  • Urban Planning and the Concept of Community a Case Study of Los Angeles from 1960 to 2000
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Urban Planning and the Concept of Community A case study of Los Angeles from 1960 to 2000 A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Urban and Regional Planning by Louis Jacques Maxime Monteils 2017 © Copyright by Louis Jacques Maxime Monteils 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Urban Planning and the Concept of Community A case study of Los Angeles from 1960 to 2000 by Louis Jacques Maxime Monteils Masters of Urban and Regional Planning University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Leobardo F. Estrada, Chair This thesis examines the concept of community and provides an overview of how it was interpreted and used by planners in Los Angeles, from the middle of the 20th century to the present. First, I study how the concept of community emerged in sociology, by setting it in historical moments during which both social sciences, society and the city changed importantly. Second, I review the evolution of urban planning practices in Los Angeles from the 1960s to the 1990s. To do so, I provide a critical interpretation of archive (plans, correspondence, and other documents) and newspaper articles, and I highlight how the practice of planning was related to political ideas and ideals about “communities”. I conclude by suggesting how social sciences influenced planners, and how urban planners still envision the city through the prism of “communities” today. ii The thesis of Louis Jacques Maxime Monteils is approved. Ananya Roy Karida Brown Leobardo F. Estrada, Committee Chair University of California, Los Angeles 2017 iii This project was supported by a grant from UCLA’s Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies.

    FREE INQUIRY IN CREATIVE SOCIOLOGY Volume 39, Number 1, Spring 2011 SOCIAL SHEPHERDING AND MORAL NETS AS FOUND IN SOME NOVELS BY FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY, JAMES A. MICHENER, GEORGE ORWELL, B. F. SKINNER, AND C. S. FORESTER Ralph G. O'Sullivan Chillicothe, IL Abstract This article uses selected passages from the Old and New Testaments to illustrate the common presence of good shepherd and moral net themes in some of the novels by Fyodor Dostoevsky, James A. Michener, George Orwell, B.F. Skinner, and C.S. Forester. Traditional sociology texts and classroom lectures rightly address such topics as normal parts of social life, but usually objectively; novelists do the same, yet with much more passion. While no "a-ha" moments, statistical data, or tests of hypotheses are offered , here, students of sociology are encouraged to follow Ogburn's advice to go '' outside traditional boundaries and sources of knowledge to find sociology and have fun doing so, because the stable templates of social organization are there to be found and made available to others. INTRODUCTION A theologically-based reference to the good shepherd is found in New Sheep are often portrayed as Testament readings, specifically the being stupid animals, incapable of Gospels of Matthew 18:10, Luke awareness, self-direction and self- 15:3-7, and John 10:7-16 where 1 defense. When in pasture, they need Jesus is the shepherd over his to be shepherded by human or by followers. While those references domesticated guardians, leading pertain to the religion based upon them and protecting them against Jesus' ministry, he lived in times of threats.

  • Approaches to Community: Conflicts and Complementarities*
    Approaches to Community: Conflicts and Complementarities* MARCIA PELLY EFFRAT York University, Toronto Two main controversies—over territorial grounding and over the range of functions—have divided theoretical research on community into jour main research traditions. Each of these is discussed in terms of its develop- ment, contributions, and inadequacies. Other controversies—over partici- patory democracy, over local autonomy, and over the role of physical de- sign—are examined in relation to efforts to construct communities. Trying to study community i.s like trying to scoop up jello with your fingers. You can get hold of some, but there's always more slipping away from you. When we talk about community research, we can—and often do—refer to material on community organizing, action, and planning as well as more traditional research on interaction patterns, institutions, norms, and roles within phenomena characterized as communities. Not only is the range of subject matter broad but it is also divided into differing camps, whose debates with one another continue heatedly and underlie much of the research being done. But the jello analogy holds in this sense too, because in the process of debate the controversial issues have become mixed together in a gelatinous mess of hypotheses, research, and value judgments. It is difficult, then, to differentiate these issues, and to see what positive and negative implications do in fact derive from em- •I especially want to thank Andrew Effrat for his valuable substantive and stylistic criticisms of earlier drafts of this paper as well as for his most substantial assistance in the editing of this collection.

  • Community Methods
    RESEARCH REPORT: Conceptualisations and meanings of “community”: the theory and operationalisation of a contested concept By Graham Crow, University of Southampton, and Alice Mah, University of Warwick, March 2012 1. Introduction This AHRC-funded Connected Communities research report explores conceptualisations and meanings of ‘community’ as a contested concept, focusing in particular on how researchers have operationalised the concept of community in the 21st century. The aim of this report is to take stock of recent theoretical and empirical developments in researching communities, identifying continuities, and differences between past and present research. First, we provide a brief survey of previous theoretical and empirical traditions of researching community as a point of reference for analysing recent developments. Then, the main body of the report presents a comprehensive survey of recent developments in the ‘operationalisation’ of community, drawing primarily on the 100 works in the annotated bibliography Researching Community in the 21st Century which accompanies this report. Rather than following more traditional approaches which distinguish between communities of place, interest and identity (Willmott 1986), we explore theoretical, empirical and methodological developments in researching communities across four interrelated and overlapping themes: connection, difference, boundaries and development. In addition to this focus on how researchers have gone about capturing the meaning of ‘community’ in the research published in these 100 items, the report also draws on interviews conducted with a broad range of researchers with recent experience of undertaking research in the field of ‘community’, and on input to the project from members of the project advisory board. These interviews and other comments provided to us are used to draw some general conclusions about the current state of community research in terms of theory and method, and a brief assessment of prospects for the coming period.
