Abstract

Aim: The aim of this concept paper is to identify a conceptual framework to investigate the level of social bonding/social attachment amongst participants of community gardening activity. It is estimated that more than 50% of the population would be living in urban areas by 2050. One of the drivers is the urban migration, where people are relocating themselves to new neighbourhoods, cities or countries often with the hope of better economic opportunities and social infrastructure, therefore changing the landscape of the new society and the place they reside. It is worrying as these people might not receive enough social support due to their limited social network. It could further escalate to social well-being problems such as individualism and social isolation and could later manifest mentally or psychologically as loneliness. Methodology and Results: This paper argues that the selection of the type of urban green spaces to be integrated into urban neighbourhoods is critical in addressing the well-being problems. Community gardens, as part of urban green spaces, offer meaningful social interaction opportunities, often being missed in the context of modern societies and urban lifestyle. Therefore, there is a need to review the effects of community gardening activities as an intervention strategy to strengthen the degree of social bonding to identify its capacity in integrating isolated people back into community life. Conclusion, significance and impact study: As a conclusion, urban designers and policymakers are suggested to adopt community gardens as a safe open space in cities to encourage more people-people-places interaction.

社区园艺和丰富城市社区社会联系的能力
目的:这篇概念论文的目的是确定一个概念框架来调查社区园艺活动参与者之间的社会联系/社会依恋水平。据估计,到2050年,超过50%的人口将生活在城市地区。其中一个驱动因素是城市移民,人们将自己搬迁到新的社区、城市或国家,往往希望获得更好的经济机会和社会基础设施,因此改变了新社会的景观和他们居住的地方。这些人的社交网络有限,可能得不到足够的社会支持,这令人担忧。它可能进一步升级为社会福利问题,如个人主义和社会孤立,后来可能在精神上或心理上表现为孤独。方法与结果:本文认为,选择融入城市社区的城市绿地类型对于解决福祉问题至关重要。社区花园作为城市绿地的一部分,提供了有意义的社会互动机会,但在现代社会和城市生活方式的背景下往往被忽视。因此,有必要审查社区园艺活动作为一种加强社会联系程度的干预策略的效果,以确定其将孤立的人重新融入社区生活的能力。结论、意义及影响研究:作为结论,建议城市设计师和政策制定者在城市中采用社区花园作为安全的开放空间,以鼓励更多的人-人-地互动。
