Culture is a living thing. In social settings it is often used to represent entire ways of life including rules values and expected behavior. Varying from nation to nation neighborhood to neighborhood and beyond even in the smallest localities culture is a motivating factor in the creation of social identity and serves as a basis for creating cohesion and solidarity. This book explores the intersection of culture and community as a basis for locally and regionally based development by focusing on three core bodies of literature: theory research and practice. The first section theory uncovers some of the relevant historical arguments as well as more contemporary examinations. Continuing the research section sheds light on some of the key concepts variables and relationships present in the limited study of culture in community development. Finally the practice section brings together research and theory into applied examples from on the ground efforts. During a time where the interest to retain the uniqueness of local life traditions and culture is significantly increasing in community-based development the authors offer a global exploration of the impacts of culturally based development with comparative analysis in countries such as Korea Ireland and the United States. A must-read for community development planners policymakers students and researchers.
