’une analyse presse (soit quatre articles provenant de Público, 2014; Expresso, 2013) et à partir d’une entrevue en profondeur réalisée auprès du coordonnateur du projet de revitalisation de Mouraria du CVL. Les résultats de cette enquête illustrent que la representation officielle du projet est de loin plus positive que celle exprimée par les résidents. Les principals différences de perception se situent au niveau des objectifs du programme de revitalisation, bien que les deux discours reconnaissent les problèmes sociaux du quartier. Les discours des résidents traditionnels mettent en évidence un attachement mémoriel pour le passé, mais il illustre également l’importance de l’espace public dans les processus de construction identitaire. Pour sa part, le discours des nouveaux résidents met en relief l’importance du passé et du présent ainsi que la nécessité de préserver une certaine continuité dans cette ligne du temps du quartier. Cet article met en débat l’importance du conflit des représentations en contexte de régénération urbaine et les conclusions ouvrent sur des constats d’une grande utilité pour les praticiens du domaine.Mots clé: carte d’identité de la collectivité, carte culturelle officielle, relations entre des endroits, communauté multiculturelle, voisinage restauré

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar cómo la organización social para la gestión del agua de consumo humano ha conservado la identidad comunitaria del territorio rural en el Azuay y ha sido la base para que esta organización rural localizada trascienda hacia el nivel nacional a través de sus líderes y sus discursos. Se parte del concepto de territorio como producto de la acción de los seres humanos y sus dinámicas que devienen en procesos sociales, culturales, económicos y políticos que adquieren dimensiones simbólicas tales como la identidad territorial y la concepción de lo comunitario. La metodología usada para el levantamiento y análisis de la información fue cualitativa, lo que permitió analizar los discursos de los sujetos y sus significados con base en entrevistas y grupos focales, generando evidencia de que la gestión del agua evolucionó desde un estado tradicional aislado, hasta un estado de organización local con incidencia nacional. Esto ha permitido llevar las características de lo comunitario hacia la organización de tercer grado. Se puede decir que la gestión del agua puede ser la base del mantenimiento de la organización rural, sin que ello implique ubicarse únicamente en dicha esfera, sino trascender hacia la presencia organizativa y política nacional. Abstract The aim of this article is to analyze how the social organization for management of water intended for human consumption has maintained the community identity of the rural territory in Azuay and has been as well the basis for the transcendence of this rural organization to the national level through the presence of community leaders and their discourse. The article assumes the territory as a result of human actions carried out through dynamics that become social, cultural, economic and political processes and acquire symbolic dimensions such as territorial identity and the conception of the community. The qualitative methodology that has been used for the gathering and analysis of information, made it possible to examine the discourses of the subjects and their meanings based on interviews and focal groups, generating evidence that water management has evolved from a traditional isolated state to a state of local organization with nationwide significance. This has made it possible to bring the community characteristics to a third-grade organization. As a conclusion, we propose that water management not only may be the basis for the maintenance of rural organization, which shall not imply remaining in this area, but also is able to transcend to the national political and organizational presence.

The Relationship

In order to obtain a better understanding why some entrepreneurs retain more control over their venture than others, this article analyzes the relationship between the social identity of the entrepreneur and her/his desire for control. In fact, entrepreneurs face an important tradeoff between attracting resources required to build company value and retaining decision-making control. Yet, we currently lack insight into whether and how entrepreneurs’ social motivations shape this trade-off. This study draws on social identity theory and a unique sample of 148 buyout entrepreneurs, as this setting confronts aspiring entrepreneurs directly with the value–control tradeoff. In our logistic regression, we find that entrepreneurs with a strong missionary identity, where venture creation revolves around advancing a cause, hold a higher desire for control. We do not observe a significant relationship between entrepreneurs having a Darwinian (driven by economic self-interest) or communitarian (driven by the concern for the community) identity and the desire to control their venture. When adding the moderating role of the portion of personal wealth the entrepreneur is willing to invest in her/his venture, the relationships between having a Darwinian or missionary social identity and the desire for control become significantly positive when the entrepreneur is looking to invest a larger portion of her/his wealth.

Abstract This article examines one literary expression of the ambiguities of violence in community life through a reading of Patrick Friesen’s The Shunning. By looking to the ways in which the social bonds of community identity are achieved, maintained, and challenged within the ostensibly nonviolent community of Old Colony Russian Mennonites that Friesen’s work portrays, this study focuses on how confluences of community, power, and violence are represented in literary form. Using tools provided by Miranda Joseph’s Against the Romance of Community and Michel Foucault’s critique of Enlightenment blackmail, the following study brings aspects of Mennonite transgressive literature into conversation with critical theory and interprets the portrayal of community discipline in The Shunning within the broader context of the contested relationships between the Enlightenment, modernity, and postmodernity.
