This study explored a four-year microgrant scheme in Bristol, UK. The research analyzed 141 awards and collected qualitative and quantitative data on 233 individuals. The research found that the diversity of activities, local embeddedness, skills and capacity development, social connection and volunteering features of the scheme offered routes to community development goals. Microgrant schemes are likely to benefit from designated staff to conduct outreach work, facilitate stakeholder engagement, and provide ongoing support. Coordination with other community development activities enhanced the scheme’s impact while weaknesses in local infrastructure, caused by funding cuts, impeded delivery. Microgrant schemes should be understood as an intervention that complements and works alongside other community development activities. To enhance their role in community development, attention needs to be paid to scheme design, implementation and integration.","PeriodicalId":46872,"journal":{"name":"Community Development","volume":"54 1","pages":"411 - 428"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47877462","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}

Two projects were situated within a Southeastern, lower-income Black community, where the university recently developed a campus, to anchor an education ecosystem. The third project was affiliated with a Northeastern university that is seen as an anchor for the community, within its city limits. The projects and participants were examined not to reveal empirical findings. Still, they were used as a lens that guided the authors’ reflections as agents of color working in UCPs. Utilizing critical autoethnographic narratives, we discuss our motivations for social justice-oriented, engaged work. We also illuminate the real opportunities and challenges in fostering UCPs. We further examine how equity was integrated within the projects by using counterexamples of the common discourses of engagement, which we ultimately identified as a necessary resistance to collaborate within communities authentically. We conclude with a framework to center community stakeholders in UCPs.","PeriodicalId":46872,"journal":{"name":"Community Development","volume":"281 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136002187","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}

Conservation and socio-economic approaches are the specific interaction between community and stakeholders, their environments and lead to more viable development outcomes. Data were obtained quantitatively through surveys and qualitatively through interviews combination and document content analysis. The questionnaires were distributed, and 378 people responded. The results indicate that the community knowledge on development is crucial and it requires community cooperation to ensure the success of eco-tourism.

But neoclassical economics, on which such marketization is based, is an inadequate measure of community development practice as it does not accommodate a range of inequalities, spatial differences, changes over time, market failures and externalities, all of which are at the core of community food projects. Whilst community food projects address market failures, they can use innovative market mechanisms to “cushion” some of these neoclassical economics failings. A number of practical examples is offered, from Lincolnshire UK, of such innovations in relation to community food production, and environmental, food waste, and food poverty externalities.","PeriodicalId":46872,"journal":{"name":"Community Development","volume":"54 1","pages":"257 - 270"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47296434","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}
