This article explores regional Buddhist monasteries in Tang Dynasty (618–907 CE) China, including their arrangement, functions, and sources for their study. Specifically, as a case study, it considers the reconstruction of the Kaiyuan monastery 開元寺 in Sizhou 泗州 (present-day Jiangsu Province) with reference to the works of three prominent state officials and scholars: Bai Juyi 白居易 (772–846), Li Ao 李翱 (772–841), and Han Yu 韓愈 (768–824). The writings of these literati allow us to trace the various phases of the monastery’s reconstruction, fundraising activities, and the network of individuals who participated in the project. We learn that the rebuilt multi-compound complex not only provided living areas for masses of pilgrims, traders, and workers but also functioned as a barrier that protected the populations of Sizhou and neighboring prefectures from flooding. Moreover, when viewed from a broader perspective, the renovation of the Kaiyuan monastery demonstrates that Buddhist construction projects played a pivotal role in the social and economic development of Tang China’s major metropolises as well as its regions.

This chapter analyses the effects of introducing ICT as a support for the social record in elderly care. The effects of the electronic social record are assessed by analysing the different values the electronic social record supports. These values are discussed in terms of “value areas” (values related to administration, integration, professional, and care), which is a categorization of anticipated and experienced effects of using ICT in elderly care. This is a case study where the analysis is a comparison of the social record before and after the introduction of ICT as a support for using the social record. Furthermore, the study also assesses how valuable it is to use “value areas” as an analytical tool when evaluating the effects of ICT.

The authors introduce the Social Land Programmes, Hungary. Social Land Programmes aim to strengthen self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on social aid by helping people with no financial means to engage with small-scale agriculture. The case study investigated eight rural communities participating in a Social Land Programme. Innovative features include bottom up organisation designed and carried out locally (in contrast to top-down public employment programmes in Hungary). For local leaders, producing food and improving living standard are its main points. They also see various other benefits that include improving the social and physical environment and passing on positive role models within the family. However, they consider national goals of increased employment and self-sustainability to be over optimistic.

This paper aims to advance an understanding of the flows of remittances resulting from Albanian migration before and after coronavirus, their impact on the country’s development and ways to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and ensure resilience of remittance families in Albania. Over the years, migrants’ remittances have played an important role in the social and economic development of Albania and Albanian families. The health emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic is expected to reshape our economy and could be devastating for migrants too. This pandemic is expected to change the context for international migration and potentially cause a decrease in remittances from Albanian migrants. And yet, surprisingly, there is a lack of effective mechanisms, policies, and recovery paths for increasing the positive impact of remittances on the country's development. The paper suggests that the way remittances are managed is important. Based on the context of Albania, remittances can be encouraged and facilitated through developing private-public-people partnerships, lowering costs, and using them for entrepreneurial initiatives rather than consumption. The key contributions of the paper lie in extending discussions of the value of collecting data on remittances, providing a dynamic view of the multiplicity of factors behind remittances.

Kecamatan Muncar Kabupaten Banyuwangi ditetapkan sebagai kawasan Minapolitan diharapkan mampu meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat baik di dalam kawasan maupun daerah sekitarnya. Masyarakat Desa Kedungrejo dan Tembokrejo mayoritas bekerja pada sektor perikanan, sehingga diasumsikan memiliki dampak langsung dari kebijakan minapolitan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perubahan kondisi sosial dan ekonomi masyarakat Kecamatan Muncar sebelum dan sesudah adanya program minapolitan serta mengetahui tingkat kesejahteraan masyarakat berdasarkan kondisi sosial ekonomi tersebut. Penelitian dilakukan pada 23 hingga 27 September 2018 dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif dari hasil wawancara terhadap beberapa pelaku industri, perangkat desa, kepala TPI, dan beberapa nelayan. Analisis dilakukan secara deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan perindustrian dan sarana prasarana yang menunjang kegiatan perikanan sudah ada sejak tahun 1990-an. Aspek sumberdaya manusia dari segi pendidikan tidak mempengaruhi perkembangan tingkat produksi ikan, sehingga dengan ditetapkannya Kecamatan Muncar sebagai kawasan minapolitan tidak memberikan pengaruh secara signifikan baik kepada kondisi sosial-ekonomi maupun kesejahteraan masyarakat. Rekomendasi yang perlu diterapkan untuk pengembangan program minapolitan di Kecamatan Muncar dapat dilakukan melalui peningkatan sumberdaya manusia seperti penetapan sekolah yang berisi pembelajaran mengenai perikanan dan kelautan, serta peningkatan infrastruktur pendukung. Kedua aspek tersebut perlu ditunjang oleh aspek komitmen daerah sesuai dengan  Peraturan Menteri Kelautan dan Perikanan Nomor: PER.12/MEN/2010 tentang MinapolitanTitle: Analysis of Minapolitan Impact on the Community Welfare  in Muncar Subdistrict Banyuwangi Regency  (Case Study: Tembokrejo and Kedungrejo Villages)Muncar Subdistrict was designated as a Minapolitan area to improve the welfare of the  community both within and surrounding areas. It is assumed that Minapolitan policy gives a direct impact on the major livelihood of Kedungrejo and Tambakrejo people in fisheries sector. This study aims to measure the social and economic changes of Muncar community before and after the Minapolitan program as well as to measure the level of the community welfare based on these socio-economic conditions. The study was conducted on 23 to 27 September 2018 based on interviews with industry players, village officials, heads of fish markets and fishers. Data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative method. The results showed that fisheries industry and its facilities have been existed since 1990s. The education level of its community does not affect the fish production. It means that Minapolitan program has not given significant impact to the socio-economic condition and community welfare. It is recommended to improve the capacity of community through learning material at school concerning fisheries management and marine affairs as well as to increase the supporting infrastructure. These two aspects should be encouraged by regional commitment based on Regulation of Minister of Marine Affairs and No: PER.12/MEN/2010 regarding Minapolitan.

AbstractChina is facing a language endangerment crisis, with half of its languages decreasing in number of speakers. This article contributes to the understanding of language endangerment in China with a case study of the Gochang language, which is spoken by about 10,000 Tibetans in western Sichuan. We describe Gochang as an “invisible” language – one that is overlooked by the state's ethnic and linguistic policies and thus is more vulnerable to the social transformations wrought by statist development. Using UNESCO's language vitality and endangerment framework to assess the endangerment of Gochang, we conclude that the language is “definitely endangered.” Our comparison of Gochang with other “invisible” languages in China shows that most are in a similar predicament, suggesting that China's language endangerment crisis is likely to continue unless these languages receive formal recognition or local governments take advantage of ambiguities in the policy framework to support them. The social impacts of a continuing, deepening language endangerment crisis in China are as yet unknown.

Social Capital Perspective

Cooperatives in the international coffee sector can help build farmer capacity, increase coffee productivity, and improve farmer welfare. The purpose of this research was to examine Guatemalan coffee cooperatives to determine unique attributes, social capital perspectives, and social impacts on small holder farmers. Four perspectives on social capital and economic development were examined across cases: (a) the communitarian view, (b) the networks view, (c) the institutional view, and (d) the synergy view. The research design was mini-ethnographic case study with cross-case synthesis. The emerging themes were (a) economic impacts, (b) multiple generation farmers, (c) capacity building trainings to improve crop management, (d) use of shade trees and organic matter for soil amendments, (e) service learning/agritourism, and (f) use of microloans to enhance economic development. Based upon the exploratory cases, each community had similar and unique internal and external interactions that could be triangulated with social capital perspectives. Networks were formed between members of the co-ops (intracommunity) giving a sense of community and purpose (i.e. agritourism, service learning) and external sources (i.e. workshops/trainings and a USAID research plot). The concept of social capital perspective gives insight into an explanation of economic development.
