Adolescence is an uphill struggle. Research abundantly displays that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have a distinct and detrimental effect on adolescents and their development. Recent research has explored the perspectives, thoughts, behaviours, and beliefs of helping professionals who integrate spirituality into their work with adolescents. The purpose of this qualitative study is to develop a thematic analysis of helping professionals’ narratives of care with this population. The narratives of helping professionals’ care of adolescent males with ACEs points to the desire to connect with spiritual community and to make meaning. Helping professionals’ narratives also highlight the constraints of locating spirituality. Theological reflection on parrhesia focuses on developing open, unencumbered discussion as an ethical, professional, and spiritually-sensitive form of integration. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

This thesis examines residential relocation process within the Seoul Metropolitan Region (SMR) in the Republic of Korea at both a macro and micro level. The thesis makes theoretical and methodological contributions to residential mobility, housing vacancy chains and location choice behaviour in urban geography. The empirical study specifically focused on the relationship between housing opportunity and residential relocation process in the SMR during the 1990s. In developing countries, large scale suburban land and housing development on the fringe of metropolitan areas is seen as an important issue in the process of rapid urbanization and capital accumulation. This is particularly true of Korea where the population of the capital city, Seoul (SCC) has declined since the introduction of massive scale of new suburban housing developments in the 1990s. This is the first time the SCC’s population has decreased in Korean modern history. However there is still debate about the impact of government proposed suburban new housing construction initiatives on residential relocation within the SMR. In addition there remain uncertainties concerning the impact of large suburban housing development on residential relocation behaviour. To date little evaluation of outcomes of the policies has been undertaken, a deficiency which this research seeks to address. Like other capital cities in the developing world, Seoul (SCC) has undergone significant urban expansion throughout its contemporary history, fuelled by the movement of refugees from North Korea in the period immediately following the end of the Korean War (1953) and by significant rural-to-urban, and later by intra urban movement. The SCC, in particular grew significantly, with the metropolitan area of Seoul soon expanding beyond its borders in a process akin to suburbanisation. The rapid urban growth in the Seoul Metropolitan Region (SMR) was accompanied by a series of urban problems including housing shortages, a decline in housing and urban quality, and the concentration of population in large cities, especially in the SCC. To counter these problems the national government in the Republic of Korea initiated a series of policies. Most prominently among these was a massive scale new housing development program initiated in 1988, aimed at developing large scale new satellite cites in Kyonggi, with the objective of decentralising the SCC’s population and thus alleviating an urban housing shortage. This research focuses on two main issues charactering contemporary housing and land development policies in the SMR. The first relates to government efforts to redirect migration from the capital city, Seoul, to the outlying jurisdictions of Kyonggi and Inchon in an attempt to diffuse the concentration of population in the SCC and to alleviate housing shortages. The second issue concerns the determinants of residential mobility and residential location choice behaviour in the SMR. Mirroring the two issues, two approaches have been used to address these issues: a macro level study of residential relocation and a micro behavioural analysis. At macro level the research attempts to measure the impact of new housing developments on easing urban housing markets in the SMR during the 1990s, notwithstanding the continuous population movement from other regions in the Republic of Korea. The macro investigation addresses the questions: • What are the changes in spatial mobility patterns occurring in the SMR since the introduction of government’s suburban residential developments? • Are the size of housing vacancy chains different by spatial mobility patterns among the three regional housing markets in the SMR? Multi-regional vacancy chain models are used to examine whether vacant housing opportunity spills over into neighbouring regions in the SMR, particularly the city of Seoul. The models focus mainly on the structural determinants of household mobility, such as local new housing construction, household formation, household mobility rate and demolition rate, and their role in creating and absorbing vacant housing opportunities in the three jurisdictions comprising the SMR: Seoul (SCC), Kyonggi and Inchon. The vacancy chain analysis uses a Markov chain model and Leontief input-output model to assess the impact of these structural differentials on household mobility in the multiregional system of the SMR. This macro study provides a structural framework for the subsequent micro behavioural approach to residential mobility occurring in the SMR. The micro behavioural approach investigates the following questions: • What are the socio demographic profiles of people who relocate within the SMR?’ • What are the housing transitions that occur after moving to regions of the SCC in the SMR? • What are the reasons households give for moving within the SMR? This micro approach focuses on the behavioural aspects of residential mobility decision process as influenced by age, marital status, employment status, education level, duration of residence, dwelling size and tenure status. Apart from the mover’s socio demographic profile, the study further investigates longitudinal housing transitions before and after a move by their origin and destination within the SMR, particularly those movers who relocated to suburban rings (Kyonggi/Inchon). However the reasons for movers to choose a particular location vary and they are socio demographically diverse. The research also discusses these behavioural reasons for moving within the SMR.

本研究旨在探討：台北縣五所社區大學的成立經過的情形為何？藉由台北縣社區大學一開始的成立過程，探討民間、地方、中央三方的互動過程；台北縣五所社區大學的發展做為一種社會運動，具有什麼樣的意義？而在這樣的成立過程中，國家（包括地方：如台北縣政府、縣議會，和中央：如教育部、立法院）與民間社會的互動如何？意義又是什麼？ 本研究採質性研究法，以文件分析法及深度訪談法進行，研究的範圍限定於由黃武雄教授策畫的五所社大：永和、板橋、新莊、蘆洲、汐止，而起迄約從黃武雄教授一開始提出構想，到五所社大開學為止。根據這些研究方法所獲得的資料，研究者試圖回答上述問題。 研究結果發現：台北縣社區大學之發展經過可分為四期：萌芽期、籌備期、關鍵期與搶救期；對北縣社區大學成立經過做分析發現，社大做為一種社會運動，屬於台灣新興的社會運動後起的一支，其蓬勃發展有其社會背景和情勢，因素包括：台灣知識份子的反省、終身學習風潮促使國家釋放資源、社區大學延續四一０的訴求、提供各社運一個發展的施力點；而它的社運特色從社區大學的實際籌備和理念號召中都可以看出，但這也預示了社區大學將面臨的問題，例如與國家的關係複雜矛盾、理想與現實的距離難拉近，社大如何走的更穩健等等；在北縣社大與國家的互動分析方面，首先分析社會運動者眼中的『國家』面貌，包括地方首長、地方政府、地方議會、中央政府（主要是教育部和立法委員）等幾個面向，而對推動社大的民間改革者而言，希望國家所扮演的角色主要是下放國家教育權，轉化為國民教育權的方向：排除國家對於教育內部事項的介入，讓教育的內容決定權還給人民，負起教育『外部事項』整備的義務，做資源上的合理分配，以保障人民的權利。 研究者建議：社大的在發展過程上要注意到的是民眾學習文化的改變與成長，和對於弱勢團體的重視和在地社區的經營，在不犧牲理想性和前瞻性的前提下求取民眾的支持，以及與各級政府間的關係該如何運作以維持一個適當的空間；以民間社會的力量要求國家的配合，但是也能以體制的保障換取發展的前景；研究者最後對本研究限制進行討論並對未來後續的研究提供些許建議。

Buscase, por meio delas, encontrar formas de reduzir os quadros de degradação física e social representados pelas favelas. Nas intervenções voltadas para a recuperação das áreas ocupadas informalmente, têmse praticado diversas estratégias de promoção social através de ações integradas. Algumas experiências vêm sendo destacadas no cenário nacional, e uma delas é o Programa Ribeira Azul, implementado pelo Governo do Estado da Bahia, na cidade de Salvador, em parceria com outros organismos nacionais e internacionais. Esta dissertação descreve esse Programa integrado, implementado na capital baiana, onde está localizada uma das piores formas de moradia, representada pelas palafitas. O trabalho mostrará também que as dificuldades de acesso à infra estrutura e aos serviços sociais básicos não enfraqueceram os moradores, que, com determinação, fortaleceram os seus vínculos organizativos, desenvolveram formas de minimizar os principais problemas cotidianos e vêm desenvolvendo, juntamente com o poder público, projetos de intervenção para melhorar a qualidade de vida. Também serão apresentadas as experiências e as formas de parceria estabelecidas, que visam a fortalecer as organizações comunitárias e dar prosseguimento ao processo de desenvolvimento social da região. / The many interventions in urban areas in degradation in any large metropolis have been the object of a number of studies and discussions, by means of which it is aimed to find ways of reducing the condition of both social and physical degradation, represented by slums or shanty towns. By intervening to recover areas informally occupied, several strategies of social promotion through integrated actions have been put into practice. Some of those stand out nationally, such as "Programa Ribeira Azul", implemented by the State of Bahia in the city of Salvador, in partnership with domestic and foreign organisms. This thesis describes the integrated Programme in question in Salvador, where one of the worst and most degrading forms of dwelling persists: houses on stilts. This work also highlights the power of people from such areas to overcome the difficulties of access to infrastructure and basic social services, people who strengthened their organizational bonds so as to create ways of minimizing their everyday problems; together with the authorities in charge, they develop projects to improve their quality of life. The experiences throughout and the forms of partnership which fortified the community organizations, as well as the process of social development in the area, are also presented.

Manifesting itself more strongly from the 1960s. As if that were showing the contradictions of the housing areas were formed in space for popular mobilization and organization, to meet consumption requirements formulated by industrialization. Based on this understanding this study focused on the purpose of evaluating the participatory strategy Project São José of Agricultural Mechanization in the city of Jardim in the State of Ceará. As such, it posed the question: The project includes São José in the process of formulating and implementing the concepts of holding referred to in your strategy? In this sense, through a qualitative approach, and the use of quantitative-oriented and quality was initiated research work which was conducted in eight local farmers. The research was conducted with 113 farm families and 15 staff representatives from institutions / entities. The evaluation result suggests that participation in the São José Project is not effective in all its stages, a fact only identified at the time of release of funds by signing the agreement (Association and State). Yet still indicates limitations with regard to the degree of awareness, social organization and training of persons involved in the program. / O fenômeno da participação nas políticas públicas começa a se desenhar na década de 1950, quando se instalam no Brasil a tendência consumista e as práticas do desenvolvimento de comunidade que inicialmente surgem como meio de efetivar a política de modernização. Manifestam-se mais fortemente a partir da década de 1960. À medida que foram se evidenciando contradições sociais, as áreas de moradias foram se constituindo em espaços para a mobilização e organização popular, para atender às exigências de consumo formuladas pela industrialização. Com o propósito de compreender este fenômeno, este estudo pretendeu avaliar a estratégia participativa do Projeto São José de Mecanização Agrícola, no Município de Jardim, no Estado do Ceará. Para tanto, levantou-se a seguinte questão: o projeto São José incorpora em sua formulação e execução os conceitos de participação previstos em sua estratégia? Neste sentido, mediante uma abordagem qualitativa e a utilização de instrumentos de cunho quantitativo/qualitativo, foi dado início ao trabalho de pesquisa, o qual foi realizado em oito associações de agricultores familiares. A pesquisa foi realizada com 113 famílias de agricultores e 15 agentes representantes de instituições/entidades. O resultado da avaliação sugere que a participação no Projeto São José não se efetiva em todas as suas etapas, fato só identificado no momento da liberação dos recursos, mediante a assinatura do convênio (Associação e Estado). Mesmo assim, ainda indica limitações no que se refere ao grau de conscientização, organização social e capacitação dos sujeitos envolvidos no programa.
