Brennan, and Tingxuan Li. 1912 244 pages. Community development research and practice series Includes bibliographical references and index. "Culture is a living thing. In social settings, it is often used to represent entire ways of life, including rules, values and expected behavior. Varying from nation to nation, neighborhood to neighborhood, and beyond even in the smallest localities, culture is a motivating factor in the creation of social identity and serves as a basis for creating cohesion and solidarity. This book explores the intersection of culture and community as a basis for locally and regionally based development by focusing on three core bodies of literature: theory, research, and practice. The first section, theory, uncovers some of the more relevant historical arguments, as well as more contemporary examinations. Continuing, the research section sheds light on some of the key concepts, variables, and relationships present in the limited study of culture in community development. Finally, the practice section brings together research and theory into applied examples from on the ground efforts. During a time where the interest to retain the uniqueness of local life, traditions, and culture is significantly increasing in community-based development, the authors offer a global exploration of the impacts of culturally based development with comparative analysis in countries such as Korea, Ireland and the United States. A must-read for community development planners, policy makers, students and researchers"-- Community development Case studies. 57298 Group identity Case studies. 57299 Culture Case studies. 57300 Phillips, Rhonda, editor. 57024 Brennan, Mark A., editor. 57025 Li, Tingxuan, editor. 57026 Online version: Culture, community, and development New York : Routledge, 2019. 9780429489181 (DLC) 2019038582 7 cbc orignew 1 ecip 20 y-gencatlg lcc BK 68187 68161 0 0 lcc 0 0 GEN CPL CPL GEN 2024-12-04 Purchase 45.10 3 1 HN49.C6 C855 2020 T00842W3232 2026-02-20 11:44:47 2025-12-15 1 2025-01-13 BK
