“…Having said this, over the last three decades within the social science literature there is increasing interest in the potential of community as both an agent in social networks (Chaskin, 2008) and as central to social ecological development (Bronfenbrenner, 1979;Jack, 2006). Similarly, social support is now seen as strongly connected to community in terms of urban and rural geography (Brennan, 2008) and community groups constructed on the basis of common bonds and interests (Dolan & McGrath, 2006).…”

“…This is true even in terms of conceptualising community, where historically in Ireland, models of 'populism' (Varley & Curtin, 2002) prevailed and internationally 'capacity building' (Chaskin, 2008;Crowe & Allan, 2000) were developed. More recently, additional related theories have been forwarded.…”

“…Thus this function must consider the degree of social interaction and co-operativity within the community. Furthermore, it is important to note that whether and to what extent a community responds, is generally influenced by two variables: the magnitude of influence (derived from V ) and the capacity of the community to respond (Chaskin, 2008) modelled here as…”

Abstract. It is increasingly acknowledged that, in order to sustainably manage global freshwater resources, it is critical that we better understand the nature of human-hydrology interactions at the broader catchment system scale. Yet to date, a generic conceptual framework for building models of catchment systems that include adequate representation of socioeconomic systems -and the dynamic feedbacks between human and natural systems -has remained elusive. In an attempt to work towards such a model, this paper outlines a generic framework for models of socio-hydrology applicable to agricultural catchments, made up of six key components that combine to form the coupled system dynamics: namely, catchment hydrology, population, economics, environment, socioeconomic sensitivity and collective response. The conceptual framework posits two novel constructs: (i) a composite socioeconomic driving variable, termed the Community Sensitivity state variable, which seeks to capture the perceived level of threat to a community's quality of life, and acts as a key link tying together one of the fundamental feedback loops of the coupled system, and (ii) a Behavioural Response variable as the observable feedback mechanism, which reflects land and water management decisions relevant to the hydrological context. The framework makes a further contribution through the introduction of three macroscale parameters that enable it to normalise for differences in climate, socioeconomic and political gradients across study sites. In this way, the framework provides for both macroscale contextual parameters, which allow for comparative studies to be undertaken, and catchment-specific conditions, by way of tailored "closure relationships", in order to ensure that site-specific and application-specific contexts of sociohydrologic problems can be accommodated. To demonstrate how such a framework would be applied, two sociohydrological case studies, taken from the Australian experience, are presented and the parameterisation approach that would be taken in each case is discussed. Preliminary findings in the case studies lend support to the conceptual theories outlined in the framework. It is envisioned that the application of this framework across study sites and gradients will aid in developing our understanding of the fundamental interactions and feedbacks in such complex human-hydrology systems, and allow hydrologists to improve social-ecological systems modelling through better representation of human feedbacks on hydrological processes.

“…Communities as local environments provide a set of risk and protective factors, which have an influence on the well-being of community members (Chaskin, 2008). As Gilligan (2000) points out, family support is about mobilising support 'in all the contexts in which children live their lives' and 'counteracting the corrosive potential of poverty and other harm that can befall children in disadvantaged communities' (p. 13).…”

Interfacing informal and formal help systems: Historical pathways to the Meitheal model

Meitheal is a national practice model which aims to ensure that the needs and strengths of children and their families are effectively identified, understood and responded to in a timely manner. The aim of this article is to consider some of the notable learning from the historical background and context in the development of children and family services. The discussion draws together four interrelated themes: the interaction between the voluntary and statutory 137 Unauthenticated Download Date | 5/13/18 1:16 AM systems, the interface of family and child oriented services, balancing formal and informal responses to child welfare, and early intervention and prevention services. The complexity of this endeavour is emphasised through identifying the core considerations required at the levels of Bronfenbrenner's ecological model. The article concludes with a commentary on how the future of child welfare in Ireland may be influenced through this attempt at a reorientation of children and family services towards early intervention, prevention, partnership and participation.
