Chandra Nandi, Nepal. "Issues and approaches in aquaculture of rural ponds of Southern West Bengal with introspection over the years." Journal of Aquaculture and Marine Biology 11, no. 1 (July 22, 2022): 36–39. http://dx.doi.org/10.15406/jamb.2022.11.00334.
Full textAbstract:
Utilization and aquaculture scenarios of rural ponds of various sizes in West Bengal especially southern West Bengal have been investigated and observed for more than sixty years. These ponds are of various shapes, sizes, and depths, and used by the rural people for domestic, agricultural irrigation, pisciculture, livelihood dependency, firefighting, and community wellbeing. During the post-independence period, these ponds have undergone succession of shifting attention and shared interests towards their service to the rural community and the society. In recent years, these ponds suffer shrinkage due to silt accumulation and waste disposal, becoming increasingly semi-derelict and derelict, and encroachment continued rampant. Productivity as well as aesthetic values has gone down along with the increase in pollution and environmental degradation. Indigenous management option of Parha Level Pond Care (PLPC) aqua cultural production with annual management action plan at the village level local unit (Parha / Ward/ Neighborhood) in conjunct with local Panchayat is suggested for agri-piscicultural integration with Integrated Area Development Network Programme (IADNP) at the Block Development level.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Rural development in Bangladesh is crucial for the country's socio-economic progress, given the significant portion of its population residing in rural areas. However, achieving sustainability in rural development poses numerous challenges due to various factors such as poverty, environmental degradation, and limited access to resources. Rural development is the process of improving the quality of life and economic well-being of people living in rural areas. The term ‘rural development’ is used to describe the deliberate actions made in non- urban parts of a developing country to alleviate or eradicate poverty, increase resilience, promote ecological sustainability and build capacity to meet these and other issues. Rural development has traditionally centered on the exploitation of land, intensive natural resources such as agriculture, aquaculture and forestry. However, change in global production networks and increased urbanization have changed the characteristics of rural areas. According to World Bank estimation, rural population is 66.5% of the total population and remaining 33.5% are urban population in Bangladesh. It is quite evident that without development of the larger portion of the population of the rural area, sustained development is not possible for the country. Rural development is deeply rooted within our society and it is integrated in the way of life, livelihood and culture of the people of Bangladesh Since independence the Government of Bangladesh has been taking constant initiatives in terms of policies, strategies and programmes to promote sustainable rural development in the country. In this connection a research work has been undertaken to know the prospects and challenges for sustainable rural development entitled; “Sustainable Rural Development in Bangladesh: A Case Study of Three Villages at Gopalganj District” during 2022-2023 fiscal year. For this purpose, 03(three) villages beside BAPARD have been selected named Tarashi, Jathia and Satrakanda. Objectives: This research aims to investigate the prospects and challenges associated with rural development in Bangladesh and to identify strategies for enhancing sustainability in this context. A case study approach is adopted to provide an in-depth understanding of the dynamics and complexities involved in rural development initiatives. The specific objectives were: to identify the betterment related to sustainable promotion of development on rural community; to elucidate the prospects and challenges faced on rural prosperity achieving sustainable development; and to suggest possible ways for minimizing the problems and challenges that rural member faced in course of their sustainable rural development. Methods: The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of secondary data with qualitative insights gathered through interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations. A specific rural area in Bangladesh is selected as the case study site to capture the nuances of local contexts and experiences. Results: Analysis of the data reveals both promising prospects and formidable challenges in the realm of rural development in Bangladesh. On one hand, there are instances of successful interventions that have improved livelihoods and enhanced community resilience. On the other hand, persistent issues such as poverty, inadequate infrastructure, and environmental degradation continue to hinder sustainable development efforts. Conclusion: Despite the challenges, there exist opportunities to promote sustainable rural development in Bangladesh through targeted policies, innovative approaches, and community participation. By addressing socio-economic disparities, strengthening institutional capacities, and integrating environmental considerations into development strategies, it is possible to create a more inclusive and resilient rural landscape in Bangladesh.

The European Community (EC) has played a significant role in the development of the aquaculture industry during recent years. With the objective of stimulating the economic development of the less favoured coastal and rural areas, the EC has provided financial support to the aquaculture industry and to research activities in this field. Two specific research programmes that include aquaculture are being implemented by the EC at present. They are the FAR (Fisheries and Aquaculture Research) and the AAIR (Agriculture and Agro-Industry, including Fisheries Research) programmes. Both aim to promote the cooperation and coordination of research between Member States, providing financial support to research projects dealing with the following areas: rearing techniques; disease problems; genetics; interactions between aquaculture and the environment. In addition, these programmes support the organization of workshops, seminars, conferences etc., and bursaries for the exchange of scientists and students. It is too early to evaluate the contribution of these programmes to the development of the aquaculture industry. However, the FAR programme has succeeded in creating and improving links in the Community. Coordination is expected to be reinforced in the new research programme, which is now under preparation. This paper describes the current activities, priorities and future opportunities of the Community research programmes in the field of aquaculture.

This study aims to identify issues and formulate strategies related to the development of aquaculture village areas in Garut Regency. This research was conducted for 2 months, namely August-October. Methods of data collection by observation and interviews. Data analysis using SWOT analysis. Garut Regency has the potential for freshwater aquaculture covering an area of 26,000 hectares which includes aquaculture of calm water ponds, swift water ponds and rice fields. The aquaculture village is a program from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) which aims to improve the local rural economy for the period 2021-2024. The application of the concept of developing aquaculture villages is a strategic step in the implementation of marine and fisheries development. Aquaculture village is an area based on superior commodities and local commodities, which can encourage the development of competitive and sustainable fish farming, as well as protect fish resources and ensure sustainable and planned production. The results of the SWOT analysis show that an important strategy in developing aquaculture village areas in Garut Regency is to take advantage of market opportunities, government development supervision and community participation.

Full textAbstract:
Data relating to community development activities are often decentralised in nature and does not easily facilitate any national-level analysis. Given non-trivial spending in this area and increased pressure to show value for money in all areas of government expenditure, there is increased pressure for some measurement and assessment of community-level spending. In Ireland, a single body, Pobal, coordinates a large proportion of community development activity under a national community development programme. The Local and Community Development Programme represented a central component of Ireland’s funding for community development which aims to tackle poverty, social exclusion and long-term unemployment through local engagement and partnerships between disadvantaged individuals, community organisations and public sector agencies. This ‘bottom-up’ structure aims to enable participation by citizens in the design, planning and implementation of interventions at a local level. Organisations in receipt of funding under Local and Community Development Programme must record their activities within a single database. The availability of this data provides a unique opportunity to address a number of key questions, in a unified framework, regarding community development spending that will help inform policy both in Ireland and elsewhere. Specifically, the paper explores the relationship between community development training and goals and the links between provision and social deprivation, geography and cost. It also considers the extent to which the general requirement to demonstrate value for money in the public finances could, and/or should, be extended into the community development realm.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to understand the role of homestay programme development as a medium for community-based tourism in rural areas. Although many homestay businesses are actively run by the local community, the sustainability of the development is questionable. Attributes from previous research of local communities’ attitude were reviewed and linked to construct a conceptual framework within the scope of homestay tourism. This study is deductive in nature where descriptive analysis is used to generate mean values of the variables. Four variables were tested: financial resources, infrastructure resources, community participation and community empowerment for the mean values. This finding can be used in determining sustainable tourism practice which will be focused on economic, socio cultural and environmental pillars. The descriptive statistical analysis reveals that the community is heavily participating in tourism activities in their village; however, they are not genuinely empowered. Apart from that, financial and infrastructure resources are not in good state and require improvement.

Full textAbstract:
This article intends to review agromaritime potential within the scope of aquaculture, capture fisheries and fisheries processing in Batam City where Rempang Island is located. Only a small portion of this potential has been used by the community. This article hopes that it can be compatible and give a new perspective to the Program Strategis Nasional (PSN), or become an alternative to other development programs if the PSN is suspended. Batam City's agromaritime sector has high economic potential. From aquaculture alone, the economic potential is estimated at IDR 2.62 trillion/year, originating from mariculture production, brackish water aquaculture and freshwater aquaculture. This development potential is faced with issues and problems of human resource capacity (fish farmers) and institutions, the availability of production inputs, especially feed and seeds at the right time, right quantity, right quality, and right price (4T), and the decline in water quality due to physical industrial development. The recommendation for the Batam City Government is to prioritize development of the agromaritime industry, especially aquaculture, capture fisheries and fisheries processing. This sector is more in line with the socio-culture of the local community and is thought to be more sustainable, apart from making a very high economic contribution. This sector is believed to be able to provide prosperity to the community and financial income to the city government and central government.

Abstract This article traces a community-based participatory action research (CBPAR) project which engaged local non-profits and the immigrant community in Flint, Michigan, USA, to identify areas for growth in support of local immigrant-background residents. Collaborative data-gathering began in 2015 with the creation of a community asset map which outlined existing services available to immigrants, as well as potential areas for growth. This was followed by a series of linguistically and culturally sensitive focus groups with immigrant-background participants. The use of CBPAR was foundational to this study because it engaged the local community in the needs analysis process and resulted in the development of grassroots ESOL programming. The article outlines steps and recommendations for community-based participatory ESOL needs analysis that can be applied to other geographical regions and ESOL programmes.

An evaluation of a community learning programme targeting young people found that people within local organisations (hereafter Community Assets) who were primarily responsible for providing learning opportunities, were also offering career guidance, although they did not wish to describe their activities as such. Through discussions with these Assets, it became clear that their career guidance practices could be related to the theory of identity capital. Although the programme finished at a time when the future of career guidance in England was uncertain, the Community Assets’ enthusiasm for this practice, and the support of local schools, indicated that this was an approach which could be developed further

This study aims to shed light on the government's approach to promoting community involvement in the creation of religious villages. The focus of the study is on community involvement, local government involvement, and policy solutions to ensure the success of Kampung Al-Quran, a religious village development programme in Lumban Dolok Village, Siabu District, Mandailing Natal District. Through the use of qualitative research, observations were concentrated on three distinct locations that served as the hubs of religious activity, interviews with six selected participants who held important positions and knowledge, and documentation data were collected. Including this study, the community actively participated in the construction of the Raya al-Muttaqin mosque, which serves as the central focus of the Kampung Al-Qur'an programme. The village government is still rigorous in how it exercises its authority at the local level, despite the fact that the government lacks an operational strategy for the sustainability of the Kampung Al-Quran programme. It is implied that the Kampung Al-Qur'an programme being carried out in an incalculable way. In order to strengthen the Kampung Al-Qur'an programme in an integrated and long-lasting way, a collaborative strategy is suggested in this article.

UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere Programme (MAB) and the International Geoscience and Geoparks Programme (IGGP) are two themes in UNESCO’s Natural Science Sector. Biosphere Reserves of the MAB Programme are more focused on building international, regional, sub-regional, and ecosystem-specific cooperation as “learning places’’ for sustainable development with a focus on biodiversity. The IGGP supports research and capacity development in Earth Sciences and comprises two sub-programmes: the International Geoscience Programme (IGCP) and the UNESCO Global Geoparks Programme (UGGP). UNESCO Global Geoparks (UGGps) use a bottom-up approach to engage local communities in capacity building, via tourism development, with the common goal of promoting and protecting the area’s geological and cultural heritage. Here, we present the results of comparing local involvement from two case studies from Japan, the Mount Hakusan Biosphere Reserve and the National Mount Hakusan Tedori-river Geopark, along with two case studies from Russia, the Altaisky Biosphere Reserve and the regional Geopark Altai. In this study, we found more involvement by local community members in the Geopark than in the Biosphere Reserve in Japan. The Russian case studies show a complete opposite result with more involvement of local communities in the BRs, and less participation in Geopark management. The purpose of this project was to provide information to improve local involvement in both Japanese and Russian Biosphere Reserves and Geoparks through changes in education and management styles.

Recognizing the pivotal role of media in fostering societal progress, this study sought to investigate how the radio programme ‘Ekid Idediongo’ on Heritage radio contribute to the advancement of rural communities in Eket. Through a comprehensive survey method, data was collected from quantitative sources. A survey questionnaire was administered to a diverse sample of 400 respondents within Eket LGA, encompassing various demographic backgrounds. Findings from the study indicated a generally positive perception of the "Ekid Idediongo" radio programme among the Eket audience. Respondents highlighted the programme's role in raising awareness about local heritage, culture, and developmental issues. The radio programme was recognized as a valuable platform for disseminating information, fostering community engagement, and promoting social cohesion. Furthermore, the study revealed that the "Ekid Idediongo" radio programme play a significant role in knowledge dissemination, education, and empowerment of rural residents. Listeners reported an increased understanding of traditional values, history, and developmental opportunities as a result of their engagement with the programme. Notably, the radio programme emerged as a means to amplify local voices, allowing community members to actively participate in discussions on matters affecting their lives. While acknowledging the positive impact of the programme, certain challenges were identified, including limited reach in some remote areas, technological barriers, and occasional discrepancies between listener expectations and programme content. The study concluded that the "Ekid Idediongo" radio programme on Heritage 104.9FM demonstrated its potential as a potent tool for rural development in the Eket region. By fostering cultural preservation, knowledge dissemination, and community engagement, the programme contributed to the overall advancement of rural communities. The study recommended that to capture and maintain the attention of the Eket audience, 'Ekid Idediongo' programme producers should diversify its content and format.

The paper presents the results of studies aimed at determining the role of the LEADER Programme in supporting development of rural areas. The analysis was performed on the basis of a case study of the Local Action Group (LAG) “Ziemia Zamojska”. We used data from the LAG Office and the information contained in its strategic documents. “Ziemia Zamojska” LAG has received a total of PLN 6064 thousand for the implementation of activities under Axis 4 LEADER, of which more than three-quarters is for Action 413 “Implementing Local Development Strategies.” A significant portion of these funds were earmarked for investment projects responding to the immediate needs of the population (community centres, playgrounds, computer rooms with Internet access), which entail greater involvement of local communities. Efficient and effective use of financial resources available to the beneficiaries in the area covered by the local development strategy has a positive impact on the development of such areas and the local community. The opportunities created by financing and independent project implementation improve the quality of life (e.g., through the development of infrastructure), and above all, help to build and strengthen social capital in rural areas.

Abstract Rokan Hilir Regency is situated east coast of Sumatera in Riau Province. Fish production of the area dominated by capture fisheries (80.67%) compared to aquaculture production (19.33%), however, there is a demand for strengthening the role of aquacuture. This study aimed to analyze the prospects and strategies for developing aquaculture in this area. Primary data was obtained by measuring of water quality, observations of aquaculture objects and other supporting facilities. Interviews and discussion were conducted with fish farmers, community leaders, the fishing industry, local government officials and other stakeholders. Secondary data were obtained from government and private institutions. This area has the potential for freshwater aquaculture of 102.80 ha, brackishwater aquaculture of 3,049.25 ha, and marine aquaculture of 118.330 ha. In 2019, aquaculture only utilized an area of around 2,879,107 ha, including 47,107 ha of freshwater (ponds), 10 ha of brackish, and 2,822 ha of shellfish ponds. Aquaculture production in 2019 was 15,006.34 tons consisting of fish production from ponds (blood clams and shrimp) 9,009.34 tons which was the main production, followed by fish production from ponds of 5,997 tons. In coastal waters, it is recommended to cultivate blood cockles and Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). While in inland waters, the recommended fish culture included tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), striped catfish (Pangasianodon sp), kissing gouramy (Osphronemus sp), and African catfish (Clarias gariepenus), both in ponds and floating net cages. The recommended development strategies include; training on aquaculture human resources, training on making their own feed, building seed and brood centers, and providing business stimulants in the form of seeds, making ponds and floating net cages as well as sustainable guidance from the fisheries industry and the government.

Coastal and terrestrial fisheries communities in Europe, often economically marginalised, are likely to face severe impacts as climate change becomes more acute. Although progress on climate mitigation and adaptation from national governments remains slow, local development actions can also address these impacts from the bottom up. In this paper we analyse the Fisheries and Sea Operational Programme 2014–2020 and 36 Local Development Strategies prepared within the framework of this programme for the case of Poland. The strategies, which were prepared by cross-sectoral, area-based partnerships known as Fisheries Local Action Groups, are analysed using a content analysis approach. The aim was to assess the degree to which local stakeholders sought to address the climate challenge. We found that the mitigation of climate impacts and the development of renewable energy did not feature prominently in the analysed documents, suggesting that both central policymakers and local stakeholders in Polish fisheries regions had a low level of awareness about the climate problem and their potentially important role in addressing it. Transformation to a post-carbon society undoubtedly requires additional, targeted support and extensive educational activities at the local level, in Poland and elsewhere.

Culture has a critical role in transforming localities into more attractive places to work and invest. Cultural activities and facilities significantly affect the development of the physical environment of cities. But what does it all mean for the local residents of the neighbourhoods? How do they feel or participate in cultural activities organized for them? The overall aim of this study has been to evaluate participation effect on the development of Riga’s neighbourhoods during the year of The European Capital of Culture. During the research, the authors have used the mixed research methodology. The qualitative analysis of the Riga 2014 programme has been done based on the qualitative interviews with the artistic team, project managers and entrepreneurs from Riga’s neighbourhoods; besides, a detailed analysis of Riga 2014 programme events has been performed. The main findings show that cultural life in the neighbourhoods is among the most important factors determining the satisfaction with life by the neighbourhoods’ inhabitants. Personalities, not infrastructure have a crucial importance in the development of neighbourhood cultural life. Cultural activities in neighbourhood should be carried out in close cooperation with the stakeholders from different sectors. This can bring to sustainable and long‑term effects.

Introduction. The world is aware of the importance of preserving natural resources and is shifting its focus to a social perspective, reflecting the acceptance of sustainable development principles. Aquaculture management must consider the impacts on the ecosystem and community, ensuring a balance in the use of water resources. Aquaculture can become a sustainable way to generate economic resources, and has recreational and cultural applications. This study examines the possibilities of using aquaculture in educational and cultural activities, public leisure, aesthetic education, and the development of park areas, as well as for other multifunctional purposes that contribute to improving water environment management and creating new ecological jobs.
Aim and tasks. The study aims to develop a conceptual vision of multifunctional aquaculture facilities as innovative and recreational centres for new jobs and the development of the local economy, considering socio-ecological and economic motivational mechanisms and effects that have not been previously investigated.
Results. The variability of directions for the development of aquaculture activities in the context of implementing marine strategies, Sustainable Development Goals, and reduction of the negative consequences of water pollution due to military actions. Socio-ecological and economic motivational mechanisms have been developed to form aquaculture facilities as centres of a green corridor or a concentration of ecologically safe zones to integrate them into urban and rural spaces. Measures for integrating aquaculture into tourism activities and the scientific concept of the concentration of ecologically safe territories with an aquaculture core in terms of organizational measures and possible effects are proposed.
Conclusions. A conceptual vision of multifunctional aquaculture facilities with the functions of reproduction, education and cultural-recreational enlightenment in terms of scientific and educational, decorative and circular facilities was proposed. The scientific concept of the concentration of ecologically safe territories with an aquaculture core in terms of organizational measures and possible effects was proposed.

AbstractCollaboration is an important means of tackling local socio-economic challenges. This paper looks at how the collaborative capacity of Ireland’s community development leaders can be improved. The most recent efforts to establish a more coordinated and coherent approach to community development saw the introduction of a new local committee structure, known as local community development committees (LCDCs). LCDCs were expected to enhance collaboration between public, private and third sector socio-economic partners. However, effective intersectoral collaboration is often difficult to attain. A programme of capacity building can play a key part in supporting collaborative working between local leaders. Based on the findings from a place-based leadership development workshop, this paper discusses the barriers to collaboration facing community development leaders and how these might be overcome. Surfacing and working through tensions to enable clarity, through enhanced mutual understanding and strong relationships across community development committees, is vitally important. To this end, a practical and evidence-based approach to improving collaboration between local leaders is argued for.

<p>Creative Community Development Workshop is a collaborative programme initiated from the two tiers of academic endeavours to achieve people’s involvement to foster cities in sustainable manner. The first tier is a regular programme from a studio subject in Urban Design and Development International Programme, Faculty of Architecture and Planning at Thammasat University, UD326 Urban Regeneration. The second tier is an annual international academic consortium event, established since 2009 upon the initiative of the Yokohama City University (YCU) called, “the International Academic Consortium for Sustainable Cities (IACSC)”. Focusing on urban planning, public health and environment as the major components of cities, the consortium endeavours to develop cooperation, foster dialogues and discussions, encourage sharing of information and resources and promote networking mainly in Asia on research and collaborative activities between academic and research institutions, and establish and strengthen the linkage between universities and the cities where they belong towards capacity building for a sustainable society.<br />The workshop in 2017 on Creative Community Development was an activity under the 8<sup>th</sup> IACSC Symposium on “Well-being of Sustainable Living in Aging Population Era” which was hosted by Thammasat University at Rangsit Campus. The workshop was hosted by Urban Design and Development International Programme (UDDI) between 5-11 September 2017 at the Faculty of Architecture and Planning and on-site study area in Suan Yai Bang Kwang, Bang Kho Laem District, Bangkok, and conducted in a week session on the preliminary stage of community development study and regeneration proposal of the Urban Regeneration studio.<br />The workshop participants included students, instructors and research assistants from four leading universities in Asia i.e. Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Thailand. The aims of the workshop are to promote a mutual understanding among the international students, to enhance the students’ ability to propose planning scheme proposal in communicable manner, and, and to give an opportunity for students to work with and contribute to the local community the community development ideas towards livability and sustainability.<br />The workshop was directed into three sections throughout 7 days, from the workshop commencement, field visit and survey, to group discussion and developing proposals to report to the consortium. Towards the students’ proposals on the study area regeneration, the final product of the work was presented at the workshop final event and debriefing, and at the poster session at the 8<sup>th</sup> IACSC General Assembly and Symposium in the end of the programme.<br />The final proposals introducing urban regeneration into Suan Yai Bang Khwang ranged from enhancing mobility and accessibility, community betterment, housing development, and disaster prevention, connecting the residents and the main canal, boosting the local economy, improving the community development, tidying spaces and creating green space, to creating local street markets into the area.</p>

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe pepperbark tree Warburgia salutaris is categorized as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, primarily because of human-induced habitat degradation and over-collection for herbal medicine. Benefits from the reintroduction programme for the species in Tanganda Halt, on the edge of the Mutema Highlands in south-east Zimbabwe, are unequally distributed. This has influenced the attitudes of the local people towards the project and any future plant conservation initiatives. People receiving indirect benefits from the programme expressed positive attitudes towards W. salutaris for cultural, aesthetic and ecological reasons; those receiving direct benefits cited positive impacts on their household welfare. If the reintroduction programme for W. salutaris is to play a part in sustainable development in Tanganda Halt then inequalities in the distribution of benefits need to be addressed. The W. salutaris reintroduction programme is still evolving. Evaluating the attitudes of local people towards the programme provides valuable insights for development planning and for future plant conservation programmes in south-east Zimbabwe.

With the advent of democracy in 1994, the South African government introduced various initiatives as part of youth skills development intervention programmes, and one of such programmes is the internship programme, which is aimed at exposing graduates to workplace dynamics and getting young people to develop their practical skills to nature careers. This programme, however, has its own challenges, especially on the part of the students, who, after completion, appear to struggle finding sustainable employment, which, in turn, renders the programme questionable. The aim of this study is to analyse the skill relevance of the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) internship programme in preparing interns for permanent employment in the employment sector. This study was empirical and used qualitative methods to analyse the skills acquired by interns during the internship programme at DHET. The sample from which data was gleaned consisted of senior managers and interns placed in different units within the department. While the concept of an internship is admirable for exposing graduates to various employment sectors, the study discovered some flaws in its implementation. For example, it was established that the process of placing interns in the DHET was almost done haphazardly, with little consideration of the linkage between their educational background and the units where training occurs. Therefore, this defeats the general mission of the programme itself and is the cause of the diminished future employment prospects of the students. The study recommended, among other things, that DHET provide graduate interns with technical and strategic training opportunities tailored to their specific career needs in order to improve their employability prospects. Possible ways to overcome the internship-related problems identified in the study are outlined towards the end of this article.

Full textAbstract:
Type 2 diabetes prevention is a major priority for healthcare services and public health. This study aimed to evaluate how a local authority in England piloted a diabetes prevention programme. The South Gloucestershire Diabetes Prevention (Pilot) Programme (SGDPP) comprised a group health education course over six weeks with subsequent support provision up to six months post-enrolment. Of the 300 patients invited onto the programme, 32% enrolled and 29% completed the full six-month programme. There was an attendance rate of 84% throughout group sessions and at a six-month follow-up. There were significant improvements across most measures at six months, including a 4 kg mean weight loss and a 3.45 mmol/mol mean HbA1c reduction. Clear goals, high quality organization and personal qualities of educators were identified as central for the programme’s success. The unit costs were similar to pilots of other healthy lifestyle programmes. The evaluation found evidence of reduced type 2 diabetes risk markers, positive impacts for dietary and physical activity, and potential cost-effectiveness for this format of group-based diabetes prevention intervention. Feedback from multiple stakeholders provided insight on how to successfully embed and scale-up delivery of diabetes prevention work. This evidence enables the integration of learning in local service delivery and provides a basis to support development of the national diabetes prevention programme.

Sustainable development in mountain areas faces numerous socioenvironmental and economic challenges that public institutions have sought to address for decades. The EU is increasingly demanding Higher Education Institutions be more socially relevant and responsible in addressing the needs of these often-underserved communities. To this end, one central principle of the Erasmus+ Project 2014–2020, also consolidated by the Programme 2021–2027, has been to enhance the development, transfer, and implementation of innovative practices fostering social engagement at the local and international levels. The paper describes a case study developed in the “Socially Engaged Universities—(SEU)” project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme 2014–2020, which aimed to strengthen the cooperation between universities and local communities. A local foundation and the University of Parma co-piloted a project to strengthen the short supply chains of a group of farmers in the Italian Appennines. The partnership identified factors that fostered and hampered the effectiveness of community–university partnerships. We propose some final recommendations to ensure that sustainable rural development fully leverages university resources. This includes higher education teaching and research programmes tailored toward the needs of the local community.

In this article the authors offer an in-depth analysis of the current state of hydroecosystems and the problems of their conservation. The key tasks relevant to aquaculture as a tool for resolving management problems are discussed in detail. The authors examine various approaches and methods used in relation to the eco-improvements of the industry under study, providing examples of positive impacts on biodiversity and sustainability of aquatic ecosystems. Aquaculture is a promising way of addressing food security issues and plays an important role in the functioning of ecological systems. Through integrated management, the desired results can be achieved, including the conservation of biodiversity, which will contribute to the sustainable functioning of organisms. Accordingly, it helps to reduce the levels of pressure on natural populations by regulating fisheries and thereby allowing natural ecosystems to maintain their balance. The practice of aquaculture involves the protection and preservation of natural habitats, such as wetlands and nesting sites for many species of birds. Such areas are critical for the reproduction of many aquatic species, contributing to the functioning of the ecosystem. Modern aquaculture systems include monitoring methods, as they can pose environmental threats and create environmental risks to the respective state of the hydroecosystem. Other important tasks include improving aquaculture waste management and improving water quality by removing excess organic matter and other particles using natural biofilters. Promising methods of aquaculture include the cultivation of algae that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and contribute to the development of green energy. Local community aquaculture reduces dependence on natural fisheries by providing jobs and alternative food sources. Aquaculture research can be used in ecosystem restoration projects. Understanding the interactions in aquaculture systems contributes to the knowledge of ecosystem dynamics and is the basis for management practices. The conclusions of the article emphasise the importance of aquaculture as a tool for achieving sustainable ecosystem development and provide practical recommendations for further research in this area. This approach allows us to highlight the multifaceted aspects of the problems and their relevance to the scientific community and practical application in natural resource management.

Full textAbstract:
Eelgrass (Zostera marina) has been designated an Ecologically Significant Species in Atlantic Canada. The development and rapid expansion of netpen finfish aquaculture into sensitive coastal habitats has raised concerns about the impacts of finfish aquaculture on eelgrass habitats. To date, no studies have been done in Atlantic Canada to examine these impacts or to identify potential monitoring variables that would aid in the development of specific conservation and management objectives. As a first step in addressing this gap, we examined differences in environmental variables, eelgrass bed structure and macroinfauna communities at increasing distances from a finfish farm in Port Mouton Bay, a reference site in adjacent Port Joli Bay, and published survey results from other sites without finfish farms along the Atlantic Coast of Nova Scotia. Drawing on research done elsewhere and our results, we then identified possible metrics for assessing and monitoring local impacts of finfish aquaculture on eelgrass habitats. Our results suggest some nutrient and organic enrichment, higher epiphyte loads, lower eelgrass cover and biomass, and lower macroinfauna biomass closer to the farm. Moreover, community structure significantly differed between sites with some species increasing and others decreasing closer to the farm. Changes in the macroinfauna community could be linked to observed differences in environmental and eelgrass bed variables. These results provide new insights into the potential impacts of finfish aquaculture on eelgrass habitats in Atlantic Canada. We recommend a suite of measures for assessment and monitoring that take into account response time to disturbance and account for different levels of eelgrass organizational response (from physiological to community).

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In this article, I aim to add to the literature on the impact of neoliberalism on community development by focusing on two recent seemingly unrelated developments in Ireland. The first is the reframing of ‘community development’ as ‘community activation’ in Ireland’s latest community development programme. I suggest that this ‘community activation’ turn marks a new departure in the social and political embedding of neoliberalism in community development and in Irish society more broadly in that its reframing of both the identity of ‘the poor’ and of the nature of supports that they require individualizes responsibility and action. This, I argue, not only fragments and atomizes communities, it also risks foreclosing any substantive discussion and deliberation of structural issues, thereby posing a threat to democracy. The second development is the concomitant emergence of a new, more critically engaged form of community activism in the form of the so-called ‘water movement’. The actions and aspirations of the women we interviewed within this movement highlight their role in revitalizing and re-energizing communities, animating public debate and redirecting power back into communities. Activation clearly comes in many forms and, under the shadow of neoliberal reforms, results in many different outcomes. How or if the formal community sector chooses to respond to this diversity and what impacts this will have will prove critical to local communities as well as providing important avenues for future research.

ObjectivesAs age increases, people generally start experiencing problems related to independent living, resulting in an increased need for long-term care services. Investing in sustainable solutions to promote independent living is therefore essential. Subsequently, reablement is a concept attracting growing interest. Reablement is a person-centred, holistic approach promoting older adults’ active participation through daily, social, leisure and physical activities. The aim of this paper is to describe the development and content of I-MANAGE, a model for a reablement programme for community-dwelling older adults.DesignThe development of the programme was performed according to the Medical Research Council framework as part of the TRANS-SENIOR international training and research network. A co-creation design was used, including literature research, observations, interviews, and working group sessions with stakeholders.Setting and participantsThe interviews and working group sessions took place in the Dutch long-term home care context. Stakeholders invited to the individual interviews and working group sessions included care professionals, policymakers, client representatives, informal caregiver representatives, informal caregivers, and scientific experts.ResultsThe co-creation process resulted in a 5-phase interdisciplinary primary care programme, called I-MANAGE. The programme focuses on improving the self-management and well-being of older adults by working towards their meaningful goals. During the programme, the person’s physical and social environment will be put to optimal use, and sufficient support will be provided to informal caregivers to reduce their burden. Lastly, the programme aims for continuity of care and better communication and coordination.ConclusionThe I-MANAGE programme can be tailored to the local practices and resources and is therefore suitable for the use in different settings, nationally and internationally. If the programme is implemented as described, it is important to closely monitor the process and results.

Background: Within the Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) programme, community engagement has been central in facilitating the acceptance of VMMC, especially in non-circumcising communities. We used the case of the development of community engagement plans for sustainability of VMMC in Zambia to illustrate diversity of stakeholders, their power, roles, and strategies in community engagement. Methods: Data were collected using document review, in-depth interviews (n=35) and focus group discussions (n=35) with community stakeholders, health workers, health centre committees, counsellors, teachers, community volunteers and parents/caregivers. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. The analysis was guided by the power and interest model. Results: Differences were noted between the rural and urban sites in terms of power/influence and interest rating of community stakeholders who could be involved in the sustainability phase of the VMMC response in Zambia. For example, in the urban setting, neighbourhood health committees (NHCs), health workers, leaders of clubs, community health workers (CHWs), radio, television and social media platforms were ranked highest. From this list, social media and television platforms were not highly ranked in rural areas. Some stakeholders had more sources of power than others. Forms or sources of power included technical expertise, local authority, financial resources, collective action (action through schools, churches, media platforms, other community spaces), and relational power. Key roles and strategies included strengthening and broadening local coordination systems, enhancing community involvement, promoting community-led monitoring and evaluation, through the use of locally recognised communication spaces and channels, facilitating ownership of VMMC, and improving local accountability processes in VMMC activities. Conclusions: By consulting with the most relevant stakeholders, and considering community needs in programme development, the VMMC programme may be able to leverage the community structures and systems to reduce long term demand generation costs for VMMC and increase the acceptability and frequency of male circumcision.

BackgroundCommunity paramedicine (CP) models have been applied across rural and urban communities in support of healthcare delivery systems for nearly two decades. However, there is still insufficient information regarding the development of sustainable CP programmes. This study explores the strategies used by active CP programmes and investigates their operational statuses, community demographics, financial models and challenges for programme development.MethodsA series of interviews was conducted with four CP programmes in Pennsylvania, USA, which are affiliated with a local government, a health system, an ambulance service and an emergency medical service, respectively. Each CP programme uses its own model with unique goals, as well as providing corresponding services/care based on the demands from their communities.ResultsThree CP programmes in the study were mainly aimed at reducing healthcare resource utilisation (ie, reduce readmissions or ED utilisation), but one of the programmes developed a sustainable model aiding newborn care in the community. Establishing a solid reimbursement mechanism and working closely with collaborators are two major strategies for developing sustainable CP programmes. Complete data collection and a programme evaluation process will also be important to demonstrate the value of its CP models to potential collaborators and policy-makers. However, the cost-effectiveness of a CP model is still not easy to identify due to the separate programmes being developed without uniform goals.ConclusionThe challenges and solutions from the four programmes under study can provide a road map for the development of CP programmes for other communities.

Rural areas as the locus of tourism development need to prepare themselves to welcome the arrival of tourists. In order to create an empowered village community, one of the initial strategies that can be implemented is through a community service programme through socialisation of community empowerment through tour guiding in Pancoh Ecotourism Village. The socialisation of tour guiding activities is delivered through lecture and discussion methods about tour guiding, what things the guide needs to prepare before meeting tourists, and ways to find out the type or characteristics of tourists. Through this community service programme, the capacity of local human resources is prepared as well as possible to receive tourist visits and be able to provide services and guides according to professional standards. This community service programme is held to create a learning space for the community to improve their knowledge and abilities in the field of tour guiding.

Padang Pariaman Regency is one of the coastal regencies in West Sumatra which brackish aquaculture have been developed recently, especially shrimp pond aquaculture. This study was conducted to convey the pond's general condition, including the current status and the problems in aquaculture development. The method used was a desk study through the description of the status and the problems. Based on the study, the development of shrimp ponds increased quickly (63.77 ha) until 2019, which the largest number of ponds was in Batang Anai District, and spreading over 35 points. The production of that shrimp ponds in Padang Pariaman Regency reached 1,500 tons or Rp. 135 million (in 2017), which is marketed locally and outside Padang Pariaman. Problems that arose along with shrimp pond activities are 1. Shrimp pond construction is built very close to coastal areas 2. Shrimp pond activities do not have a business license, 3. Poor waste management of shrimp culture, 4. It is low involvement of the local community as technicians at the shrimp ponds, 5. Business license arrangement is done through third parties, and 6. It is an incompatibility between the area of ponds in the license and the real size of the ponds.

This article reports the process of identifying a well-being monitoring and evaluation approach for a community development programme with Aboriginal Native Title Holders in Northern Australia. The process involved the use of an empowerment-based Aboriginal Family Well-Being framework to enable Native Title Holders to articulate domains of value to their local community. These domains aligned with an existing culturally sensitive Aboriginal well-being survey tool which the Native Title Holders saw as relevant for their use. The attempts to provide Aboriginal people with a broader and more long-term perspective from which to judge the value of short-term projects is a different approach to traditional programme assessment (monitoring and evaluation). It aims to provide Aboriginal people with a more relevant frame from which they can make judgements about the worth of any programme or project in their location, supporting local control and decision-making. Potentially it provides Aboriginal people with the information from which to advocate for other supports and to assess the value of Government and other projects.

Full textAbstract:
Prevention and early intervention programmes, which aim to educate and support parents and young children in the earliest stages of the family lifecycle, have become an increasingly popular policy strategy for tackling intergenerational disadvantage and developmental inequality. Evidence-based, joined-up services are recommended as best practice for achieving optimal outcomes for parents and their children; however, there are persistent challenges to the development, adoption and installation of these kinds of initiatives in community-based primary health care settings. In this paper, we present a description of the design and installation of a multi-stakeholder early parenting education and intervention service model called the Parent and Infant (PIN) programme. This new programme is delivered collaboratively on a universal, area-wide basis through routine primary care services and combines standardised parent-training with other group-based supports designed to educate parents, strengthen parenting skills and wellbeing and enhance developmental outcomes in children aged 0–2 years. The programme design was informed by local needs analysis and piloting to establish an in-depth understanding of the local context. The findings demonstrate that a hospitable environment is central to establishing interagency parenting education and supports. Partnership, relationship-building and strategic leadership are vital to building commitment and buy-in for this kind of innovation and programme implementation. A graduated approach to implementation which provides training/education and coaching as well as organisational and administrative supports for practice change, are also important in creating an environment conducive to collaboration. Further research into the impact, implementation and cost-effectiveness of the PIN programme will help to build an understanding of what works for parents and infants, as well as identifying lessons for the development and implementation of other similar complex prevention and intervention programmes elsewhere. This kind of research coupled with the establishment of effective partnerships involving service providers, parents, researchers and policy makers, is necessary to meeting the challenge of improving family education and enhancing the capacity of family services to help promote positive outcomes for children.

Full textAbstract:
A recent phone-in request on the “Oyin Ado” programme on Fresh FM Indigenous Radio has prompted a call for an in-depth investigation into the impact of this programme on public requests and the government’s response to road development in the Ibadan hinterland, Oyo State, Nigeria. The study, conducted in Arapaja, Odoona Kekere, in the Oluyole local government area of Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria utilized a survey method, employing a questionnaire for data collection through simple random sampling techniques among residents. The findings reveal that respondents regularly tune in to “Oyin Ado” on Fresh FM, and the programme effectively facilitates making requests through phone-ins. Moreover, the study indicates that the audience believes the government acknowledges public requests through the programme, but the response to these requests regarding road development is not prompt. In light of these findings, the study recommends that the public continues to utilize this medium to draw the government’s attention to their requests, especially concerning community and infrastructural development. The “Oyin Ado” programme on Fresh FM remains a valuable tool for fostering communication between the public and the government, contributing to the overall development of the community.

Liverpool is a city which has, in many ways, undoubtedly and observably benefited from Objective One EU funding to the extent that there is pretty much universal agreement that this has underpinned the city’s recent renaissance. That said, outside the city centre persistent long-term economic problems endure. This paper reviews the mixed experiences of Merseyside’s Objective One ‘Pathways to Inclusion’ programme as an attempt to solve problems of concentrated deprivation, arguing that the success of conventional approaches has been mixed. Brexit provides an opportunity for a rupture with forms of local economic development that have been progressively neoliberalised through time. It argues for a focus on opportunities, not deficits and absences, using asset-based community development, diverse economies, and solidarity economy approaches.

Relevance in the research topic. The objective necessity and relevance to develop conceptual system principles for the reforms management in housing and community amenities as a programme is explained by the current sphere`s position. It is unprofitable, needs subsidies, and resource support having high energy consumption rate. Among national housing and community amenities` hot button problems we should admit its financial and economic management, management of the conditions and state support line, preservation and maintenance of the housing stock, energy saving, etc. The main provisions of the reform`s programme principles will allow to determine the main development trends in housing and community amenities, sector`s further recovery and will provide the conditions for its effective functioning. At the same time, one should take into account that higher management efficiency in housing and community amenities should simultaneously correspond to the higher level of consumer welfare and the quality of life. Problem statement. Problems of housing and community amenities management require special attention amid current reforms of administrative-territorial system and decentralization of power in Ukraine, since its maintenance is provided by local state authorities and united territorial communities (UTC) formed as a result of reforms. Analysis of recent research and publications. Zapatrina I., Kachala T., Kyzym M., Tyshchenko O., Povazhnyi O. and others dealt with the modern aspects of solving housing and community amenities` development problems [1-3]. Unsolved parts of the general problem. Nowadays the problem of housing and community amenities` management reform is still relevant. Thus, there is a need to model the management process of housing and community amenities` regional programmes. Study task and objective. The study objective is to develop theoretical and methodological principles, and practical measures for housing and community amenities management programme using modelling. To achieve the study objective we defined and solved the following tasks: to form and substantiate the management model of the reform programme and economic development of UTC housing and community amenities amid decentralization of power in Ukraine; to build a systemic financially stable management algorithm for the provision of UTC housing and community amenities services. Research method and methodology. General scientific (analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, and group analysis) and special (abstraction, economic and mathematical modelling, etc.) methods of studying economic phenomena and processes were used in the study. The main material. The housing and community amenities reform programme (the Programme) for UTCs should include improvement of current management system of housing and community amenities enterprises, development of market relations in the sector, reduction of costs and losses of energy carriers in housing and community amenities enterprises, implementation of effective energy-saving policy, support for self-organization types (homeowner associations, public associations) as partners of the Programme implementation. General management and funding of housing and community amenities are delegated to local executive bodies, which govern the majority of communal enterprises and housing and community amenities organizations. Amid national administrative and territorial system reform – to UTCs. Let us model the financial mechanism of housing and community amenities reform Programme in UTCs. Financing of housing and community amenities in UTCs is provided in case of self-financing at the expense of community budget funds. Income taxes of housing and community amenities enterprises are put to local budgets. At the same time, local budget funds cover the losses of housing and community amenities enterprises and, if necessary, fund the construction of new facilities. In the short run, the following options for the UTC budget are possible, namely: higher housing and community amenities debts may lead to stagnation (invariance) or lower budget profitability; profitability or reduction of housing and community amenities debts will ensure the budget revenue growth. In the long run, the further debts growth of housing and community amenities may lead to stagnation (revenue invariance), then to UTC incomes shortage and their bankruptcy. Conclusions. Based on the studied problems, the main goals of the current stage of the reformation process were set: to improve the quality of housing and community amenities services and management system, to build an effective system of market interaction between providers and consumers of housing and community amenities; to optimize the use of resources, real estate and housing infrastructure; to optimize price-making system for housing and community amenities services. In order to achieve the set goals, tree-based models were proposed: an oligopoly model of housing and community amenities providers; an oligopoly model of housing and community amenities consumers; finance management model for housing and community amenities using PPP mechanism; a model of the resource management information system; a model of the optimal price-making system in housing and community amenities. Parameters modelling of the reform Programme in housing and community amenities for different-sized local UTCs was made. The model of financial mechanism for the implementation of housing and community amenities reforms in UTC was proposed.

AimAge UK Lancashire received Big Lottery funding to deliver an active lives programme from January 2012 to December 2014 to the population of West Lancashire aged over 50 years. The overall aims of the associated evaluation were to measure older people’s experiences of participating in the programme, identify the impacts on their health and well-being and their suggestions for services development, and establish the costs and benefits of the programme.BackgroundThe World Health Organisation recommends older people should be able to achieve physical, social and mental well-being throughout their lives, and that international, national and local policies should be developed to support older adults, promote their independence and well-being, and encourage physical exercise. Consequently, the West Lancashire programme was to establish preventative community support for older people to assist in improving their well-being and physical and mental health, particularly those isolated due to age-related illness or disability. It was to provide interventions not available from local social care providers.MethodsA mixed methods approach was adopted, with the qualitative evaluation utilising focus groups to establish people’s experiences, identify impacts on their health and well-being, and suggestions for services development. This paper describes the quantitative evaluation, which involved three surveys and a costs analysis. The surveys were scheduled to give timely feedback to management about programme delivery and content, and overall benefits of participation.FindingsThe active lives programme and groups offered a wide range of flexible and local activities that provided benefits for older people in terms of health and well-being, social well-being and quality of life, and reducing social isolation. There was interconnectivity between these benefits. The programme was delivered in an affordable and flexible manner. Such programmes should be made more widely available.
