Revue de l'Université de Moncton, vol. 36, n o 2, 2005, p. 203-226 AbstractThe Center for the prevention of family violence of Kent County and various individuals from the community have joined together with a university researcher to undertake an action research with regards to women who are victims of domestic violence. The purpose of this research is to help 204 Revue de l'Université de Moncton, vol. 36, n o 2, 2005 better understand the problem of domestic violence in Kent County and to provide recommendations which will provide better assistance to victims. Twelve women were interviewed individually while six participated in group discussions. These women spoke of their current violent situation and its effects on themselves and their children. They also identified the needs of the women victims of this type of violence. The research sheds light on the victims' conditions and also, on the scarcity of services and resources available to them in Kent County. The women's experiences and points of view also instigated actions to help women who are victims of domestic violence and their children.

À l’instar des autres provinces canadiennes, le Nouveau-Brunswick est particulièrement affecté par le vieillissement de sa population. Si les conséquences négatives liées à ce phénomène ont retenu l’attention de plusieurs chercheurs, force est de reconnaître que les impacts positifs du vieillissement en matière de développement territorial ont fait l’objet d’un nombre beaucoup plus réduit de travaux. Le but de cet article consiste, à partir de quatre notions centrales dans le domaine du développement territorial, à examiner si un modèle d’habitation issu de la sphère privée peut avoir des répercussions positives sur la qualité de vie des personnes âgées en milieu rural fragile. Nous nous intéresserons plus spécifiquement au cas de la communauté de Robertville au Nouveau-Brunswick. L’un des intérêts de notre contribution est de montrer en quoi la participation citoyenne des aînés est susceptible de faire contrepoids au discours alarmiste axé sur les effets négatifs liés au vieillissement.Like the other Canadian Provinces, the Province of New Brunswick is particularly affected by the ageing of its population. If the consequences linked to the ageing process have drawn the attention of research workers concerning the cost and management of health care services for the elders, little has been done concerning the problem of lodging accommodations. In the light of four central notions pertaining to territorial development, the purpose of the following article is to show how a model of development in the private sector can have positive repercussions on the quality of life of the elders in a fragile rural area. An interesting example of this is the Robertville community, a small village, located in the north-eastern part of New Brunswick. The following article emphasizes how the participation of the elders contributes to counteract alarmist talks about the ageing of the population
