“…Conflict theory is a theory that takes social conflict as the research object in modern and contemporary western sociology. Its formation indicates that conflict, as an inherent component of social structure and a basic form of social pattern, has received social attention ( Pothier et al, 2019 ). People no longer avoid conflicts, but face them directly, and actively research methods to resolve conflicts.…”

The conflict of administrative morality among civil servants at the grassroots level arises from the background of China’s long-standing traditional culture, and the current administrative system cannot keep up with the pace of economic development. In the process of grassroots management, due to the lag in the construction of administrative morality, the traditional official standard thinking, the imperfection of the current system, and the restriction of human nature, it is easy to cause the administrative moral conflict of the grassroots civil servants in practice. This paper takes the interpersonal society as the research background, analyzes the influence of the interpersonal society on the environment, and studies the administrative ethics conflicts and governance issues of basic civil servants from the interpersonal background. In addition, this paper conducts a more detailed field investigation based on fuzzy cluster analysis, analyzes the manifestations and causes of the administrative moral conflict of grassroots civil servants in the context of human society from multiple perspectives and levels, and then proposes countermeasures to solve the administrative moral conflict. The administrative moral conflict and governance of grass-roots civil servants under the background of interpersonal relationship is of great positive significance for solving the administrative moral conflict and improving the service awareness and service level of grass-roots civil servants.

“…30 Historically marginalized populations may face subtle invisible barriers that inhibit participation. Historical trauma, chronic urban trauma, 31 and chronic injustice 32 all refer to persistent experiences of discrimination and racism in everyday interactions, including, but not limited to, hiring and promotion bias, 33 poor access to health care or healthy food, 34,35 racial profiling, and privileged entitlement to public spaces and recreational activities, 36,37,38 noninclusive language in meetings and workshops, 39,40 lack of access to highquality educational resources, 41 and even intimidation and physical violence. 42 Although these experiences may or may not take place within the context of an AOC, these experiences can impact individual, community and cross-community communication, trust, and willingness to engage in any collaborative environment historically dominated by white privilege.…”

We surveyed a sample of AOC RAP documents (related to the studies described below) investigating the role of the PAC and community engagement. In addition, we found nine original studies in which direct feedback was collected from Great Lakes AOC communities that related to perceptions and experiences of the RAP process or outcomes. Of these, four were most relevant to analyze PAC-related responses. We include an additional four studies that used the interview data of one or more of the original nine studies and three more studies that utilized surveys 4 to collect AOC PAC and community feedback.

“…Another study focused on the engagement of Hispanic communities found that formal approaches to public participation were not accessible to the broader Hispanic community (Gibson‐Wood and Wakefield ). Participants may also lack the confidence to express themselves in formal settings, and their contributions may be viewed as unrelated and unhelpful (Pothier et al ). Further, participation also involves real costs (e.g., transportation, childcare costs to attend meetings) that may differentially affect lower income community groups (Wakefield and Poland ).…”

Cultural Narratives on Constraints to Community Engagement in Urban Water Restoration

Natural resource professionals increasingly recognize that water protection and restoration efforts require not only technical solutions, but also the active engagement of stakeholders who live and work in the local community. People of color, and those of lower income brackets, are frequently underrepresented in water‐related programming or decision‐making, although they are often disproportionately affected by water problems. Effective engagement of diverse community members in water programs and projects requires understanding and addressing constraints to action. We conducted 25 interviews with community members who live or work in a highly urbanized Minnesota watershed to explore perceived obstacles to community engagement in local water resource protection and restoration. Based on self‐reported race, ethnicity, and general community engagement level, interviewees were assigned to one of three “stakeholder groups” for comparative analysis: formal decision‐makers, active white community members, and active community members of color. Qualitative analysis of responses revealed perceived constraints to engagement common to all three groups: inaccessibility and invisibility of water, lack of local leadership in water issues, and limited community dialogue about water problems and solutions. Additional constraints were perceived uniquely by community members of color: cultural constraints around water uses, recreation, action, and inequities or disenfranchisement in community decision‐making processes and water programming. Study findings suggest partnership building is needed for collaboration in designing civic engagement programs and improving water protection and restoration projects.
