“…Moreover, a study by Low on procedural justice for public spaces [86] shows how minority groups within older people, such as migrants, were found reluctant to engage in participation processes. Linked to this, Van Hoose & Savini [85] conclude in their study that the need for a strong group identity carries the risk of exclusion. This may be especially the case for elderly people, in essence a more vulnerable group.…”

“…While communities with high social capital by definition are in a good position to achieve collective action, the stronger and more concrete their purpose, the more successful it can be. VanHoose & Savini [85] describe a common goal contributes to common identity and the maintenance of group integrity, essential when negotiating with formal institutions.…”

“…Both bonding and bridging social capital contribute to the belief in conjoint capabilities. The former increases internal capacity building and provides access to internal resources, while the latter helps to obtain resources unavailable within the group via intermediaries and experts [85]. According to Eriksson [42], certain community members, such as strong leaders, have an important role to play.…”

Background An important consequence of climate change for urban health is heat-related mortality. Vulnerable groups, especially elderly, will be the most affected. A solution put forward in many reports and policy documents is the introduction or expansion of urban green spaces. While they have a proven effect in decreasing the ambient temperature and reducing heat related mortality, the causal pathways are far from clear. Moreover, results vary for different contexts, population types and characteristics of green spaces as they are ‘complex systems thrusted into complex systems’. To our knowledge, there is no systematic synthesis of the literature that examines the mechanisms by which and the circumstances under which green spaces work to decrease heat-related mortality for elderly. Methods We performed a realist synthesis– a theory-driven review method– to develop a complexity- and context-sensitive program theory. As a first step, a causal loop diagram was constructed which describes the possible pathways through which urban green spaces influence heat-related mortality in elderly. In a second step, one of the pathways - how they may lead to a reduction of heat-related mortality by increasing social capital - was further explored for underlying mechanisms, the context in which they work and the differentiated patterns of outcomes they generate. Literature was searched for evidence supporting or contradicting the initial programme theory, resulting in a refined theory. Results Results show how urban green space can impact on heat-related mortality in elderly by its influence on their exposure to outdoor and indoor heat, by improving their resilience as well as by affecting their access to treatment. Urban green spaces and their interactions with social capital affect the access to health information, social support, and the capacity for effective lobbying. Several mechanisms help to explain these observed demi-regularities, among others perceived behavioural control, perceived usefulness, receptiveness, ontological security, and self-interest. If and how they are triggered depends on the characteristics of the urban green space, the population, and other contextual factors. Conclusion Looking into the impact of urban green spaces on heat-related mortality in elderly, researchers and policy makers should take interest in the role of social capital.

“…Identitas kolektif terdiri dari kesamaan secara intersubjektif, sebagai satu kesatuan yang tidak signifikan. Aktivitas papan seluncur dapat dianggap sebagai olahraga gaya hidup karena menarik kaum muda baik untuk aktivitas maupun konstruksi identitas sosial (McCormack & Clayton, 2017) juga diperlukannya identitas kolektif yang tujuannya untuk negosiasi keberadaan mereka terhadap ruang yang dimilikinya (VanHoose & Savini, 2017).…”

Bermain papan seluncur di zaman modern saat ini dianggap menjadi aktivitas karena hubungannya terhadap pengelolaan ruang yang dapat dipergunakan secara individu maupun kolektif oleh komunitas tertentu. Dalam proses perkembangan papan seluncur, komunitas spesifik akan memfungsikan ruang sebagai penanda diri yang berhubungan dengan identitas mereka. Artikel ini menjelaskan cara-cara Komunitas Patriot Skate Club 95 Kota Bekasi menghubungkan kelompok mereka dengan ruang di sekitar tempat mereka berada untuk memaknai identitas secara individu ataupun kolektif. Dengan metode kualitatif dan pendekatan etnografi, penelitian ini dilakukan melalui proses wawancara tidak terstruktur dan pendekatan literatur sehingga menghasilkan pemahaman berbeda mengenai ruang, komunitas dan identitas. Hasil temuan kami adalah, bahwa penggiat papan seluncur memahami tersedianya ruang publik sebagai sarana yang dapat dinikmati secara individu atau kolektif. Argumen kami adalah mempertanyakan kembali mengenai konstruksi identitas anak muda akan keberadaan mereka dalam ruang publik di Kota Bekasi. Dengan komunitas Patriot Skate Club 95 sebagai objeknya, mereka terhubung dengan ruang-ruang di sekitarnya, memanfaatkan ruang publik untuk membangun identitas individu maupun kokektif mereka, dan menumbuhkan rasa memiliki dari para anggotanya.

“…This perspective highlights how, more often than not, under current planning practices, agreements for urban redevelopment projects are reached in closed negotiations between municipal planners and private developers (Falleth, Hanssen, and Saglie 2010). This leaves grassroots initiatives at risk of permanent marginalization from such exclusionary urban policy processes (VanHoose and Savini 2017).…”

Upscaling without innovation: taking the edge off grassroot initiatives with scaling-up in Amsterdam’s Anthropocene forest

The article explores the extent to which the pressure to upscale grassroot planning initiatives can lead to the loss of their innovative potential. We advocate for the need to acknowledge the differentiated demands between community-involving pilot initiatives and grassroots initiatives when it comes to upscaling and argue that upscaling grassroots initiatives without loss of innovation takes more than just considering large-scale implementation right at the beginning of the initiative. Grounding our research on a grassroot artists and community initiative to transform a public space into an 'Anthropocene Forest' in Amsterdam, we show how current practices for scaling up grassroot initiatives are often more concerned with making grassroot actors and practices fit into existing planning institutions and practices, and less concerned with learning and reforming existing institutional practices. We contend that this currently dominant institutional approach to scaling up leads to a double loss: a loss of innovative characteristics of the grassroots initiatives themselves; and a loss of opportunities to imbue existing planning practices and institutions with new ideas and know-hows. The article explores potential ways out of this conundrum.
