Abstract:
Originally associated to big cities' centres, coworking spaces and «third-places» have been blooming in rural regions and small towns over the past five years. The development of those places has been critically supported by local and national authorities, with a growing interest from rural localities. Indeed, those places are supposed to provide answers to numerous contemporary territorial challenges, and to tackle several dimensions or rural vulnerability. They are supposed to enhance sustainability by reducing the need to commute and car-dependence, by bringing both workplaces and services closer from home. They are also mobilised to tackle the issue of the digital gap between centres and peripheries, providing digital infrastructures and hardware. Finally, they are supposed to reduce territorial inequalities by strenghtening rural entrepreneurship, safeguarding local jobs, facilitating professional retraining and attract new residents by providing an easier access to telework. Conducted between 2018 and 2020 in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, our study provides some elements to evaluate the effects of those places on territorial vulnerability and marginality. Based on the study of 17 coworking spaces situated in rural areas, their funders’ trajectories and their users’ profiles, we discuss the motives and the expected returns of those places, and their actual potentialities and limits. We first present the definitions of coworking spaces and third-places, the origin of their recent spread in the rural areas and the main features of their geographical locations. Then, we present the rationales behind the creation and attendance to those places, by analysing funders and users’ trajectories and motives. We then present the potentialities and limits of third-places on territorial vulnerability. In the discussion, we interrogate the notion of marginality at the light of those places, that can be defined essentially as spatial and social networks. Indeed, our study enlights the diversity of lifestyles in the rural areas. Coworkers display particular spatial anchorages, with local resources being valued, though combined with forms of plural and multilocalized belongings. Their relationship with the margin is chosen, controlled and reversible, sometimes even yearned for. Their connectedness is not so much defined by where they live rather than by who they know, embodying the predominantly social dimension of marginality.

Abstract:
This study is based on data collected for a large project that investigated social literacies and various aspects of the literacy culture of members of three rural communities in Queensland. This study draws on ideas from current critical literacy theory and research and post-structural writings. It reports a distinctive set of observations which aim to contribute to social and educational knowledge in respect of centre-margin relationships, literacy-empowerment relationships, the changing socio-economic and political landscape in rural Australia, and the need for a new conceptual landscape to define the foundations of a 'postprogressive pedagogy'. This study delineates some of the distinctive features of rural communities, and investigates the connections that people construct between schooling and economic change and the future, and between literacy and schooling and various aspects of the culture of the community. It interprets how schooling and literacy are socially constructed by members of the rural communities studied. One hundred and fifty-eight residents of three rural/remote communities were interviewed and their responses recorded and analysed. The residents represented the full range of ages and occupations. A selection of data from these interviews is taken for this study, based on themes and issues emerging from the data. A theoretical and empirical framework for the study is provided by reviewing current literature on rurality and rural living, on communities and schooling and cultural practices; literature on qualitative research methodology, specifically ethnomethodology, methods of interview analysis and the application of these methods, is also reviewed. Ethnomethodology is used for this study and the specific analytic procedures of Membership Categorisation Analysis. This specific type of qualitative research methodology is chosen because of its power to take the everyday conversations of community members and, through analytical procedures, to make explicit in those members accounts the interaction of their experiences with the organisational and social forces (the social realities) which permeate their relationships with one another and with the context of the community where they live, work and recreate. This study makes use of recent systematic procedures developed for interrogating interview data. It adds to the research literature on ideologies of family and community literacies and social practices in Australian rural communities. The study provides information relevant to rural development planners, and education policy developers and curriculum writers, for the purpose of enhancing schooling for rural students and better understanding of rural lifestyles. This study's focus on rural communities has highlighted the complexities and diversities of the rural communities that are studied. The different approaches and debates about 'defining rural' must continue, and researchers must avoid promoting a unidimensional category of 'rural'. The changing and developing nature of the rural communities has also been prominent in this study. The implications of these complexities and changes are that rural communities should be studied regularly so that the effects of the changes can be traced and documented. There is a varied set of understandings among rural dwellers about education. For some, education is bringing knowledge and skills to life in the rural location and enabling residents to avail themselves of the urban offerings that may enhance their occupations and leisure activities thus utilising the benefits of two cultures to their best advantage. For others, there are the expectations that education will enable them to move away from the rural areas, to go to the city, to take up other careers, to lead a different lifestyle. Hypotheses and generalisations that express negative approaches to rural cultures and to rural education must be reduced and the positive aspects promoted. Any centre-margin discourse must be scrutinised for its relevance and the feasibility of the assumptions on which it is based. Education policy developers, social researchers and rural policy planners need to re-evaluate the philosophical premises on which the current concept of success is based: success for the individual school student, success for education and schooling, and success in adult life. A number of recommendations are developed in an attempt to make a vision of excellence in rural education a central part of rural agenda. Curriculum in rural schools needs to be matched to rural resources and rural occupations and lifestyles, and to encourage enterprise. While education remains a centralised provision, it needs to provide a context for training in the communication skills that shape rural people's views of their communities. Rural secondary students may be disadvantaged by not having access to a wide range of curriculum offerings, and at tertiary level by inequities (mostly financial) of access, but technology could be used to assist in broadening the range of offerings at secondary level, and library resources across the country could be better utilised. Social and education research could benefit from further studies using this methodology, for example, studies in mining communities, rural ethnic communities, rural tourist communities.

Porter, Suzette Adela Tindal. "Dental effectiveness in rural and remote Queensland." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2000. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/35843/1/35843_Digitised%20Thesis.pdf.

Full text
Abstract:
This research was stimulated by the knowledge that dental services to rural and remote consumers in Australia are unpredictable and will remain so into the future. Rural and remote consumers are disadvantaged in their access to dental services due to distance, scarcity of dentists, lack of choice· and variable quality of treatment and facilities. Nonetheless, it is clear that some rural and remote consumers are able to achieve sound oral health. This study examined these dental consumers in order to identify characteristics which may contribute to their success. Providing appropriate and adequate dental services to rural and remote towns is predicted to become more difficult and require greater travel due to both a reduction in the number of dentists and a smaller population base. Encouraging rural residents to become more effective as dental consumers may result in improved preventive practices, more positive attitudes to oral health and better dental status. Dental effectiveness is improved when the dentist-patient relationship is sound and when there is a source of routine and continuing dental care, features which should form part of public health policies and training of rural dentists.

Abstract:
The development of techniques for the detection of water leaks from underground pipelines is seen as a high profile activity by water companies and regulators. This is due to increasing water demands and problems with current leak detection methods. In this thesis optical reflectance and microwave backscatter were used to identify optimal indices for detecting water leaks amongst a variety of different land cover types at different growth stages. Ground-based surveys and modelling techniques were used to establish optimal wavelengths for detection. Results from these studies suggested that in the optical domain visible/middle infrared ratios show potential for leak detection for a wide range of leak types, under a variety of vegetation canopies at different growth stages. Given the sensitivity of L-band radar to moisture, and the ability to separate contributions from canopy and ground surface, it is possible to detect surface water beneath a range of vegetation canopies. The optimal leak detection indices were then used to idenitfy leaks on airborne image data. The available image data was L - band fully polarimetric E-SAR data, and 126 channel HYMAP hyperspectral airborne data which were acquired over an 8km section of the Vrynwy aqueduct (UK), which included a high concentration of leaks. Four of the five leaks were identifiable on the optical image data and none of the leaks were detectable on the microwave data. However the E-SAR data was obtained under unfavourable conditions. The results of both approaches are used to infer limits of detection in terms of season and meteorological conditions for a range of land covers. Preliminary findings suggest that leaks may be optimally detected when canopy height is low, surrounding soil is dry after a period of no rain, and the leak has been present for at least 2 days. The results from this work suggest that remote sensing is both an effective and feasible tool for leak identification.

Abstract:
Pulmonary rehabilitation, consisting of exercise training and education, is one of the most effective strategies for improving the health outcomes of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and reducing associated healthcare costs. Prior to the work presented in this thesis a description of the structure and content of pulmonary rehabilitation programs in Australia had not been published. In addition, whether existing programs met Australian recommendations for practice such as those contained in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Toolkit, was unknown. Despite the significant benefits for both individuals with COPD and the community, access to pulmonary rehabilitation is limited, particularly for those in rural and remote regions. A lack of adequately trained healthcare professionals may contribute to difficulties with establishing and maintaining pulmonary rehabilitation. However, the effect of healthcare professional training on the availability of pulmonary rehabilitation had not been previously investigated. There were no published reports documenting existing knowledge and skill levels, evaluating training strategies to up-skill rural/remote healthcare professionals or evaluating the impact of such training on the delivery of pulmonary rehabilitation. The aims of the studies presented in this thesis were to: describe the current provision of pulmonary rehabilitation in Australia and the alignment of these pulmonary rehabilitation programs with evidence-based recommendations; determine the level of knowledge and skills of rural and remote healthcare professionals in the management of people with chronic lung disease; investigate the ability of an educational training program for healthcare professionals to improve knowledge and confidence and improve the availability and delivery of pulmonary rehabilitation in rural and remote regions and explore the attitudes, opinions and concerns of healthcare professionals regarding the delivery of pulmonary rehabilitation. The first study (Chapter 2) was a cross sectional, observational study using a purpose designed anonymous paper-based survey. The national database of pulmonary rehabilitation programs, maintained by Lung Foundation Australia (LFA), was used to identify known programs in all states and territories of Australia. All pulmonary rehabilitation programs listed on the database at that time were included (n=193). Healthcare professionals who coordinated pulmonary rehabilitation were invited to participate. This study had a response rate of 83% (n=163) and all states and territories in Australia were represented. The responses enabled the structure and content of Australian pulmonary rehabilitation programs to be elucidated. Most Australian pulmonary rehabilitation programs broadly met recommendations for practice contained in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Toolkit in terms of included components (exercise training and education), program length, patient assessment and exercise training (duration, frequency and mode). Many respondents were not aware of major evidence-based practice guidelines (including the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Toolkit). Interestingly, despite not being aware of guidelines, most respondents indicated that they perceived a gap between current evidence and their practice in terms of exercise prescription and training. The studies presented in Chapters 4-7 were undertaken as individual components of a mixed methods study to evaluate the impact of the Breathe Easy Walk Easy (BEWE) program on healthcare professional knowledge and confidence, service delivery and patient outcomes in rural and remote Australian regions. The BEWE program was an interactive education and training program related to providing components of assessment and management (in particular pulmonary rehabilitation) for people with chronic respiratory disease. The BEWE program consisted of a training workshop, access to online resources, provision of community awareness-raising materials and ongoing telephone/email support. Details of the development of the BEWE program are presented in Chapter 1. Further information regarding the content and structure of the BEWE program along with relevant methods for the studies contained in Chapters 4-7, are presented in Chapter 3. The evaluation process was conducted by a researcher (the PhD candidate) who was independent of the development and delivery of the BEWE program. The study presented in Chapter 4 was a descriptive cross-sectional, observational survey design using a written anonymous questionnaire. Participants were healthcare professionals (n=31) who registered to attend the BEWE program initial workshop in either one rural or one remote Australian region. The main outcomes were participant attitudes, objective knowledge (case vignette-based) and self-rated experience, training, and levels of confidence. Participants were from a variety of professional backgrounds (allied health, medical, nursing) but were predominantly nurses (n=13) or physiotherapists (n=9). The main findings of this study were that that rural and remote healthcare professionals had low levels of experience, training, knowledge and confidence in providing components of management for people with COPD. Most participants reported that they had minimal or no experience or training in this area of practice. The scores in the measured knowledge quiz were generally poor, with mean knowledge score (number of correct answers out of 19) being 8.5 (SD=4.5). There were higher numbers of correct responses for questions relating to COPD disease pathophysiology and diagnosis than for questions relating specifically to pulmonary rehabilitation. In addition, most participants reported particularly low confidence in the delivery of pulmonary rehabilitation. Based on the findings of the study, the need for an education and training program for rural and remote healthcare professionals in the evidence-based management of people with COPD with an emphasis on pulmonary rehabilitation was evident. The effects of the delivery of an education and training program on healthcare professional knowledge and confidence in the management of people with COPD and on the availability of pulmonary rehabilitation were investigated and are presented in Chapter 5. This study was a quasi-experimental, before and after repeated measures design. Healthcare professionals (n=33) from various backgrounds who participated in the BEWE program were eligible to participate. The BEWE program was delivered in one rural and one remote region. Participant knowledge, confidence and attitudes were assessed via anonymous written questionnaire before, immediately after and at three and 12 months following the BEWE workshop. Participation in the BEWE program resulted in significant improvements in participants’ self-rated knowledge and confidence immediately after the workshop, and at three and 12 month follow-up. Measured knowledge (case vignette score out of 19) improved significantly immediately after the workshop compared to before (mean difference 7.6 correct answers, 95% CI 5.8 to 9.3). At 12-month follow-up, three locally run pulmonary rehabilitation programs had been established in participating regions. The availability of pulmonary rehabilitation following delivery of the BEWE program, as well as patient outcomes and the factors contributing to the change in service delivery were further explored and results are presented in Chapter 6. Data were collected regarding the provision of pulmonary rehabilitation services before and after delivery of the BEWE program and patient outcomes (six-minute walk test and health related quality of life) before and after pulmonary rehabilitation. Pulmonary rehabilitation was not available in any of the participating sites before the BEWE program. At 12-month follow-up three sites had established locally-run pulmonary rehabilitation programs which had a structure and content broadly meeting Australian practice recommendations for pulmonary rehabilitation. Initial patient outcome data for the six-minute walk test and the St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire demonstrated evidence of the effectiveness of these pulmonary rehabilitation programs in improving functional exercise capacity and health related quality of life. Providing targeted specific training, the retention of key staff and strong local healthcare organisational support were important factors which contributed to the successful establishment of pulmonary rehabilitation. A study involving interviews with key healthcare professionals involved in the delivery of pulmonary rehabilitation in rural and remote regions was conducted and is presented in Chapter 7. Those healthcare professionals who participated in the BEWE program and who were identified as key informants, were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews. The purpose of the interviews was to gain a deeper understanding of the participants’ attitudes and opinions regarding developing, establishing and delivering pulmonary rehabilitation in rural and remote regions. This study was designed to add perspective to the quantitative data rather than to inform the design of the evaluation process. Interviews occurred at three and 12 months following the BEWE workshop in the remote region and at 12 months following the BEWE workshop in the rural region. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. A process of thematic analysis was used to analyse the transcripts. Healthcare professional staffing levels, time and case load constraints, knowledge and confidence, ensuring sustainability, individual and community attitudes, and practical issues related to the setting, structure and content of pulmonary rehabilitation were identified as the main concerns of informants. The results of this study indicate that dedicated funding to support additional healthcare professional staffing and to assist with providing specific education and training may facilitate the availability and delivery of pulmonary rehabilitation in rural and remote regions. The body of work contained in this thesis has contributed to a greater knowledge of the practice and availability of pulmonary rehabilitation in the Australian rural and remote context and has provided evidence that the provision of a training program for healthcare professionals can facilitate the delivery of effective pulmonary rehabilitation in rural and remote Australian regions.

Abstract:
Pregnant First Nations women who live on reserves in rural and remote regions of Canada are routinely evacuated to urban cities to await labour and birth; this is commonly referred to as Health Canada’s evacuation policy. I produced two stand alone papers to investigate this policy. In the first, I investigated the development and implementation of the Canadian government’s evacuation policy. Archival research showed that the evacuation policy began to take shape in 1892 and was founded on Canada’s goals to assimilate and civilize First Nations. My second paper employed First Nations feminist theory to understand why the evacuation policy does not result in good health, especially for First Nations women. Because the evacuation policy is incongruent with First Nations’ epistemologies, it compromises First Nations’ health. I offer policy recommendations to promote First Nations health in a way that is consistent with First Nations’ epistemologies and goals towards self-determination and self-governance.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to describe the harvesting and dietary practices of two rural and remote Indigenous communities. The ethnographic methods of participant observations and semi-structured interviews availed an abundance of rich and detailed data that allowed for a clear understanding of the barriers these two communities face when accessing food. This is an articled-based thesis containing three parts. Part one is composed of a literature review that describes the barriers that have contributed to food insecurity problems in Indigenous communities. It finishes with a chapter dedicated to defining the postcolonial theoretical perspective and describing how and why it was employed during this research process. The postcolonial perspective was chosen to best understand the historical forces that caused food insecurity in Indigenous communities and justify my position as a non-indigenous researcher in the field of Indigenous health. The second part of the thesis is made up of two articles. Article one will describe the current situation of food access challenges and responses in Canada, more specifically in two rural and remote First Nations communities. The article illustrates how both First Nations are experiencing challenges obtaining healthy food from the market and from the land. The article describes what is involved in acquiring food in both communities, and the responses each community is taking to increase food access. The article concludes by pointing out how these initiatives are building more than just food capacity and why they deserve greater external support. The second article is focused solely in the community of Wapekeka, and is entitled The Cost of Local Food Procurement in One Northern Rural and Remote Indigenous Community. The purpose of the article is to provide a specific example of building local food capacity as strategy to address food insecurity. It documents the costs associated with traditional food procurement and compares these costs against the price of food available in the store. The final component of the thesis is the overall conclusion, highlighting the belief that the findings presented in this thesis will promote and emphasize the importance of land-based food initiatives as a way to foster positive health outcomes for all Indigenous peoples.

Abstract:
This thesis examined police and Indigenous relations in rural and remote contexts in Australia which historically and in contemporary times have often been contentious. Using a grounded theory approach, the police participants of this qualitative research provided insight as to how social factors such as ecological, organizational and occupational culture influenced their responses in discrete Indigenous communities. The findings revealed that ecological factors such as community dynamics and Indigenous culture heavily influenced police in how they responded to situations, more so than the influence of organizational and occupational culture. It found that ecological factors played a large role in shaping policing responses in discrete Indigenous communities.

Abstract:
In recent years, remote work, driven by mobile technology, the availability of the Internet and the spread of COVID-19 limiting work to be done at the workplace, has become increasingly popular. Although it is very easy nowadays to do many kinds of work remotely, many companies still do not want to introduce such practices on a permanent basis. Therefore, the research aims to examine the experience of companies in remote work to identify the economic benefits of remote work as well as develop scenarios for remote work. The research methodology is based on case study analysis, comparative analysis, economic analysis and the scenario method. The results of the research revealed that potential financial savings from applying remote work practices in companies varied, depending on the specifics of the industry and jobs, as well as the funds that the company was initially willing to invest in its employees. For companies, the largest economic savings from applying remote work practices came from maintenance of premises, as well as electricity and Internet bills, while the provision of equipment to their employees accounted for the smallest proportion of preliminary cost savings. However, the main disadvantages of remote work were the difficulty of controlling employees, communicating effectively with each other and ensuring successful teamwork. Companies could introduce part-time work practices if a large proportion of the tasks could be performed remotely, yet only the companies with a high level of automation of tasks might fully switch to remote work.

Abstract:
The study examines literature on remote job design possibilities from distant locations. After the remote job design concept is formed, the premises for the use of remote job design are analysed, the necessary conditions, possibilities, and employees’ willingness to work remotely are explained, summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of remote work. The quantitative research was conducted to reveal out the possibilities of remote job design in Lithuanian companies according to the areas of work in which it is possible, impossible to work remotely or possible to work flexibly. The willingness to do remote jobs was also examined, and the picture of prone to remote job employee by demographic characteristics of the respondents was drawn. The most convenient distant locations, informational and communication technologies (ICT) and addresses of indirect communication were identified. It was found that survey participants are not resistant to work remotely, and it also showed that at least partially remote job could be designed in majority of Lithuanian companies. Most of them prefer flexible mixed variation of remote and traditional work. The main difficulties were named that required high level of self-discipline, but not the lack or deficiencies in using ICT, electronic devices and designing other required conditions for remote job design.

Abstract:
Water tends to flow and accumulate in response to topographical characteristics of local area and gravitational potential energy. Remote sensing data like LiDAR (Light detecting and ranging) or satellite data can be used to identify local depressions where wet areas may occur. The aim of this study was to evaluate methods that can be used to identify wet areas, to determine correlation between topography of the area and forest regeneration and to prepare proposals for forest management that could be usable in Latvia. Study area includes fertile forest land on wet mineral soils and drained mineral soils with planted spruce (Picea abies) and available LiDAR data. Map examples have been made to demonstrate methodology which allows to identify depressions with potentially hindered run-off. Fill sinks algorithm has shown best results in identifying wet areas and correlation with wet areas that were detected in field studies is 62%. TWI index is not suitable for this study because of relatively flat area. Result of this study reveals that wet areas have significant effect on tree species. In depressions, despite the fact that there has been planted spruce, main species are birch (Betula pendula) and black alder (Alnus glutinosa). Wet areas have significant effect on tree height.

Abstract:
Sustainable and economically based forestry needs modern inventory and monitoring techniques. One of the most common technologies for identification of forest tree species and monitoring of forest growth conditions is the hyperspectral remote sensing. This technology gives an opportunity to economize human resources and time for data collecting and processing. The spectral behaviour of plant leaves depends on number of factors, including environmental background. The aim of this study was to assess the tree reflectance spectra in relation to the growth conditions to take into account potential differences for increasing precision of species identification in Latvian forests and for estimating of forest growth conditions. Remote sensing data were obtained using a specialized aircraft (Pilatus PC-6), which is equipped with a high-performance airborne VNIR pushbroom hyperspectral system (AisaEAGLE). The study area was flown at 1000 m altitude. Data was recorded in the 400–970 nm spectral range, spectral resolution was 3.3 nm, ground resolution 0.5 m. Data processing consisted of manually selecting trees with a recognizable tree crowns in the airborne images. Tree centres were adjusted by putting them in the accurate position according to the situation in aerial photography. All trees with a diameter at breast height DBH of more than 5 cm were measured and for each tree coordinates, its species, height, DBH, crown width and length were recorded. Differentially corrected Global Positioning System measurements were used to determine the position of each plot centre. Data from different hyperspectral bands were compared using ANOVA at confidence level 95 %. Four species: Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.), Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst), silver birch (Betula pendula Roth), and European aspen (Populus tremula L.) – were examined in distinct forest site types. The spectral response of studied species was 1) different between species and 2) different between site types within each species, correlating with soil fertility gradient and soil moisture gradient. Differences between species occurred most in the intensity of reflected electromagnetic radiation rather than distinctive locations of maximums or minimums in spectrum curve, and near infrared (NIR) region of spectrum showed more differences between species than visible light zone. Most informative wavebands for distinguishing differences between site types were 805 nm and 644 nm.

Abstract:
Rural schools are usually behind in terms of learning, and part of this could be related to geographical isolation. We explore this hypothesis, assessing the effect of distance between rural schools and local governments on learning in Colombia. We use spatial discontinuous regression models based on detailed administrative records from the education system and granular geographic information. Results indicate that distance to towns and Secretary of Education has significant negative effects on students’ standardized test scores. We evaluated alternative mechanisms, finding that the effect of distance is partly explained by differences in critical educational inputs, such as teachers’ education attainment and contract stability. Finally, we assess the mediating role of a program providing monetary incentives to teachers and principals in remote areas.

Abstract:
Canadians living in rural communities are diverse, with individual communities defined by unique strengths and challenges that impact their health needs. Understanding rural health needs is a complex undertaking, with many challenges pertaining to engagement, research, and policy development. In order to address these challenges, it is imperative to understand the unique characteristics of rural communities as well as to ensure that the voices of rural and remote communities are prioritized in the development and implementation of rural health research programs and policy. Effective community engagement is essential in order to establish rural-normative programs and policies to improve the health of individuals living in rural, remote, and northern communities. This report was informed by a community engagement workshop held in Golden Lake, Ontario in October 2019. Workshop attendees were comprised of residents from communities within the Madawaska Valley, community health care professionals, students and researchers from Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, and international researchers from Australia, Sweden, and Austria. The themes identified throughout the workshop included community strengths and initiatives that are working well, challenges and concerns faced by the community in the context of health, and suggestions to build on strengths and address challenges to improve the health of residents in the Madawaska Valley.
