Worship in the suburbs: the development experience of recent immigrant religious communitiesHoernig, Heidi January 2006 (has links)
Immigration is transforming large Canadian urban regions. Rapidly increasing religious diversity is one dimension of the dramatic, multicultural shift accompanying this sea-change. Over the past decade, many important questions have emerged concerning urban planning and management amidst ethnoracial diversity. The development of places of worship, key activity centres for many recent immigrant communities, intersects many of these questions. Land use conflict related to place of worship development has been a common feature of much of the empirical, urban literature. <br /><br /> This study explored the development experience of religious communities from five religions: Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism, in three suburban communities of the Greater Toronto Area: Mississauga, Brampton and Markham. The key objectives of the study were to compare experiences across minority religious groups in order to explore development issues, to better understand relationships between religion, culture and land use, and to examine municipal planning implications of and responses to religious diversity. <br /><br /> The study findings show that most place of worship development experiences have been characterized by adaptation rather than conflict. The findings reveal involved and nuanced stories about the development process in which many recent immigrant, minority religious communities participate. As such, the study highlights the inter-woven complexities and challenges of establishing these significant religious, cultural and social institutions, difficulties that cannot be easily teased apart to isolate one or two problematic variables. <br /><br /> In this way, the study findings accord with the recent urban literature on difference which argues that urban experiences of difference are simultaneously produced by structuring processes of political-economy and socially constructed by multi-faceted, changing subjects (Bridge & Watson, 2003; Eade & Mele, 2002; Jacobs & Fincher, 1998; Low, 1996). Findings show that minority place of worship development is constrained by suburban form, land use planning policy and land economics. At the same time, these constraints are differentially mediated by the resources and strategies of religious communities. Religion and culture play a role in the needs and experiences of place of worship development, but high or unconventional needs are not necessarily tied to challenging development experiences. <br /><br /> The study recommendations build upon the current normative literature in the broader field of multicultural planning. I argue that the common prescriptions set forward by multicultural planning advocates, such as improved cultural knowledge and communication in policy development and implementation are not sufficient to address the challenges of urban planning and management amidst religious and ethnoracial diversity. The study findings suggest that proponents of multicultural planning need to approach the challenges of diversity strategically, to reconsider points, means and agents of intervention. Study recommendations call for a return to the role of the planning expert, to proactively address key land use planning issues such as transportation planning and land use conflict before problems occur. Such a move would concomitantly benefit all community residents, not only those belonging to religious communities. This is because two of the more challenging dimensions of place of worship development: transportation planning and neighbour relations, are issues common to suburban land use development, regardless of the religion, ethnicity or race of the participants. Recommendations also suggest that multicultural planning must be a collective project, requiring the involvement of many actors, including urban academics, immigrant communities and their advocates, political and community leadership as well as urban practitioners both inside and outside of the municipal planning department.

Residential concentration, ethnic social networks and political participation : a mixed methods study of Black Africans in BritainGalandini, Silvia January 2014 (has links)
The impact of ethnic residential concentration on the process of integration of ethnic minorities into the mainstream society has been increasingly debated among both scholars and policy makers across Europe. This thesis seeks to contribute to this debate by addressing the effect of ethnic residential concentration on the political participation of Black Africans in Britain. The study pursues three main objectives: investigating the marginalising or mobilising impact of co-ethnic residential concentration on political participation; disentangling the processes underpinning this relationship by focusing on the effect of ethnic-based social networks, represented here by voluntary organisations, religious institutions and informal social networks; exploring the influence of the immigration-related heterogeneity that characterises the Black African community on the relationship between residential concentration, ethnic social networks and political participation. A mixed-method approach is adopted. The quantitative enquiry focuses on the Black African community as a whole and relies on secondary data drawn from the 2010 Ethnic Minority British Electoral Survey. The qualitative enquiry is based on primary data collected through face-to-face interviews and participant observation among Ghanaians and Somalis in London. The quantitative analysis shows that, among Black Africans, residential concentration has a mobilising effect on voter turnout but a marginalising effect on non-electoral participation. Ethnic social networks do not seem to mediate this relationship. Residential concentration is significantly, and positively, correlated to individual participation in ethnic places of worship and embeddedness in ethnic informal networks but not to involvement in ethnic organisations. In turn, the latter positively influences non-electoral engagement whereas ethnic places of worship and informal networks are not related to political engagement. The qualitative findings suggest that residential concentration is more relevant for the creation of and participation in ethnic organisations among Somalis than among Ghanaians. However, this relationship is likely to be influenced by other contextual factors such as institutional support, ethnic diversity and tribal homogeneity. Somali organisations also seem to play a more active political role than Ghanaian groups with regard to both electoral and non-electoral engagement. The two communities appear to be more similar when considering the relationship between ethnic religious institutions and informal connections with co-ethnics. These networks are not necessarily dependent on ethnic residential clustering and their effect on political engagement is primarily linked to informal political discussion. Overall, the results suggest that the relationship between residential concentration, ethnic social networks and political participation of Black Africans varies considerably between the two national groups researched, primarily due to their immigration-related characteristics, as well as across modes of political engagement (i.e. electoral, non-electoral) and local contexts.

Previous issue date: 2014-03-29 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The aim of this study is to investigate the historicity of Catholic religious culture in southwestern of Paraná and how such cultural codes became hegemonic in the region. This condition allowed them to advise and stay advising practices, representations anddiscourses of religion and religiosity. The starting point for the research were research experiences, which allowed the visuality about processuality of religion in the history of the region as well as of religion, manifested by Catholic religious practices, from oldest to most current. Stand out the rituals expressed in the many caves shrines and festivals that take place in places of worship across the region. The first two chapters were constructed to examine the nuances of the processes that historically established Catholicism as a religion in that hegemonic speciality, as well as its role in the reinvention of same after the 1940s - the "backwoods hillbilly" to "Brazilianized agricultural civilization". Thematizes it, in this sense, the political importance assumed by the Church in the communities that formed the region. To account for the action of the Church's power will be based on the analysis of theological and pedagogical discourses of the Church, present in documents such as the pastoral letters, magazine articles and newspapers. In this sense, we seek to understand both the inclusion of the institution on spiritual and political sense. The third phase will seek to realize the permanence and re - updates the practices of religiosity from the analysis of practices of piety and public places of Catholic worship in the region. Thematizes is, in this sense, the memories that circulate in such sites, which allow the flourishing of religious practices such as festivals and pilgrimages. From this research aims is reflect on the subjective and intersubjective dimensions that formed from the relationship between the Church and the faithful as those practicing their religion. To answer these questions launches hand to multiple references and sources, among these ecclesial discourses, witnessed experiments and analysis on the content of religious ritual and devotional practices / O objetivo desse estudo é investigar a historicidade da cultura religiosa católica no sudoeste do Paraná e como tais códigos culturais se tornaram hegemônicos na região. Tal condição os permitiu nortear e permanecer orientando práticas, representações e discursos de religião e religiosidade. O ponto de partida para a pesquisa foram as experiências de pesquisa, as quais permitiram a visualidade acerca da processualidade da religião na história da região bem como a da religiosidade, manifesta por meio das práticas religiosas católicas, das mais antigas até as mais atuais. Destacam-se os rituais expressos nas muitas grutas, santuários e romarias que acontecem em lugares de devoção espalhados pela região. Os dois primeiros capítulos foram construídos para se analisar as nuances dos processos que historicamente estabeleceram o catolicismo enquanto religião hegemônica na referida espacialidade, bem como o seu papel na reinvenção da mesma após a década de 1940 de sertão caboclo a civilização agrícola abrasileirada . Tematiza-se, nesse sentido, a importância política assumida pela Igreja junto às comunidades que se formavam pela região. A abordagem acerca da ação do poder eclesial se dará a partir da análise de discursos teológico-pedagógicos da Igreja, presentes em documentos como as cartas pastorais, artigos de revistas e jornais. Nesse sentido, busca-se perceber tanto a inserção da Instituição no sentido espiritual quanto político. O terceiro momento buscará perceber as permanências e re-atualizações das práticas de religiosidade a partir da análise de práticas de devoção e de lugares públicos de devoção católica presentes na região. Tematiza-se, nesse sentido, as memórias que circulam em tais locais, as quais permitem o aflorar de práticas religiosas como as romarias e as peregrinações. A partir da presente pesquisa visa-se refletir acerca das dimensões subjetivas e intersubjetivas que se constituíram a partir da relação entre a Igreja e os fieis quanto esses praticam a sua religiosidade. Para responder essas questões lança-se mão de múltiplas referências e fontes, dentre essas os discursos eclesiais, as experiências testemunhadas e análises sobre o teor ritual das práticas religiosas e devocionais

Les églises et les bâtiments à caractère religieux de Montréal : de la francisation à la patrimonialisation / Montreal churches and buildings of religious character : from francization to patrimonializationBernier, Lyne 13 February 2015 (has links)
Depuis sa fondation, la présence religieuse marque indéniablement Montréal ; son paysage urbain est ainsi porteur d'une identité distinctive. Les églises et les bâtiments à caractère religieux catholiques et leurs sites — objets de notre thèse — forment effectivement une partie importante de son paysage construit ; ils génèrent du sens et ancrent des valeurs symboliques.Ils ont été déterminants dans la structuration du territoire montréalais en plus de contribuer àforger l'identité de la plus grande ville francophone en Amérique du Nord.La diffusion du catholicisme a été tributaire de la constitution d'un réseau paroissial d'une part, puis le foisonnement des oeuvres des congrégations religieuses a permis d'autre part de consolider l'action catholique dans des quartiers marqués par une forte présence anglicane et protestante. Depuis, la multiplication des églises a façonné cette géographie religieuse unique qui témoigne en outre des mécanismes à la base des phases d'urbanisation de la métropole duQuébec. Par conséquent, le palimpseste ainsi constitué se révèle à travers son organisation territoriale et dans l'architecture des églises et des bâtiments à caractère religieux.Aujourd'hui, la conservation et la mise en valeur de ce patrimoine bâti constituent des enjeux fondamentaux de la pratique urbanistique. La privatisation de plusieurs de ces sites et leur affectation à des usages peu appropriés pour supporter leurs valeurs symboliques etpatrimoniales initiales peuvent miner la capacité de faire sens du paysage urbain en oblitérantun certain nombre des repères qui permettaient autrefois sa compréhension.Notre thèse est construite autour de trois grandes périodes. La première relate la structuration et l'expansion des représentations de la catholicité francophone dans le paysage montréalais ;la seconde est caractérisée par la diffusion de nouvelles représentations catholiques qui correspondent à de nouveaux enjeux identitaires ; enfin, la dernière période rend compte des aléas de la patrimonialisation des églises qui s'amorce au cours des années 1970. / Montreal, since its inception, has undoubtedly been marked by the religious presence; the resulting urban landscape thus bears a distinctive identity. Churches and buildings of religious character, and their sites—objects of this dissertation—certainly form a major part of the city’s built landscape; they generate sense and deeply rooted symbolic values. Above being paramount in structuring the territory of Montreal, they contribute in forging the identity ofthe largest Francophone city in North America. The spreading of Catholicism was based on the establishment of a parochial network, and the wealth of religious congregations’ works intensified the catholic action in neighbourhoods marked by a large Anglican and Protestant population. From then on, the proliferation of church buildings has modeled this exceptional religious topography that also exposes the mechanisms underlying the various urbanization stages of Quebec’s metropolis. Consequently, this palimpsest reveals itself through its territorial organization and thearchitecture of its churches and buildings of religious character. Modern town planning practices must take into account these fundamental issues of preservation and valorization of the built heritage. Privatizing some of these sites and adapting them to uses not really suited to their initial symbolic and heritage values may subvert the capacity to make sense of the urban landscape by obliterating a number of landmarks that formerly facilitated its understanding. This doctoral research revolves around three great periods. The first one considers the forming and expansion of Francophone Catholicity representations in Montreal’s landscape; the second period is characterized by the dissemination of new catholic representations that correspond to new identity-related issues; and the last period recounts the vagaries of the church heritagization process initiated in the seventies.

Les relations entre l'Église et l'État dans l'Hérault de 1900 à 1926Malhey-Dupart, Cécile 20 March 2010 (has links)
Cette étude, qui ne cherche par l’exhaustivité, se présente plutôt comme un « état des lieux », à l’échelle départementale, de l’impact des relations Église/État sur l’opinion. Elle décrit les prises de position, les réactions et des démarches pour ou contre la politique de l’État face à l’Église durant plus de vingt-cinq ans. La période étudiée, qui s’étend de 1900 à 1926, débute à la mise en place des lois contre les congrégations religieuses et des mesures de laïcisation de l’espace public qui font suite à la politique anticléricale largement entamée au cours du siècle précédent. Elle se termine avec la condamnation de l’Action française par le Vatican et la fin du Cartel des Gauches. Elle passe également par la loi de Séparation de l’Eglise et de l’Etat de 1905 et par la Première Guerre mondiale, quand les curés devinrent frères d’armes. L’Hérault apparaît comme un département contrasté, à forte composante anticléricale mais où la religion garde néanmoins toute sa place. En effet, dans ce département réputé appartenir au « Midi rouge » et qui aurait dû, si on se fie à cette « image d’Epinal », soutenir dans son ensemble la politique anticléricale du gouvernement radical-socialiste, la résistance a pu parfois atteindre la passion et présenter les mêmes péripéties que dans des régions réputées de tradition catholique et conservatrice. / This study is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather a description of the impact of the relations between Church and State on public opinion in the Hérault department. It presents the various stances, reactions and steps taken in favour of, or against, state policies concerning the Church over a period of more than twenty-five years. The period investigated, between 1900 and 1926, starts with the enactment of the laws against religious institutions and the measures taken to secularise the public domain, following on from the anticlerical policies begun during the previous century, and ends with the condemnation of “Action Française” by the Vatican and the demise of the “Left Wing Cartel”. It also includes the separation of Church and State in 1905 and World War I, during which priests served in the French army. There were marked differences of belief in the Hérault department where there was not only a strong anti-clerical movement but also great importance attached to religion. For, in this department, well-known as a “red” department, resistance to the above measures could reach passionate heights similar to those in some areas known for their Catholic and conservative traditions.

Разработка проекта строительства культового объекта в процессе редевелопмента промышленной территории : магистерская диссертация / Development of a project for the construction of a cult object in the process of redevelopment of an industrial territoryШевелева, А. Е., Sheveleva, A. E. January 2020 (has links)
Структура магистерской диссертации включает в себя введение, три главы, заключение, список использованной литературы, приложения. В работе рассматриваются культовые объекты в качестве бренда территории, а также изучение степени влияния гражданской активности горожан на градостроительные решения. Выявлены социально – экономические проблемы развития выбранной территории, отличающиеся для города миллионника острым дефицитом свободных для строительства земельных участков и необходимости включения механизма редевелопмента. На основе анализа вариантов развития территории предложен девелоперский проект, включающий в себя храм, отличающийся грамотным расположением, что повышает комфортность проживания жителей города. Рассмотрен анализ окружения, варианты размещения. Приводится оценка эффективности проекта по строительству храма, формируется социальная нацеленность проекта, включающая в себя ряд социальных эффектов, а также затронут вопрос самоокупаемости текущей деятельности объекта как некоммерческой организации. В заключении сформулированы основные выводы и обобщены результаты исследования. / The structure of the master's thesis includes an introduction, three chapters, conclusion, bibliography, applications. The work examines cult objects as a brand of the territory, as well as the study of the degree of influence of citizens' civic engagement on urban planning decisions. The socio-economic problems of the development of the selected territory, which are distinguished for the city of a million with an acute shortage of free land plots for construction and the need to include a redevelopment mechanism. Based on the analysis of the options for the development of the territory, a development project has been proposed, which includes a temple, which is distinguished by a competent location, which increases the comfort of living for residents of the city. The analysis of the environment, placement options are considered. An assessment of the effectiveness of the project for the construction of the temple is given, the social orientation of the project is formed, which includes a number of social effects, and the question of the self-sufficiency of the current activity of the object as a non-profit organization is raised. In the conclusion, the main conclusions are formulated and the results of the study are summarized.
