A Perspective on Planning in New Zealand
The Meaning of Development: Traditional View and More Recent Ideas
Questioning community as a collective antidote to fear: Jean‐Luc Nancy's ‘singularity’ and ‘being singular plural
Community has long been a key academic concept and lay narrative, especially in commentaries of rural as opposed to urban life. Although community is proffered as an antidote for a plethora of emotional, social and policy challenges in contemporary Western societies, we argue that it is problematic. Previously, we suggested that community is a device mobilised in response to fears surrounding finitude. In this paper, we again draw on Nancy's theo…
Teaching Research Through Field Studies: A Cumulative Opportunity for Teaching Methodology to Human Geography Undergraduates
Notwithstanding its iconic status within geography, the debate continues about how fieldwork should be taught to undergraduate students. The authors engage with this debate and argue that field studies should follow the teaching of research methodology. In this paper they review relevant literature on the place of fieldwork in geography training, the importance of problem solving and the challenges of group learning. Drawing on these themes they …
Why Community? Reading Difference and Singularity with Community
Geographers have increasingly recognised that communities are not homogeneous social formations but contain great diversity and are meaningful in a variety of material, relational and political ways. This has resulted in the apparently contradictory notion of "community with difference"; that community may be performed even while heterogeneity and disagreement are present. But geographers have yet to address satisfactorily the question of why com…
Teaching Research Methodology to Geography Undergraduates: Rationale and practice in a human geography programme
In human geography, apart from a small selection of informative textbooks, scholars have remained relatively quiet on the matter of curriculum design and teaching programmes that would provide this experience. Instead, attention has been devoted to specific, individual research skills or selected intersections between teaching and research. In contrast, this paper argues that it is important to consider how we might best teach research methodolog…
Legitimacy of rural local government in the new governance environment
Enhanced environmental management: The case for conditional economic growthinldcs
A case is outlined for continued economic growth in LDCs contingent upon radical environmental repositioning by individual states. The argument rests on two premises: that LDCs would be interested in employing sustainable management practices but for the associated costs, and that current political, economic and environmental circumstances are such that DCs may now be inclined to help meet some of those costs. The article focuses on LDCs with lev…
