Designing Multimethod Research
Alcohol in Heavenston
In 1972, after nearly 120 years of alcohol prohibition, alcohol was legalized in Evanston, Illinois. Using this example of legalization as a case study, we examine how the relationship among values, social class, and economics drives communal moral orders, focusing on changes that occur when the moral order no longer symbolically represents the community in light of their economic interests and self-image. Using a comparative historical framework…

Pragmatic Liberalism
This book calls for a pragmatic approach to contemporary U.S. social problems, stressing workable outcomes regardless of their ideological origin, be they conservative, pluralistic, or radical. The policy analysis, grounded in social science research, claims that there is a broad cultural consensus on American values and a public willingness to help others in need. This critique of the three dominant ideologies extracts ideas, approaches, policie…

Local Knowledge and Local Power
Local Knowledge and Local Power
The study of elites by definition must be concerned with power, and power also enters into the ethnographer's research relationships. The reflexive interplay of knowledge and power in research therefore involves a political act as it affects the differential distribution of knowledge and power in society. The ethnographic study of local community elites specifically requires an understanding of the community context in which elites are embedded, …

Communities do act
Some communities act, and some do not. By action we refer to political actions that challenge existing authority, and by communities we refer to urban neighborhoods and their local voluntary organizations. By combining recent theories and research on local urban communities and neighborhoods with the resource mobilization perspective of collective political action we develop a synthetic model specifying the characteristics of local neighborhoods …
The meaning of community in community mental health
This article critically reviews the development of community mental health in both theory and practice and explores new directions and dilemmas for future policy and programs. First, we trace the dialectical development of the ideology of community mental health and the rediscovery of community. Second, we outline the two key transitions: (a) from professionals to natural helpers and (b) from catchment areas to natural networks. Third, we offer a…

The Gold Coast and the Slum Revisited
Street Traffic, Social Integration, and Fear of Crime
Drawing on the work of Jacobs, Newman, and Gardiner, among others, this paper investigates fear of crime by urban residents as a consequence of two interrelated characteristics of neighborhoods: 1) the perceived volume of street usage and 2) the degree of residents' social integration into the neighborhood. Secondary analysis of a 1975 survey shows that, counter to previous hypotheses, perception of increased street traffic leads to greater fear.…

The Urban NeighBorhood Its Analytical and Social Contexts
This introductory paper summarizes three analytical approaches to the study of neighbor hoods : (1) typologies, (2) stages of change, and (3) functions-which include economic, administrative, political, and social. A central characteristic of urban neighborhoods is seen to be their embeddedness in city, metropolitan, and national contexts. This, in turn, is hypothesized as leading to a newly emergent organization of neighborhoods into a "hierarch…

The Loss of Community
This survey and field observation study replicates Donald Foley's Neighbors or Urbanites? (1952) in the same urban neighborhood twenty-five years later to test the dynamic hypothesized loss of in urban life. Three indexes reflecting three dimensions of community were explored. Local facility use declined, informal neighboring showed no change, while sense of increased. The latter two did not decline because the area has attracted residents who ec…

Community Change
Two different urban ecology perspectives, the static one emphasizing uniform spatial distributions, and the dynamic one emphasizing stages of community change, are compared. More recent syntheses of these two perspectives are discussed. A number of propositions and implicit assumptions from the two perspectives are explored by factor analysis of census data for Chicago from 1930 to 1960. When community changes in the two dimensions of economic an…
Why Chicago
The Ecology of Chicago
Two sets of factor analyses are performed upon census data for Chicago from 1930 to 1960. The first method explores changes in ecological structure by comparing four separate factor analyses, each done at a different point in time. The second method explores the structure of ecological change and is based upon the factor analysis of differences in variables over three time periods. The first method reveals a marked stability in Chicago's ecologic…
