Opis

This book explores the potential contribution that community-based research can make within social and economic regeneration programmes. The book demonstrates that community based research is an important part of regeneration in a number of ways. This book is important in highlighting the practice of community based research within an existing policy context that promotes participation, engagement and empowerment. This volume is an exploration of community based research and evaluation within the existing literature drawn from health, social welfare and evaluation fields. Secondly the book explores the regeneration context of Objective 1, South Yorkshire, discussing the community based research applied there to demonstrate the policy implications of using such approaches as part of regeneration initiatives.
