This paper describes research investigating UN-Habitat’s experience supporting communities and local government to undertake urban planning following humanitarian crises. Two case studies were examined: Banda Aceh, Indonesia, following the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami in 2004; and Tacloban, the Philippines, following Super Typhoon Haiyan in 2013. The study found that urban planning following humanitarian crises can empower communities and governments to manage their own recovery. However, they may lack the knowledge, experience, time, tools or technology needed to take the lead. Organizations supporting urban communities and local government to undertake urban planning following humanitarian crises should consider: the most appropriate speed, scale and depth of the intervention given the context and their own funding and capacity; building local government capacity through secondments or partnerships; establishing a recovery and reconstruction planning task force; appropriate strategies for working with affected communities and their leaders; and advocating for national government support.

The size, scope, and implications of the carceral state, particularly for urban communities of colour, are currently grossly underestimated. This article suggests the need to move beyond the traditional debate about mass incarceration in the US to show how the ubiquitous imposition of fines and fees for low-level offences has wide-reaching poverty-enhancing and racially disparate effects. The author argues that local government institutions such as the police and courts, which comprise the carceral state at neighbourhood level, engage in daily practices that reflect the colourblind racism of neoliberalism, including revenue-generation, which necessarily produce and reinforce race and class inequalities. The American state has always managed and controlled black labour; the author compares the imposition of fines and fees in the wake of black Emancipation and Jim Crowism to the current practice of fines and fees functioning within the paradigm of neoliberal colourblind racism.

Abstract: The article shows a theoretical debate on the consequence of decentralization policy and Community Driven Development (CDD) especially in relation to the way capitalism develop. The decentralization policy reshapes local government bureaucracy more responsive and accountable toward people’s needs, and the CDD facilitate rural and urban communities to manage collectively efforts to eradicating their poverty condition. Both are promoted by neo-institutionalist thinking in the World Bank and Civil Society within the same interlocking direction. Furthermore, I explicate critiques toward theory and practice of decentralization policy and CDD, launched by Vedi Hadiz, Toby Carroll, Tania Li, and Frederich Rawski. I connect those with the theorization of the ways capitalism develop as articulated by Paul Cammack, Michael Perelman, Massimo de Angelis and David Harvey. I argue that the presence of space of struggle, contestation and negotiation open the possibility for multiple forces to participate, or refuse to participate, to reshape the practice of decentralization and CDD, and furthermore the forces dialectically are reshaped because of their struggle, contestation and negotiation.Intisari: Artikel ini mengemukakan debat teori dari konsekuensi kebijakan desentralasi dan Pembangunan Berbasis Masyarakat (CDD) terutama dalam hubungannya dengan bagaimana kapitalisme berkembang. Kebijakan desentralisasi telah membentuk pemerintah lokal menjadi lebih responsif dan akuntabel terhadap kebutuhan masyarakat, dan CDD telah memfasilitasi komunitas perkotaan maupun perdesaan untuk secara kolektif berusaha mengatasi kondisi kemiskinannya. Selanjutnya, penulis mengutarakan kritik terhadap teori dan praktik kebijakan desentralisasi dan CDD, yang dikemukakan oleh Vedi Hadiz, Toby Carroll, Tania Li dan Frederich Rawski. Penulis juga menghubungkan teori tersebut dengan teorisasi tentang bagaimana kapitalisme berkembang seperti yang dikemukakan oleh Paul Cammack, Michael Perelman, Massimo de Angelis dan David Harvey. Penulis berpendapat bahwa keberadaan ruang pertarungan, kontestasi dan negosiasi membuka kemungkinan untuk berbagai kekuatan untuk berpartisipasi, atau menolak untuk berpartisipasi, untuk membentuk kembali praktik desentralisasi dan CDD, dan selanjutnya kekuatan dialektika dibentuk kembali karena usaha, kontestasi dan negosiasi mereka.

The article analyzes the results of international and Russian studies of the level of trust of citizens. For example, studies of territorial areas, and the conclusion about the negative impact of low trust of citizens to power on the development of new territories. The low level of trust of residents in the government is considered as one of the key negative prerequisites that distorts the principles of creating urban communities. As a result, a chain of interaction between citizens is formed, which leads to the spontaneous formation of protest behavior. Based on the analysis of factors of influence that distort the motives for uniting urban residents into territorial communities, the author concludes that the importance of building trust in the authorities among residents is underestimated, which is classified as a serious omission in the management of the political space of the annexed territories.

Functional Value

This study examined the knowledge on functional value of edible insect in per urban communities of Ijebu Ode Local Government Area (LGA) in  Ogun State. Sixty residents were selected through purposive sampling from 11 communities in the LGA. Primary data collected through   administered questionnaire. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics such as simple percentage and frequency count were used. Hypothesis was tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). The results revealed that about half (48.3%) of the respondents were between 31-40 years. A larger percentage was male (61.7%) and Christian (61.7%). Majority (68%) was married and 63.3% possess tertiary education. About one third of the respondents (33.3%) were civil servants and 28.3% earn between ₦41,000-₦60,000. Cricket, termite, palm weevil, yam beetle, caterpillar, silkworm, and locust respectively were the identified indigenous species of insects being consumed by the people. Also, more of the respondents eat crickets followed by locust and then termites. The results further revealed respondents’ knowledge of functional values of edible insects’ consumption and constraints to edible insects’ consumption. The results of the Pearson Product Moment  Correlation revealed that there is no significant relationship between respondent’s socio-economic characteristics’ and their edible insect  consumption at p < 0.05. This study concludes that residents of peri urban communities have good knowledge of functional values of edible insects. It is therefore recommended that there should be more awareness on consumption of edible insects since it is nutritious so that people can benefit from the numerous nutrients of these edible insects. Key words: functional value, edible insect, Ijebu Ode, pearson product moment correlation
