Purpose: The general objective of this study was to investigate the effect of urbanization on community social networks and support systems. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the effect of urbanization on community social networks and support systems. Preliminary empirical review revealed that urbanization significantly fragmented traditional social networks, leading to isolation and reduced informal support systems. However, it also identified opportunities for developing formal support mechanisms through government services, NGOs, and community-based initiatives, enhanced by technology. The study emphasized the importance of inclusive urban policies and thoughtful design to foster social cohesion, suggesting that intentional planning could build resilient and supportive urban communities, ultimately improving residents' quality of life. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social Capital Theory, Systems Theory and Social Network Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the effect of urbanization on community social networks and support systems. The study recommended integrating social capital, systems, and social network theories into urban studies, prioritizing the creation of communal spaces, and implementing community-based programs to foster social ties. It advocated for policies ensuring equitable access to social infrastructure, preserving cultural practices, and leveraging technology to enhance social connectivity and support services. Additionally, it emphasized building resilient and inclusive communities, addressing social inequalities, and adopting a holistic approach to urban development to mitigate the negative impacts of rapid urbanization.
目的:本研究的总体目标是调查城市化对社区社会网络和支持系统的影响。研究方法:本研究采用案头研究方法。案头研究指的是二手数据或无需实地考察即可收集到的数据。案头研究基本上是从现有资源中收集数据,因此与实地研究相比,案头研究通常被认为是一种低成本技术,因为主要成本涉及执行人员的时间、电话费和目录。因此,本研究依赖于已出版的研究、报告和统计数据。这些二手数据可通过在线期刊和图书馆轻松获取。研究结果:研究结果表明,在城市化对社区社会网络和支持系统的影响方面存在背景和方法上的差距。初步的实证审查显示,城市化极大地割裂了传统的社会网络,导致孤立和非正式支持系统的减少。不过,研究也发现了通过政府服务、非政府组织和以社区为基础的倡议发展正式支持机制的机会,并通过技术加以强化。研究强调了包容性城市政策和深思熟虑的设计对促进社会凝聚力的重要性,表明有意识的规划可以建设具有弹性和支持性的城市社区,最终提高居民的生活质量。对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:社会资本理论、系统理论和社会网络理论可用于今后有关城市化对社区社会网络和支持系统影响的研究。研究建议将社会资本理论、系统理论和社会网络理论纳入城市研究,优先考虑创建公共空间,并实施基于社区的计划来促进社会联系。研究提倡制定政策,确保公平使用社会基础设施,保护文化习俗,利用技术加强社会联系和支持服务。此外,它还强调建设具有复原力和包容性的社区,解决社会不平等问题,并对城市发展采取综合方法,以减轻快速城市化带来的负面影响。

Purpose: The general objective of this study was to examine youth employment and social exclusion. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to youth employment and social exclusion. Preliminary empirical review revealed that youth unemployment had profound socio-economic and psychological impacts, contributing to cycles of disadvantage and social exclusion. It highlighted the inadequacies of labor market structures and educational systems in preparing young people for employment and emphasized the need for comprehensive policy responses addressing both supply and demand sides of the labor market. The study also underscored the importance of tackling structural inequalities affecting marginalized groups and recommended inclusive, equitable policies to ensure all young people had access to employment opportunities. Overall, it called for a holistic approach to mitigate the effects of youth unemployment and promote social inclusion. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Human Capital Theory, Social Exclusion Theory and Structural Strain Theory may be used to anchor future studies on youth unemployment and social exclusion. This study provided practical insights for educators and community organizations on aligning curricula with labor market demands and implementing mentorship programs. Policy recommendations included integrated economic, educational, and social interventions, active labor market programs, and mental health support services. The study emphasized the importance of social inclusion through community engagement and digital inclusion, addressed structural inequalities with quality education and social protection systems, and promoted collaborative efforts among stakeholders for sustainable impact.
目的:本研究的总体目标是探讨青年就业和社会排斥问题。研究方法:本研究采用案头研究方法。案头研究指的是二手数据或无需实地考察即可收集的数据。案头研究基本上是从现有资源中收集数据,因此,与实地研究相比,案头研究通常被认为是一种低成本技术,因为主要成本涉及执行人员的时间、电话费和目录。因此,本研究依赖于已出版的研究、报告和统计数据。这些二手数据可通过在线期刊和图书馆轻松获取。研究结果:研究结果表明,在青年就业和社会排斥问题上存在着背景和方法上的差距。初步的实证审查表明,青年失业会产生深远的社会经济和心理影响,导致弱势和社会排斥的循环。研究强调了劳动力市场结构和教育体系在帮助青年做好就业准备方面的不足,并强调需要针对劳动力市场的供需双方采取全面的政策应对措施。研究还强调了解决影响边缘化群体的结构性不平等问题的重要性,并建议采取包容、公平的政策,确保所有年轻人都能获得就业机会。总之,研究呼吁采取综合方法,减轻青年失业的影响,促进社会包容。对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:人力资本理论、社会排斥理论和结构压力理论可用于今后有关青年失业和社会排斥的研究。这项研究为教育工作者和社区组织提供了实用的见解,使课程与劳动力市场需求相一致,并实施导师计划。政策建议包括综合的经济、教育和社会干预措施、积极的劳动力市场计划以及心理健康支持服务。该研究强调了通过社区参与和数字包容实现社会包容的重要性,通过优质教育和社会保障体系解决结构性不平等问题,并促进利益相关者之间的合作,以实现可持续影响。

Purpose: The general objective of this study was to investigate the influence of religious beliefs on social behaviour and community cohesion. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the influence of religious beliefs on social behaviour and community cohesion. Preliminary empirical review revealed that religious beliefs had a profound impact on social behavior and community cohesion, acting as both a unifying and dividing force. While shared religious practices fostered strong internal cohesion and promoted prosocial behaviors, they also led to social fragmentation and exclusion due to in-group favoritism and out-group discrimination. The study highlighted the importance of inclusive policies and interfaith initiatives to mitigate these negative effects and promote mutual understanding. Ultimately, it emphasized the need to balance the positive contributions of religion to social cohesion with efforts to minimize its divisive impacts, fostering more harmonious communities. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Identity Theory, Theory of Planned Behaviour and Social Capital Theory may be used to anchor future studies on the influence of religious beliefs on social behaviour and community cohesion. This study suggested expanding existing theories to better account for the diverse impacts of religious beliefs, fostering inclusive religious practices through interfaith dialogue, and developing policies to promote religious tolerance and cooperation. The study also emphasized the importance of community engagement through interfaith activities, addressing social exclusion by ensuring inclusivity, and implementing ongoing monitoring and evaluation to sustain positive impacts. These recommendations aimed to enhance theoretical frameworks, practical initiatives, and policy measures to maximize the beneficial effects of religious beliefs on social cohesion.
目的:本研究的总体目标是调查宗教信仰对社会行为和社区凝聚力的影响。研究方法:本研究采用案头研究方法。案头研究指的是二手数据或无需实地考察即可收集到的数据。案头研究基本上是从现有资源中收集数据,因此,与实地研究相比,案头研究通常被认为是一种低成本技术,因为主要成本涉及执行人员的时间、电话费和目录。因此,本研究依赖于已出版的研究、报告和统计数据。这些二手数据可通过在线期刊和图书馆轻松获取。研究结果:研究结果表明,在宗教信仰对社会行为和社区凝聚力的影响方面存在着背景和方法上的差距。初步的实证研究表明,宗教信仰对社会行为和社区凝聚力有着深远的影响,既是团结的力量,也是分裂的力量。虽然共同的宗教习俗能增强内部凝聚力,促进亲社会行为,但也会因群体内的偏袒和群体外的歧视而导致社会分裂和排斥。研究强调了包容性政策和宗教间倡议对减轻这些负面影响和促进相互理解的重要性。最后,研究强调,需要在宗教对社会凝聚力的积极贡献与尽量减少其分裂影响之间取得平衡,从而促进更加和谐的社区。对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:社会认同理论、计划行为理论和社会资本理论可用于今后有关宗教信仰对社会行为和社区凝聚力影响的研究。本研究建议扩展现有理论,以更好地解释宗教信仰的不同影响,通过宗教间对话促进包容性宗教实践,并制定政策促进宗教宽容与合作。研究还强调了通过宗教间活动促进社区参与的重要性,通过确保包容性来解决社会排斥问题,以及实施持续监测和评估以保持积极影响。这些建议旨在加强理论框架、实际举措和政策措施,最大限度地发挥宗教信仰对社会凝聚力的有益影响。

But : l’objectif principal de cet article est d’analyser les effets économiques, sociaux et environnementaux de la crise énergétique en montrant que ces derniers entravent le développement durable de la ville de Maroua. Méthodologie : la méthodologie de cette étude s’appuie sur des enquêtes par des entretiens semi-directifs menés auprès des ménages de la ville des Maroua. En effet, notre étude s’appuie sur un échantillon non probabiliste[1] des habitants de la ville de Maroua. Pour ce qui est de l’échantillonnage, nous avons opté pour l’échantillonnage par choix raisonné théorique[2]. À cet effet, nous avons réalisé au total quinze (15) entretiens semi-directifs dans les ménages de la ville de Maroua. Cette étude repose sur une analyse qualitative des pratiques d’adaptation et d’innovation des ménages de la ville de Maroua en matière d’énergie. Les entretiens ont porté sur les potentielles causes de la crise énergétique ainsi que sur les effets multidimensionnels de la crise énergétique dans la ville de Maroua. Les données ont été analysées à l’aide d’une analyse de contenu thématique. Résultats : les entretiens semi-directifs menés auprès des ménages de la ville des Maroua ont permis d’aboutir aux résultats suivants : la crise énergétique observée dans la ville de Maroua résulte de la combinaison des causes endogènes et exogènes ; la crise énergétique entrave les enjeux du développement durable tels que le développement économique, social et environnemental contribuant à maintenir le sous-développement dans la ville de Maroua. Contribution unique à la théorie, aux politiques et à la pratique : cette étude offre une compréhension nuancée des effets multidimensionnels de la crise énergétique sur le développement durable dans un contexte africain.

Pub Date : 2024-05-07 DOI: 10.47941/ijhss.1890
Timson Nyamari
Purpose: This study sought to investigate the concept of social capital and its role in promoting community development and resilience, with a focus on practical interventions and policy implications. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to social capital and community development. In this study on social capital and community development, while all authors contribute to the overarching theme, one author stands out for discussing a slightly different topic. Specifically, the author who emphasizes the economic advantages of robust social capital within a community diverges somewhat from the others. While the study as a whole examines various aspects of community development, including economic prosperity, social cohesion, and resilience, this particular author delves deeper into the specific mechanisms through which social capital enhances economic opportunities, such as access to resources, markets, and employment. Therefore, this author's focus on the economic dimension of social capital provides a unique perspective within the broader context of community development discussed by the other authors. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Capital theory, Community Empowerment theory and Structural Functionalism theory may be used to anchor future studies on the concept of social capital and its role in promoting community development and resilience. The study made several recommendations that contributed to theory, practice, and policy in the field. It suggested further exploration of the mechanisms linking social capital to community development outcomes, integration of social capital considerations into policy frameworks, and implementation of community-based interventions. Additionally, the study emphasized the importance of capacity-building efforts, collaborative partnerships among stakeholders, and robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms. By investing in these recommendations, stakeholders aimed to foster resilient, inclusive, and thriving communities, leveraging social capital as a catalyst for positive social change.
目的:本研究旨在调查社会资本的概念及其在促进社区发展和复原力方面的作用,重点是实际干预措施和政策影响。研究方法:本研究采用案头研究方法。案头研究指的是二手数据或无需实地考察即可收集到的数据。案头研究基本上是从现有资源中收集数据,因此,与实地研究相比,案头研究通常被认为是一种低成本技术,因为主要成本涉及执行人员的时间、电话费和目录。因此,本研究依赖于已出版的研究、报告和统计数据。这些二手数据可通过在线期刊和图书馆轻松获取。研究结果:研究结果表明,在社会资本和社区发展方面存在着背景和方法上的差距。在这项关于社会资本与社区发展的研究中,虽然所有作者都对总主题做出了贡献,但有一位作者因讨论的主题略有不同而脱颖而出。具体来说,强调社区内强大社会资本的经济优势的作者与其他作者有些不同。虽然整个研究探讨了社区发展的各个方面,包括经济繁荣、社会凝聚力和复原力,但这位作者更深入地探讨了社会资本增加经济机会的具体机制,如获取资源、市场和就业。因此,在其他作者所讨论的社区发展的大背景下,这位作者对社会资本的经济维度的关注提供了一个独特的视角。对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:社会资本理论、社区赋权理论和结构功能主义理论可用于今后关于社会资本概念及其在促进社区发展和复原力方面作用的研究。该研究提出了若干建议,有助于该领域的理论、实践和政策。它建议进一步探索社会资本与社区发展成果之间的联系机制,将社会资本因素纳入政策框架,并实施基于社区的干预措施。此外,研究还强调了能力建设工作、利益相关者之间的合作伙伴关系以及强有力的监测和评估机制的重要性。通过对这些建议进行投资,利益相关者旨在培养具有复原力、包容性和繁荣的社区,利用社会资本作为积极社会变革的催化剂。

Healthcare Disparities among Socioeconomic Groups 社会经济群体之间的医疗差距
Pub Date : 2024-05-07 DOI: 10.47941/ijhss.1889
Abdi Sharmake
Purpose: This study sought to explore the socioeconomic factors contributing to disparities in healthcare access and outcomes. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to healthcare disparities among socioeconomic groups. Preliminary empirical review revealed that individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds faced multiple barriers to healthcare access, leading to inequalities in health outcomes. The study highlighted the complex interplay between social factors such as income, education, and wealth, emphasizing the need for comprehensive, multisectoral approaches to address healthcare disparities. Despite progress, gaps in research, policy, and practice remained, underscoring the importance of continued efforts to achieve health equity through collaborative initiatives and evidence-based interventions. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Determinants of Health theory, Health Benefit model and Critical Medical Anthropology theory may be used to anchor future studies on healthcare disparities among socioeconomic groups. The study provided comprehensive recommendations to advance theory, practice, and policy.

Purpose: The general purpose of the study was to explore cultural hybridity and identity formation in globalized societies. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to cultural hybridity and identity formation in globalized societies. Preliminary empirical review revealed that cultural hybridity was pervasive, with individuals blending diverse cultural influences to construct hybrid identities. Identity formation was dynamic and influenced by globalization, migration, and historical legacies. Power dynamics, including race and socio-economic status, intersected with cultural hybridity to shape experiences of identity and belonging. The study emphasized the importance of promoting inclusivity and dialogue to navigate the complexities of cultural hybridity and foster greater understanding across diverse cultural landscapes. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Post- Colonial theory, Intersectionality theory and Transnationalism theory may be used to anchor future studies on cultural hybridity and identity formation in globalized societies. The study provided valuable insights and recommendations that contributed to theory, practice, and policy. It enriched theoretical frameworks by adopting a multidimensional approach to understanding identity formation and underscored the importance of recognizing cultural diversity. Educators, community organizations, and policymakers utilized the study's findings to develop inclusive practices and policies that promoted intercultural understanding, social cohesion, and equitable access to resources. Additionally, media practitioners incorporated the study's insights to produce content that challenged stereotypes and fostered positive representations of cultural diversity. Overall, the study's recommendations have had a significant impact on efforts to promote inclusive development and intercultural dialogue in globalized societies.

Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the experiences of refugees in host communities. Preliminary empirical review revealed that refugees encountered multifaceted challenges, including language barriers, discrimination, and limited access to education and employment opportunities, shaping their integration experiences. Positive host community attitudes and inclusive government policies were found to facilitate integration, while negative attitudes hindered social inclusion. Community support networks played a crucial role in fostering refugees' sense of belonging and social cohesion. Overall, the study highlighted the importance of a holistic and rights-based approach to refugee integration, emphasizing collaboration between stakeholders to promote empathy, understanding, and cooperation among host community members and refugees, thus fostering inclusive and resilient societies. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Identity theory, Acculturation theory and Ecological Systems theory may be used to anchor future studies the experiences of refugees in host communities. The study provided valuable recommendations that contributed to theory, practice, and policy in the field of refugee studies. It recommended further theoretical development to understand refugee experiences better and emphasized community-based initiatives for fostering positive interactions between refugees and host community members. Additionally, the study called for comprehensive integration policies, targeted interventions for vulnerable subgroups, and research-informed policymaking and practice. These recommendations aimed to create inclusive environments and promote the long-term integration and well-being of refugees in host communities.
