“…Notions of place attachment were first developed within environmental psychology, stressing how emotional bonds are formed between people, places and physical surroundings (Plunkett et al, 2018), and also include memories (Alawadi, 2017).

This article explores what the present researchers have learned about place and place attachment in connection with an ongoing study of homemaking, belonging, and the significance of place for older people. The article is a contribution to research on the role of the researcher in the field, with a particular focus on the researcher’s own place attachment in the research process. The data comprises interviews, observations and diaries, and the writing of it was an iterative process that took place within a place attachment process. We are interested in the impact of place on what researchers learn about place and their own place attachment process - in relation to the idea of a place and its inhabitants as co-producers of each other. To be place attached means having an identity that is connected to a place, and it has been suggested that this has an impact on community development and social community capacity. The article provides insights into the place attachment of the researchers, and how the value of time spent at a place is central to embracing place and becoming fully part of the participatory process, bringing truthfulness to participatory community-based research.

So, The RPTRA must be transformed if they want to be sustain and growth in the future. In addition, in order for the RPTRA to develop, digital transformation is also needed in the development of the RPTRA. Based on related research, digital transformation is needed for community to growing in the future. Through a research methodology that starts from collecting data through Contextual Inquiry, then it is analyzed and produces a system design using UML and user interface design using Figma. Furthermore, it is developed into a website application. This website application is evaluated through System Usability Scale (SUS) and heuristic evaluation. The evaluation results show that the proposed application has an SUS value above the average. We can conclude through this website application can be used for sharing information inside the community also can engage with the society . In the future, it is hoped that this RPTRA website application apart from being an information suggestion can also be used to market the products of RPTRA itself so that it can add to the economic value of this website.

Inside, there is a vision, planning, direction, and coordinated action towards the desired goals (Matarrita-Cascante & Brennan, 2012) such as promoting the (economic) welfare of society (Phillips & Pittman, 2014c;Plunkett, Phillips, & Ucar Kocaoglu, 2018) and solving social problems (Kumpulainen & Soini, 2019). Generally, community development occurs in rural areas (Horlings, 2016) which is where social problems occur the most.…”

“…Community development is not only about providing the desired benefits but also related to the process of achieving the desired results (Mtika & Kistler, 2017). The process contains practices and frameworks (Plunkett et al, 2018) that must be able to consolidate members of the community to work together (Jakimow, 2018;Lynch, Forde, & Lathouras, 2020;Mtika & Kistler, 2017) through participatory principles so that the results are more effective (Kenny, 2019).

Agricultural communities often confront issues such as lack of support from various political actors. The local government units LGUs are responsible for initiating measures for improving community capitals towards fostering growth and development to mango farming communities. This descriptive qualitative study provides an understanding of the initiatives of the LGU in enhancing the community capitals in the Guimaras, Philippines mango farming community. The community capitals framework (CCF) served as a lens and guide. Semi-structured interview guides and participant observation are instrumental in data gathering from five key informants. Findings revealed that LGU provided various programs and initiatives to help enhance the community capitals of the mango sector; thus, LGU as a political actor and development enabler has significant roles in fostering community development. Recommendations in this study are essential to the LGU further to enhance the community capitals of the mango farming sector. In gist, there is a need to focus more on building social networks within the community, establish means for transporting the mango produce, and strengthen community education on agriculture among the youth for them to involve in the mango industry’s development.
