Villes conviviales
Partant de la notion de « convivialité » exprimée par Ivan Illich, l'anthropologue américaine Lisa Peattie la généralise à tous les groupes d'habitants qui transforment un lieu en un cadre actif propices à de nouveaux rituels d'une sociabilité joyeuse non dépourvue de tensions. Tout lieu investi par des habitants dans un but partagé devient convivial et engendre à son tour de la convivialité, c'est-à-dire du commun

Anthropology and Planning
Despite the relevance of anthropol ogy's field work methods and focus on social institutions and processes, and despite much interest in applied anthropology, there seems relatively little use of anthropology by plan ners. While this communication gap is at times bridged via use of an thropology in planning for particular groups, in urban design, and in pro gram evaluation, the greatest poten tial seems to lie in the joint explora tion of particu…

Development Planning as the Only Game in Town
Why is development planning a central activity of city government? This paper confronts this question through the study of a small city in the Boston SMSA Development planning in this city turns out to be a contentious business. Not everyone supports it, and it is difficult to do Yet despite a number of competing planning agendas and, in particular, popular demand for human services, development planning — i e., planning for business — consistent…

Settlement Upgrading
Different approaches to the planning and development of squatter settlements in Bogota, Columbia are presented and con trasted. Barrio Las Colinas is a example of a "comprehensive" approach to settle ment upgrading, wherein development took the form of a rational planning pro cess. On the other hand, Barrio Policarpa developed through forthright political op position. Although both settlements are exceptional successes, they differ strik ingly in…

Knowledge for Policy
Policy research, as currently practiced, rests on a set of intellectual conventions which assume that there is a linear relationship from research to problem analysis to policy advice to action, and that societal institutions may be conceived of as comprising three linked but essentially separate realms-the political, the economic, and the social. These conventions arise from existing programmatic and disciplinary interests, and, in turn, serve t…

Reflections on Advocacy Planning
Planning initiative on the part of individual groups and communities within urban areas has been made necessary by the increasing bureaucratization and technical basis of decisions in current urban society. The efforts of advocate planners to represent these groups are made difficult because of their frequent lack of homogeneity, community feeling, and common interests in action. The treatment of local areas as "communities" of homogeneous intere…

Value Themes of the Native American Tribalistic Movement Among the South Dakota Sioux
In 1967 and the years following, many Sioux were beginning to question that assimilation into various social strata of Anglo American society was inevitable, and there was a tendency toward identification with the Sioux "tribal heritage." This tribalistic movement, the local expression of a general movement among Native Americans in Canada and the United States, appears to be having a profound effect on the values of the Sioux. It represents a cu…

Documentary History of the Fox Project, 1948-1959
Anthropology and the Search for Values
The development of anthropological method and theory has been shaped at almost every point by the problems of dealing with human values. A look at the history of anthropology suggests that this involvement with values has been a source of confusion, but has also had important positive aspects. It suggests that values are a central aspect of all human belief and action; that they are integrated into patterns of living in such a way as to be both g…
