The City

Cape Town is a fast-growing cityscape in the Cape Floristic Region in South Africa with 24 formally protected conservation areas including the World Heritage Table Mountain National Park. These sites have been protected and managed as critical sites for local biodiversity, representing potentially one-third of all Cape Floristic Region flora species and 18% of South Africa’s plant diversity. Cape Town is also inhabited by a rapidly growing culturally and economically diverse citizenry with distinct and potentially conflicting perspectives on access to, and management of, local natural resources. In a qualitative study of 58 locally resident traditional healers of distinct cultural groups, we examined motivations underlying the generally illicit activity of harvesting of wild resources from Cape Town protected areas. Resource harvester motivations primarily link to local economic survival, health care and cultural links to particular resources and practices, ‘access for all’ outlooks, and wholesale profit-seeking perspectives. We describe these motivations, contrast them with the current formal, legal and institutional perspectives for biodiversity protection in the city, and propose managerial interventions that may improve sustainability of ongoing harvest activities.

Great Harm

The present alarming environmental world crisis is the uncontrolled generation and illegal dumping of solid waste (SW) that poses great harm to public health and the environment (Ali & Sion, 2014). Poor waste management may cause air, water, and soil contamination. The Republic Act 9003 (RA 9003) or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act (ESWMA) had been in place for several years. However, its implementation was a challenge for every LGU, including in a highly urbanized city. Hence, the paper examined the level of implementation of the provisions and enforcement of prohibited acts on ESWMA of barangays as assessed by community leaders as a whole and according to their geographical location and income. Also, it explores the challenges encountered by the barangays and the recommendations of the community leaders in the implementation of RA 9003 and the local ordinance enacted by the city.

This contribution examines the city of Marseille’s strikingly vague relationship to its colonial past. Through an analysis of economic policies developed in response to the national government’s colonial expansion, the essay shows how Marseille’s business leaders effectively channeled natural resources from throughout the French Empire to enhance their own production capacities. Aided by the population flow to and through the city, industry in Marseille also took advantage of access to cheap colonial labor. After the independence of Vietnam and Algeria, however, local leaders were faced with a new challenge with the mass arrivals of European populations who chose to resettle in France. Today the city’s relationship with its colonial past remains palimpsestic: readily visible in heavily Algerian neighborhoods such as Belsunce but officially unacknowledged by museums or memorials.

This chapter based on fieldwork in Muzaffarnagar and Shamli districts describes the communal incidents from 2011 onwards and the riots in September 2013. Contrasting narratives emerged from discussions with community leaders in Muzaffarnagar town and selected Jat-dominated and Muslim-majority villages forming the epicentre of the riots, which indicate high levels of aggression, a pogrom and Muslim exodus in some villages. The fieldwork revealed the deeply implicating role of political parties: local BJP leaders were aware of and in some cases involved in the rioting; SP leaders remained largely silent hoping to gain Muslim support in the 2014 elections. As the BSP’s support base and cadre straddles the Hindu, that is, Dalit and Muslim community, local leaders found it difficult to deal with the rioters. These developments indicate the successful creation in these districts particularly in the sample villages, of a system of institutionalized everyday communalism, visible two years after the riots.

Matthew Downs explores the impact of Sunbelt-era federal development and the response of civic and commercial leaders to the civil rights movement, demonstrating how local leaders worked closely with government officials to attract and maintain such installations and the accompanying public and private investment. When federal officials and their representatives in the city made clear that southern intransigence on civil rights would adversely affect the local, space-based economy, Huntsville’s civic leaders modulated their approach to civil rights in the hopes of ensuring continued support. Such action was particularly surprising, given the overtly hostile response to the movement by Alabama’s other local leaders and the state government. While Huntsville was not without conflict, the presence of the federal government, combined with the threat that southern resistance might lead to a withdrawal of federal support, led the city to a more moderate reaction when the city’s local movement pressured for equality.

Resumo: O artigo analisa a prática social da doação de terras como uma das baseshistóricas de formação dos atuais campos de poder econômico e político que estruturam o espaço físico, social e simbólico da cidade de Poço Fundo (MG). Com base em insights presentes no exame antropológico da dádiva realizado por Mauss, investigo a lógica sociossimbólica da doação de terras pelos fazendeiros e a dinâmica de subordinação política que tais doações põem em jogo na cidade, transformando os fazendeiros doadores em chefes locais. Como parte de um estudo histórico mais amplo da formação do espaço sociogeográfico de Poço Fundo, pretendo indicaro processo de “territorialização da dádiva” como um dos desdobramentos da sua “matrizterritorial”, isto é, da tradicional fazenda cafeeira, um modelo de organização sociossimbólicado território que prepondera até hoje nas formas pelas quais a cidade é social e culturalmente percebida, apropriada e vivenciada pelos seus habitantes.Palavras-chave: Dádiva; espaço geográfico e rural; poder político local; Poço Fundo; territorialização. Abstract: The article analyzes the social practice of land donation as one of thehistorical bases for the formation of the current fields of economic and political power thatstructure the physical, social and symbolic space of the city of Poço Fundo (MG). Based oninsights present in Mauss’ anthropological investigation of the gift, I examine the social-symboliclogic of land donations carried out by farmers and the dynamic of political subordination thatstems from such donations, transforming donor farmers into local leaders. As part of a largerhistorical study of the occupation and transformation of Poço Fundo’s social-geographic space,I intend to indicate the process of “territorialization of the gift” as one of the offsprings of its “territorial matrix”, that is, the traditional coffee plantation, a model of social-symbolical organization that prevails till today in the forms whereby the city is socially and culturallyperceived, appropriated and experienced by its inhabitants.Keywords Geographical and rural space; gift; local political power; Poço Fundo; territorialization.

Improve Health

Rates of chronic disease are a long-term problem in the City of Montclair, a predominately high minority community with low socioeconomic status and limited resources. There is a need for leadership in small local jurisdictions, such as Montclair, to champion sustainable and effective health promotion strategies that meet the needs of its citizens and is accessible and tailored to the population.The purpose of this case study is to utilize a cross-sector social ecological lens to develop strategies for the City of Montclair to improve health through a collaborative health in all policies (HiAP) approach. This analysis of HiAP as a means to improve health, includes the incidence of chronic disease, uses document review and semi-structured interviews to adapt a logic model meant to guide a HiAP initiative for the City of Montclair. It also identifies the next steps in guiding a future HiAP initiative. Stakeholders within the City of Montclair were recruited to provide feedback on utilizing a HiAP approach to improve health. Five stakeholders participated in semi-structured interviews and were asked about barriers to creating a HiAP initiative in Montclair, how messaging can be better tailored for multiple sectors to buy-in, the feasibility of engaging high-level stakeholders and community leaders, and the potential benefits of HiAP in Montclair. This study fills a major need for investigation of how local municipalities might begin a HiAP initiative. Five critical themes were derived from the document review and from the six interviews conducted with Montclair city staff and community leaders provide perspective and insight into plans for a HiAP initiative. The five overall themes mentioned by both include: (1) communications and messaging, (2) incorporating health into decision making, (3) assessments and data collection, (4) building awareness and political support, and (5) formalizing HiAP. HiAP is an approach to improve chronic disease rates and ensure that future decisions are cross-sectoral and made only after serious consideration of their impacts on health. Other small cities can use this as an example of how to examine their specific environments and determine what they need to do and how to employ the existing literature as they tailor a foundational logic model for their own use.
