While creative placemaking has proved a long-standing paradigm for the arts in city-making strategy, recently there has been a shift towards a cultural infrastructure approach. This article takes critical stock of this paradigm shift, to engage the broader question of whether we can design for culture in the built environment. Conceptualizing creative placemaking within a larger genealogical framework, I argue that this shift might be understood as responsive to some of the limitations and unintended social consequences of the movement: its temporal nature and contribution to cycles of gentrification and displacement.

Examines arts culture in the Arroyo Seco from the Arts and Crafts movement colony of the “Arroyo Culture” to the contemporary NELA art scene. It chronicles the major figures of this bohemia which waned with the decline of the region during decades of suburban outmovement and white flight. The significance of art collectives in the revival of the Northeast Los Angeles art scene is discussed, with Chicano(a)/Latino(a) art collectives emerging in the 1970s and white artists through the Arroyo Arts Collective in the 1980s. The central figures and themes of the Latino/a arts renaissance are explored in depth. The contributions of the arts to community development and cultural revitalization are identified. Finally the growing role of arts entrepreneurs in economic development is discussed, with reflections from arts leaders on the gentrification process and their growing role in local politics and cultural policy

<p>This article strives to examine which CSR assistance factors are effective in helping to alleviate the burdens of a community who lives near a cement site. The CSR factors are developed from underlying intens of Islamic law (<em>maqasid al-sharia</em>). The CSR activities which are done by the company towards the community residing near the site are in the form of community development and partnerships. This study was conducted in a community residing around a mine. Primary data were utilized. The data were retrieved with a survey technique, and 97 respondents were retrieved. Meanwhile, the data were analyzed by using a factor analysis. The analysis results depict that there are 6 kinds of education assistance in the CSR programs, where assistance in establishing free schools is not effective enough because it is used for employees’ children, while they comprise a very small portion of the community. There are 20 CSR health programs for the community, while the only one that is not very effective is the HIV prevention program, because the company does not implement an HIV prevention program for the community. There are 12 CSR programs for the environment, in which all of the programs are considered to be effective for the community. There are 6 CSR socio-religious programs, while only 2 of them are considered as not being effective, which are the holiday and animal sacrifice assistance. There are 4 CSR programs for public infrastructure, in which all of the programs are effective to alleviate the community’s burdens. There are 2 CSR programs for national holidays, in which all of the programs are effective for the community. There are 5 socio-cultural CSR programs, in which 2 of the CSR programs are considered to not be effective, which are the arts and culture mentoring as well as arts and culture festival assistance. There are 7 CSR programs for youth and sports activities, which are all considered effective for the community. There are 4 other CSR programs for social assistance, in which 2 of the programs are viewed as being ineffective, which are the retirement home and death assistance. There are 4 CSR programs for rotating fund assistance for SMEs, which are all deemed effective for the community. There are 3 CSR programs for managerial assistance for SMEs, in which 1 program is thought to be ineffective, which is the record keeping and accounting training program. There are 3 CSR programs for marketing assistance for SMEs, which are all considered effective for SMEs.</p>

Abstract The value of ‘the arts’ in community development is increasingly being recognized. This paper contributes to emerging insights on the various impacts of the arts on communities by highlighting when and how they can have binding and dividing effects on a community. We draw on a participatory research project conducted in Pingjum, a village in the Netherlands that hosts many cultural activities and in which many artists live. We discuss how the arts in Pingjum influence the community in the village. In our discussion, we pay attention to the sense of community that the arts generate, the meeting opportunities they provide and how the community is engaged by some artists. Our study shows that the influence of the arts is context-dependent, with the arts having both binding and dividing effects on the community in Pingjum. In terms of the value of the arts for community development, we emphasize three key issues: that the arts (i) do not have only advantages for a community; (ii) do not engage the entire community; and (iii) could potentially contribute to community fragmentation. Given these issues, we argue that the arts should be considered as one of several supportive means in community development processes. Ideally, they are integrated into a wider community development strategy and planning, and exist alongside other associations and activities in a community. In this way, the arts can contribute to the robustness of a community and assist it in developing the capacity and resources to flourish.
