Abstract:

This thesis explored the micro-processes of Dementia Friendly Community principles through committees. Using micro-ethnography and a case study approach, two Australian- Queensland DFC committees were studied to better understand local-level implementation. This involved semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and field notes. Findings from this study illustrated that while both committees had well-meaning intentions, stark differences in structure, processes, and approaches were evident.

Abstract:

Community participation in municipal affairs is the bedrock of participatory democracy, and it has been hailed as the panacea for most public community programmes in South Africa. High-level public community participation empowers communities, increases self-reliance, self-awareness and confidence in self-examination of problems and seeking solutions for them. Community behavioural changes are promoted and utilisation and support of services is facilitated, which are of great significance to all community efforts, especially in areas where the service delivery rate from municipalities is low.
