“…Moreover, the empirical articles demonstrate this understanding in concrete examples. For instance, they show that community gardens and alternative agriculture can create both social and ecological sustainability (Bailey et al, 2018; Nicli et al, 2020), and Izlar's article highlights how an ecosocial initiative can combine e‐waste reduction and digital injustice (2019). In these cases, the human and non‐human spheres both have a value in themselves (Table 2).…”

“…Like the theoretical texts, many empirical articles can be divided into themes. Six articles focus on ecosocial initiatives: they discuss ecosocial innovations (among other things with respect to alternative economies and unemployment) in the UK, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Finland (Matthies et al, 2019(Matthies et al, , 2020Stamm et al, 2020); community gardens in Australia (Bailey et al, 2018); an initiative in Midwestern USA which combines work against e-waste and digital injustice (Izlar, 2019); and ecosocial agriculture, mainly in Italy (Nicli et al, 2020). Another group, the seventh, eighth and ninth empirical articles, investigate the profession of social work in New South Wales (Australia) (Boetto et al, 2020), Australia, the USA and the UK (Bowles et al, 2018), and Turkey (Yildirim et al, 2021).…”

Aiming to explore how the ecosocial is imagined within social work research, this article engages with understandings of the relationship between the social and ecological realms when responding to the call for sustainability. A theoretical framework offering five possible imaginations of the ecosocial was developed: the holistic; the anthropocentric conflictual; the anthropocentric compatible; the 'ecocentric' conflictual; and the 'ecocentric' compatible. The material consists of international peer-reviewed articles referring to the ecosocial. The result reveals that the imagination of the ecosocial is heterogeneous.However, the holistic and anthropocentric compatible imaginations are common, while 'ecocentric' and conflictual understandings are rare, which confirms that nurturing social and ecological sustainability does not entail conflicting interests or rivalry but rather the opposite. This implies not only an ongoing widening of the notion of sustainability, in which the idea of limitations is re-installed, but also a possible re-definition of 'the social' so as to include the non-human.

“…Common to these is the role of cultural elements (e.g., cross-cultural elements) in facilitating the formation of a community framework. Consequently, concepts such as community mental health care and community mental health management have emerged [ 31 , 32 ]. In addition, the overall environment of the community, along with its subjective group interactions, can also influence the mental health of residents [ 33 , 34 ].…”

This study defined intergenerational integration in communities at a theoretical level and verified whether a series of measures could facilitate negotiation and communication between community residents and other stakeholders to generate a positive and healthy community environment and gradually improve intergroup relations. Specifically, we applied community psychology and used Hongqiao New Village in Shanghai, China, as a research site to explore intergenerational conflict in public community spaces. The research was divided into two stages: an input stage and an output stage. In the input stage, participatory research and tea parties were used to deeply explore residents’ public space requirements. In the output stage, we tested the validity of the theory by using the Intergenerational Attitude Scale to investigate whether the intergenerational relationships were changed by the co-creation intervention. The results showed that the intervention caused a decrease in the incidence of conflict between residents using the square and caused some children to join the older groups in their activities. We thus propose a theoretical system model of intergenerational integration strategies that incorporates elements of integration, disagreement, and synergy in intergenerational interactions. Overall, this paper provides new ideas for building a community environment that supports mental health and improves intergenerational relationships and social well-being.
