Abstract:

To perform well and persist at universities, students need to feel socially and academically integrated. Many universities have instituted learning communities to promote both types of involvement. I explore whether participants in learning communities develop a greater sense of community in the classroom and the university than non-participants. My sample consists of 273 first year students in 31 small seminar classes in a variety of disciplines. My comparison group is 73 first-year students taking introductory sociology courses. I also control for the effects of race, gender, family income,

Abstract:

The involvement of communities with wildlife is increasing on a global scale. Participatory approaches differ across the world, from natural resource management, environmental quality monitoring, to species and habitat data gathered through citizen science programmes. The personal and community benefits of engaging with nature are acknowledged through ongoing research, particularly in terms of health and wellbeing, yet simultaneously people are becoming increasingly distanced from nature due to factors such as urbanisation. In order to maximise the benefits associated with participatory initia

A series of threats face campesino communities' water management practices in the Callejón de Huaylas (upper region of the Santa Watershed). Competition for water resources is escalating due to increasing demand, decreasing supply, and a rise in contamination levels, leaving campesino communities in a precarious state as a result of their marginalized position in Peruvian society. Competition for water resources occurs between upstream and downstream users and amongst sectors including mining, agriculture, hydropower, and domestic water users.

Abstract:

In the British welfare sector, the role of religious groups in offering faith based welfare provision is substantial and addresses a wide variety of needs. Such action is not confined to the Christian faith, since other religious faiths generate welfare initiatives of their own. Nor is faith motivated welfare provision restricted to meeting basic human needs, as it can include efforts to build community relations and also encompasses community development approaches that support citizens to come together to create self-help projects. In fact the latter themes sometimes appear linked in social

Abstract:

This thesis examines recent experiments with participatory democracy in the context of decentralised local government. It charts the evolution in attitudes to the role of the generality of citizens in their own government, from commentators who were convinced that stability depended upon their apathy, to the current belief that mass involvement will save local democracy from deteriorating further into crisis. From the literature it is apparent that various authorities have pursued decentralisation initiatives for very different, sometimes conflicting reasons, not all concerned with democratisa

The approach led to the introductory of district assembly system which was to enhance the involvement of people at the grassroots in participatory activities.

However there are numerous obstacles to undertaking CBED, one of which is a lack of financing. Credit unions are community based fin

The failure of the conventional top-down approaches in human settlement development in Third World has resulted in the increased numbers, sizes and densities of informal settlements. This has resulted from the increasing majority of Third World populations finding shelter in informal housing.

This results in the urban low income groups having no option but to cater for their own needs. Therefore, the urban poor have come up with viable solutions, outside th

Nurses mobilise the term 'community' to organise their day-to-day work as well as patient work. Hence, community emerged as a central topic for this ethnography. I go on to explicate

Community participation takes place when community members act together as subjects. It is argued here that community participation empowers when community members take decisions, or negotiate an equitable share in making the decisions that affect them.

Yet, the mechanisms by which this process occurs are little understood. Considering the varied findings, this qualitative study aims to explore the nature and extent of ACL, and its influence on p

Social capital is a property of the relations between people; it denotes resources available to people based on the trust within those relationships. Robert Putnam connected social capital to democratic performance claiming it was an agent for democracy. He equated the term with civic-ness and in so doing attributed social capital with properties that it did not have when applied when to larger, abstract, conglomerates of people such as communities and nation-states. For social capital to be relevant to democracy, it requires social trust - a trust diffused throughout society and available to
