Those in current need must own their problems and issues, and learn to embrace them & enact solutions. The innovative capabilities of both academics and citizens can be combined to solve almost any issue facing a community. Past studies of best practice show what can be achieved across a broad range of problems. For significant changes to occur, the values and behavior of all collaborative partners must be combined, using a questioning framework, so they share ideas that lead to sensible working practices, and then enact feasible outcomes. This article presents a sensible working approach where academics have learned to support citizens and best practices have been developed in urban and rural contexts where disenfranchised citizens have indeed learned how to cope with their own social, economic, political, cultural, environmental and other human issues.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121576379","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}

Tribal planning, when led by tribal citizens, is the catalyst for sovereign decision-making. With tribal nations identifying economic development as a priority and gateway toward prosperity, other essential functions of the government attached themselves to this opportunity. Planning when aligned with economic development is much broader than defining tribe communities’ economic returns, but supporting the progress of a culture and developing all systems that influence the economy. The article examines the role of community, economic and cultural capitals to examine the planning capacity of tribal communities.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"2015 13","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120920792","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}

Hence, corresponds with diverse rural areas elsewhere globally, utilizing the case of Musina Municipality in Limpopo Province, South Africa. The case study appropriates narrative literature review (with existing documents reviews), interviews, and focuses group discussion in studying African and comprehensive agricultural, environmental, and tourism reservoirs management situations. It links community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) and geographic information systems to sustainable tourism implications in Musina Municipality. Numerous agricultural communities in Southern Africa and Africa comprehensively reside in low-income districts; Musina Municipality is no different. Such localities are plentiful in natural biodiversity and tourism host provinces. Geographic information systems, sustainable tourism, agriculture (AG), and community-based natural resource management can generate a medley of local community development schemes within such environs.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133298360","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}

In this perspective improving community exposure to the arts and extending the access to cultural programs might play an important role. Arts accessibility might magnify important impacts on the community such as the (re)interpretation of the value of diversity, the enhancement of individual capacities through creativity, the empowerment of citizens’ political and democratic participation, and the reinforcement of the sense of belonging of a community. On these grounds, the aim of our article is to describe and discuss what arts accessibility is and how the adoption of inclusive practices by arts institutions might improve community development programs. We also present a case study, the InclusivOpera project at the Macerata Opera Festival (MOF) in Italy, which stands as a critical case to understand how arts accessibility might trigger community development processes.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"217 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115540170","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}

Students received authentic instruction through SBC artist workshops, conversations, and storytelling, then joined visioning exercises to design festival grounds, workshop spaces, kitchen and dining facilities, and guest camping. Students demonstrated that they understood the function of a “third place” by asking informed questions, reflecting on unique cultural requirements, and looking to the future to supply sustainable site and building recommendations. All interactions were held online. Students’ reflections were gathered using Brookfield’s Critical Incident Questionnaire. Tara Page’s embodied and material pedagogies are useful when making, designing, and learning about sites, local culture, and people. Future work will examine how knowledge, understanding, learning, and belonging strengthen the placemaking process to better prepare students for professional practice.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116883372","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 hypothesized that arts alumni’s participation in the HIEPs such as service-learning and community arts resources is crucial for promoting arts alumni’s continued community engagement actions. The logistic regression analysis results combine data from the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project data. The Local Arts Index highlights the significant positive effects of the HIEPs on post-college volunteering. Furthermore, the effect of HIEPs did not vary by the level of community arts resources. Thus, we conclude that arts alumni’s community engagement can be significantly increased through HIEPs, particularly from service-learning or work with a local artist during college.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127150975","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 review of literature discusses the unique contributions of the arts and religion (specifically interfaith initiatives) in peacebuilding and community development (two related processes). Then, methods of evaluation for interfaith peacebuilding and socially engaged art (SEA) are synthesized to create an evaluative framework for Muslim Neighbors. This framework is put to work evaluating how Muslim Neighbors addressed Islamophobia and built relationships between different faith groups in its local community. This study concludes that the intersection of interfaith peacebuilding and socially engaged artmaking provides a fruitful structure for building relationships, fostering diversity, and increased civic participation.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126938227","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}

Through the multiple entrepreneurial examples and in-depth interviews, the paper has discussed what are the different kinds of production houses, music industry that has emerged around anti-caste consciousness in regions of North India. Furthermore, the paper has explored the culture-economy of anticaste songs and how they are gaining popularity in the public memory.

For the next 40 years, the Greek Diasporic Community Theater (DCT) of Brussels has become a participatory field of integration and Greek troupes have begun to proliferate, influenced by the demographic, ideological, and socio-structural changes that have taken place both in Greece and Belgium in recent decades. The present paper studies and presents the causes of the artistic resilience of the Greek Diasporic Community Theater (DCT) in Brussels. The case of the Greek DCT in Brussels is such a unique case of DCT, which operates continuously and systematically from the early 1980s until today, flourishing and presenting unprecedented signs of resilience.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132505688","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}

Gallagher","doi":"10.1080/26883597.2022.2085896","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/26883597.2022.2085896","url":null,"abstract":"In this Special Issue of Local Development & Society, we are pleased to include articles that focus on “Supporting Community Development through the Arts.” We appreciate the endorsement of the editors of Local Development & Society for dedicating this issue to the exploration of the work occurring at the intersection of community development and the arts and providing assistance throughout the development process. We would also like to thank the group of reviewers who dedicated their time and expertise to providing feedback on such a wide variety of work. Reviewers are critical to the development of manuscripts and journal issues. The continuing effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic have imposed increased demands and so we offer additional thanks to those who made the time to offer essential feedback and insights for improvement. Although the call for proposals of manuscripts for this Special Issue was released in December 2020, the efforts of this research reach back further than that. As editors of this Special Issue, we have been cultivating this topic for several years, with hopes for increasing the interdisciplinary way art and community development can be studied. Through our call for proposals, we reached out across many disciplines in search of articles that would share a variety of methods and viewpoints for the readers. We felt that Local Development & Society was the best fit with our goals, as the journal is also committed to cross-disciplinary research, drawing from both academic and practical contributors. The submissions received were richly varied, reflecting many of the disciplines where these topics intersect and including scholars, practitioners, and instructors of practice. Our authors represent the fields of sociology, university extension offices, landscape architecture, educational administration, arts administration, and English translation (languages), as well as leaders of community organizations. It is this diversity of perspectives, research methods, and experiences of the impact of arts on community development that make this Special Issue so rich and vibrant. Research methods in this issue include quantitative data analysis, participatory action research, qualitative analysis through in-depth interviews, and case studies. Collectively, the body of work demonstrates the diverse way arts and culture enhance our communities. It is exhilarating to see that so many disciplines find the arts to play a role in community development. It is also reassuring that so many of these authors respect and acknowledge the role that equity and inclusion play when creating art projects that reflect the community.
