“…A stokvel is an informal stock fair arrangement, a spaza is a small, makeshift groceries shop often operated from a room in a residence and a shebeen is an unlicensed bar or nightclub in a residential surrounding. Original expositions in relation to urban life of the terms gemeinschaft and gesellschaft can be found in T6nnies (1963), while localistic and cosmopolitan interactions are discussed by Zimmerman (1938). 17.…”

“…Um desses casos é uma comunidade na Nova Inglaterra, à qual Homans recorre para discutir processos de desintegração social (suas fontes para esse caso são Zimmerman [1938] e Hatch [1948]). O espaço permanece categoria subjacente, embora os dados permitam suspeitar que a época em que os habitantes "desbravaram" o território e se responsabilizaram pela sua estrutura física foi a de maior coesão interna e autonomia política, ao passo que a decadência do grupo coincidiu com paulatina interferência dos governos estadual e federal nesse território.…”

R e s u m o : O conceito de grupo sócio-espacial proposto neste artigo visa à reflexão crítica de pesquisas e práticas de assessoria técnica em Arquitetura, Urbanismo e Planejamento. Ele designa grupos para os quais o espaço é constitutivo e que, inversamente, constituem (produzem) espaço. Parte-se da premissa de que a assessoria técnica -à diferença do assistencialismo -deve fortalecer a autonomia desses grupos. O primeiro item explica o contexto da discussão e a diferença entre noções e conceitos (teóricos). O segundo, argumenta o porquê de a assessoria técnica precisar ultrapassar noções como cliente, usuário, beneficiário ou comunidade. O terceiro, explora abordagens de grupos sociais pela sociologia, para mostrar que o conceito de grupos sócio-espaciais não é tautológico nem apenas incremental. O último item exemplifica e sintetiza abordagens de assessorias técnicas que trabalham, refletidamente, com grupos sócio-espaciais, isto é, que dispõem de um conceito para compreender e discutir a quem elas servem. P a l a v r a s -c h a v e : Assessoria técnica; Grupo social; Pesquisa sócio-espacial; Autonomia; Produção do espaço. A b s t r a c t : The concept of socio-spatial groups proposed in this paper

“…Nevertheless, comparative historical studies have been a major stream of research throughout the history of rural sociology. Many early American rural sociological studies focused on the growth and change of rural resource-based communities and trade centers (e.g., [31,72,73]; see also work cited in [74]). Based on the 1980 and 1990 U.S. Census data, Nord and Luloff [15] found the effects of mining dependence on local socioeconomic wellbeing varied across both time and geographic regions.…”

Changing Community Variations in Perceptions and Activeness in Response to the Spruce Bark Beetle Outbreak in Alaska

Local sociocultural processes including community perceptions and actions represent the most visible social impacts of various economic and environmental changes. Comparative community analysis has been used to examine diverse community perspectives on a variety of socioeconomic and environmental issues. However, as the temporal dimension of community processes remains understudied, relatively little is known regarding how such community variations change over time. This study draws on longitudinal survey data from six communities on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska to explore temporal shifts in community differences in perceptions and activeness in response to forest disturbance associated with an extensive spruce bark beetle outbreak. The surveys were implemented in two phases over a 4-year study period. Results show that while community perceptions on the bark beetle condition waned and coalesced in some ways, significant differences remained or emerged with respect to other facets of local reactions. These shifting variances in community dimensions of the beetle disturbance were related to community positions along the beetle outbreak timeline and general community socioeconomic and biophysical situations (community context). The analysis also revealed community differences and contexts held an even more important role in predicting local responses to beetles in the re-survey. Taken together, findings from this research contribute a better understanding of the persistence and change in community variability as well as the continuity of community contextual effects.
