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.

Authentic Community

The South African people continuously engage in social actions characterised by intolerance, pointing to frustrations and disillusionment in a post-apartheid era. A need to find creative ways to engage diverse communities to work together to participate in their own development and well-being was identified. This article is based on long-term transdisciplinary discourse and work. The aim is to explore how the disciplines of social work, theology and the arts could contribute together towards the development of communities where participation, collaboration and cooperation as key principles of authentic community development are actively implemented. Within a transdisciplinary framework, the disciplines engaged in participatory research projects that resulted in findings that informed the development of a process where people at grassroots level become aware and more tolerant of each other, begin to work together and as such become involved in their own futures. It is concluded that by encouraging participation, collaboration and cooperation in social change processes, the South African people can be empowered towards working together and becoming involved in their own futures.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The disciplines of social work, theology and the arts entered into a transdisciplinary dialogue and work over the past years. The transdisciplinary team engaged in four participatory research projects to include input from grassroots levels to inform their understanding of how the different disciplines can better contribute towards a process of authentic community development in the diverse South African society. This resulted in the process

Penggunaan dana desa secara umum untuk Penyelenggaraan Pemerintahan Desa, Pelaksanaaan Pembangunan Desa, Pembinaan Kemasyarakatan dan untuk Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Desa. Dari keempat bidang tersebut, penggunaanya diprioritaskan untuk kegiatan pembangunan dan pemberdayaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penggunaan dana desa untuk pemberdayaan masyarakat dengan mengambil studi kasus di Kecamatan Borobudur, Magelang, Jawa Tengah. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian yuridis-normatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa paradigma Undang-undang yang dianut oleh pemerintah desa dalam memahami ketentuan tentang penggunaan dana desa untuk kegiatan pemberdayaan masyarakat telah melahirkan jenis-jenis kegiatan pemberdayaan yang limitatif pada kegiatan pelatihan, kegiatan keagamaan, bantuan keuanga dan penyertaan modal. Apabila pemberdayaan difahami sebagai strategi pembangunan maka jenis-jenis kegiatan pemberdayaan akan lebih variatif dan dapat menjangkau berbagai kegiatan yang selama ini dimasukan dalam bidang pembangunan. Chamber mengidentifikasi 4 prasarat kegiatan pemberdayaan, yaitu people centered, participatory, empowerment and sustainable. Apabila pendekatan chamber ini dipergunakan maka penggunaan dana desa akan lebih membawa dampak yang lebih besar. Dana desa tidak hanya akan difahami sebagai bantuan/hibah dari pemerintah pusat namun lebih pada stimulant pembangunan yang menuntut adanya partisipasi maupun swadaya dari masyarakat.The use of village funds is generally used for the Implementation of Village Government, Implementation of Village Development, Community Development and for the Empowerment of Village Communities. From these four pillars, the use is prioritized for development and empowerment activities. This research intended to analyses the use of village funds to conduct community development, by taking case in the Borobudur Subdistrict, Magelang, Central Java. The result of this study indicates that the paradigm of the law adopted by the village government in understanding the provisions on the use of village funds for community empowerment activities has given birth to limited types of empowerment activities in training activities, religious activities, financial assistance and equity participation. If empowerment is understood as a development strategy, then the types of empowerment activities will be more varied and can reach various activities that have been included in the field of development. Chamber identifies 4 principles of empowerment activities, namely people centred, participatory, empowerment and sustainable. If this chamber approach is used then the use of village funds will have a greater impact. Village funds will not only be understood as assistance / grants from the central government but rather to development stimulants that demand participation and self-help from the community.

<p>The success of the development of a nation is determined by the Human Development Index (HDI). International scale parameter indicates the level of development of human resources emphasizes on three areas: education, health, and income per capita. The various dimensions of community development was a collective responsibility to make it happen. One way to do is through the proselytizing activities of community empowerment. This is as done in the village of Pemalang district, Danasari that has HDI levels is low compared than other villages. Community development in this village was done by taking three primary focus , they are the field of economics, health, and education and religion.</p><p align="center"><strong>***</strong></p>Keberhasilan pembangunan suatu bangsa ditentukan oleh Human Develop-ment Indeks (HDI). Parameter berskala internsional ini menunjukkan tingkat pengembangan sumber daya manusia yang menitiberatkan pada tiga bidang yaitu pendidikan, kesehatan, dan pendapatan perkapita. Pengembangan masyarakat yang berbagai dimensi tadi merupakan tanggung jawab bersama untuk mewujudkannya. Salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan adalah melalui kegiatan dakwah pemberdayaan masyarakat. Hal ini sebagaimana dilakukan di Desa Danasari Kabupaten Pemalang yang memiliki tingkat HDI yang rendah dibandingkan desa lainnya. Pemberdayaan masyarakat di desa ini dilakukan dengan mengambil tiga fokus utama yaitu bidang ekonomi, bidang kesehatan, dan pendidikan dan keagamaan.

Key Issues

Background: Although interprofessional education (IPE) has come to be considered essential in health and social care education programs, most IPE programs in Japan focus on clinical settings. However, following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, IPE programs are considered essential for community development, especially in disaster-affected areas. To identify key issues for the development of IPE, we aimed to clarify the current status of IPE programs and problems in their implementation using an original questionnaire. Methods and Findings: The targets were 865 undergraduate courses that qualify students to take national registered health/social care examinations. Effective responses were received from 284 targets. Of these 284 respondents, 103 respondents had already implemented an IPE program and 181 respondents had not. Among the 103 respondents who had already implemented an IPE program, we found a tendency to collaborate with partners in clinical settings or in social settings. Furthermore, respondents who had implemented or were planning to implement an IPE program had difficulty with ‘interdisciplinary and/or extramural collaboration’ and ‘educational factors’. Conclusions: These difficulties could be considered barriers to developing effective IPE programs for community-based collaboration between health and social care professionals. Future research should investigate more specific solutions to these problems.

Industrial Center

Troso is a village that was developed by the government of the district of Jepara to be a tourist village. It has the potential of home-based crafts such as weaving which could be developed into industrial centers. However, not all community members realize the potential. The community members don?t recognize that Troso is going to be developed as a tourist village. On the other hand, the way the community member doing their business is very ineffective. There is no coordination with other businessmen to accommodate and to control the business. Each entrepreneur is working on their tradition to enrich their own business. One entrepreneur to another is a competitor. For these reasons, the village needs to be developed in order to be efficient for the welfare of all people in Troso. Purpose of this research is to understand the existence of Tenun Ikat Troso industrial center and to evaluate development strategy of Tenun Ikat Troso industrial center as a tourist village in the district of Jepara. SWOT. The results show that (i) Strength – Opportunity strategy was focusing on digging deeper of the potency and then wrap them up in a specific brand which will impact on economic sector, (ii) Strength – Threat strategy was focusing on offering the potency of the village to investor to create added value of the village to attract tourists, (iii) Weakness – Opportunity strategy was focusing on building the community awareness of a tourist village plan and the importance of Troso weaving industry association, and (iv). Weakness – Threat strategy was focusing on identifying existing weaknesses of the Troso tourist village and then inviting other stakeholders to get involved in developing the village.

The Village

Vysočina is the region with highest numbers of the smallest villages in the Czech Republic. The current levels of the infrastructure, conditions of living of the inhabitants and chances for development of the communities were examined by means of a questionnaire area survey over the entire number of villages and towns of Vysočina Region in 2007. Survey results were tested as concerns representativity, statistically grouped and ordered in the manner of contingenc tables. For those aspects, where the community representatives felt a degree of deterioration a detailed statistical analysis was carried out. For the groups of villages up to 199 head and up to 499 head significance tests were carried out first and the degree of dependence measured by the Cramer coefficient. Statistical significance was an argument for deeper analyses. Sign sketches for 0,1 %, 1 % and 5 % significance levels were prepared for all the contingency tables. The answers of the conjuncture research were reduced to an alternative statistical variable and association was further studied between the village size and the problem areas of the community development. Probabilities of the separate variants were stated and risks and chances were evaluated for the possibilities for the smallest villages to be threatened as compared with the larger ones. The research results are presented in the shape of risk probabilities, both the relative and absolute ones, using the less applied measures for the risk measurement in two-way contingency tables. The computations are commented verbally and they bring new looks upon the perception of increased risk and chances improvement problems by means of qualitative statistical attributes. The solution is not only practically important but it offers an applicable general methodology instruction, too, for detailed analyses in the empirical research of qualitative phenomena.
