“…Valuing diversity, resisting monocultural assumptions and hierarchies, and opening up the space for different perspectives to be brought together is at the heart of this educational practice. It takes forms such as critical action research and participatory action research; as well as of longstanding traditions with strong allegiances with adult education, such as community organising and asset-based community development (see, for example, McKnight & Kretzmann, 1996). Such work seeks to create knowledge in common -it is open to reformulation of questions and to challenging of foundational assumptions.…”

“…Therefore, this study is governed by two main theories; Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach and Bio-Cultural (BC) approach. ABCD is defined as a methodology or strategy for the sustainable development of communities based on the strengths and potentials the community possesses (Mcknight and Kretzmann, 1996). This approach conforms with the participatory approach principles, since it allows communities to empower themselves through utilization of assets that they already possess instead of depending on resources from outside (Hanspachet al, 2017).…”

Community participation in natural resources management is a basis for sustainable management of these resources. However, the question of which actors/assets within communities are more connected to the natural resources based on their knowledge, skills and talents is not well captured. This study, therefore, combines Asset Based Community Development approach and Bio‐Cultural approach, to identify influential stakeholders in the utilization of catchment resources in Upper Zigi and Lower Mngeta catchments, in the United Republic of Tanzania. Participatory rural appraisal tools; participatory bio‐physical resource mapping (PBRM) and participatory community asset mapping (PCAM) were used for data collection. Similar observations were made in both study sites, that, the most influential community assets were traditional healers, traditional dancers, hunters, Village Government, fishermen, farmers and family, and therefore, these most influential community assets should get involved in the management of catchment resources because they are true representatives of the community.

“…The ABCD model proposed by Kretzmann and McKnight (1997) promotes identifying community assets that help discover and strengthen existing personal, collective and environmental capacities and abilities (Kretzmann and McKnight, 1997). According to this model, the most successful communities focus on the resources they have, then organize and mobilize them (McKnight and Kretzmann, 1996). Their model recognizes six assets or resources, which become a basis for building and boosting community development (Kretzman and McKnight, 1993;Blickem et al, 2018;McKnight and Russell, 2019) Nobody has a full grasp of all the resources in a community; however, asset mapping allows people to discover the resources they already have and the best way to connect, access and activate them (Kretzmann and McKnight, 1993;McKnight and Russell, 2019) with an approach that focusses on improving the health of all its members (Guy et al, 2002).…”

Summary Health Promoting Universities (HPUs) are more likely to perform actions intended to change habits and increase personal empowerment, than they are to develop community actions. The objective of this research is to create an asset map to visualize collective actions in a Chilean HPU. A qualitative study, based on the ABCD model was conducted. There were 149 people, distributed into 48 semi-structured interviews and 14 focus groups, who participated in this study (students, employees, ex-students and retirees). An asset map was elaborated, identifying the contributions of residents, associations and organizations, local institutions, physical resources, economic assets and local culture and with a new category, ‘connecting assets’. These categories show the range of resources in a university. According to the participants, the questions on asset identification were a tool for reflection, and by giving their opinions and discovering or drawing attention to new resources, they gained a better understanding of the assets in the university. Several participants stated that these talks could generate a positive emotional environment, which boosted their wellbeing. There were gender- and group-based differences in how the assets were valued. Students stressed assets related to services and benefits from the institution, green areas, and collective spaces. Employees, retirees and ex-students emphasized assets related to belonging, identity and traditions. Men appreciated openness and privacy in physical spaces. Women highlighted assets related to the institution. The resulting map, displays a range of resources that can help the university develop new possibilities for comprehensive and collective actions that would revitalize the HPU strategy.
