Drawing together semi-structured interviews, site analysis, and secondary newspaper and planning sources, this paper illustrates that, despite a diversity of structures and locations, there is a consistency in interior design and aesthetics across small town breweries. The visual symbolism and spatial references, included as part of the internal décor, produce a new story of place within the buildings. We argue that these repurposed sites should be valued regardless of age, location, or building type: their interior adaptation signals a revaluation and revival that spills over beyond the shell.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129807415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aimed at evaluating local residents’ perceptions of being included in tourism around national parks in Tanzania utilizing the Equity theory as a theoretical lens. Local residents’ perceptions on inclusion were captured using structured questionnaire. At total of 507 usable responses were analyzed using one-sample and paired samples t-tests to compare the mean scores. Results indicate local residents to have mixed perceptions regarding their inclusion in tourism. Specifically, local residents perceive to be excluded in tourism with respect to business opportunities while being included on resource access and use. Residents perceive stakeholders to have different powers, with government having the most followed by the community, private businesses and lastly the non-governmental organizations. Results shed light to policymakers and destination managers on governance aspects that are pertinent in enhancing inclusiveness and sustainability in tourism.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114081913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were invited to focus group discussions to provide in-depth commentary to survey findings and develop ideas for a healthy peanut product. Data from surveys and focus groups revealed quality seeds, farm input, access to mills, and income as the community needs to meet their challenges to peanut farming and food security. Specifically, the focus groups identified a peanut nutrition bar as the target peanut-based value-added product (PBVAP) and selected corn flour, cowpea flour and baobab powder as healthy ingredients for making the product.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125593949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A case-oriented qualitative study reveals that organizations with similar cultures are likely to be more successful in ensuring coordination than others who do not. The study also finds that the lack of cultural computability among different public organizations at the Upazila level has ensured coordination among them is problematic. The study also identifies several factors that create barriers to cultural compatibility. These factors include colonial legacy, different working procedures, lack of similar choices and preferences, history of the development of public organizations, inequality among public officials, societal influence on public officials, and lack of inter-organizational learning programmes.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127009074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This pilot is designed to explore the possibilities for this mixed methodology to address two key gaps in the community resilience literature: (1) narrow focus on disaster-based or acute resilience and (2) lack of historically marginalized voices. This work was conducted in a rural, Black, Southern community. This pilot study suggests that while the proposed method does allow for the prioritization of marginalized voices and for a systems level approach to non-disaster resilience building; the FCM/photovoice combination presents limitations in interpretation for non-discrete decision-making. This method can be overwhelming for participants. Further research is needed to refine the protocol for its use in multiple decision-making processes within larger local phenomenon. Additionally, the combination of narrative storytelling and empirical analysis presents a unique opportunity for informing policy. This work is part of a larger project focused on the linkages between food environment, health, and general community resilience (Mann et al., 2020). It is important to emphasize that the purpose of this article is merely to present this method as an avenue for studying community resilience. A more robust analysis of the data collected as part of this study has been published elsewhere in more detail (Mann et al., 2020).","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128200252","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, the Omaha Community Foundation has delivered a year-long capacity-building program for local nonprofit leaders for over eight years. A distinctive feature of this program is the cohort design that prioritizes relationship building among cohort members, while also providing technical assistance and training to program participants. A key outcome for this program has been the increase in social capital among program participants. This case study will review the evolution of this capacity-building program and how social capital building within a cohort model has been the consistent outcome since the program’s beginning.

Improving the assets adaptation strategies of the urban poor will boost the attractions in the city. However, ways to enhance the assets adaptation strategies of the urban poor have received less attention in the literature. This study employed mixed methods to investigate the phenomenon and found that enhancing assets adaptation strategies for the poor should be linked to the type of vulnerability experienced. The study further found that ways to enhance financial assets include (creating sustainable jobs), physical assets (provision of water storage facilities), human assets (education and skills), social assets (improving the extended family system, providing social support), and natural assets (increasing access to water). These findings enable policymakers to strategize and enhance assets adaptation strategies for the urban poor.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127506894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that a higher density of foreign-born immigrants has a positive impact on new business formation, but the relationship varies by the ethnic background of the immigrants and by industry type. Specifically, Caucasian immigrants, and to a lesser extent Asians, drive the positive relationship. Higher concentrations of Latinx immigrants, however, have either no or a predominantly negative influence on business start-up rates. The largely positive relationship between foreign-born and entrepreneurship varies significantly across different industries, particularly for Asians and Latinx. Care must be taken when making broad generalizations about the immigrant and entrepreneurship relationship.

By employing in-depth interviews that focus on significant life experiences, the present study reveals that activists’ nonconforming beliefs were formed through their childhood experiences with nature, their objections to today’s environmentally-unfriendly development, and the failure of formal education to foster children’s interest in the environment.
