Hunger alleviation programs serving high poverty, rural populations rarely reach full participation and often do not coordinate services. This paper is a summary of findings from a three-year study of 15 regional partnerships working to improve participation in, and communication between federal assistance programs addressing childhood food insecurity in high poverty, rural areas. The regional partnerships explored organizing structures and collaborative outreach methods to improve program reach and involvement. Most partnership teams addressed community connections by organizing coalitions or working with existing coalitions. Partnership coalitions improved over the duration of this study by increasing attention to organizational structure, purpose, and group processes. In addition, all partnerships used technology and digital media to expand outreach, communication, and coordination. Results included expanded partnership collaboration, increased program participation, and expanded promotion through creative outreach strategies to engage community members.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116352159","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}

Using semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, a case study of the Wassa Fiase traditional area was carried out to examine the prospects and challenges for the mobilisation of stool land revenue for the development of communities. The study found out that the land tenure system in the area was dynamic with a lot of governance challenges. The mobilisation of stool land revenue was constrained by inadequate staffing, reliance on manual records, and lack of cooperation from some chiefs. There was also the opportunity for the mobilisation of more revenue; many sources of revenue to be mobilized, the availability of records of land transactions and the opportunity to carry out public education and sensitization. It was recommended that the digitization of land records, provision of sanctions for rent defaulters, and the demarcation of their stool land boundaries would help improve revenue mobilisation.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117007768","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}

While stay-at-home orders may eventually be lifted and put back into place, online learning is here to stay.

This paper utilizes the City of Boston, and its late 1990s Millennium Initiative (MI), to examine the role of North American cities in the globalization of society and its economy in particular. The study is anchored in these two research questions: Is Boston’s city-region knowledge economy and ensuing culture sufficiently integrated into the overall dynamics of its urban society? How did notions of social and environmental sustainability evolve with increased calls for enhancing World City status? The key finding is that for Boston to become a truly World-Class city, it has to go beyond its short (nonetheless the most extensive in the U.S.) history, landmark buildings, socio-economic, and cultural achievements, ambiance and character, to also sustain and nurture all those who reside, work and visit the city-region appropriately and with solidarity.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132674174","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 study, we worked with the local gay and lesbian communities to identify the most significant challenges facing aging lesbian and gay individuals in Central Kentucky. Data were collected through key informant one-on-one interviews and focus groups. We relied on a community-based snowball approach for participant recruitment. The research team conducted three focus groups (one gay-male focused (n = 3) and two lesbians focused (n = 7)) and eight (n = 8) key informant interviews. Three key themes were found in these interviews, broadly categorized into long-term care, social support, and health care.

The need for community resilience becomes even more important in times of hazards and pandemics such as COVID-19. Throughout the US, Local First organizations are leading the charge for more socially and economically resilient communities. To explore their work, this paper first analyzes survey results of the 50 largest Local First organizations, addressing their perspective on how they are impacting their communities. Second, the survey was extended to two case study communities, where a member survey and interviews were conducted. The results of this study show that by supporting and promoting local business, these organizations are attempting to increase investment in the local community, create greater community unity, and help make their community more resilient, but there are challenges to overcome in reaching this goal.","PeriodicalId":208905,"journal":{"name":"Local Development & Society","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121705049","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}

Quantitative data were collected from women entrepreneurs through Paper Assisted Personal Interview (PAPI) technique. Interview and FGD were conducted with government officials and the selected women. The data were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The quantitative data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics like proportion test, pairwise proportion tests, Cramer’s V, and Somer’s d, while thematic approach was used to analyze and interpret qualitative data.
