By introducing the assumptions of social participation into the practice of implementing revitalization projects, we assume that through dialogue, even if sometimes difficult, a compromise and agreement can be reached, which may result in cooperation in the implementation of a given project. The aim of this text is to present a practical application of the idea of dialogue and social participation, the theoretical context of which was de-scribed in the first part of the text in the process of developing and implementing the Local Revitalization Pro-gram of the City of Wojkowice which was reported in the second part of it. Civil dialogue can be understood as a more or less institutionalized form of conducting broad social consultations in the aspect of planning, solving and making decisions on socially important issues in a given group or community. Anna Olech and Tomasz Kaźmierczak (2011), proposed four models of public participa-tion. The basis for their separation and differentiation is the level and scope of their influence on the decision-making process of various social partners. The presented considerations refer to the experience and observations collected during the project titled Wojkowickie Social Revitalisation Laboratory implemented as part of the project entitled Silesian revitalization programs – support for municipalities, financed under the Operational Program Technical Assistance 2014–2020. The Social Work Unit of the Institute of Sociology, US team was involved in the work on the development of the Local Regeneration Program, especially in relation to the social issues of this document. Referring to the models of participation carried out in the revitalization activities referred by Krzysztof Skalski, it can be stated that the activities undertaken in the process of developing the Local Revitalization Pro-gram in the City of Wojkowice are close to the model with the highest degree of participation. Another issue is whether the idea of broad social participation will be maintained in practice at the implementation stage of this program.

his paper aims to see the formation of social movements in Malang addressing social issues in Malang. Some of the movements that become the focus of this paper are the Malang Care Community or ASLI Malang and Social and Humanist Society in Malang. Interestingly, the communities are doing their activities online and using social media as the main instrument of movement. If in general online media based-communities are only informative, it is different with Malang. Here the communities perform real actions such as social activities. For examples: social aids for victims of natural disasters, street children, poor people who need help, and other problems. Last but not least is the emergence of free motorcycle-taxi riders that arose due to the protest of angkot (city transport) drivers toward online motorcycle taxi resulting in an angkot drivers’ strike. The movement was able to collect motorcycle-rider volunteers up to 700 motorcycles and 80 cars. The 4 days activity was the culmination of the social community awakening which arises in response to socio-dynamic in society The emergence of various social communities is the marker of the rise of civilian powers and the strengthening of non-state actors. The social community as a form of movement becomes an alternative for civil society to engage in social issues, rather than to join political organizations such as political parties or interest groups whose main interests are political interests. Charles Tilly (2004) defines social movements as an organized public collective effort to make certain claims to the intended authorities. Sidney Tarrow (2004) explains that social movements are generally born from social problems that lead to contentious. The orientation of social movements is to create a world order of social justice. Furthermore, in data collection, the authors conducted in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. By using social movement perspective, the main argument in this paper is, first, social media is the social community's main strategy for activism. Second, the pattern of social movements that arise is departing from social concerns of civil society in the city of Malang in view of social issues. Third, the formation of activism conducted by the social community in the City of Malang City aims to respond to social problem

The study examined the social effects of graffiti as pieces of writing or drawings scribbled, scratched or sprayed on surfaces of public toilets or bus termini. The study followed a qualitative exploratory design in which the researchers observed the messages expressed in the graffiti and conducted a discourse analysis on their effects on the moral fabric of society. Themes and perceptions towards some societal ills emerged from the analysis. The main aim of the study was thus to unravel the possible social issues expressed through this art of graffiti and sgraffitti. A purposive total sample size of 10 public toilets and bus termini was used for the study. Among the major findings of this study was the view that the messages conveyed through the graffiti and sgraffitti expressed a disapproval and distaste of such anti-social acts as promiscuity, prostitution and crime that are prevalent in the city of Johannesburg and its environs. In addition, gender based violence, stereotypes prejudices and stigmas against women, homosexuality and HIV/AIDS were among the dominant graffiti and sgrafitto messages. The study concluded that although graffiti and sgraffitti artists tend to deform and deface some public utilities, their call for normative social behaviour in society shows that there is a need to deconstruct a number of societal biases such as gender biases, sex, sexual orientation, stigmas, stereotypes and other prejudices associated with the diverse nature of the human species. The recommendation made by this study is that there is a dire need for advocacy by social workers, the city fathers, the metro police division and other human rights organisations to deconstruct and demystify certain human practices, acts and mind sets.

Problemas de contaminação ambiental do solo, quando socialmente percebidos, geralmente suscitam conflitos socioambientais, tendo em vista as incertezas quanto aos seus possíveis riscos e impactos na saúde humana e nos ecossistemas. Além disso, tais problemas também evidenciam a distribuição desigual de riscos e impactos ambientais pela sociedade – sobrecarregando grupos sociais mais vulneráveis –, conforme articulado pela noção de (in)justiça ambiental. Desta forma, o presente artigo contextualiza a problemática da contaminação do solo no âmbito da gestão ambiental, ao mesmo tempo em que a relaciona com a ocorrência de conflitos socioambientais. Para tanto, utiliza-se como estudo de caso principal o evento de contaminação por resíduos industriais decorrente das ações da empresa CENTRES no município de Queimados, RJ. Ao final, ressalta-se a importância do reconhecimento da dimensão do conflito socioambiental inerente aos problemas de contaminação do solo, de maneira a estimular processos democráticos e participativos de gestão dos mesmos, incorporando os grupos sociais afetados em todas as etapas destes processos, e, assim, deslocar o problema do domínio meramente técnico-científico para um mais ampliado, que leve em consideração a perspectiva social. Palavras-chave: Contaminação do Solo; Conflitos Socioambientais; Gestão Ambiental; Justiça Ambiental. ABSTRACT Soil contamination is an environmental issue which often raises social environmental conflicts, mainly because of the uncertainties related to the risks and impacts to human health and the ecosystems. Besides, it also demonstrates the unequal distribution of risks and impacts through the society – affecting mainly certain social groups which are more vulnerable –, as shown by the notion of environmental justice. Therefore, the present paper gives us an overview of the soil contamination issue and its implications to the environmental management and, at the same time, it highlights the social environmental conflicts related. In this way, a case study is analyzed, the event of soil contamination by the CENTRES enterprise in the city of Queimados, RJ, Brazil. At the end, special emphasis is given to the necessity of recognizing the dimension of social environmental conflict which is inherent to the cases of soil contamination, in order to stimulate social participative approaches of management, incorporating the affected people in all of the stages. By doing so, the problem will be dislocated from the technical and scientific domain to an extended one, which takes into account social issues.

In Rapid City, South Dakota, community, business, nonprofit, and faith communities leaders, along with a number of citizens across all demographics, are collaborating in a unique plan to create quality of life for all its citizens. Named Rapid City Collective Impact (RCCI), this initiative began with the vision of several local philanthropists and has expanded quickly throughout the community. Cultural anthropologist Albert Linderman along with expertise from community based systems dynamics experts Don Greer, Megan Odenthal, and Christine Capra have formed a facilitative “backbone” organization for RCCI. Based on the model for “Collective Impact” made popular by an article by a Stanford Innovation Review article by authors John Kania and Mark Kramer, organizations and programs serving Rapid City citizens are committed to significantly increasing the amount of collaboration occurring within the social service sector, while business and other community leaders work to leverage newly understood leverage points within the intersecting systems of the city which often limits ability to address entrenched social issues.

The No Slum City Program is a government response in dealing with slum problems that exist throughout Indonesia, this program is sourced from the center which will be directly included in the RPJM in areas that are declared slum. but at the implementation stage there are obstacles, especially the commitment of the community that is still lacking in terms of reducing the slums that occur in the community itself. The problem under study is a description of the Implementation of Social Policy through the Kumpak City Program in the City of Palangka Raya. This study uses a causal method supported by primer data in the form of in-depth interviews and observations as well as secondary data in the form of document review. From the results of this research, it was shown that the implementation of the Social Policy through the No-Slum City Program (KOTAKU) in the City of Palangka Raya had not been effective. This is based on the lack of socialization, inconsistency of the implementor, and not maximally utilizing the facilities and infrastructure that have been given and the lack of community commitment to achieve the objectives of the KotaKu Program. It is therefore recommended that the government make the community a commitment to the program, and it is hoped that the socialization should be directly in the community, not through the BKM that has been made because this is not effective if it is seen from the commitment of the community.
