A quantitative research approach was employed, utilizing structured face-to-face interviews to collect data from 196 household heads in two disaster-affected char land communities, namely Shibchar Upazila in Madaripur District and Zanjira Upazila in Shariatpur District, Bangladesh. The results unveiled the prevalence of frequent hazards such as river erosion, floods, cyclones, and thunderstorms, with river erosion being the most severe. Notably, a significant proportion of respondents (ranging from 80 to 95 percent) indicated that government, non-governmental organizations, and local communities had not adequately undertaken initiatives to address these issues. Furthermore, a noteworthy portion of participants expressed negative sentiments concerning current community affairs and the quality of services provided. The findings of this study hold valuable implications for policy-making, development initiatives, and disaster management strategies within char land communities.","PeriodicalId":47329,"journal":{"name":"Community Development Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139756043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The richness and biodiversity of the landscape have been used in different ways by the inhabitants of Concepción, but in the case of the Agüita de la Perdiz residents, it is also part of their way of life, representing an unusual people–nature relationship in urban spaces. We analyze the relationship between the community and the hill, with its forest, fauna, waters and recreational areas; the successive territorial dispossessions and the various conflicts involved in the operation of the Metropolitan Park, created to protect the hill; and the efforts led by community members to recompose their relationship with the hill. The case problematizes urban bioculture, from a political ecology of commons perspective, and co-management approaches for conservation.","PeriodicalId":47329,"journal":{"name":"Community Development Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139680112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In parallel, community sports clubs in Sweden have gained strong traction as being sites where social issues can be addressed. In Swedish disadvantaged areas, where infrastructure is of poor quality, these clubs can be an important addition to statutory interventions, but they need to be further explored in terms of strategic pathways and conditions. Community sports have only recently been conceptualized with Chaskin’s capacity-building concept. In this paper, I seek to further stimulate this line of inquiry. By using material from two interrelated projects with informants in the sports movement, I show how sports clubs use multiple strategies according to three of Chaskin’s proposed strategies: leadership development, organizational development, and inter-organizational collaboration. By outlining an empirically dense illustration, this paper contributes to the research on sports clubs and their role in the community and provides suggestions on how strategical assessments must include how associations develop strategies online.","PeriodicalId":47329,"journal":{"name":"Community Development Journal","volume":"118 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139657227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This qualitative study explored the leadership perspectives and experiences of eight young women (aged 14–16 years) who participated in a community-based youth leadership programme in Australia. Findings indicated that participants distinguished between believing they had the potential and skills to lead and having the confidence to say they are leaders. Gender socialization and implicit leadership beliefs influenced their understandings and perspectives of leadership and their willingness to pursue leadership. They identified the importance of female youth ‘finding their voice’ and not ‘holding back’. This study has significant potential organizational and community applications. Education and participation in community leadership programmes can be used as an opportunity to confront gendered assumptions, and better prepare young women for different types of leadership roles and foster their ability to be agents of social change.","PeriodicalId":47329,"journal":{"name":"Community Development Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139657240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To help households improve their economic levels and address gender-based violence, the Mawe Tatu programme was created to combine women’s empowerment through village savings and loans associations (VSLA) with engaging men in changing their attitudes and adopting positive masculinities. Methods This study explores the impact of women’s empowerment through VSLA while their husbands participate in a men’s reflection group pursuing a gender equity curriculum. Data were collected over three years through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews with both men and women. Data were analysed using an inductive approach, building themes based on respondents’ narratives. Results Household welfare was described as ‘improved’ when both partners participated in the intervention. More cash was available in the household, cohesion within the couple increased, and men were more likely to involve their wives in decision-making processes. Men were also more involved in childcare and more concerned about their partner’s health, especially during pregnancy. Conclusion Combining women's economic empowerment through VSLA while raising awareness of gender equity among their husbands is a promising approach. However, it is necessary to develop positive femininities in parallel to positive masculinities, as women to avoid being judged, may fear changes preserving empirical gender norms. Creating more ‘friendly’ and inclusive spaces in health centers will make it easier for men to accompany their wives for maternal health services.","PeriodicalId":47329,"journal":{"name":"Community Development Journal","volume":"106 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138515329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ongoing, contested debate remains whether the nature of top-down business-oriented community economic development models serve the broader interests of the community residents or the narrow interests of its proponents and benefactors. This case study analyzes the impact of urban revitalization projects in Frog Hollow, an impoverished, but vibrant Latino enclave in Hartford, CT, and examines the limitations of top-down community economic revitalization and development strategies. The study also contributes to the community development literature by focusing on the Latino communities in the United States. This neighborhood underwent a highly publicized series of revitalization projects during the decade of the 2000s, which included business owners, community organizations, and local government in its development and implementation phases. This study focuses on three areas: identifying the history, goals, strategies, and tactics behind the community economic development model used in this urban revitalization project; examining the impact of the revitalization project on the socioeconomic conditions of the neighborhood and its residents; and determining how being an impoverished Puerto Rican/Latino enclave impacted the design, process, and implementation of the community development project.","PeriodicalId":47329,"journal":{"name":"Community Development Journal","volume":"105 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138515330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
