“…Babajanian (2015) reported that empowerment is an outcome of participation, however codesign and design thinking movements identify the important role of inclusion of users in program design indicating a need for citizen centricity across time (Micheli et al, 2019). When community-involvement approaches involve active participation of the community, the results are significantly positive (Narayanan et al, 2017). While previous studies on citizen participation have attracted wide attention (van der Boor et al, 2014), and have proven to be of importance in various areas, such as new product development (Xie and Jia, 2016) or health services development (Walsh et al, 2016), the concepts have not been studied in relation to CSR investment decision-making by banks.…”

“…While citizen centricity in program design is prevalent in the social change literature (Andreasen, 2002;The National Social Marketing Centre, 2010;French, 2011), little is known about a more citizen-centric CSR investment decision-making processes within banking (Adamson and Bromiley, 2013;Ashton et al, 2017;Narayanan et al, 2017). This study marks a first attempt to involve citizens in the CSR and CSM decision-making process, exploring preferences and citizens' willingness to be involved in community investment decision-making through a mixed-method research design.…”

PurposeThis study aims to demonstrate how banks can align their CSR investment to community needs and citizen preferences. A grounded theory inductive approach is applied to deliver a community-centred process that banks can apply to inform CSR investment decisions.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed a sequential mixed-method research design to identify areas of need from the perspective of community leaders and members through depth interviews. Following thematic analysis, citizen preferences for eight priority areas were elicited using best-worst scaling (BWS).FindingsClear investment preferences emerged with citizens preferring six community investment causes, namely, (1) infrastructure, (2) crisis and prevention support, (3) community groups, (4) youth facilities and activities, (5) initiatives that support the local environment, and (6) physical activity promotion. The forming of community advisory committees emerged as one approach that banks could apply to ensure long-term citizen-centred CSR investment decisions.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited to one community and one community bank and a small convenience, cross-sectional data sample.Social implicationsCommunity-oriented financial institutions should centre investment decisions on community need and citizen preferences ensuring investments made deliver the greatest societal benefit and community support for the banks is garnered.Originality/valueThis paper provides important contributions to improve the effectiveness of CSR initiatives, providing an inductive, methodological approach that financial institutions can follow to better align their CSR investment to community needs and preferences.

“…As basic services are contested among the population, mostly in rapidly growing urban areas, discussion on brown sustainable development revolves around local-equity of basic service distribution. It is debating on difference access of poor and non-poor of the urban population, or among those of the poor urban population [10,11,12].…”

The gap in water consumption among urban households remains obvious in most cities in Indonesia. It is particularly the case for high-density urban areas. Dense urban areas and limited availability of water resource position water as a contested resource. Regarding water as a contested resource, this paper aims to identify the socioeconomic determinants influencing levels of water consumption in the urbanized medium-sized city, using the case of Surakarta City. Data were collected by using proportional random sampling. Valid respondents are 356 households out of 400 respondents. Respondents were proportioned according to served and not served by networked water PDAM. The data are analyzed by using multiple regression. The result shows that, with 95 percent significance level, overall, age of head of household, total monthly income, housing type, the number of water source utilized by every household, total number of people in every household, and total person work in every household have simultaneously become factors determining water consumption of households in Surakarta. The socioeconomic variables are able to explain 16 percent of the whole factors determining household water consumption in Surakarta City. Even though many factors remain unexplained, this study reveals several important factors that often cause the marginalization of certain urban communities from appropriate domestic water in a rapidly growing secondary city.

“…One important instrument in development that must be provided by the government is the availability of infrastructure (Saggaf, Salam, Kahar, & Akib, 2014;Salam, Rosdiana, Suarlin, & Akib, 2014). Infrastructure is a basic need of the community that must be fulfilled to support the social and economic activities of the community (Admiraal, Sequeira, McHenry, & Doepel, 2017;Aleixo, Pena, Heller, & Rezende, 2019;Bouabid & Louis, 2015;Makarewicz, Adkins, Frei, & Wennink, 2018;Narayanan, Rajan, Jebaraj, & Elayaraja, 2017;Rehak, Senovsky, Hromada, & Lovecek, 2019). The success of a development is the result of the success of a plan, so one measure of the success of regional autonomy can be seen from development, such as fulfilling infrastructure development for the community (Ahmadabadi & Heravi, 2019;Fu et al, 2018;Ika & Donnelly, 2017).…”
