“…Research. From the 1960s onward, a host of CER approaches arose from demands to shift from top-down to bottom-up economic development and resource conservation planning (Cernea 1985;Chambers 1997;Hirschman 1984). Participatory approaches offered grassroots communities one way to resist extractive and exploitive economic and agricultural plans, and "fortress conservation" schemes that banished local residents from protected lands to preserve biodiversity, imposed by national governments, multinational agencies such as the World Bank, and global NGOs.…”

2024

Ground Truths shows how community-engaged research contributes to environmental justice for Black, Indigenous, people of color, and low-income communities by centering local knowledge, building truth from the ground up, producing data that can influence decisions, and transforming researchers’ relationships to communities for equity and mutual benefit. The book outlines the main steps in conducting community-engaged research, evaluates the major research methods used, and addresses institutional barriers to this kind of scholarship in academia. A critical synthesis of research in many fields, Ground Truths provides an original framework for aligning community-engaged research and environmental justice, and applies the framework in chapters on public health, urban planning, conservation, law and policy, community economic development, and food justice and sovereignty.

“…These people have been prepared to build because they had confidence that their tenure was secure.

On the basis of experience in Jordan, Razzaz (1993: 350) questions the direction of causality and points out: "it is housing consolidation and investment which contributes to secure tenure".…”

INDES provides training programmes for public officials in Latin America and the Caribbean .Its current courses currently emphasize strategies for poverty reduction and the provision of social services, particularly education and health. INDES is considering extending its programme to include discussion of a current orphan of social policy, housing and shelter. This poses three questions. First, why is housing deserving of inclusion in its training course? Second, what are the interesting intellectual questions being raised in the housing field? And, finally, if a housing component were to be included in the course, what should be included in it? Answering those questions is the main purpose of the paper.

“…12 Este es un importante componente de la sostenibilidad, o sea la generación de beneficios duraderos (ver Recuadro 2). 13 La sostenibilidad es difícil de medir durante la ejecución dado que se refiere a condiciones futuras, pero se ha logrado establecer que factores como la presencia o carencia de la participación, y la consideración de aspectos socioculturales durante la formulación e ejecución de los proyectos, están directamente relacionados con la permanencia de beneficios una vez concluida su ejecución. 14 Los beneficios de la participación ciudadana son ya comúnmente aceptados por la comunidad internacional de apoyo al desarrollo.…”

Este documento examina la manera en que incide la participación ciudadana en el cumplimiento de los objetivos institucionales del Banco, lo cual exige cumplir con los mandatos que se le han confiado y asegurar que se materialicen los beneficios y ventajas de la participación. Los diferentes ámbitos de la actividad del Banco que pueden mejorarse mediante la participación son los siguientes: el de las contribuciones del Banco a la definición de las agendas de desarrollo de los países de América Latina y el Caribe; el de la formulación de las estrategias sectoriales; y el de las operaciones. Este Documento recoge los conceptos y lineamientos fundamentales que serían incorporados en el Marco Estratégico sobre Participación. Está basado en el estudio preliminar preparado en el Departamento de Desarrollo Sostenible (SDS) "Hacia un marco conceptual para la consulta y participación pública" (marzo de 2000) el cual fue sometido a consideración y consulta con numerosas organizaciones de la sociedad civil (OSC).
