“…Place-based approaches enable innovative solutions by dealing in detail with its different manifestations in different places at a very fine-grained local level (Marshal et al, 2017:443). Place based approaches can capture the spatial dimension of development, disadvantage, wellbeing and multi-dimensional factors of rurality (Winterton et al, 2014).…”

“…Focusing on the relational aspects of community highlights the importance of human interaction. Thus, the interactional perspective on community goes beyond the conceptions of community as a geographical area or as collaborative service provision (Winterton et al 2014;Bessant 2018). According to Bessant (2018, 7), 'interaction is perhaps the most essential component of community, regardless of whether it takes the form of a territorially localized context of solidary social relationships or a spatially dispersed network of relations'.…”

“…Although there may be a tendency for the world to be thought of as more interconnected than ever and of geographical location as somehow less important, it can be seen in the literature that community as a geographical area is not discarded but rather reevaluated (Liepins 2000;Chaskin 2008;Berg 2016;Flora et al 2016). It is also clear that researchers have come to conceptualize community increasingly as a relational entitysocially and culturally (Bates & Bacon 1972;Calhoun 1980;Woods 2011;Winterton et al 2014;Blokland 2017;Bessant 2018). This shift also means that communities are acknowledged as practised and processual (e.g.…”

Despite much attention paid to the topic of community in academic literature and policy documents, there is a relative lack of knowledge about what laypersons perceive as a local community. Based on data from a national survey, the authors examine how c.1400 Norwegians conceptualized local community-lokalsamfunn in Norwegian. They reveal some of the linguistic and conceptual aspects of local community as a term, in addition to tendencies and patterns among the survey responses. The respondents' conceptualizations contained references to lokalsamfunn variously as a geographical area, people and relations, activities and involvement, attachment to place and people, and provider of local goods and services. Their main emphasis was on lokalsamfunn as a spatial unit. However, the responses contained relatively few references to the relational aspects of lokalsamfunn. The authors conclude that a common, lay understanding may be that lokalsamfunn is a vaguely defined but limited geographical unit filled with people who to varying degrees know each other and interact. Concerning policymaking aimed at fostering communal well-being, the authors hold that any community-based programming requires intricate knowledge of the people who form the community, since without community interaction and a degree of social cohesion any envisioned programmes may not succeed.

“…Through the ARI and other programming, KVEC has been pursuing programs and opportunities that are consistent with theories of place-based innovation, which are based on the idea that sustainable development and progress-particularly in rural areas-depend upon the enhancement and improvement of the local community's unique and malleable assets and attributes (e.g., Maddock and Robinson, 2010;Salvia and Quaranta, 2017;Winterton et al, 2014). Research indicates that place-based innovations can work only through systematic communication and collaboration among all stakeholders.…”
