This brings vitality to local communities, given demographic trends and the health and well-being benefits of appropriate employment. Yet, existing local labour market mechanisms do not serve well many such individuals. This paper provides insights into an ongoing action research programme to achieve social impact by developing a platform to support people’s second life related to employment. The initial focus is on a city in which to develop a prototype. The approach involves forming a consortium of local stakeholders, and then pursuing initiatives to develop the platform’s two sides: bringing potential employers onboard and attracting people in their second life. In the next phase, the aim is to develop a model to support other cities’ learning and adaptation. The initial priority in the focal city is to have a durable local impact by ‘going slow’ to establish the platform with local stakeholders, to then ‘go fast’ in increasing impact through matching: in practice, however, once established, accelerating impact locally is challenging. Nonetheless, the focal city provides a base for transfer of learning to other cities so as to increase impact on people’s second life and thereby contributing to achieving a sustainable society.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100099"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143153927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, locally elevated cancer incidence sparks public concern as attributed to potential environmental factors, impacting citizens’ sense of well-being and property values. In these periods of collective anxiety, the scrutiny of the quality of cancer surveillance data, which is primarily the responsibility of CCRs, increases tremendously as well as the public pressure to explain uncertainty in the data. Residential geolocation harbors the highest level of uncertainty compared to other patient’s characteristics. Residential geolocation involves geocoding record linkage across different information sources. Uncertainty arises when a patient’s characteristics diverge among various sources. Here, we present how a simple index of confidence in residential geolocation can explain uncertainty in cancer surveillance data. Efforts invested in clarifying confidence in residential geolocation to citizens may improve relationships between CCRs and the public and also improve georeferenced data in areas that need such improvement badly. The purpose of this publication is to set up the stage for a discussion within the cancer surveillance community and possibly the public.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100098"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143153932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on observations during previous research projects, this article explores whether and how online focus groups (OFGs) can be leveraged to facilitate meaningful social interactions between unfamiliar interaction partners, and the extent to which these interactions have the potential to create societal impact. Our findings suggest that OFGs can facilitate a combination of “emotional”, “informational”, and “tangible” impacts for participants, helping to make social interactions meaningful. Meanwhile, these “individual impacts” could translate to “societal impacts” by empowering people to better participate (and participate better) in the public sphere. This outcome could be accelerated if individuals share newly acquired knowledge onwards with their community, generating a positive feedback loop of further meaningful social interactions. Our findings imply that researchers should strive to ensure that qualitative social research delivers direct value to the participants who take part, separate from the potential (thematic) value it has for the academic(s) involved. This ambition could be supported by academic funding frameworks that recognize “direct value for participants” as a desirable (and assessed) criterion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100096"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142721845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By using Marine Protected Areas (MPA) as an analytical framework, researchers can address these challenges and reach conclusions that satisfy both ecological and economic perspectives. This research serves as a good case study, employing an ecology-based monetary valuation method to link ecological empirical evidence with economic values, demonstrating the monetary contribution of Marine Reserves (MR) to communities and beyond. The spillover and recruitment effects of MR are estimated to provide a significant boost to the commercial fishery, with an annual catch landing value of NZ$ 1.49 million. The average gross output, including contributions from the MR's recruitment effect, amounts to NZ$4.89 million, with value added (GDP) of NZ$1.86 million, indirectly supporting 16 full-time equivalent employees (FTEs). The direct value contributed to snapper recreational fishing is NZ$3.21 million per annum, while indirect value from fishing equipment spending is NZ$3.30 million per annum. This research represents the first estimation of the monetary value of spillover and recruitment effects from a well-established, no-take MPA (MR), illustrating the contribution of marine conservation to society.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100094"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142658382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
