Signed: Heather Joy Percey Date: 15th October 2013 ii Community process modelling and rural community development Abstract Community development (CD) has been demonstrated to effectively deliver sought-after benefits towards improved economic, social, physical and psychological wellbeing. CD in rural areas is thus an important response to the change pressures in rural communities. Millions of dollars are spent annually on rural community development (RCD) activities. Yet CD is complex with many interacting variables and these dynamic processes are particularly visible in rural communities. RCD can have unintended (positive and negative) consequences upon the interwoven dynamics of the fabric of rural communities, independent of whether or not project objectives are achieved. A greater theoretical understanding of these processes is needed to better manage RCD outcomes and side effects. Such theoretical understanding is currently lacking in CD literature. The purpose of this study was to use a grounded theory approach to generate a theoretical understanding of how RCD implementation processes interact with and affect the fabric of a community. Open interviews with twenty participants across three different RCD projects and rural sites were the key data source, contextualised by observation and written documentation. Based on differing aetiologies, the study identified three types of community associated with and including the rural community: feature, interest and cause based. It was found that a multiplicity of these communities acted as constituents of each rural community, being part of, yet separate to the rural community. In coexisting, they were constituted by and subject to boundary processes. Literature describes such boundary processes in terms of differentiation and symbolic expression. This study identified additional processes of agendas, alignment and non-alignment. RCD involved establishing and managing a further cause based constituent community amongst existing constituent communities and within the rural community. RCD projects were subject to boundary processes in creating their community identity, as well as in their interaction with other communities whilst pursuing project objectives. The study found that the often conflated concepts iii Community process modelling and rural community development Abstract of community ownership and support were also distinct processes with different roles in RCD. How all these processes were managed affected both the rural community fabric and the success of projects. The thesis develops a theoretical model which will contribute to understanding and managing community processes and RCD for theorists and practitioners alike. Due to sample limitations, further research is needed to establish the extent to which the model can be extrapolated to other settings. iv Community process modelling and rural community development Content Completing this thesis has been a long journey which has not been traversed alone. It has been a privilege to have the supervision of Dr Peter Orpin throughout the entire journey, challenging and encouraging me along the way. There has also been the guidance of supervisors, Associate Professor Rosalind Bull in the early stages of my candidate, Dr Christine Stirling at the beginning of my write-up, and Dr Tony Barnett as the thesis chapters took shape. This research would not have been possible without the time willingly and generously given by the rural community members who participated. The support and interest of my friends and family has also been important throughout the journey. v Community process modelling and rural community development Content Contents Chapter 1: Introduction – Research orientation and motivation 1: 1.

  • The Counter Globalisation Movement As Multitude –
    Hope and Abundance: The counter globalisation movement as multitude – breaking the logic of pathological modernity By James Arvanitakis A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of Doctor of Philosophy School of History of Philosophy and Science University of New South Wales, 2006 ORIGINALITY STATEMENT ‘I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and to the best of my knowledge it contains no materials previously published or written by another person, or substantial proportions of material which have been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at UNSW or any other educational institution, except where due acknowledgement is made in the thesis. Any contribution made to the research by others, with whom I have worked at UNSW or elsewhere, is explicitly acknowledged in the thesis. I also declare that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work, except to the extent that assistance from others in the project's design and conception or in style, presentation and linguistic expression is acknowledged.’ Signed ……………………………………………........................... ii Abstract Using the theoretical work of Hardt and Negri’s Empire and Beck’s Risk Society, I define current experiences of modernity as ‘pathological’. The term ‘pathological modernity’ is used because it portrays a modernity dominated by ‘spirals of crisis’ that are aggravated by the solutions proposed to solve them. Like the ‘war on terror’ and environmental degradation, I argue that many crises facing the world today reflect the characteristics of capital as they globalised, branded, hybridised, boundless and endless. ‘Pathological modernity’ has various dimensions including a Cartesian logic underscored by an ‘eternal truth’, free-market fundamentalism, certainty in decision making, and a scientism which believes all challenges can be overcome.

  • Who's Got the Biggest Cume of All? Swift Closes
    June 7, 2010 Issue 195 Who’s Got The Biggest Cume Of All? Country programmers and sales staffs have been absolutely giddy in recent years as they’ve watched cumes for most Country radio stations double once Arbitron’s PPM becomes currency in a market and replaces the diary. (We’ll fight over TSL’s plunge from diary to PPM another time.) Prior to PPM’s arrival, no Country outlet had ever cracked the one million listener barrier. Only a handful of stations exceeded 500,000 cumers. Now this format boasts four or five stations at one million plus on a regular basis, with another handful posting audience levels in excess of 900,000. The exuberance is, of course, tempered by the fact that all of the other format cumes have ballooned as well. Proving that size does indeed matter, the top 23 cuming stations in America are in either New York or Los Angeles.

  • “We Will Stay Here Forever”
    “We will stay here forever” A sense of belonging in landmine affected territories of Nagorno-Karabakh Pia Ferner “We will stay here forever” A sense of belonging in landmine affected territories of Nagorno-Karabakh January 2016 Pia Ferner Master International Development Studies Disaster Studies (SDC) SDC-80733 Supervisor: Gemma van der Haar Abstract The aim of this thesis is to gain insight into reasons why Karabakh Armenian settlers choose to settle and live in landmine affected areas of Nagorno-Karabakh, in the South Caucasus. War in the region has ceased in 1994 and enabled Karabakh Armenians to live in the contested territories, now characterized by frozen conflict, despite a continued presence of landmines. I applied an ethnographic research approach to explore meaning making processes of local settlers on their living situation and their readings of landmines. The village of Karegah served as main location for in-depth research and qualitative interviews. A theoretical exploration of the framing on landmines provides basis for a discussion of local settlers perception of landmines and how this relates to humanitarian framings. Theoretical notions of identity and belonging are further explored as aspects that turned out to be of particular relevance for Karabakh Armenians in their accounts of reading and coping with landmines in their living environment. It becomes clear that perceptions of risk are not taking place outside of identity narratives. Risks emanating from landmine contamination tend to be seen as low concern, instead highlighting the importance of Armenian settlers local presence, ascribing further meaning to territory. These findings gain significance in the broader context of conflict resolution.
