“…In relation to this, community development practitioners should regard the concept of CCB not as something new, but as a refinement of ideas found within literature (Gibbon et al, 2002). CCB, like community development, describe a process that increases the assets and attributes that a community is able to draw upon in order to improve their lives (Labonte & Laverack, 2001a). Balint (2006, p. 140) states that CCB as a level of competence ability and skill and knowledge, is necessary in order to achieve the community goals.…”

This paper attempts to summarize the findings of a study, which explored the levels of community capacity building (CCB) that contributed to tourism development in local communities. The study was carried out in Shiraz, Iran. The study focused on the level of community capacity building in local communities that involved in tourism activities. The research methodology of the study was based on qualitative and quantitative methods. Findings of the study show that the level of CCB in tourism development in the study area is generally low. Secondly, the CCB in the Old District of Shiraz was higher compared to the New District. The result also shows that the level of CCB is different according to types of tourism activities. The objective of the study also was to determine the relationship between the level of CCB and community leaders' perception of tourism impacts and their characteristics. The results from the multiple regression indicated that CCB can be predicted by community leaders' income, tourism income, extra activities, length of residence, educational level, and number of family members engaged in tourism activities.

“…Capacity building is primarily concerned with enabling behaviour change to improve outcomes (Labonte & Laverack 2001;Lavender et al 2009;West et al 2011). The TPB is concerned with the key cognitive aspects which motivate or influence an individual to perform (or not) a desired behaviour (Ajzen 1991).…”

“…An alternative theoretical model to Davidson's 'Wheel of Participation' 14 was provided by Laverack, in a WHO working paper on 'Empowering Older People' presented to a Sub-Network meeting in Brighton in 2006. 15 Based on his earlier work, 16,17 he identified empowerment as a continuum ranging from personal action to more collective forms of community action ( Figure 3). The empowerment of older people offers the opportunity for individuals to build 'power-from-within' and for 'communities of interest' to collectively gain more access to the decisions and resources that influence their health and its determinants.…”

This article summarizes how members of the European Healthy Cities Network have applied the 'healthy ageing' approach developed by the World Health Organization in their influential report on Active Ageing. Network Cities can be regarded as social laboratories testing how municipal strategies and interventions can help maintain the health and independence which characterise older people of the third age. Evidence of the orientation and scope of city interventions is derived from a series of Healthy Ageing Sub-Network symposia but principally from responses by 59 member cities to a General Evaluation Questionnaire covering Phase IV (2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008) of the Network. Cities elaborated four aspects of healthy ageing (a) raising awareness of older people as a resource to society (b) personal and community empowerment (c) access to the full range of services, and (d) supportive physical and social environments. In conclusion, the key message is that by applying healthy ageing strategies to programmes and plans in many sectors, city governments can potentially compress the fourth age of 'decrepitude and dependence' and expand the third age of 'achievement and independence' with more older people contributing to the social and economic life of a city.
