This case study showed that land-use and transport planning in South Africa are not successfully integrated. In addition, the institutional arrangements governing land-use and transport planning are not properly aligned and operate in silos. This study investigated various mechanisms that can be used to successfully integrate land-use and transport planning. The main purpose of this study was to find the common key features of successful integrated land-use and transport planning. The study was based on a case study method. The data was collected from secondary sources in three widely-acclaimed international cities that have implemented land-use and transport planning. The major finding of the study was that successful integration of land-use and transport planning are centred on a catalytic city-wide public transport network improvement project. All three international case studies (Curitiba, Portland and Copenhagen) that were studied, have successfully integrated its land-use and transport planning, and had a catalytic public transport network project at its core. The study concluded that, to be successful, the integration of land-use and transport planning need to be centred on a catalytic city-wide public transport network improvement project.

In the Northwest Territories, there is a growing demand for knowledge about the effectiveness of land-based programs (GNWT Social Services Research Agenda, 2017). Project Jewel is a community-driven, land-based healing program in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) that is run by the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation (IRC). My thesis, which is written in the two-publishable paper format, presents community-based research with Inuvialuit in the ISR. In paper one, we used postcolonial theory, a decolonization framework, and critical Inuit studies to approach an examination of how an evaluation of Project Jewel could promote cultural safety. The findings enabled us to create an evaluation framework that included centring the land, building relationships, working with words and pictures, and promoting benefits while minimizing harms through aftercare as elements identified by Project Jewel participants and staff that would enhance the likelihood of the evaluation being culturally safe. In paper two, we used the same methodology and theoretical approach to examine the elements of success and benefits of participation in Project Jewel. The findings identified that the elements of success for Project Jewel included Inuvialuit cultural practices, local programming, distraction and judgement free environment, confidentiality, and comfort and support. The benefits of participating in Project Jewel included (re)connection to land, culture, identity and heritage, strengthened systems of social support, and enhanced skills and self-esteem. Together, the two papers contribute to the further development of land-based programs for Inuvialuit in a way that is determined and led by Inuvialuit and their values. They demonstrate that land-based programs like Project Jewel can contribute to processes of decolonization and healing among Inuit that hold implications for improving/supporting positive health and wellbeing.
