Arguments for funding new professional sport stadia with public money center upon the notion of community—fans’ connection with the teams and the money that teams bring into the community. Through the lens of community theorists like Wirth (1938, 1964), Bellah and colleagues (1985), and Putnam (2000), this paper locates the professional sport franchise within local community relations and analyzes the ways in which local elites attempt to evoke community support (both emotional and financial) for their franchise. Following Ingham and McDonald (2003), we argue that professional sport is not an effective means for re-building any lasting sense of community. The results of town meetings held with citizens of Hamilton County, Ohio, reveal schisms along class, urban/suburban, and fan/non-fan lines, demonstrating that public subsidization of professional sport not only does not (re)generate a community-as-a-whole, but indeed may further divide residents depending upon their situated interests.

In this article, we report experiences and reflections about community relations experienced through a research intervention entitled Public policies and medicinal community garden: building a manual for use in associative projects, of the Graduate Program in Territorial Planning - PLANTERR (professional master's degree) from Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana - Bahia. The research was conducted in the Community of Bastião in Retirolândia, Bahia with the participation of 12 women members from the Bastianense association. By applying the intervention research method, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the community and medicinal plants, as well as stimulate bonds between those involved, strengthening these bonds from the daily experience of the participants, their ways of life, their expectations and the relationships they maintain with the association and the local community. The result of this research-intervention was the implementation of a community garden of medicinal plants and the production of a socio-educational manual for the implementation of this type of vegetable garden.

Reflete sobre as políticas públicas de inclusão digital em um contexto comunitário de favela e a questão da vigilância urbana na contemporaneidade. É baseado em resultados da tese que investigou a relação entre inclusão digital, informação e cidadania na favela Santa Marta, localizada na zona sul do Rio de Janeiro/RJ. O estudo busca apoio na fundamentação teórica de Bauman, ao analisar a questão da fusão de formas sociais e sua relação direta com o sentido de comunidade e o paradoxo entre os valores de solidariedade e do individualismo na sociedade contemporânea. Percebe que o contexto de mudança do espaço urbano da favela, com reflexo nas relações sociocomunitárias e que conduz à noção da vigilância e da insegurança, produz uma alteração no comportamento dos movimentos comunitários locais. DIGITAL “INCLUSION”, COMMUNITY RELATIONS AND SURVEILLANCE Abstract Reflects on public policies of digital in a community context slum and the issue of urban surveillance in contemporary. Based on results of the thesis, which investigated the relationship between digital inclusion, information and citizenship in the favela Santa Marta, located in the southern zone of Rio de Janeiro/RJ. The study aims to support the theoretical basis of Bauman, in discussing the question of the merger of social forms and its direct relationship with the sense of community and the paradox between the values of solidarity and individualism in contemporary society. Realize that the changing context of the urban space of the slum, with an impact on social relationships and community and that leads to the notion of surveillance and insecurity, produces a change in the behavior of local community movements.

People With Dementia

Purpose – Financial abuse of people with dementia is of rising concern to family carers, the voluntary sector and professionals. Little is known about preventative and early response practice among community services staff. The purpose of this paper is to investigate voluntary sector staff's views of the risks of managing money when a person has a dementia and explore ways that individuals may be protected from the risks of financial abuse. Design/methodology/approach – An online survey of staff of local Alzheimer's Society groups across England was conducted in 2011 and was completed by 86 respondents. Open-ended responses supplemented survey questions. Statistical analysis and content analysis identified emergent findings. Findings – Most respondents said their people with dementia experienced problems with money management, with almost half the respondents reporting encountering cases of financial abuse over the past year. Most were alert to warning signs and vulnerabilities and offered suggestions relevant to practice and policy about prevention and risk minimization. Research limitations/implications – Adult safeguarding practitioners are likely to encounter money management uncertainties and concerns about exploitation of people with dementia. They may be contacted by community-based support staff from the voluntary sector about individual queries but could ensure that such practitioners are engaged in local training and networking activities to promote their skills and confidence. Practical implications – As with other forms of elder abuse, professionals need to be aware of risks of financial abuse and be able to suggest effective yet acceptable preventive measures and ways to reduce risks of harm and loss. Further publicity about adult safeguarding services may be needed among local community support services. Originality/value – There have been few studies investigating the views of people working with people with dementia in the community about adult safeguarding.

The Relationship

This study examined the associations between two factors of depressive experience (dependency and self-criticism) and satisfaction in adult romantic relationships. The Depressive Experiences Questionnaire, along with measures of attachment and relationship satisfaction, were administered to 107 men and 140 women attending local community colleges. Self-criticism was associated with global relationship distress and sexual dissatisfaction. In a combined regression equation, measures of self-criticism, attachment security, and attachment activation all contributed to predicting general relationship distress. Only scores on self-criticism predicted sexual dissatisfaction. The relationship dissatisfaction reported by those with high scores on self-criticism appears to be a relational aspect of the “destructiveness of perfectionism” described by Blatt.
