Geospatial-qualitative methods, which combine both observation and interpretative accounts during data collection through extended exposure and movement in place, have been increasingly used to explore “person–place” interactions and assess communities of place. Despite their increased use, there is a lack of reflexive discussion on how they differ in capturing person–place interactions and ways to combine them. Drawing on our experiences using three related methods—Photovoice, Walking through Spaces, and interactive Participatory Learning and Action exercise-led community focus groups—we compared the methodological advantages that each method brings to the construction of “place” and in exploring person–place interactions among the community of older adults living in a neighborhood of Singapore for a neighborhood assessment. We then illustrated how using a Focus–Expand–Compare approach for methodological triangulation can add value in generating greater depth and breadth of perspectives on a topic of interest explored for intervention development.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the nutritional impact of a community-based programme that focused on social cohesion and action.DesignThe change in nutritional status of children aged 12–60 months was examined over a period of 3 years in Makueni District in Eastern Province of Kenya in six communities in which an intervention programme of Participatory Learning and Action was introduced and in ten communities in which only basic preparations were made but no intervention was started.SettingThe intervention was part of the Government of Kenya Community Based Nutrition Programme and was supported by the Government of Denmark.SubjectsChildren aged 12–60 months.ResultsAmong communities without intervention there were similar levels of underweight (mean Z-score: −1·63 v. −1·50 (NS); % with Z-score < –2: 36·6 % v. 34·5 % (NS)) and stunting (mean Z-score: −2·0 v. −1·99 (NS); % with Z-score < –2: 44·3 % and 47·4 % (NS)) at baseline and after 3 years. By contrast, among communities who had received interventions, there were significant improvements after 3 years in the levels of underweight (mean Z-score: −1·66 v. −1·37 (P < 0·02); % with Z-score < –2: 42·9 % v. 31·4 % (P < 0·035)) and stunting (mean Z-score: −2·05 v. −1·59 (P < 0·05); % with Z-score < –2: 52·7 % v. 39·7 % (P < 0·02)).ConclusionsThe results indicate considerable potential for using Participatory Learning and Action as a community-based approach to effectively address child undernutrition. It is suggested that these interventions are developed, implemented and evaluated more widely as a mean of tackling childhood undernutrition and improving child survival and development.

Abstract. The purpose of this community empowerment activity is to increase the competitiveness of MSMEs through the "MELEK (Brand, Lebel and Packaging) MSME" program. The community empowerment method used in this activity is Participatory Learning and Action. The location of the activity was carried out at Kicimpring MSME in Cimara Village, Kuningan Regency, West Java Province. The reason for selecting community empowerment locations is because Kicimpring MSMEs do not yet have brands, labels and only have simple product packaging. Community empowerment activities are carried out through three stages: 1) Planning, 2) actions, 3) evaluation and monitoring. The results of this community empowerment activity are: 1) MSMEs have an awareness of the importance of brand, product labels and packaging, 2) MSMEs can determine the right trademark, 3) there are improvements to product packaging, 3) an increase in product image in the eyes of consumers, 4) an increase in sales of products after the product was given a brand, label and packaging. Based on evaluation and monitoring it can be concluded that the "MELEK UMKM" program can improve the competitiveness of MSMEs.Keywords: Brand; Labels; Packaging; MSMEsAbstrak. Tujuan kegiatan pemberdayaan masyarakat ini adalah untuk meningkatkan daya saing UMKM melalaui program “MELEK (Merek, Lebel dan Kemasan) UMKM”. Metode pemberdayaan masyarakat yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah Participatory Learning and Action. Lokasi kegiatan dilaksanakan pada UMKM Kicimpring di Desa Cimara Kabupaten Kuningan Provinsi Jawa Barat.

Kegiatan pemberdayaan masyarakat dilakukan melalui tiga tahapan yaitu 1) Perencanaan, 2) tindakan, 3) evaluasi dan monitoring. Hasil dari kegiatan pemberdayaan masyarakat ini yaitu : 1) UMKM memiliki kesadaran mengenai pentingnya merek, label dan kemasan produk, 2) UMKM dapat menentukan merek dagang yang tepat, 3) adanya perbaikan kemasan produk, 3) adanya peningkatan citra produk dimata konsumen, 4) adanya peningkatan penjualan produk pasca produk diberi merek, label dan kemasan. Berdasarkan evaluasi dan monitoring dapat disimpulkan bahwa program “MELEK UMKM” dapat meningkatkan daya saing UMKM. Kata Kunci : Merek; Lebel; Kemasan; UMKM
