Community-based organizations (CBOs) represent an important segment of public services vital to the stability of invisible communities that otherwise remain vulnerable. Drawing from over three years of ethnographic fieldwork in a CBO in Santa Ana, California, I undertake an extensive case-study that examines their survival in a hostile funding environment by means of understanding their development, organizational learning and adaptation, social capital and networking and use of innovative sustainability strategies. The struggles this CBO encountered in their pursuit of sustainability speak to their unique aspects of service provision and community development making them an indispensable support structure for low-income immigrant and refugee communities.
I argue that their story of success reveals key principles, tenets and preliminary takeaways that may be useful toward improving the sustainability of organizational frameworks within other CBOs. Additionally, I explore how this CBO struggles to defend its vision of social change against existing conditions within the market environment that impact their success.
With growing interest toward scholarly work in this field, I emphasize the need to approach organizational fieldwork analytically as we engage with and try to understand the complicated social worlds of CBOs. The applied portion of this project resulted in the creation of promotional materials that may be useful toward fund development and historical preservation.

Este artículo estudia el efecto del envejecimiento de los vecinos sobre las organizaciones locales en San Felipe, un barrio de clase media en Lima, Perú. Ilustro el efecto de este fenómeno usando el caso del control del espacio público en el barrio. Para esta investigación realicé observación participante durante un año. Durante ese año observé la dinámica de las asambleas locales, entrevisté a 46 vecinos de distintas características y observé una gran cantidad de situaciones y controversias entre vecinos en los espacios públicos de San Felipe. Encuentro que los adultos-mayores son los que imponen su punto de vista respecto al destino del barrio. Dicho resultado es sorprendente pues los adultos-mayores no son ni el grupo demográficamente más importante, ni el de mayores recursos. Sostengo que ello ocurre porque los adultos-mayores transforman el tiempo (un recurso escaso para los adultos-jóvenes, pero ampliamente disponible para los adultos-mayores) en poder organizacional. Con dicho poder organizacional, los adultos-mayores logran influir en los funcionarios municipales quienes no sólo defienden el punto de vista de los adultos-mayores respecto al espacio público, sino que además lo transforman de acuerdo al mismo.In this article, I study the effect of aging of neighbors on local organizations in San Felipe, a middle-class neighborhood in Lima, Peru. I elaborate on this effect by using the case of the control of public space in the neighborhood. I conducted participant observation during a year. During that year, I observed the dynamics of local organizations’ meetings; I interviewed 46 residents of different characteristics; and I observed a large amount of situations andcontroversies among actors in San Felipe’s public space. I find that senior residents are the ones who impose their point of view about the neighborhood’s fortune. This result is surprising considering that senior residents are neither the most numerous group in the neighborhood, neither the one with higher resources. I claim that that happens because senior residents transform time (a scarce resource for young-adult neighbors, though abundant for the seniorneighbors) into organizational power. With that organizational power, senior residents are able to influence on the municipality’s functionaries who not only defend the discourse of senior residents regarding the use of public space, but also transform it according to this discourse.

Esta dissertação consiste em uma análise, a partir da fenomenologia hermenêutica em seus três momentos: compreensão, interpretação e nova compreensão. Trabalhamos, nesta pesquisa, com o entendimento do fenômeno da revitalização do Bairro do Recife. Sendo assim, temos como objetivo geral estudar o processo de revitalização turística do Bairro do Recife e as consequências na ordenação espacial do mesmo. Primeiramente, a partir da compreensão das fontes secundárias e da análise das entrevistas realizadas com sujeitos que, de alguma forma, puderam nos fornecer informações para que entendêssemos as mudanças ocorridas na ordenação do bairro, mostramos o quanto estes sujeitos tiveram suas rotinas de vida impactadas com a instalação e execução do projeto. Em seguida, utilizando as mesmas fontes, identificamos o fechamento de vários equipamentos que davam suporte à atividade turística no bairro. Desta forma, identificamos a partir dos conceitos de sustentabilidade trazidos por Sachs (2002), das medidas ambientais e do SISTUR trazidos por Beni (2003), algumas falhas que julgamos terem contribuído para a decadência do projeto.This master's thesis consists of an analysis from the hermeneutics phenomenology in its three moments: understanding, interpretation and new understanding. We worked, in this research, with the comprehension of the phenomenon of revitalization of the Recife neighborhood. The main goal is to study the process of touristic revitalization of the Recife neighborhood and the consequences on the spatial organization of it. Initially, from the understanding of the secondary sources and the analysis of the interviews conducted with subjects that, somehow, were able to give us information so that we could conceive the changes in the ordering of the neighborhood, it is shown how much the installation and execution of the project changed and impacted their habits. Then, using the same sources, we identified the shutting of several equipments that supported the touristic activity in the neighborhood. Thus, we tried to identify, from the concept of sustainability presented by Sachs (2002), the environmental measures and the SISTUR presented by Beni (2003), some flaws that we believe helped for the decay of the project.

La thèse se positionne au croisement de la problématique de la publicisation des problèmes sociaux et de celle de la transformation des engagements militants. La recherche entend expliquer, par une double approche locale et internationale, l’essor de la participation associative depuis les années 1970 dans les quartiers populaires urbains situés en périphérie de Paris et de Buenos Aires. La première partie est consacrée à l’analyse des théories politiques du fait associatif et à leur insertion au sein d’une sociologie empirique de la participation associative. La généalogie de la notion de société civile est mise en relation avec l’avènement de la démocratie moderne afin d’inscrire l’essor associatif des dernières décennies dans une perspective historique de longue portée. Notre approche de la participation associative est ensuite explicitée en référence à trois grandes thématiques du fait associatif : le tiers secteur, le capital social et l’engagement militant.La deuxième partie articule la participation associative avec les transformations socio-économiques des classes populaires et le développement des politiques sociales territorialisées. L’analyse d’une association dans le territoire français illustre d’abord les possibilités offertes par la désagrégation du système politique communiste des « banlieues rouges » et l’intervention croissante de l’État dans les quartiers populaires au travers de la politique de la ville. L’étude de l’activité et du fonctionnement de cette association, des années 1980 aux années 2000, met en lumière à la fois la capacité des acteurs à s’auto-organiser en référence à un problème public local et les tensions générées par la relation partenariale avec les pouvoirs publics. En Argentine, les conséquences de la fragilisation de la société salariale sur les formes de sociabilités populaires dans la périphérie urbaine de Buenos Aires sont analysées au travers d’une association qui s’inscrit dans le prolongement du mouvement social des travailleurs au chômage (piqueteros). Le rôle d’intermédiaire des politiques sociales joué par cette association permet de questionner les liens qui unissent ces organisations populaires aux pouvoirs publics et le possible redéploiement des réseaux politiques clientélaires du péronisme.La troisième partie s’attache à analyser la participation associative en relation avec les évolutions des principaux partis politiques des classes populaires et les changements intervenus dans les configurations politiques locales. Dans le cas français, les phénomènes de désengagement communiste et de désarticulation des « organisations satellites » du parti sont intégrés à l’analyse d’une association regroupant d’anciens militants communistes. Les trajectoires de ces militants et le fonctionnement de cette association permettent de cerner les raisons d’un changement dans les formes d’engagement et de s’interroger sur le processus d’autonomisation des associations locales à l’égard des systèmes politiques. Dans le cas argentin, la recomposition des liens entre le parti justicialiste et les classes populaires est questionnée au travers de l’analyse d’une association fondée par des militants péronistes dans le contexte d’un discrédit des institutions politiques. L’adaptation de ces militants politiques à la forme associative illustre les changements dans les modalités d’engagement et permet une réflexion sur la proximité entre les associations locales et les partis politiquesThis thesis is situated at the intersection of two historical phenomena: the publicization of social problems and the transformation of activist commitment. The research undertaken has sought to explain, through an approach that is both local and international in scope, the rise of grassroots volunteering since the 1970s in working-class urban neighborhoods on the periphery of Paris and Buenos Aires. The first part presents an analysis of the various political theories which relate to the voluntary movement, and discusses their place within an empirical sociological study of grassroots volunteering. The intellectual genealogy of the notion of civil society is considered in relation to the appearance of modern democracy, in order to situate the rise of volunteerism in recent decades within a larger historical perspective. Attention is given to the emergence of three characteristic themes: the third sector, social capital, and activism. The second part relates volunteerism to socio-economic transformations within the working class and to the development of social policy at the local community level. The study of grassroots organization in France reveals the importance of possibilities created by the breakdown of the communist political system in certain Paris suburbs (banlieues rouges) along with increased state intervention in working-class neighborhoods through urban policy initiatives. An analysis of the activities and the workings of the grassroots organizations which appeared in these neighborhoods between the 1980s and the 2000s, reveals that these organizations had the capacity to self-organize for the purpose of addressing public problems at a local level, and that tensions resulted from partnership arrangements with local public authorities. In Argentina, consequences of the labor society’s weakening in terms of working-class social solidarity in neighborhoods on the outskirts of Buenos Aires are analyzed through the prism of grassroots organizations operating in the wake of social movements among unemployed workers (piqueteros). The grassroots organization’s role as an intermediary for social policy raises questions concerning the link between these popular movements and public authorities, and the possible redeployment of Peronist corporatism. The third part relates volunteer participation to historical transformations within the principal working-class political parties and to the changes observed in the local political landscape. In France, popular withdrawal from communism and the disassociation of the Party’s former “satellite organizations” are considered through an analysis of a grassroots organization composed primarily of former communist partisans. Their personal trajectories as activists, as well as the workings of their organization, reveal the causes of a change in the operative forms of political commitment and give rise to questions concerning the processes by which these local organizations are made autonomous of political systems. In Argentina, new links emerging between the Justicialist party and the working class are considered through the study of an organization founded by Peronist partisans in a context where political institutions are represented as lacking legitimacy. The adaptation of these political activists to grassroots volunteerism is likewise indicative of changes in the operative forms of political commitment and gives rise to questions concerning the proximity between grassroots organizations and political parties

The Latino paradox of crime suggests that relative to other groups with similar rates of economic disadvantage, Latinos fare a lot better in a wide array of social indices, including the propensity to violence and crime. While previous studies tend to overestimate the role of community members in creating the conditions under which violent crime occurs, very few have examined the direct role of the ‘disorganizing’ or ‘organizing’ factors that result from political turf wars. This study will examine the ways in which the mobilization of resources and organizational infrastructures affect the immigration-crime nexus. In an effort to better understand the Latino paradox associated with crime, this study shall critically examine how organization-based resources affect variations in violent crime rate among Latino neighborhoods in the City of Chicago.

The Bonton and Ideal neighborhoods in Dallas Texas, developed in the early 1900s, experienced physical and social decay throughout the 1980s. Neighborhood organizations and resident activism were vital to the rebirth of the community in the 1990s. Current revitalization efforts taking place there have been a source of contention as the neighborhood continues to overcome inequalities created by decades of racialized city planning initiatives. This thesis focuses on how the structuring structure of whiteness has historically affected, and continues to affect, the neighborhoods of Ideal and Bonton, as well as acts to identify how black residents have navigated their landscape and increased their collective capital through neighborhood activism.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
This dissertation investigates the Dutch policy turn towards more volunteering in neighborhood-based welfare services, and its effects on poorer and wealthier urban neighbourhoods. Over the last two decades, various Western European governments have become more attentive and supportive to citizens’ voluntary organisations in the fields of social cohesion, care and emancipation in the neighbourhood. In the UK, the so-called ‘Big Society’ policy frame has become very influential. Inspired by this example, the Dutch national government has expressed that the Dutch welfare state is to transform into a ‘participation society’.
The dissertation project empirically tests one of the critiques on the Dutch participation society. This critique holds that deprived urban areas have less potential to self-organize welfare services and that, consequently, the level and quality of welfare services will be lower in these neighborhoods than in richer neighborhoods. Therefore it is feared that more support for welfare self-organisation will eventually exacerbate existing social inequality in the city.
The research has consisted of interviews and observations of almost all year-round welfare service providing volunteer groups in four Rotterdam neighbourhoods. This showed that the groups are actually more numerous in the poorer than in the wealthier research neighbourhoods: the deprived areas have twice as many groups. Analysis of all 2014 funding applications to the Rotterdam Resident Initiative fund, also shows that deprived boroughs have more groups than wealthier boroughs. To understand deprived neighbourhoods’ higher number of groups per inhabitant, it proves necessary to look also at self-organization leaders’ motivations for volunteering. My interview data indicate that for many higher educated leaders, volunteering is related to paid work. In the second place, higher educated leaders working in low-income neighbourhoods are quite often ethnic minority volunteers who work to help their own ethnic group. Thirdly, I found that many volunteers are non-working citizens (retired or unemployed) who are motivated by the opportunities for social contact and useful or pleasurable occupation of their leisure time. The motivation perspective helps to explain why more groups were found in the deprived research neighbourhoods: in these areas also more un(der)employed people and ethnic minority communities are present. Furthermore, the research investigates how the socio-economic profile of the neighbourhood influences volunteer groups’ opportunities to acquire material resources they need. It finds that the municipality strongly supports that residents make application to its funding program, especially in the deprived neighbourhoods, but that due to budget cuts this funding is often less generous than before.
Together, the empirical data show that the relatively large number of self-organizations in the lower income research neighborhoods is mostly due to higher activation. It also indicates that the services that are self-organised in Rotterdam’s participation society are often well adapted to local welfare needs. At the same time, this self-organised welfare landscape is quite fragmented along ethnic lines and sometimes also class lines. Furthermore, the supply of welfare services is difficult to supervise or steer for local government. Lastly, even though deprived neighborhoods have relatively more welfare service groups, this is still a very small number in absolute terms, and the losses that come with Rotterdam’s participation society policies are most tangible in these areas. They used to have much more state-funded welfare services than the wealthier areas of the city. The fact that these have been largely scaled down in budget cut operations, impacts residents’ daily life more strongly in the deprived than in the wealthier neighbourhoods.

In order to better understand the effects of condominium conversions, this study explores the nature and extent of the conversion trend, and its social impacts on the Vieux Carré neighborhood. The increasing number of conversions in the Vieux Carré, also known as the French Quarter, has been the focus of recent controversy and has been perceived by many residents as a threat to the viability of the historic district as a neighborhood. Long-term Vieux Carré residents and neighborhood organizations have expressed fears that the converted rental units are being used as short-term rentals to tourists or second homes, which may be contributing to the decline of the neighborhood's residential base.
As a framework for understanding the social impacts of condominium conversions in the Vieux Carré neighborhood, this study includes a review of the literature on neighborhood change, neighborhood health, and neighborhood attachment. Since the issue of condominiums is intertwined with the ongoing research on tourism in this historic district, a review of the literature on condominium conversion, tourism impacts and the Vieux Carré also is included.
In addition, this study contains the results of a mail survey of occupants of converted condominium units in the Vieux Carré. While survey respondents report formal and informal participation in the neighborhood, only half of the occupants (53%) of the converted units consider the Vieux Carré as their primary residence or are registered to vote in New Orleans. Although many condominium residents do exhibit a sense of neighborhood attachment, half are not present in the neighborhood on a full-time basis; therefore, they have limited opportunities to participate politically on behalf of the neighborhood. The findings of the survey suggest the social impacts of the condominium conversion in the Vieux Carré are likely to contribute to the decline of the neighborhood.

Research has long established that racial/ethnic minority residential segregation is related to a variety of social problems, including poor health and health care outcomes. Yet, little research in this area has attempted to tease out the mechanisms underlying this association. Furthermore, within this work, few studies address this relationship for racial/ethnic minority groups outside of the Black/White differences. In this dissertation, I argue that community organizations and service providers in neighborhoods provide important local sites which can improve residents' access to key health-related resources. I put this forward as a mechanism which can link segregation to health and health care outcomes, in that racial/ethnic minority neighborhoods are less likely to have a variety of such establishments compared to their White counterparts. I test this mechanism through a series of three empirical studies. In the first, using a nation-wide health data set combined with metropolitan area measures, I examine the association between racial residential segregation and poor self-rated health. I include the three largest racial/ethnic minority groups in the U.S. - Blacks, Latinos, and Asians. I find that the segregation of each group is related to a greater likelihood of poor self-rated health. However, for Black respondents, this is partially accounted for by economic variables at the metropolitan level, and for Asian respondents, is fully accounted for by recent immigration. In the second study, I analyze the distribution of health-related facilities by segregation status using a nation-wide Census data source. I find that racial residential segregation for Blacks, and to a lesser extent Latinos and Asians, is related to a decrease in the density of such facilities, including food sources, fitness facilities, pharmacies, a number of health care organizations, civic society, and social services. The inclusion of socio-economic indicators removes this effect for most of the health care organization outcomes, across all three groups. In the third and final study, I examine this full pathway using the case of the Phoenix urbanized area. Using a 2013-2014 survey of families about their children's health care utilization combined with area-level Census measures, I test where families are able to obtain care for their children, if any location, in light of what is physically proximate to them in space, and how this may be patterned or constrained by the segregation status of their local neighborhood. I find that Latino and Native American segregation is related to a decreased number of health care facilities. Further, the lack of such facilities is related to a decreased likelihood of families being able to utilize a physician's office as their regular source of care, versus a clinic or health care center. However, for those who do not have a regular source of care, or who utilize an emergency room, this seems to be patterned more by economic considerations, chiefly whether or not the child has health insurance. Further, the distribution of health care organizations also accounts for a sizable portion of the effect of segregation on health care utilization choices. As a whole, this dissertation demonstrates that segregation, for a number of racial/ethnic minority groups, is related to a lower density of a number of health-related organizations, both in a nationwide analysis, as well as through an extended case study of the Phoenix area. Moreover, using the Phoenix case, I find that the lack of such facilities is consequential, and that at least for certain health care providers, patterns where families are able to go for their children's health care needs. This suggests that the distribution of health-related organizations and service providers across communities may serve as an important explanatory mechanism to understand the association between segregation and a variety of health and health care outcomes.

Schools Uniting Neighborhoods (SUN), a collaborative initiative in Multnomah County, Oregon, combines the increasingly popular community school model with an innovative organizational structure to further two key goals: sustainability as an initiative and furthering racial equity. This thesis situates SUN within the context of American public education reform and existing literature on the positive outcomes, organizational structures, and leadership components of community schools. Building on past reviews of SUN and its outcomes, I use results from qualitative interviews with key stakeholders to provide insight into how its organizational structure contributes to the goals of sustainability and racial equity. I discuss the current state of SUN, future directions, and the relevancy of findings to other community schools initiatives and more generally, public education reform efforts.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
Partnerships between government and community-based actors and organizations are considered the hallmark of contemporary governance arrangements for the revitalization and gentrification of economically distressed, inner city areas. This dissertation uses historical, narrative analysis and ethnographic methods to examine the formation, evolution and operation of community-based governance partnerships in the production of gentrifable urban space in the Wynwood neighborhood of Miami, FL between 1970 and 2010. This research is based on more than four years of participant observation, 60 in-depth interviews with respondents recruited through a purposive snowball sample, review of secondary and archival sources, and descriptive, statistical and GIS analysis.
This study examines how different organizations formed in the neighborhood since the 1970s have facilitated the recent gentrification of Wynwood. It reveals specifically how partnerships between neighborhood-based government agencies, nonprofit organizations and real estate developers were constructed to be exclusionary and lead to inequitable economic development outcomes for Wynwood residents. The key factors conditioning these inequalities include both the rationalities of action of the organizations involved and the historical contexts in which their leaders’ thinking and actions were shaped. The historical contexts included the ethnic politics of organizational funding in the 1970s and the “entrepreneurial” turn of community-based economic development and Miami urban politics since the 1980s. Over time neighborhood organizations adopted highly pragmatic rationalities and repertoires of action. By the 2000s when Wynwood experienced unprecedented investment and redevelopment, the pragmatism of community-based organizations led them to become junior partners in governance arrangements and neighborhood activists were unable to directly challenge the inequitable processes and outcomes of gentrification.

This thesis examines two neighborhood emergency preparedness programs:
the Linn-Benton Neighborhood Emergency Training (LB NET) program in Corvallis,
Oregon, U.S.A., and the Women's Neighborhood Networking Program (WNNP) in
Uzhhorod, Ukraine.
In Corvallis, the LB NET began in 1996, in part out of concerns that in a large
disaster the local emergency agencies would not be able to provide immediate service
to all disaster victims. The program encourages the residents in neighborhoods to
work together to become better prepared for natural or other disasters, and to be self-sufficient
for 72 hours following an event. For this study I interviewed the organizers
of 14 neighborhoods between October 2001 and February 2003.
Oregon State University Office of International Research and Development
used the LB NET as a model to develop a project in Uzhhorod funded by U.S.
Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The WNNP was
funded for one year beginning in July 2000, with a one-year extension. The project
included four trips from the U.S. to Uzhhorod: to conduct a needs assessment,
participant selection and initial training; two consulting/mentoring trips; and for the
project finale in April 2002. All project participants and two Ukrainian coordinators
traveled to Corvallis for three weeks training in April 2001. For this study the WNNP participants were interviewed in Corvallis in April 2001 and in Uzhhorod in April 2002.
This thesis examines how the Uzhhorod program evolved from the Corvallis
program, and similarities and differences between the WNNP participants and the
LB NET organizers, including neighborhood demographics, and organizer motivation,
volunteer activities and social networks. In the conclusions section, I discuss
environments where each program might be successfully duplicated.Graduation date: 2004

abstract: This dissertation research examines neighborhood socio-spatial organization at Calixtlahuaca, a Postclassic (1100-1520 AD) urban center in highland Mesoamerica. Neighborhoods are small spatial units where residents interact at a face to face level in the process of daily activities. How were Calixtlahuaca's neighborhoods organized socio-spatially? Were they homogenous or did each neighborhood contain a mixture of different social and economic groups? Calixtlahuaca was a large Aztec-period city-state located in the frontier region between the Tarascan and Triple Alliance empires. As the capital of the Maltazinco polity, administrative, ritual, and economic activities were located here. Four languages, Matlazinca, Mazahua, Otomi, and Nahua, were spoken by the city's inhabitants. The combination of political geography and an unusual urban center provides an opportunity for examining complex neighborhood socio-spatial organization in a Mesoamerican setting. The evidence presented in this dissertation shows that Calixtlahuaca's neighborhoods were socially heterogeneous spaces were residents from multiple social groups and classes coexisted. This further suggests that the cross-cutting ties between neighborhood residents had more impact on influencing certain economic choices than close proximity in residential location. Market areas were the one way that the city was clearly divided spatially into two regions but consumer preferences within the confines of economic resources were similar in both regions. This research employs artifact collections recovered during the Calixtlahuaca Archaeological Project surface survey. The consumption practices of the residents of Calixtlahuaca are used to define membership into several social groups in order to determine the socio-spatial pattern of the city. Economic aspects of city life are examined through the identification of separate market areas that relate to neighborhood patterns. Excavation data was also examined as an alternate line of evidence for each case. The project contributes to the sparse literature on preindustrial urban neighborhoods. Research into social segregation or social clustering in modern cities is plentiful, but few studies examine the patterns of social clustering in the past. Most research in Mesoamerica focuses on the clustering of social class.Dissertation/Thesis

Research report revealed that “Neighborhood Watching Organizations” has different and diversiform functions in the communities. These functions embrace deterring theft to improve communities security, reducing damage and lose through announcing fire alarm, making emergency rescue and urgent repair by specialized training, maintaining environment sanitation and community parks. Although there are multiple functions and benefits in “Neighborhood Watching Organizations”, but there are only twenty-one Neighborhood Watching Organizations among two hundreds and thirty two boroughs in Tainan city. Why there is lowest rate of “Neighborhood Watching Organizations” be established under such perfect system? The questions of this research will study are as below: 1)Why there are only twenty-one boroughs with Neighborhood Watching Organizations among two hundreds and thirty two boroughs in Tainan city? 2)How does the boroughs be established in “Neighborhood Watching Organization”successfully? 3)What is the role of central government, local government and the chief of borough in the establishment of the Neighborhood Watching Organization? According to the Neighborhood Watching Organizations of Tainan city, it offered density of time and frequency of services in making firsthand observations on twenty-one samples. For understanding the situations in different neighborhood, this research will make community survey on the past six months（until the end of April, 2003）by interviewing the chief of borough, chairman of developmental community or captain of Neighborhood Watching Organization. By asking them the elements to find a Neighborhood Watching Organization about the monthly maintenance expenditure and human resource for reference in analyzing in the future. One of main conclusion of thesis is that it has much potential to establish more Neighborhood Watching Organizations in Tainan city, because the remaining two hundreds and eleven chiefs of borough can meet two key requirement as a result of interviewing twenty-one chiefs of borough . The two key requirements include necessary human resourses and monthly maintenance expenditure. As long as the other two hundreds and eleven chiefs of borough are willing to establish it, they will be anytime. The other conclusion in addition to above conclusion include: 1)As long as the chief of borough has strong mind to establish Neighborhood Watching Organization. The latter it will be increased substantially. 2)The chief of borough may make good use of the social relation network to expand the source of monthly maintenance expenditure. 3)The chief of borough expect government play much more positive role. 4)The chief of borough may recruit and make up the number of necessary manpower easily.

Articles in our local research journals on Neighborhood Watch Patrol have focused mainly on its role, importance and how it is operated and established. There has never been any comprehensive study on one single neighborhood watch patrol from its establishment to the termination. In this study, we took an individual case of once a large neighborhood watch patrol which was operated for a period of ten years as a research subject, in an attempt to gather some insights towards its termination. This information would hopefully be helpful in the future in establishing a successfully operating neighborhood watch patrol. This research focused on the following questions: 1) How was the neighborhood watch patrol in Fa-Hua borough, Tainan, established and how did it disintegrate? 2) What role does a chief of borough play during the above period of time? 3) During the process in terminating the neighborhood watch patrol, what role does the interaction between chief of borough, district clerk and Second Police District of Tainan City Police Department play? 4) What was the role of the leading contextual factor in the establishment and termination of the neighborhood watch organization? The research cut in from the view point of leadership theory in understanding the entire neighborhood watch patrol organization, studying the short-term and long-term problems the organization faced and how the leader made decisions on establishing or abolishing a neighborhood watch patrol. Below are a few brief explanations: 1)In a short-term situation: man-power and funding are the two main factors for the establishment of a neighborhood watch patrol. As long as the leader overcomes the problem of finding patrol member and the funding for patrol daily expenses, a neighborhood watch patrol can easily be formed. 2)In a long-term situation: for a continuously operating patrol, besides the problem of man-power and funding, conflicts between patrol members seriously disrupt the operation of patrol and cause the breakdown of the bonding within the organization. Hence the main reason for the demotivation of patrol during a long period of time is poor interaction between patrol members and the funding is the key to the termination of a neighborhood watch patrol.

Social and industrial changes with time have greatly influenced society in Taiwan since the neighborhood watch was started in 1973. Decline of traditional social control and cultural conflicts, paradox, and disorder in society have led to serious crime. Solutions to community problems, said by Master Duke, lies in the community. A nonprofit organization refers exactly to a community, with which a whole-citizen community is created. Neighborhood watch organization is not only merely part of a non-profit organization, but also an important drive to reorganize a community. The promotion of neighborhood watch organization involves resources and integration of tools. IMC offers consistent information to customers and potential customers through the focus on customers. Through three dimensions, the integration of promotion tools, resources and media application, in IMC theories and with an example of neighborhood watch organization, Hsin-chu city, the research explores how non-profit organizations work. In order to understand how neighborhood watch organization is seen by the members, how they are willing to work, and if they are content with the social order, the analysis of data by SPSS is conducted. On the other hand, questionnaire to police officers in charge of promotion of this business shows if there is any outstanding differentiation about the application of IMC theories. Based on the result of questionnaire and interview, suggestions are presented that Hsin-chu city is supposed to build up a database of citizens and related people, take an integrated marketing communication, and create the image of the organization to make IMC. In addition to the possibilities to developing a multi-organization and permanent development, an organization needs to enact the specific marketing strategies. In the performance of this IMC strategy, it also requires much attention with evaluation and modification of marketing strategies. And the result of this study can be referred by the other counties and cities in promoting neighborhood watch.

abstract: Psychological distress occurs at disproportionate rates among minority groups and individuals with lower socioeconomic status. This dissertation focuses on the relationship between living in a disadvantaged neighborhood and distress among Latinos, the formal and informal organizations that mediate the direct and indirect relationship between disadvantage and distress in this population, and the differences of social stress processes based on aspects of Latino social status, linguistic acculturation status, and the percentage of residents in the neighborhood that identify as Latino. This dissertation focuses its investigation on Latinos living in Chicago, specifically asking: In a metropolitan city, can the presence of formal and informal community organizations protect Latinos living in disadvantage neighborhoods from experiencing psychological distress? The findings demonstrate an indirect association between disadvantage and distress though objective disorganization and perception of disorganization. Both the density of community centers and block watch had an indirect protective effect, mediating the relationship between neighborhood disadvantage and distress, but did not decrease the indirect effect of disadvantage on distress through objective or perceptions of disorganization. The results of this dissertation suggest that changes to a neighborhood's environment may decrease population rates of distress in disadvantaged neighborhoods.Dissertation/Thesis

Espeaically in this three townships in the remote districts of Changhua County,whether the operation of the neighborhood inspection group is relative to the local public security : (A) common theft (B) automobile theft (C) drug offenses (D) assault—not caused by traffic accidents. And by analyzing the difference from (A) the members fluctuation (B) the direction of organization’s operation, the author brings up some concrete ideas of the development of the community mutual-helped organization. This study used a qualitative interpretation of the main quantitative and empirical analysis using secondary to illustrate the discussion.In the "quality"part, due to the author is working in Tianjhong Precinct ,who used the these methods on his research : (A) in depth interviews (B) participant observation. By interviewing and practicing, we could realize the actual operation conditions and efficiency. In the "quantity" part, the author used the achievements in investigating and preventing in this four criminal cases, and the achievements we precinct gaving an impetus to the operation of community mutual-helped organizations to analyze during 2006-2010. Hoping by the practical operation of 8 neighborhood inspection group with 549 members in three townships, we could analyzeif the operation of neighborhood inspection group will have benefits to the maintenance of law and order? Or find problems resisting in practical work then to propose conclusions and recommendations. Based on the conclusions of this study and literature analysis, there are some suggestions for all levels of government agencies, police units and future researchers: First,to combine the village organizes with community development associations, in order to reduce the political factors involved in the healthy operation of the local public interest groups. Second, to understand the policy intention,and to promote the security policing meeting which could be the supervisor of community mutual-helped organization. Third, to improve the development of community organizations,and set up a "Commission on the implementation of community policing", so as to actually integrate the multi-diversified resources. Fourth, to stable the development of community mutual-helped organizations,we should integrate the legislature funded grants and community resources , to make the organization work more efficiently, and to improve the life quality of residents. Fifth, the power of people is infinite.If making good use of it,we could let the slogan of "police forces is limited ,but people’s power is infinite" practice concretely. Sixth, continue to personnel recruitment, and protect the interests of the members of community organizations by law.Also, Strengthen the relationships between police and the public, so that we could consolidate the operation of community mutual-helped organizations to achieving the ideal of sustainable development.

Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
City governments across the United States are struggling to keep housing and services affordable for lower-income households as neighborhood conditions improve in previously disinvested areas. Despite considerable fiscal and political constraints, numerous cities are tackling this challenge through policy tools that protect the stock of low-cost housing and support lower-income residents’ ability to remain in place when reinvestment raises the threat of displacement. Drawing on a framework informed by theories of equity planning, the Just City, and redistributive policy action, this study examines how cities are mitigating displacement in neighborhoods at risk of gentrification and analyzes the conditions that motivate, facilitate, and shape their policy responses. Data were collected through an original survey of housing, planning, and community development officials, a systematic review of policy documents, and semi-structured interviews with city officials and community advocates. Through sequential quantitative and qualitative analyses, I show that although city governments possess and are using diverse tools to create more equitable outcomes in neighborhoods at risk of gentrification, their tendency to delay action until market appreciation is advanced, dependence on market-based tools amid fiscal constraint, and need to balance neighborhood-based and city-wide goals weaken their capacity to tackle displacement. This study concludes that proactive approaches that address reinvestment and long-term affordability concurrently would minimize the tensions associated with the timing, form, and scale of intervention. Cities’ demonstrated responsiveness to community organizing suggests one key channel through which such a policy shift could be activated.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)Urban forestry is a very important element of urban structures that can improve the environment and life quality within the urban areas. Having an accurate classification of urban forests and grass areas would help improve focused urban tree planting and urban heat wave mitigation efforts. This research project will compare the use of high – resolution aerial imagery and LiDAR data when used to classify canopy and grass areas. The high – resolution image, with 1 – meter resolution, was captured by The National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) on 6/6/2012. Its coordinate system is the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The LiDAR data, with 1.0 – meter average post spacing, was captured by Indiana Statewide Imagery and LiDAR Program from 03/13/2011 to 04/30/2012.The study area is called the Near East Side Community Organization (NESCO) neighborhood. It is located on the east side of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. Its boundaries are: 65 interstate, East Massachusetts Avenue, East 21st Street, North Emerson Avenue, and the rail road tracks on the south of the East Washington Street. This research will also perform the accuracy assessment based on the results of classifications using high – resolution aerial imagery and LiDAR data in order to determine and explain which method is more accurate to classify urban canopy and grass areas.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)Communities are currently being shaped and influenced by larger neoliberal social policies, which has resulted in decreased funding from public sources, which therefore creates greater competition among neighborhood organizations for limited resources. In this thesis, I analyze how larger neoliberal currents have created conflict within the local policy subsystem of rezoning in the Crooked Creek neighborhood in Indianapolis. My analysis spotlights the consequences of devolution one of which is the shift from government to neighborhood governance; I examine these issues by mapping out the causes and consequences of three separate rezoning cases. I compare the conflicting perspectives among local influential organizations, including the Community Development Corporation (CDC) and a number of state registered neighborhood groups. I frame this conflict through the Advocacy Coalition Framework (Sabatier 2007) in order to map out the connections between neoliberal social policies and local level conflict.

Since 1984 the researcher has been serving the City of Taipei in the civil affairs system and has been in frequent contact with borough/neighborhood administrators, witnessing the growth and tireless services of numerous borough administrators and admiring how citizens of post-modernization Taipei became increasing demanding on the city government. Community development associations turned from community boards of directors into corporations; under the direction of Council for Cultural Affairs the efforts of total community development significantly influenced boroughs and neighborhoods. After 1995 the researcher also observed the development of condo organizations. These changes impacted operations of borough/neighborhood organizations and woke borough/neighborhood administrators to the needs of their communities. Freed from the conventional administrative framework, they learned about software development and municipal ability of boroughs and neighborhoods from community organizations. In the mighty flow of total community development they learned how to care for and manage borough/neighborhood communities. At a time when our communities are pact with condos, they haven’t really been able to hit the target, however. In the age of information and media, people no longer have the patience for gradual changes in borough/neighborhood organizations. They want to know how their borough/neighborhood organizations function right away. The fact that the existence of boroughs and neighborhoods is mostly about insignificant services makes it impossible to describe or verify the functions of borough/neighborhood organizations and administrators. As a result the general public is often skeptical and curious about borough/neighborhood organizations, and demands beyond the power of borough/neighborhood organizations are often submitted to add to the misunderstanding and frustration. Today we are dealing with a society that is well versed in citizenship. Its ability to monitor the city government has been greatly enhanced, and it is now demanding that government agencies play their roles right and unveil the operations of borough/neighborhood organizations so they will function openly in the sun. Local government laws have been very specific about the operations of agencies beyond borough/neighborhood levels. But when it comes to fundamental issues that significantly affect our daily lives, there have been only general guidelines on borough/neighborhood, borough offices, borough residents’ meetings and grassroots development seminars. It’s obvious that the central government has not been able to come up with a comprehensive plan for local systems. So the researcher takes on the subject of Organization & Operation of Taipei City’s Boroughs & Neighborhoods and studies related rules and regulations and current conditions in an attempt to show evolution and self-adjustment of borough/neighborhood administration, as well as the value of boroughs and neighborhoods. Through this study the researcher also identifies ways to help boroughs and neighborhoods grow. Research outcomes indicate the qualitative changes Taipei City’s boroughs and neighborhoods went through as a result of internal structural shifting, staffing adequacy and staff participation, as well as different budget distributions; the cyclic feedback effects generated out of their interactions with other grassroots organizations such as communication development associations and condo management boards; and government agencies’ cooperation and support have been input into the open system, through which the data are transformed and output to help attain the organizational goals. The energy generated out of the organization’s automatic operation not only completes the core administrative missions but also gives full play to its capacity as a municipal unit. This is different from other cities/counties’ borough/neighborhood organization. The accompanying political function also contributes to basic developments and services of boroughs and neighborhoods. It is discovered that in response to social trends and demands of the time, Taipei City’s boroughs and neighborhoods have gone through self-adjustment and developed a work method for reconciling local opinions, furthering local development and encouraging community projects, in order to make up for inadequate legislative provisions and positioning. Today Taipei City’s boroughs and neighborhoods function in accordance with government chain of command. Orders of supervising agencies are carried out by borough/neighborhood staffs. Borough administrators are in charge of municipal functions fashioned after community projects. When a borough administrator refuses to carry out orders given by the district office in accordance with policy requirements, the task will be completed by borough staffs in conjunction with neighborhood administrators and volunteers. Taipei City’s boroughs and neighborhoods accomplish their organizational goals through the 3 operational modes mentioned above. The operational mode of grassroots organizations is going through the teething stage. It requires assistance from government agencies. Only through necessary technical guidance and supports will all borough/neighborhood organizations of Taipei grow together into maturity. It will help strengthen grassroots organizations. The central/local government and citizens will also benefit from it. This study proposes 5 recommendations for the government. 1. Neighborhood administrators and neighborhood organizations are to be separated. Each borough is to be divided into several segments for election of directors. The system of board of directors is to be gradually instituted to strengthen the function of borough/neighborhood meetings and help keep the decisions objective. 2. Turn “condo and community safety taskforce” into “borough/neighborhood organization communication meeting” to help maintain horizontal communication of grassroots organizations and integrate local opinions. 3. The position of borough staffs is to be downsized. Some will function as district staffs and the rest will be incorporated into different departments of the district office to remove staffing inadequacy of the district office. Borough administrators will have to handle borough/neighborhood affairs by themselves. 4. Borough/neighborhood volunteers are to be regulated by the Volunteer’s Act. They shall be entitled to basic benefits and protection. This is to be done for effective utilization of immense human resources of the private sector. 5. Establish responsible agencies to supervise, use and manage subsidies set aside for boroughs/neighborhoods for enhancing budget efficiency.

Stillman, Jennifer Burns. "Tipping in: School integration in gentrifying neighborhoods." Thesis, 2011. https://doi.org/10.7916/D8FT8T09.
Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
The purpose of this study is to examine the school choice process of Gentry Parents --white, middle and upper-middle class, highly-educated parents living in gentrifying neighborhoods -- to determine how, through the compounding effect of their many individual choices, a segregated urban school in a gentrifying neighborhood is able to transform into an integrated school, a process I call "tipping in." This study uses data from 52 formal interviews of Gentry Parents in three different gentrifying/gentrified neighborhoods in New York City, and data from dozens of informal interviews and observations of Gentry Parents on playgrounds, school tours, and in pre-school cubby rooms. This study found that tipping in happens through the actions and reactions of different types of Gentry Parents: Innovator and Early Adopter Gentry Parents who are willing to be the first of their peer group to enroll their child in a segregated school, and Early Majority and Late Majority Gentry Parents who will only enroll their children in a school once their peers have gone in and done the hard work of changing the culture of the school to feel "middle class." After the Innovators, each subsequent wave of Gentry Parents will only enroll their children in a school if the prior wave keeps their children enrolled. This study suggests that Gentry Parents often take their children out of a school during the tipping in process, making retention of gentry children as important to tipping in as attracting them in the first place. Attracting gentry children appears to be difficult because Gentry Parents primarily prefer schools that are diverse and progressive, attributes not typically found in segregated urban schools. Retaining gentry children appears to be difficult primarily because Gentry Parent school expectations often do not match the reality of an integrating school, and principals are described as struggling to manage the culture gap that reportedly exists between Gentry Parents and non-Gentry Parents.

The question of what effect formal structures of neighborhood organizations have on member involvement has largely been ignored in the body of research on neighborhood politics. Yet mandatory and voluntary neighborhood organizations have proliferated in recent years, motivating this research to address the gap in the extant literature. Findings based upon 164 neighborhood organizations surveyed in Houston, Texas, indicate that mandatory organizations are stronger than voluntary organizations in terms of financial capability, bureaucratization, member size and percent of neighborhoods formally represented, while voluntary organization structures are more democratic. Furthermore, the analysis supports the contention that decentralized participation structures and change oriented purposes and incentive structures significantly increase the proportion of members involved in the activities of the neighborhood organizations surveyed.

Research on organizational commitment in work settings is unclear about its generalization to broader environments; sense of place is typically measured to capture belonging and identification in communities. Whether the constructs of organizational commitment and sense of place are perceived distinctly by neighbourhood residents was investigated. Based on associations between natural design content and prosocial outcomes, it was hypothesized that individuals living in neighbourhoods with numerous green attributes would experience more organizational commitment to their community, as well as a stronger sense of place. Although participants did not perceive organizational commitment and sense of place distinctly, organizational commitment significantly correlated with the number of green features in a neighbourhood. However, sense of place and the degree of greenness in a neighbourhood were not related. This may be because these two constructs are closely related but not identical. Findings highlight the value of studying organizational commitment and sense of place when addressing neighbourhood research.Graduate

Many studies show that entrepreneurship plays a vital role in sustaining valuable resources that are necessary for community development. The current study adds to previous research by identifying factors that are related to self-reliance and lower crime. I analyze data from the 1991 National Race and Politics Study, which explored attitudes on various issues related to community development and politics. My findings indicate that jobs, more say in government decisions, and hard work are significantly related to self-reliance, while small business, neighborhood organizations, care for the homeless and job training are significantly related to lower crime. These results support the work of previous researchers by showing that crime and neighborhood organizations play important roles in community development. The study goes a step further to identify additional attitudinal variables that are related to self-reliance and lower crime. These results should assist policy makers in determining what factors may help revitalize urban communities that suffer from high levels of unemployment and crime.text

Human mobility, or migration, has been a constant throughout history. Over the past decades, however, the reasons for migration, the kinds of people who migrate, and the places where they settle have greatly diversified. Lisbon has also experienced this diversification of migration. Historically, migrant communities in Portugal were formed mostly by economic migrants from Eastern Europe and those from former Portuguese colonies. Today, they are joined by entrepreneurs, those who choose to live in Portugal because of its climate, food, or culture, and other (generally more affluent) groups of people. These groups often do not interact with each other or the ‘locals’, as is also the case in Berlin and other European cities. This project aimed to study this ‘migrant landscape’ of Lisbon through interviewing local organizations which come in contact with migrants. A survey of migrants was also conducted, as well as event observations in Lisbon and a study visit to Give Something Back to Berlin, a German NGO working on community building and migrant inclusion through active volunteer involvement. Aside from studying similarities and differences between Berlin and Lisbon, this project aimed to identify existing good practices and gaps in the field. Five main themes identified through the research process were: (1) Lack of coordination between different actors; (2) Image of Lisbon as a place of tolerance; (3) Exclusiveness of events which are supposed to be inclusive; (4) Lack of Portuguese language teaching provision; and (5) Enthusiasm towards volunteer recruitment, matching, and management. Based on these themes, four interventions were proposed: (1) Portuguese language classes; (2) An event series providing a platform for migrant voices; (3) An online volunteer matching program; and (4) Establishment of an association to coordinate the aforementioned activities. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the interventions could not be implemented in practice, but there are plans to do so in the future. The research conducted for this project provides a thorough, in-depth basis for the implementation. The research also resulted in a comprehensive table of organizations working with migrants, which will be useful for future collaborations. Finally, this report also provides an overview of all relevant theoretical concepts, including migration and its types, diversity, transnationalism, integration, neighborhood, social cohesion, and solidarity.A mobilidade humana, ou migração, tem sido uma constante ao longo da história. No entanto, nas últimas décadas, as razões por detrás da migração, os tipos de pessoas que migram, e os lugares onde estas se instalam têm-se diversificado consideravelmente. Lisboa também tem experienciado esta diversificação da migração. Historicamente, as comunidades migrantes em Portugal eram formadas maioritariamente por migrantes económicos da Europa de Leste e migrantes das antigas colónias portuguesas. Hoje, estes migrantes são acompanhados por empreendedores, por quem escolhe viver em Portugal devido ao clima, à comida, ou à cultura, e por outros grupos de pessoas (geralmente mais abastadas). Estes grupos muitas vezes não interagem entre si ou com os 'locais', tal como acontece em Berlim e noutras cidades europeias. Este projeto visou estudar esta 'paisagem migrante' lisboeta entrevistando organizações locais que têm contacto com migrantes. Foram também realizados um inquérito a migrantes, observações de eventos em Lisboa e uma visita de estudo a Give Something Back to Berlin, uma ONG alemã trabalhando na área de estabelecimento de comunidades e inclusão de migrantes através do envolvimento ativo de voluntários. Para além de estudar semelhanças e diferenças entre Berlim e Lisboa, este projeto visou identificar boas práticas e lacunas existentes no campo. Foram identificados cinco principais temas: (1) Falta de coordenação entre atores diferentes; (2) Imagem de Lisboa como um lugar de tolerância; (3) Exclusividade de eventos que deviam ser inclusivos; (4) Falta de fornecimento de ensino da língua portuguesa; e (5) Entusiasmo em relação ao recrutamento, à alocação, e à gestão de voluntários. Tendo por base estes temas, foram propostas quatro intervenções: (1) Aulas de língua portuguesa; (2) Uma série de eventos dando uma plataforma a vozes migrantes; (3) Um programa de alocação de voluntários; e (4) A criação de uma associação para coordenar as atividades propostas. Devido à pandemia COVID-19, as intervenções não puderam ser implementadas na prática, mas há planos para fazê-lo no futuro. A investigação realizada para este projeto fornece uma base rigorosa e aprofundada para a implementação das atividades propostas. Da investigação resultou também uma tabela compreensiva de organizações que trabalham com migrantes, que será útil para colaborações futuras. Finalmente, este relatório fornece também uma panorâmica de todos os conceitos teóricos relevantes, incluindo migração e seus tipos, diversidade, transnacionalismo, integração, bairro, coesão social, e solidariedade.

This dissertation is devoted to exploring Armenian Üsküdar (an Anatolian side municipality of Istanbul) and its surroundings within the lenses of “conviviality” as conceptualized by Freitag (2014). Armenian neighborhoods in Üsküdar had all its relevance within the Ottoman rule in Constantinople, and throughout the Republican period, gradually dissolved to the extent that the notion of Üsküdar Armenians make little to no sense today. In this dissertation, the Armenian neighborhoods with its public spaces: streets, theatres, music halls, taverns; and community spaces: churches and schools will be reconstructed. It will demonstrate how Armenian Üsküdar spatially integrated into the larger geography. Although divided by orchards, large roads and cemeteries, this study will also illustrate how Üsküdar Armenian neighborhoods seem to have been compact, as if isolated from the rest. The spatial, political and social parameters that contributed to the Armenian’s dominant position will be contextualized in the three neighborhoods: Yeni Mahalle, Selamsız and İcadiye. Moreover, I will demonstrate how the center of gravity in the Armenian Üsküdar had shifted initially from Yeni Mahalle to Selamsız, and then in the late 19th century to İcadiye. By doing so, this study traces spatial imprints of the transformation of the power structure within the Armenian community, a major shift of the power from traditional aristocratic elite with ties to the Ottoman government, solidifying in Selamsız; to the modern elite gradually but powerfully flourishing in İcadiye.

Ce mémoire de maitrise explore l’hétérogénéité et la diversité dans le Village de Montréal. Il s’intéresse à ce quartier au-delà de ce que sa vitrine commerciale laisse voir. Ses lieux de sortie et de rencontres, tout comme ses autres commerces et ses tissus résidentiel et communautaires, ne seraient pas des blocs homogènes, mais des mosaïques qui sont investies par une multitude de personnes, de groupes et de communautés. Ceux-ci, dépendamment de leurs trajectoires et de leurs parcours, ont des perceptions et des vécus forts différents les uns des autres des mêmes lieux, d’une part, et du Village dans son ensemble, d’autre part. Sur la base d’une analyse documentaire et de six (6) entrevues menées auprès de personnes qui fréquentent les milieux communautaires et activistes LGBTQ, ce mémoire révèle les multiples stratégies et manières d’occuper l’espace urbain dans le Village, et les réseaux et les lieux où s’observe cette diversité.This Master’s thesis explores the diversity and heterogeneity of space within Montréal’s (gay) Village. It seeks to analyze this neighborhood beyond what its ‘commercial showcase’ might reveal at first sight. The Village’s bars and clubs, as well as its shops, community organizations and sociodemographic composition, are not thought as homogeneous, but rather mosaics of multiple people, groups and communities across space. These latter, depending on their trajectories and routes, often have different perceptions and experiences of a single place or of the Village as a whole. Based on a document analysis and interviews with six (6) LGBTQ activists, this thesis reveals multiple strategies and ways to engage space, as well as the networks and spaces within Montreal’s Village where this diversity can be experienced.

Daniluk, Aleksandra. "Unia Europejska w polityce zagranicznej Republiki Białoruś." Doctoral thesis, 2017. https://depotuw.ceon.pl/handle/item/2639.
Повний текст джерелаАнотація:
W toku prowadzonej w rozprawie analizy próbowano wypełnić następujące zadania badawcze: (1) scharakteryzować determinanty i kierunki polityki zagranicznej Republiki Białoruś; (2) zbadać miejsce Unii Europejskiej wśród kierunków i priorytetów białoruskiej polityki zagranicznej; (3) zbadać przyczyny zmienności w relacjach Białorusi z Unią Europejską, (4) ocenić istnienie zbieżności interesów obu podmiotów; (5) ocenić perspektywy współpracy obu podmiotów. Główna hipoteza rozprawy brzmi: Unia Europejska nie odgrywa w praktycznym działaniu znaczącej roli w polityce zagranicznej Republiki Białoruś, choć stanowi jeden z ważniejszych wektorów w założeniach i koncepcjach jej polityki. W sferze funkcjonalnej polityka zagraniczna Republiki Białoruś przekłada się na intensywny rozwój wschodniego kierunku działań zewnętrznych państwa białoruskiego. Istotny w tym kontekście jest fakt, że dotychczasowa polityka Unii Europejskiej w relacjach z Republiką Białoruś, oparta na krytycznym dialogu nie przyniosła zakładanych rezultatów a jedynie zniechęciła państwo białoruskie do pogłębiania współpracy. Polityka wielowektorowości Republiki Białoruś ogranicza się do próby kształtowania suwerenności przy znaczącej asymetrii pomiędzy potencjałem państwa białoruskiego w wymiarze politycznym, gospodarczym i wojskowym, a jego możliwościami. Ponadto przynależność Białorusi do wschodnich struktur integracyjnych ma decydujący wpływ na jej relacje z Unią Europejską. W pracy sformułowano również cztery hipotezy dodatkowe, stanowiące uszczegółowienie hipotezy głównej: Hipoteza 1. Niewielkie znaczenie Unii Europejskiej w polityce zagranicznej Republiki Białoruś jest uwarunkowane interesami narodowymi państwa białoruskiego, ukształtowanymi przez historię, czynnik ustrojowy, geopolityczny i ekonomiczny; Hipoteza 2. Odmienne postrzeganie podstaw współpracy przez Białoruś i Unię Europejską w znaczącym stopniu determinuje cykliczność ich wzajemnych relacji; Hipoteza 3. Białoruś poprzez uczestnictwo w programie Partnerstwa Wschodniego stwarza możliwość realizacji europejskiej drogi rozwoju w wymiarze ekonomicznym, co może mieć istotny wpływ na kształtowanie stabilności, bezpieczeństwa i rozwoju w regionie Europy Wschodniej; Hipoteza 4. Przyszły stan stosunków Unii Europejskiej i Republiki Białoruś będzie zależny nie tylko od wyboru strategii rozwoju państwa białoruskiego oraz kierunku jego przemian ustrojowych, ale także od oddziaływania środowiska międzynarodowego, w którym znaczącą rolę odgrywają Federacja Rosyjska i NATO. Weryfikacji powyższych hipotez dokonano na przestrzeni pięciu rozdziałów. W rozdziale pierwszym, analizie poddano: uwarunkowania historyczne, ustrojowe, geopolityczne oraz ekonomiczne. Istotnym elementem był również kontekst Rosji w działaniach zewnętrznych Białorusi. W drugim rozdziale przedstawiono prawno-polityczny i ekonomiczny wymiar stosunków Republiki Białoruś z Unią Europejską. Przeanalizowano programy unijnych działań zewnętrznych, adresowane do państw Europy Wschodniej (w tym Białorusi) oraz przedstawiono ewolucję stosunków białorusko-unijnych od początku lat 90. do bieżących wydarzeń w XXI wieku. Całość rozważań dopełnił ekonomiczny wymiar dwustronnych relacji obu podmiotów. Rozdział trzeci poświęcony został roli i miejscu Białorusi w programie Partnerstwa Wschodniego. Przeanalizowano w nim aktywność państwa białoruskiego w multilateralnym i bilateralnym wymiarze programu oraz podjęto próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie w jakim zakresie obecność Białorusi w Partnerstwie Wschodnim wpływa na możliwość realizacji przez nią europejskiej drogi rozwoju. W rozdziale czwartym zaprezentowano praktyczny wymiar stosunków białorusko-unijnych, wyrażający się w realizacji konkretnych projektów, finansowanych z unijnego budżetu w ramach programów przewidzianych w Europejskiej Polityce Sąsiedztwa i Partnerstwie Wschodnim. W rozdziale piątym zaprezentowano trzy scenariusze przyszłych relacji Białorusi z Unią Europejską: stagnacyjny, regresywny i progresywny.During the analysis, the following research tasks were attempted: (1) to characterize the determinants and directions of the foreign policy of the Republic of Belarus; (2) examine the European Union's position among the directions and priorities of Belarusian foreign policy; (3) identify the causes of variation in Belarusian relations with the European Union, (4) assess the existence of convergence of the interests of both entities; (5) assess the future prospects for cooperation between this two entities.The main hypothesis of the dissertation is: The European Union does not play a significant role in the foreign policy of the Republic of Belarus, although it is one of the most important vectors in its policy assumptions. In the functional sphere, the foreign policy of the Republic of Belarus translates into the intensive development of the eastern direction of external actions of the Belarusian state. It is important, that the current policy of the European Union on the Republic of Belarus based on critical dialogue, did not bring the expected results, but only discouraged the Belarusian state from deepening cooperation. Multi-vector policy of the Republic of Belarus is limited to attempt to establish sovereignty during significant asymmetry between the political, economic and military potential of the Belarusian state and its capabilities. Moreover, Belarusian membership in the integration structures of Eastern Europe has a decisive influence on its relations with the European Union.In the dissertation have been formulated four additional hypotheses, to clarify the main hypothesis: Hypothesis 1. The minor importance of the European Union in the foreign policy of the Republic of Belarus is conditioned by the national interests of the Belarusian state, influenced by history, political, geopolitical and economic factors; Hypothesis 2. The different perception of the basis for cooperation of Belarus and the European Union significantly determines the cyclicality of their relations; Hypothesis 3. By participating in the Eastern Partnership program, Belarus is able to realize the European economic development path, which can have a significant influence on building stability, security and development in Eastern Europe; Hypothesis 4. The future state of relations between the European Union and the Republic of Belarus will depend not only on the state development strategy, chosen by the Belarusian authorities and on direction of political transformation of the state, but also on the international environment, where the Russian Federation and NATO play a significant role.The dissertation is divided to five chapters. The first chapter focused on historical determinants, legal and constitutional conditions, geopolitical determinants and the economic conditions. An important element was also the context of Russia in external actions of Belarus. The second chapter focused on the legal, political and economic dimension of the relations between Belarus and the EU. The analysis included: EU external action programs addressed to Eastern European countries, the evolution of political Belarusian-EU relations from the early 1990s to current events in the 21st century and the main aspects of bilateral economic cooperation between this two actors. The analysis in the third chapter included: the presence and activity of the Belarusian state in the multilateral and bilateral dimension of the program and an attempt to answer the question how the participation of Belarus in the Eastern Partnership programme, enables realizing by this country the European development path. The analysis in the fourth chapter included realization of concrete projects financed by the EU budget under the programmes of the European Neighborhood Policy and Eastern Partnership. The fifth chapter focused on perspectives of future relations between Belarus and European Union. The analysis included three scenarios: stagnant, regressive and progressive.
