The present study examined whether perception of critical community issues was dependent on respondents’ rurality, geographic region, or extension district in the state of Georgia, located in the southeastern United States. A non-probability sampling procedure was employed. A total of 3,374 responses were collected. Five critical community issue themes were analyzed: (1) youth and family development, (2) civic engagement and community development, (3) agriculture and economic development, (4) nutrition education and food availability, and (5) water. Descriptive statistics were analyzed. A series of chi-squared tests of independence were used to test for significant relationships between perception of critical community issues and geographic grouping. Statistically significant differences were observed between all groups (rurality, region, and district). Specifically, significant relationships were observed between all groups and perception of youth and family development and agriculture and economic development. A significant relationship between region and perception of civic engagement and community leadership was observed. Additionally, there was a significant relationship between rurality and water observed. The results indicate that programming efforts should be informed both by proximal communities as well as non-proximal communities sharing common characteristics.

“…Housing-related issues are a key component of initiatives that revitalize communities and safeguard their sustainability for the future (Skobba and Tinsley [53]). A comprehensive and inclusive housing revitalization plan is accountable to the particular requirements and conditions of the neighborhood (Brown et al [54]; ChatGPT3.5, 1/11/2023).…”

“…A comprehensive and inclusive housing revitalization plan is accountable to the particular requirements and conditions of the neighborhood (Brown et al [54]; ChatGPT3.5, 1/11/2023). The preservation of affordable housing in the face of gentrification, homelessness, and zoning laws are included in plans for community revitalization (Silverman et al [55]; Kazis et al [48]; Skobba and Tinsley [53]; Goetze [56]; Rohe & Steward [57]; US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development [58]).…”

How Does the Neighborhood Unit Inform Community Revitalization?

Community revitalization is a complex, multifaceted process, studied conceptually and empirically in the vast multidisciplinary literature. Among the cited elements of community revitalization are housing; school, civic, and retail spaces; street networks; parks; and green spaces. However, the elements are commonly studied in isolation, not considering their interrelated qualities as all-of-a-piece of the community revitalization process. In this paper, we draw on the concept of the neighborhood unit that facilities a holistic approach to community revitalization. We show how the neighborhood unit is metamorphosed and thereby endured from the classic to the contemporary. We argue that the neighborhood unit informs, as well as being challenged by, community revitalization. Furthermore, inadequate attention is given to how urban revitalization challenges the efficacy of the neighborhood unit itself. The inner-city blight provides an impetus to look beyond the neighborhood to the metropolitan region as a whole. The neighborhood unit’s fundamental limitation is posed by its cellular autonomy, in favor of alternatives that connect the neighborhood to the metropolitan region’s jobs–housing–services–mobility opportunity holistically. Our literature review of the impactful elements of community revitalization is aided by AI (ChatGPT) as an expeditious search engine. It is found that the AI-aided search of the universal poses anew the significance of the particular—the site- and context-specific. We conclude with) universal “performance dimensions” of Good City Form that are calibrated locally, reflecting the goodness of the city form, of which the neighborhood is a building block.
