“…The policy implementation process is very complex, interactive, and requires consensus, the results can be successful or unsuccessful. The fishery industrial zone policy demands structural and administrative readiness, so as not to cause environmental vulnerabilities that can disrupt the social system of people's lives [16]. The development of the fisheries sector in Natuna Regency is an accumulation of various policies such as: public, technical, resource allocation, personnel, finance, community services, and the economy.…”

The implementation of infrastructure development in the marine and fisheries sector is faced with the challenge of realizing the integration between national policies through the potential, problems, or needs in the regions as outlined in society-based plans. The interest of the Indonesian government to develop Natuna Regency as a fishery industrial zone is related to potential resources that can still be optimized and has a strategic water as a border area, making it prone to illegal fishing cases by neighboring countries. Based on that, the purpose of this study is to examine the development of Natuna Regency as a fishery industrial zone. The analysis was carried out qualitatively with a case study approach and discussed descriptively. The parameters used to measure the readiness of Natuna Regency as a fishery industrial zone are: 1) government policy and governance; 2) fish resources utilization and spatial planning; 3) infrastructure; 4) community empowerment and business; 5) institutional; 6) technology. The result showed: 1) aspects of the development pillars that have been assessed as supporting Natuna Regency to become a fishery industrial zone; 2) the impact of fishery industrial development policies can increase economic activity in Natuna Regency; 3) the Natuna’s Regency appointment as a fishery industrial zone by the Indonesian government is the right policy.

“…agenda21culture.net/home; Sabatini, 2019). Communities living in monotowns often have their own identities strictly connected with the contamination and require interventions apt to open a view to a future without contamination (Pasetto and Innocenti Malini, 2022). Difficulties in putting in practice participatory processes in environmental decision-making widely persist because of power disparities and mistrust between those with access to information and those without (Enghel, 2014;Carrick et al, 2022).…”

This work aims to discuss the implementation of a communication plan as a key element of the epidemiological study to foster social capacity in the scarcely involved community of the industrial contaminated site of Porto Torres (Sardinia region, Italy). We established an inter-institutional working group committed to developing communication activities and materials ensuring multidisciplinary skills from social and communication sciences to collaborate with the environmental and health experts involved in the epidemiological study. The adopted methodological approach and communication strategy resulted in effective and successful engagement of local institutional and social actors in the design and implementation of targeted communication activities. Designing and implementing environmental public health communication processes with poorly involved communities residing close to industrially contaminated sites is critically important. In these areas, environmental noxious exposures associated with high health risks are frequently combined with low socioeconomic conditions. This calls upon mechanisms of environmental injustice, distributive and procedural, and emphasizes the need to prioritize interventions based on integrative strategies securing local communities' engagement through informed participation. Based on the lessons learned in this community-focused experience in Italy, we have identified key actions for suitable environmental public health communication to foster social capacity and promote procedural environmental justice in communities living in other industrial contaminated sites.

This paper contributes to a reflection on the relationship between community development and performing art. It discusses the possible effects of a community theatre with regard to social and cultural capital, social inclusion, and audience development in Turin (Italy). This form of artistic production can promote social ties and participation in cultural activities and increase social and cultural inclusion, key values in community development. We examine audience characteristics, development, and appreciation as the primary indicators of success, as perceived by selected stakeholders, within the context of a single case study. The intervention involved a heterogeneous audience of people who usually do not participate in neighbourhood activities and/or attend artistic-theatrical performances. As stated by the stakeholders, the project was appreciated and its impact on the citizenry was positive, particularly for the cognitive and emotional involvement and the heightened awareness of often hidden or unknown problems and resources. Limitations are also discussed.
