1. This research study examines aspects of the effectiveness of the Every ChildlYouth Matters (ECMIYM) programme with regard to its implementation in 2006. Part 1 of the study explores the practical implications of ECM/YM for professional practice across the different welfare agencies, through a series of loosely structured interviews with managers, case workers and young offenders (aged up to 16 years). From an analysis of the data, using grounded theory approaches, three key findings were inducted. These findings suggested the following: I. A lack of consistency in the quality of targeted su

The intergenerational continuity of knowledge has become a concern as small-scale societies worldwide balance the challenges of adapting to environmental change associated with globalization while retaining continuity in their ways of life.

Integrating insights from political ecology, social wellbeing and adaptive learning, the EofP provides theoretical and methodological tools based on practice theo

This small scale research study explores psychotherapists’ experience of medical model thinking on their practice delivered in the two separate settings of GP surgeries and private practice. The study’s key philosophical theme is the difference between modern and postmodern perspectives and how they might manifest themselves in social practices (such as medical interviews), knowledge creation and the practice of psychotherapy. The researcher locates the concepts key to the research in existing literature in terms of theory, research studies and their historical development – this latter being

Abstract:
This research explores independent cultural production in the fashion industry, with a focus on small-scale entrepreneurship. "Independent fashion" is a widely-used term that has been under-examined. Studies of small-scale fashion businesses tend to focus on practioners' processes and practices, taking for granted the notion of their "independence" and looking past it in order to consider other aspects. This project seeks to address this gap in our knowledge of small-scale fashion practice by analysing the way in which independent fashion as a concept is understood, demonstrated and judged by

Craftsmanship is recognised as a source of practical wisdom that can inform sustainable management and use of natural resources. However, there are many outstanding questions about how the skills and tacit knowledge embedded in craftsmanship can facilitate social-ecological resilience for sustainability. It has also proved difficult to access and articulate the knowledge embedded in craftsmanship. With this study I explore the skill and tacit knowledge components of craftsmanship as a repository of cultural-ecological memory through two case studies: the duodji, or handicrafts, produced by a S

Abstract:
Small-scale fisheries are learning contexts of importance for generating, transferring, and updating ecological knowledge of natural environments through everyday work practices. The rich knowledge fishers have of local ecosystems is the result of the intimate relationship fishing communities have had with their natural environments across generations (see e.g. Urquhart and Acott 2013). This relationship develops strong emotional bonds to the physical and social place.

The challenges facing small scale irrigation development in South Africa are varied and complex. This complexity is exacerbated by the many years of systematic neglect, in tandem with material and intellectual impoverishment of the majority of participants in this agricultural sector. Attempting to juggle sustainable development of small scale agriculture and environmental and socio-economic advancement is difficult, but there is sufficient evidence in the literature to suggest that small scale agriculture is increasing not only in South Africa but in Sub-Saharan Africa (Collier and Field, 199

Shallow excavations through variable rockmasses in urban centers present significant design challenges, whether considering small diameter tunnels for utilities or large span underground caverns. In designing shallow excavations in urban environs, it is especially critical to minimize the impact of the excavation on surface. In small diameter projects, minimal surface disturbance is often achieved by the employment of TBMs as the excavation method.
