The Indigenous housing system in Australia
A framework for the future of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander housing in Australia
The need for proactive environmental planning in local government
Many factors, including regulations, community values, and economic and environmental considerations, influence environmental planning decisions. Across the nation, local elected and appointed boards and commissions are responsible for planning and land use regulations. However, few studies have focused on environmental planning through comprehensive and parks and recreation plans. Using Indiana communities as a case study, this research highligh…

Housing policy in remote Indigenous communities
When it comes to issues of housing policy, remote Indigenous housing often presents the extreme case. The failures of housing policy are most acute in remote Indigenous Australia, but despite the need to learn from the policy mistakes of the past, there has been little detailed analysis of the policy history. Through documentary and empirical analysis, we show that policies have either failed to be adapted to cultural and geographic contexts or, …

Place Attachment and Community Development
Place attachment is a multidimensional concept about bonds people have for the places with which they interact. We are intrigued by its implications and potential influences on community development, particularly when explored from a community-oriented view. We use the case of Sunnyslope (a place within the Phoenix, Arizona municipal boundary) and a community development assessment conducted with stakeholders there. This community has survived th…

Local food systems and community economic development through the lens of theory
The premise of this article is that community support for local food systems and agriculture enterprises represents a convergence of both community and economic development approaches. By drawing on theory for understanding how local food systems and agriculture enterprises are pursued, there are lessons offering understanding and guidance for actions to support more holistic community economic development (CED) approaches. Using theory as a foun…
Heritage and Community Regeneration in Northern Ireland
Bringing heritage resources to the forefront in communities can serve to help heal long-standing divides with impacts not only in economic dimensions, but also social and cultural. It is an ironic turn—some of the heritage resources in Northern Ireland have been the site of intense and violent conflict over long periods of time—and now serve as focal points for bringing together divergent groups, helping heal divisions in communities. Seventeen c…

Indigenous Rough Sleeping in Darwin, Australia
Much of what is known of street homelessness is informed by accounts from urban centres throughout North America and the UK. The nature of the problem and the ways in which it is addressed are implicitly assumed to be similar across diverse major cities. The street homeless are thought to be highly marginalised and vulnerable. In turn, contemporary policy aims to provide housing/accommodation and welfare to address this form of homelessness as de…
Exiting Unsheltered Homelessness and Sustaining Housing
An emerging body of evidence has demonstrated the extent to which social programs and housing initiatives have successfully helped people exit chronic and unsheltered homelessness. Contemporary research shows that people with both health and social problems are able to exit homelessness and sustain housing over several years. Although the existing evidence is robust and often based on studies employing rigorous experimental designs, clients of pr…
Tourism, Planning, and Community Development
This article examines community tourism planning practices through the theoretical framework of deliberative democracy, and provides an example of best practices of integrating tourism planning and development into community comprehensive planning. it illustrates how a small remote community on Vancouver Island, Canada embraced practices of participatory dialogic planning in its official community planning process. Having faced a threat of touris…
An Indicator Framework for Linking Historic Preservation and Community Economic Development
Tourism, Culture, and the Creative Industries
Ample attention is paid to the role of arts and culture in community and economic development. however, much less attention is given to its role at the neighborhood area, as well as relationships to local or community tourism. Our goal in this article is to explore how arts and the creative industries influence community-based tourism in neighborhoods needing revitalization. Using an embedded case study analysis approach, two areas were explored:…
An introduction to community development
The Community and Economic Development Chain
The community development and economic development literatures have evolved largely independently with little recognition of the critical relationship between the two disciplines. This omission is not so obvious when researchers focus on individual components of each discipline in isolation, but upon examination of how community and economic development systems work in theory and practice overall, this shortcoming becomes apparent. A proposed fra…
Exploring the Impacts of Ballot Box Land Use Measures on Affordable Housing
Throughout the U.S., increasing land use regulation via ballot box measures is being addressed. It appears that ballot box land use measures to pass land use regulation change can lead to delays in the land development process. These delays have been found to increase transaction costs, cause uncertainty in the development process, and lead to a reduction in the number of new single-unit homes being constructed. One of the major concerns is that …
Artful business
Communities across the United States are integrating the arts into their development efforts. Emerging as a viable approach, community development based on the arts is increasingly being recognized as a catalysing force. This article presents a typology of arts-based community development approaches: arts business incubators, artists’ cooperatives, development of tourism venues and comprehensive approaches. Five community vignettes illustrate the…
