“…Personal empowerment is evidenced in the attainment of knowledge, skills and abilities through participation (Lyons, Smuts & Stephens 2001). Development of local leadership and attainment of new skills and information facilitates the ongoing cyclical process of social learning and collaborative action (Cuthill & Fien 2005). As a result, local communities have an opportunity to empower themselves to play a key role in local development.…”

The concept of engaged scholarship, as a 'new' and participatory approach to knowledge production, has received much attention over the past decade. However, the term is clouded in ambiguity. This paper presents some introductory discussion around concepts of engaged scholarship, and then focuses in detail on a methodological case study of participatory action research as an example of engaged scholarship in practice. Discussion revolves around reflections on practice, drawing largely from recent reports on participatory democracy and the role of unversities in society.

“…In general, greater citizen participation in policy and planning can be seen as a cornerstone to sustainable communities (Cuthill & Fien, 2005), and a component of a broader theoretical framework of participatory democracy (de Tocqueville, 1969). Cuthill (2004) suggests that strong local democracy can contribute to the development of human and social capital, which in turn creates the foundation for collaborative local action.…”

“…Community-based participatory planning is not always successful, however. It can only occur in communities that have the capacity for it to occur (Cuthill & Fien, 2005;Woodley, 1993). Horizontal collaboration among stakeholders with varying interests combined with efforts to build capacities of all participating stakeholders is important, but often a challenging endeavor (Bryson & Crosby, 1992;Innes, 1995;Bramwell & Sharman, 1999).…”

Following a discussion on the relationship between participatory planning, collaboration, and tourism visioning, this paper describes the development of a tourism specific visioning process. A case study of a facilitated tourism visioning process in the City of Surprise, Arizona, U.S.A. is presented. This case study provides an example of the potential power of the visioning process for a destination community developing a tourism vision to guide collaborative tourism planning. Insights from three stakeholder workshops are discussed in two contexts: (1) a long-term recommendations of what is needed for implementing a successful tourism visioning process and development of a community tourism plan, and (2) a manageable set of short-term "successes" that could be accomplished by stakeholders collaborating to establish a tourism vision.

“…One of the critical entities who has responsibility for sustainable development and urban planning process is the local government. Cuthill and Fien (2005) suggested that collaborative action can be achieved in terms of improved capacity regarding local sustainability issues on the basis of the local government's responsibility to facilitate community participation within the capacity building process (Özçevik et al 2010).…”

The built environments of metropolitan areas are rapidly changing in response to urban development dynamics. The nature of the urban built environment continues to be influenced by the conflicting interests and expectations of various entities involved in the process of development planning and implementation. The formulation and implementation of urban development plans in Turkey is guided by the statutory provisions of the country's planning system. This process has led to piecemeal implementation through partial plans and plan amendments in metropolitan areas. This article attempts to determine how the private sector in metropoles in Turkey shaped the built environment in Turkey after 1980. Influence of neo-liberal policies and a partial planning approach set by a free-market economy instead of a comprehensive planning approach shaped urban space. As a capital, the urban development of Ankara has mostly been shaped by partial planning approaches and implementations and uncontrolled developments, especially on the southwest axis of the city's metropolitan area. For this reason, one of the largest settlement of southwest Ankara is the Angora Settlement, which has been selected as the case study.
