This short communication describes a small-scale local initiative in Quebec City (Canada) aiming to explore associations between community-level factors and ECD, as well as the mechanism underlying these associations. The exploratory comparative case design involved four urban disadvantaged neighborhoods, each exhibiting different ECD outcomes despite similar socio-economic status (SES). We employed mixed methods to document five categories of community-level factors: neighborhoods’ physical environment, social environment, services, governance, and SES. Quantitative data included administrative, survey, and monitoring data, while qualitative data involved field observations and interviews with 21 key stakeholders or service providers. The triangulation of data led to the identification of 19 Foundational Community Factors (FCFs) spanning the five categories of community-level factors. These FCFs highlight leverage points and potential areas of action in the local context, as well as more broadly. This study, though exploratory, contributes to the understanding of neighborhood effects by focusing on <em>what</em> and <em>how</em> neighborhoods matter for ECD. Moreover, it provides preliminary insights to inform interventions aimed at reducing risk factors and promoting protective factors, fostering systemic changes to support the wellbeing of young children.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52616,"journal":{"name":"Wellbeing Space and Society","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100238"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143130284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surveys (<em>n</em> = 130) were used alongside interviews with 38 participants of ten green citizen initiatives in the Netherlands. Findings demonstrate a strong sense of place among participants in the green citizen initiatives, which was significantly predicted by meaningful experiences, sense of safety within the initiative and length of involvement. Participation in green citizen initiatives appears to create meaning across and beyond the three dimensions of sense of place – place attachment, place identity and place dependence – and, additionally, a broader societal meaning of place. Findings imply that green citizen initiatives are valuable assets for health and wellbeing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52616,"journal":{"name":"Wellbeing Space and Society","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100240"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143129743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It encompasses a multidimensional and complex experience that is influenced by various social, cultural, historical, and ecological factors. However, the increasing prevalence of hybrid and location-flexible work arrangements poses a potential challenge to this concept. The primary aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive literature review, focusing on the multifaceted nature of sense of place and the potential transformation of employees' place identity in response to hybrid work. Through a systematic search of four academic databases, fourteen empirical studies were identified and included based on predetermined inclusion criteria following established systematic review guidelines. Our content analysis revealed three key findings: (1) seven critical factors that shaped employee identity in hybrid work environments; (2) four distinct states of workplace identity adaptation—home-oriented, work-oriented, integrated, and virtual; and (3) the dual effects of identity changes on employee well-being. The findings contribute to understanding identity dynamics and their implications for employee well-being in hybrid work arrangements while providing practical insights for organizations to enhance sense of place in hybrid work environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52616,"journal":{"name":"Wellbeing Space and Society","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100236"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143130282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Prior attempts to enhance welfare have been directed to industrialized economies and have paid little attention on poverty status as a proxy of household welfare. The current study sought to establish how non-farm income enhances household welfare using nationally representative panel data. The study used secondary data from most recent Uganda National Panel Survey (UNPS) waves of 2013 /2014, 2015/2016, 2017/2018, and 2019/2020. Fixed effects, random effects, and probit models were used to estimate the instrumented variables. The results indicate that non-farm income significantly enhances household welfare proxied by poverty status and consumption expenditure. Education level of the household head, household size and living in urban rather than rural significantly influences household welfare. To the best of the researchers' knowledge, this is the first study to establish how non-farm income enhances household welfare using empirical evidence from Ugandan economy which is transforming from an agricultural economy to a service economy and more specifically using poverty status and consumption expenditure as proxies of welfare.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":52616,"journal":{"name":"Wellbeing Space and Society","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100232"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143129408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
