1. The Trouble with Community: How ‘Sense of Community’ Influences Participation in Formal, Community‐Led Organisations and Rural Governance

Author:
Dinnie, Elizabeth; Fischer, Anke

Subject:
community development,   etc   ; governance; issues and policy; rural communities; Scotland;     Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... The term community has proved to be remarkably resilient in rural policy‐making, where it is used across a range of policy discourses. Policy narratives seldom acknowledge the multiple meanings associated with the term community; they therefore fail to make a distinction between community as it is experienced in everyday settings, and more formal community organising. However, policies and governa ...

community development,   etc   ; clones; community structure; growth traits; rhizomes; species diversity; stolons;     Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Due to competition for resources, the performance of plant species in communities is modified by traits affecting their efficiency in resource uptake and use. Clonal growth by stolons or rhizomes enables plants to spread laterally and to share resources among interconnected ramets; therefore, clonal growth represents an important trait that likely affects the competitive ability of species. We tes ...

Abstract:
... Residential quarters in Chinese cities are usually walled off from their surrounding roads for security purposes. Recently, the Chinese government has decided to thoroughly open gated residential communities in order to improve traffic capacity and coordinate major roads in the road network, which will inevitably pose challenges, such as environmental pollution, for community members.

Abstract:
... Post-growth societies seek socio-ecological transformations towards a just and sustainable redistribution and reduced consumption of natural capital. There is no one universally just and ecologically sustainable way of fulfilling these redistribution and consumption objectives; it depends on the criteria used and their underlying ethical teleology. We suggest three distribution criteria, borrowed ...

Abstract:
... Urban regeneration forms a key approach for coping with persistent sustainability problems in cities. In practice, however, it is often driven by motives other than sustainability transformation. This paper explores the preconditions that allow urban regeneration approaches to become transformative, and suggests a methodology to support this shift in practice. It does so by assessing the capacity ...

Abstract:
... Building resilience is a critical response to climate change.
