The aim of this research project is the investigation of the forgotten landscape of transhumance in mainland Greece, focusing on areas that have been abandoned by modern society and their historical significance. The goal is to make these lands functional again by preserving their cultural heritage and developing a sustainable community that meets the needs of people, livestock, and the environment. The investigation employs a dual approach: examining transhumance as a cultural and natural practice while analyzing vernacular architecture to preserve collective memory. This involves extensive historical research and a simultaneous analysis of spatial, social, symbolic, and architectural elements. This study identifies points of convergence between cultural practices and architectural heritage, applying these insights to contemporary redevelopment scenarios. Findings reveal a significant interplay between transhumance practices and the region's anonymous architecture. Key characteristics of the landscape and its spatial identity are documented, providing insights into effective preservation and redevelopment strategies. Specific case studies validate these strategies, demonstrating their relevance to current and future efforts. This study concludes that understanding the historical context and spatial identity of transhumance landscapes is crucial for sustainable redevelopment. By preserving cultural practices and architectural heritage, this project provides a framework for revitalizing these landscapes, ensuring a balanced coexistence of people, livestock, and the environment.

- Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between media consumption and identity changes. In other words, it tries to study the interaction of identity dimensions on each other and their relationship with the amount of media consumption. This applied research, which is of a descriptive-causal type, was conducted with a survey method (cross-sectional type) and used the standard questionnaire tool of Selgi et al. (2014) to collect data. The statistical population of four centers of Oramanat region in Kermanshah, which was obtained using multi-stage cluster sampling method and according to Cochran's formula, the sample size was 384 people. The findings show that in the correlation matrix of the four dimensions of identity, there is a direct and significant relationship between ethnic and national identity and religious identity. Also, this relationship between religious identity and global identity is inverse and significant. The relationship between national identity and consumption of national media (TV) is positive, and between this dimension of identity and consumption of Kurdish-language satellite channels is inverse. What is called ethnic identity has a direct and significant relationship with Kurdish-speaking satellites. Also, there is an inverse relationship between religious identity and the amount of use of Kurdish language satellites and a positive relationship with national television, and these two variables together explain about 7% of the changes in religious identity. Finally, modern identity has an inverse relationship with national television consumption and a positive and significant relationship with satellite, and these two variables predict about 5% of modern identity changes. Another result of this research is that in the hierarchy of identity, the ethnic identity of the respondents was the highest with an average of 4 and the modern identity was the lowest with an average of 3.88. In terms of identity preference, the respondents first of all considered themselves to be Muslim, then Kurdish and then Iranian. In terms of media consumption, the amount of use of official media such as television and provincial network by the respondents was very low and they heavily use virtual space and new social networks.

The political salience of local identities has received limited academic attention in the British political science literature. This paper is a step towards addressing this, through a case study of the Scouse identity. The Scouse identity is primarily found in the English city of Liverpool, Merseyside and its environs. Using original survey data of electors from across Merseyside, alongside the British Election Study, this paper explores the political salience and consequences of the Scouse identity and places it in the comparative context of sub-state national identities across Great Britain, namely Englishness, Scottishness, and Welshness. I find that holding a Scouse identity leads to higher levels of Labour support and lower levels of Conservative and Green support, that the political consequences of the Scouse identity vary across Merseyside, and that local identities can and do exist alongside sub-state national identities, challenging the myth of 'Scouse not English'. Put simply, local identities can and do matter when it comes to shaping voting behaviour. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

5. Culture as a Resilient and Sustainable Strategy in Small Cities.

Somoza Medina, Xosé and Relea Fernández, Carlos Emilio
- Abstract
This article studies the recent evolution of five cases of small cities in the interior of Spain that several decades ago invested in culture as a strategy to maintain their populations and increase the quality of life of their inhabitants. These are case studies of differentiated characteristics in which the analysis of their evolution offers important keys for developing cultural policies in any small city in the world. The examples of Allariz, Almagro, Astorga, Puigcerdá and Trujillo allow for the corroboration of how betting on culture as a resilient and sustainable strategy generates positive results for their populations. Allariz, in the province of Ourense, is showing a cultural identity development that emerged as a movement to reject the pollution of the Arnoia River. In Almagro, in the La Mancha province of Ciudad Real, the recovery in 1955 of the only Corral de Comedias preserved since the 17th century allowed for the inauguration in 1979 of the first Almagro Classical Theatre Festival, and from then on, a whole series of restorations and new constructions related to theater and the performing arts, which turned a small town of less than 10,000 inhabitants into the national theater capital. Astorga is a small two-thousand-year-old city in the province of León, which is trying to recover as a living history museum to face the current reality of demographic and economic crises. Puigcerdá, in the province of Girona, the historic capital of Cerdanya, is another small town in which cultural management and production is much larger than it would be corresponding to its demographic size. Lastly, Trujillo, in the Extremadura province of Cáceres, a city of pre-Roman origin known in the 16th century as the birthplace of conquistadors in America such as Francisco Pizarro and Francisco de Orellana, is another small town of less than 10,000 inhabitants that is committed to creating and maintaining a rich cultural agenda with an important weight for the history and relationship between America and Spain and the recovery of the civil and religious heritage of this small monumental city. These are five enclaves, in summary, that have for years followed a clear strategy of betting on identity and culture to improve the well-being of their inhabitants and the local development of their economy, and which, as this research demonstrates, have made it possible to avoid the biggest problems of the impoverishment and abandonment of other nearby towns with similar characteristics.

Most research on sustainable small-scale local producer lifestyles emphasises healthy food production but lacks the integration of mental and spiritual well-being into a holistic concept of a healthy lifestyle. This study explores the motives behind the production activity of producers engaged in sustainable food production in several western Hungarian sub-regions, aiming to identify their attitudes and motivations. The small-scale entrepreneurial mindset encompasses needs beyond physical and ethical aspects, such as involvement, socio-cultural attachment to the past, tradition, nature, place, and local culture. An online questionnaire was conducted with 73 local producers in the second quarter of 2024. The results of the factor and cluster analyses were used to classify the producers into two clusters: the "Value-Creator" and the "Proud" clusters. The main features of these two clusters were illustrated in persona profiles. The "Value-Creator" cluster, mainly women, feels a strong connection to the local community and views sustainable production as a lifestyle choice. The "Proud" cluster, consisting of young men, focuses on the quality and uniqueness of their products. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of sustainable production by exploring producers' intrinsic motivations and lifestyle choices. The findings could also inform other entrepreneurial projects, such as urban initiatives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Relevance. The fact that in modern conditions any city combines several strategies of spatial development, and, consequently, a certain set of types of identity. All of them need an accurate description and systematization necessary in order to give an adequate interpretation of the city as a transphysical phenomenon and man as a culturally organized subject. Methods. Narrative analysis of texts created by the main consumer and producer of the Text of the city in the broadest sense of the word. To analyze different types of identity, materials from several studies related to Tomsk were used: interviews of citizens conducted to clarify the attitude of residents to the transformation of the city and its public spaces in 2022–2023; reports on the study of protest behavior of citizens caused by the actions of the city authorities, destroying, in the opinion of residents, the “genius of the place”. Results. Based on the interpretation of texts posted on the History Map website. Tomsk; interview materials that made it possible to interpret identity as giving meanings to objects of the urban environment or the urban space as a whole based on the results of public and individual experience. Conclusions. The processes of urban identity formation are in a state of constant construction and transformation, but while maintaining certain constants associated with the dominant system of meanings attributed to reality.

Objective: This case study analyzes the influence of political education policies on the educational standards in Aceh, Indonesia. Methods/Analysis: The study examines the impact of political stability and governance changes on educational frameworks and outcomes, specifically focusing on reforms made after 2005. The study used qualitative methods, analyzed data from interviews with educators, policymakers, and students, and reviewed relevant government documents and education statistics. Finding: Increased political autonomy in Aceh has led to a more culturally and regionally adapted education policy, improving student participation and learning. A more inclusive educational atmosphere for various students has been created by including local language and culture studies. According to the report, political stability also facilitates school finance and resource distribution, increasing infrastructure and teacher training. Balancing national education standards with local requirements and ensuring fair access to quality education in Aceh's districts remain challenges. According to the report, policymakers should spend in teacher training, infrastructure, and inclusive curriculum to preserve and strengthen Aceh education. Novelty/Improvement:Political stability and governance in Aceh have affected curriculum creation, teaching methods, and learning results, according to this study. These political dynamics present problems and opportunities for sustainable education programs, which the study examines. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-08-04-011 Full Text: PDF

Abstract Flowing Waters, Lasting Stories: the Lambro River as an Archive of Collective Memory The Lambro River has profoundly shaped Lombardy’s landscape and local communities throughout history. This paper aims to investigate the connection between the river and the identity of these communities by analyzing how changes in landscape have been reflected in both tangible and intangible cultural expressions. Studying this heritage offers insights into how the Lambro has been perceived and integrated into the local community’s identity over time, becoming a fundamental element of their sense of belonging. To achieve this objective, this research uses art, literature, and music, which not only portray the region but also provide valuable insights in the evolution of collective identities across generations.

Derived from the dimension of locality, terebang merges Sundanese ethnic and Islamic elements into a distinctive music genre. This article explores the forms of the Sundanese Islamic musical genre and how this genre is utilized at Islamic ritual events and on the urban stage. With the involvement of cultural activists supporting the Candralijaya band, this research also examines the challenges and criticisms from various groups concerning the integration of ethnicity and Islam. Based on an ethnographic expedition in Tasikmalaya, West Java, the findings reveal a unique significance in this genre that is not evident in other parts of Indonesia or the Muslim world, such as in the Middle East and Pakistan. This study highlights the importance of expressing 'Sundanese-Islamic feelings' through musical performance art. It argues that this music genre embodies a vernacular meaning born from two distinct origins, yet it has created a distinctive genre. This confirms that both sources maintain specific boundaries, each with its own unique 'flavors.' Future studies could explore how these musical performances can foster intercultural dialogue and understanding in diverse societies, potentially serving as a bridge between different religious and ethnic communities. Berawal dari dimensi lokalitas, terebang menggabungkan elemen-etnik Sunda dan Islam menjadi genre musik yang khas. Artikel ini mengeksplorasi bentuk-bentuk genre musik Islam Sunda dan bagaimana genre ini digunakan dalam acara ritual Islam dan di panggung urban. Dengan keterlibatan aktivis budaya yang mendukung band Candralijaya, penelitian ini juga mengkaji tantangan dan kritik dari berbagai kelompok mengenai integrasi etnisitas dan Islam. Berdasarkan ekspedisi etnografi di Tasikmalaya, Jawa Barat, temuan ini mengungkapkan sebuah keunikan dalam genre ini yang tidak terlihat di bagian lain Indonesia atau dunia Muslim, seperti di Timur Tengah dan Pakistan. Studi ini menyoroti pentingnya mengekspresikan 'perasaan Islam-Sunda' melalui seni pertunjukan musikal. Argumennya adalah bahwa genre musik ini mengandung makna vernakular yang berasal dari dua sumber berbeda, namun telah menciptakan genre yang berbeda. Ini membenarkan bahwa kedua sumber tersebut mempertahankan batas-batas tertentu, masing-masing dengan 'rasa' uniknya sendiri. Studi mendatang dapat mengeksplorasi bagaimana pertunjukan musik ini dapat mendorong dialog dan pemahaman lintas budaya dalam masyarakat yang beragam, berpotensi menjadi jembatan antara komunitas agama dan etnik yang berbeda.

A superordinate identity that emphasizes the shared bond between people of different groups can have beneficial outcomes according to the theoretical argument of the common ingroup identity model. Unlike previous research that focuses on a single superordinate identity, we simultaneously study two superordinate identities: local identity (identification with the neighborhood) and national identity (identification with the country of residence). Our study is set in two ethnically heterogenous and low‐income neighborhoods in Sweden. Based on four waves of panel survey data, we find that both types of superordinate identities are associated with increases in interpersonal and institutional trust. The identities have distinct consequences, however. Local identity is related to local trust and national identity to national trust. These results are based on within‐individual variation. Since high trust generally has a range of positive consequences, our results point to an approach at improving communities that are often in much need of it. We observe low correlation between the two superordinate identities and high convergent and discriminant validity of the concepts. Our results may be relevant to similar neighborhoods that exist across Europe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Environmental sustainability is a common practice of global brands, with 90% of the top 100 Interbrand global brands making statements about environmental efforts on their websites. In this research, the authors explore how a consumer's global–local identity can affect consumer engagement with a global brand's environmental sustainability initiative. Specifically, they examine consumer engagement in response to environmental messaging based on regulatory focus, spatial construal, and temporal construal. They theorize and find, across six experimental studies, that consumers with a strong global identity are more engaged with environmental sustainability initiatives when messaging includes frames congruent with their global identity, specifically promotion frames coupled with distant spatial frames and with proximal temporal frames. For consumers with a local identity, these regulatory and construal messaging frames do not impact consumer engagement with environmental sustainability initiatives. Consumer environmental mindset mediates the effect of global–local identity on consumer engagement with environmental sustainability initiatives when such congruent frames are used, and consumer eagerness to act provides additional process explanation for the asymmetric spatial (distant) and temporal (proximal) construal effects. The findings have significant implications for the design of global brand and environmental policy messaging, particularly for consumers with a strong global identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Islamic modernism ,Islamic conservatism ,local identity ,local Islamic organizations ,post-new order ,West Sumatra Provinces ,Social Sciences - Abstract
The study of the rise of Islamic conservatism in the context of local politics has not been the main focus of studies on Islamic conservatism in Indonesia. Studies on Islamic conservatism have so far emphasized the national political aspect, which illustrates that there has been a change in the dynamics of Islam towards a conservative turn. This article responds to various studies on Islamic conservatism in Indonesia by focusing on the emergence of local Islamic conservatism movements in West Sumatra Province after the New Order. West Sumatra is one of the regions predominantly inhabited by ethnic Minangkabau, which has long been known as a driving force in the Indonesian Islamic renewal and modernism movement. This research uses a qualitative method, with a case study approach, by interviewing actors, religious groups, traditional and religious leaders, and local Islamic organizations. This study found that the change in the spectrum of Islam from Islamic modernism to Islamic conservatism was influenced by several factors. First, the agency factor of post-New Order political openness was utilized by local Islamic organizations to promote religious conservatism. Second, the structural factor of political opportunities is the momentum in the promotion of Islamic conservatism. Third, Local identity was used as an instrument to promote Islamic conservatism in West Sumatra. This study is different from previous studies, as historical factors are the main factors in the proliferation of local Islamic conservatism movements such as in West Java, South Sulawesi, Solo, and West Sumatra.

Objective: This study examines local identity and mental health at one of the most ethnically diverse universities in the United States to move beyond the dichotomy between international and domestic students. Participants: Undergraduate students (N = 1,098) attending a university in Hawai'i completed anonymous surveys during class. Results: Self-identified local students who were born and/or raised in Hawai'i had lower levels of depressive symptoms than non-local students, over and above their nativity status, gender, age, race/ethnicity, multiracial status, and socioeconomic background. Sobel tests further confirmed significant mediators, which suggested that locals were less psychologically distressed than non-locals because of their stronger familiarity with the "aloha spirit," rooted in Native Hawaiian culture, and their lower risk of discrimination. Conclusions: These new findings can inform mental health services and interventions to better target non-local (international and out-of-state domestic) students by considering the stress of discrimination and the protective role of cultural values.

The article is dedicated to researching the biography and historical memory of the Japanese consul in Lithuania in 1939–1940 and the only Japanese Righteous Among the Nations Sugihara Chiune, who issued 2139 transit visas to Polish and Lithuanian Jews from July to September 1940, which helped them escape the tragedy of the Holocaust in Lithuania after the German attack on the USSR. For the reader’s convenience, the work is divided into 5 parts. The first focuses on the stages of Sugihara’s career before his appointment as consul in Kaunas: his early biography (1900–1919), his study of Russian in Harbin (1919–1924), his work at the Japanese Consulate General (1925–1932) and the Manchukuo Foreign Ministry (1932–1935), his transfer to the Japanese Foreign Ministry in Tokyo (1935–1937), and his departure for a diplomatic mission in Finland (1937–1939). Along with a description of his professional development, an important place in this part is occupied by an analysis of Sugihara’s personal life and the process of shaping his views, which subsequently determined his willingness to act in a way that, at first glance, was not typical of a diplomat of militarist Japan. The second and third parts describe Sugihara’s activities in Kaunas (1939– 1940). Attention is paid both to his intelligence activities with the support of Polish agents and to his private life, the events of which developed Sugihara’s earlier capacity for sympathy for people of other nationalities. It also details the process of issuing transit visas to Jewish refugees, deliberately carried out in violation of Foreign Ministry instructions, as well as estimates of the number who left Lithuania thanks to Sugihara and describes their further journey. The fourth part, although small, covers a broad period in the life of the former Japanese consul in Lithuania: his work in Prague (1940–1941), Königsberg (1941), and Bucharest (1941–1944), internment and repatriation to Japan (1944–1947), work in various commercial firms (1947–1975) and the process of recognition as a Righteous (1984). Finally, the final part of the paper is devoted to the analysis of the historical memory of Sugihara in Israel, Japan, the USA, Poland, Lithuania, and Russia, as well as identification of the main differences in its nature and the reasons that determined this heterogeneity.

The paper provides the outcomes of the authors’ ongoing research on Russian collective nicknames of the Perm region. It significantly complements the previously published part, dealing with the features of usage, semantics, and historical significance of local collective nicknames as evidence of the settlement of the Perm region by Russians. This paper approaches the material from lexicographical perspective, which, in combination with the first part, delivers the most complete picture to date of the nature of collective nicknames in the region. The studied units are retrieved from several sources: materials of field trips led by the authors and other Perm researchers since the 1990s; dictionaries of Russian dialects of the Perm region and card indexes of dictionaries; “Dictionary of Russian Folk Dialects”, a number of onomastic dictionaries, modern ethnographic, folklore and ethnolinguistic collections on the traditional culture of the Russian population of the Perm region; works on local ethnography and folklore published in the 19th — first half of the 20th century. Dictionary entries are arranged in alphabetical order. The article examines collective nicknames as such (their phonetic and word-formation variants, if any); their interpretation (which territorial group of people they refer to); geographical label (the place where the name was recorded); usage contexts and explanations for the nickname if available. The nicknames used for residents of different settlements, villages, and regions are considered as polysemantic words with different meanings. If a collective nickname includes a qualifying toponymic epithet, it is enclosed in parentheses. In cases where a settlement appeared near a factory, the factory name is specified along with the modern oikonym.

Most research on sustainable small-scale local producer lifestyles emphasises healthy food production but lacks the integration of mental and spiritual well-being into a holistic concept of a healthy lifestyle. This study explores the motives behind the production activity of producers engaged in sustainable food production in several western Hungarian sub-regions, aiming to identify their attitudes and motivations. The small-scale entrepreneurial mindset encompasses needs beyond physical and ethical aspects, such as involvement, socio-cultural attachment to the past, tradition, nature, place, and local culture. An online questionnaire was conducted with 73 local producers in the second quarter of 2024. The results of the factor and cluster analyses were used to classify the producers into two clusters: the “Value-Creator” and the “Proud” clusters. The main features of these two clusters were illustrated in persona profiles. The “Value-Creator” cluster, mainly women, feels a strong connection to the local community and views sustainable production as a lifestyle choice. The “Proud” cluster, consisting of young men, focuses on the quality and uniqueness of their products. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of sustainable production by exploring producers’ intrinsic motivations and lifestyle choices. The findings could also inform other entrepreneurial projects, such as urban initiatives.

ALEKSANDROWICZ, JOANNA
- Abstract
The article concerns returns to rural theme which are characteristic for Spanish cinema of the last decade and can be understood as an expression of the search for a local identity. In many narrations is also present plot motif of the return, connected with stories of characters torn between affection for little homeland and desire or necessity of leaving it. Unlike previous films, images of the country are far removed from idealisation and folkloristic clichés, as well as from black legend about poverty and backwardness, while the specificity of autonomous communities is manifested in regional languages and landscapes. In many stories about local communities directors reveal boarder problems, like changing the character of agricultural areas or depopulation of villages, which applies especially to interior called empty Spain (España vacía). This realistic presentation contrasts with magical realism, which isn't result of the stranger's gaze but is connected with specificity of the countryside seen from the perspective of its inhabitants and directors who come from there.

Water's role in shaping human societies, economies, and cultures extends beyond its status as a natural resource. This water quality, the entanglement of the social and natural, constructs the waterscape. This paper discusses how a community fountain and its replica, in a rural community of Greece, constructed by different agents with divergent motivations and objective, form a waterscape, expressing the socionature of water. Perceptions, imaginaries, values, and connotations are considered in the making and (dis)continuity of the waterscape. Community practices, social and cultural meanings, economy, commodification, collective work, privatisation, memory, and nostalgia are schemes that flow within the waterscape, over time. Flows and uses, livability, and emotions display diverse patterns of sense of rootedness on the community space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the role of local identity and local leisure practices in migrants’ inclusion processes in two rural Norwegian localities. The discussed study was conducted in municipalities that had experienced increased international migration following the EU expansion in 2004 and had a long history of internal in‐migration. In the study, individuals’ social inclusion and belonging processes are treated as inseparable from a locality’s dominant local narratives, practices, and norms—drawing on theories on inclusion/exclusion processes in places. Based on findings from semi‐structured interviews with local natives, internal migrants, and international migrants, the study found that different leisure practices were central to local identity in the two localities, which had implications for what was expected of migrants in order for them to be accepted locally. These findings align with what is commonly conceived as outdated community study research findings. The findings indicate the continued relevance of the local for people’s identification and migrants’ inclusion processes and support a need for closer theoretical and methodological integration of internal and international migration research. Another central finding was that in one of the localities, national narratives about civic engagement were evoked by some majority Norwegians as additional arguments for the importance of migrants’ involvement in local leisure activities. These interviewees’ main concern appeared to be ensuring local—rather than national—cultural continuity and cohesion. Finally, the different inclusion grammars in the two localities illustrate that inclusion processes in one locality should not by default be seen as representative of what is transpiring in a nation‐state.

The Chartered Community of Navarre, European Plural Region. With a population of around 660.000 inhabitants, the Chartered Community of Navarre is one of the smallest autonomous communities in Spain. Since the since the 1960s, this border region with no sea outlets has begun to show considerable dynamism in various economic sectors. The resident foreign population has gradually grown, mainly Moroccan, Ecuadorean, Colombian, Romanian. Today it represents almost 11% of the total and is strongly transforming the identity of a proudly regionalist community, linked to its traditions and, in some areas, to the Basque language. Navarre is increasingly acquiring the physiognomy of a plural and multi-ethnic region. This paper intends to investigate this transition, in which immigrant communities are protagonists.

vernacular houses ,local identity ,the souf ,algeria ,Arts in general ,NX1-820 - Abstract
This article focuses on the Saharan vernacular houses in the Souf region (Algeria), from the point of view of their capacity to express local identity. An approach based on historical research methods (documentary research, iconography, etc.) and architectural analysis was adopted to investigate the subject. The findings confirmed that the features of local identity are expressed in certain morphological attributes noted in the vernacular houses. These attributes are the result of the construction process itself, which is closely linked to the use of local building materials, namely tafza and louss stones. The constraints of the settlement site precluded the use of earth and palm wood as the main building materials. In addition, the space of the sabat (portico-like structure in the courtyard) is a major identity feature, marking the layout and use of domestic space. If the culture of reference, the site, and the climate have proved to be predisposing factors for a particular typology, it is the building system that has truly forged the identity image of the Souf. The local architectural identity is fed by the specificities of the region, taking into account its human component in accordance with the historical and cultural dimensions. Exogenous contributions are the driving force behind the dynamism in the expression of local identity.

This article begins by observing the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of deforestation in Northern Benin over the past four decades. In order to understand the underlying reasons for these spatial disparities, we conducted a thorough inquiry among residents of areas where woody cover has diverged significantly from the regional trend. Utilizing textual statistical methods, our analysis of these interviews has yielded deeper insights into specific local nuances in the population's perceptions of the ongoing environmental changes within their territories. Furthermore, our investigations have underscored a worsening of social and land inequalities that impact the entire region. The persistence of deforestation in Northern Benin, alongside the expression of economic and social vulnerability among the surveyed populations, mirrors situations already observed in several other rural regions of West Africa.

- Abstract
Improving local identity is the key to rural sustainable development. Facing the issue of rural hollowing and aging, rural human settlement requires targeted enhancement in conjunction with the living willingness and local identity of villagers. Firstly, this study summarizes the dynamic evolution characteristics of rural human settlement development and population contraction in Yunnan Province from 2001 to 2021, based on the "Production-Living-Ecological" theory. Secondly, the paper selects detailed survey data from 40 administrative villages in Yunnan Province in 2015, analyzes the characteristics of villagers' living visions in typical villages through questionnaire data, and constructs a comprehensive local identity index model based on multilevel living-visions to quantify the degree of villagers' identification with rural human settlement construction. Thirdly, the paper analyzes the correlation between the local identity index and the comprehensive human settlement evaluation and analyzes the factors of rural human settlement development that affect the local identity in depth. The results reveal that: (1) rural construction in Yunnan Province cannot adapt to the changing needs of villagers, and the development of rural human settlement is accompanied by a trend of relative shrinkage of the rural population. (2) The local identity index of villagers is weakly correlated with the development of rural human settlements. (3) The rural human settlement factors that influence rural local identity include a dual cohesion–centrifugal trend. The findings suggest that rural development depends on the primary and secondary relationship between cohesion and centrifugal trends, providing a reference for the coupling of rural construction and local identity and promoting the return of rural population to achieve sustainable development.

This article discusses the difference between the construction of national and local identifications related to the new place of residence. It shows that local identification is more inclusive than national, and therefore may be a key to strengthening social cohesion. National and local identities can both be seen as forms of place identification (i.e., of spatial or territorial identity). The article builds on qualitative research on highly skilled migrants living in Wrocław, Poland. The empirical data shows that these migrants would rather obtain a city identification and call themselves Wrocławianie (inhabitants of Wrocław), and do not want, or only partially want, Polish national identity. Living in and experiencing Wrocław makes them feel like insiders, while experiencing Poland positions them as outsiders. While national identity is built around the difference between "us" and "them", local identity focuses on gaining knowledge about the particularity of a place and therefore allows for acceptance of heterogeneity and is easier for migrants to obtain.

The article is the first part of the collaborative work studying Russian collective nicknames of the modern Perm Region. It aims to systematize the materials, analyze regional historiographical heritage and the sources of the studied units, explore the semantic features of collective nicknames in the region. The history of collection, publication, and research of collective nicknames of the Kama River area started in the 19th century when they were first mentioned in ethnographic descriptions. The first list of collective nicknames of more than forty units was published in 1927 by a famous Perm folklorist Valentin N. Serebrennikov. In the late 20th — early 21st centuries, intensive fieldwork of dialectologists, ethnographers and folklorists of Perm universities resulted in collecting a rich scope of materials on local nicknames which paved the way for their scholarly interpretation. The study of collective nicknames of the Kama River area showed their uneven distribution in the region. That was caused by both the specificity of field studies and the peculiarities of the region’s settlement by the Russians. Nowadays, the most numerous data on collective nicknames of the Kama River area are collected on the territory of the old-timers’ subdialects historically linked to the Russian North and in southern territories of later settlement. The authors substantiate that collective nicknames are a valuable source for the study of ethno-cultural specificity of the region. These units reflect different features of territorial groups among the local population: traits of character and behavior, specificity of Perm dialect speech, food preferences, cooking styles and the specificity of traditional costume, occupations, crafts, social status of the residents of various settlements, geographical and climate characteristics of the place, and migration history. Thus, the article shows that the studied anthroponymic units reflect the specificity of local identity and create the unique ethno-linguistic landscape of the Perm Region.

floodways are one of the components of cities that act as natural drainage and protect the city from the risk of destruction by discharging runoff from torrential rains. Today, city managers try to take advantage of this natural capacity and plant trees, install urban furniture, create walking and cycling paths, etc. to create a fun and fresh environment and strengthen the sense of place of citizens to Increase their belonging and attachment to the environment and reduce the pressures of living in an urban environment. But in the meantime, care must always be taken that this double operation does not lead to a change in the basis and structure of the floodway and does not take it out of the initial user circuit. In the southern part of the city of Najafabad, there was a natural floodway that the municipality tried to organize and use more by implementing a plan. The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze this plan based on the relationship between natural and human components of local identity and sensibility. This applied research has been done using library, field and survey methods and relying on descriptive and inferential statistics obtained from 360 questionnaires in the form of SPSS20 software. The results show that in the implementation of this plan, more attention has been paid to the human components than the natural components. Since the sense of attachment to place formed in citizens is also more related to the human components, this implicitly indicates a kind of neglect of the natural use of this issue, which can lead to the formation of future risks.

Based on the several decades-old tradition of presenting jazz through festivals firstly in Yugoslavia, and consequently in Serbia, the Jazz in the Garden manifestation was founded in Belgrade in 2021. The name of the new festival apostrophises the location of the event – “Jevremovac” Botanical Garden. With the anthropological analysis of this manifestation, we will strive to demonstrate how the manifestation in development like this one influences the construction process of one part of Belgrade’s identity through its connections with the local jazz scene. We will also consider the influence of the creation of different perceptions and new meanings of the well-known city space like the Botanical Garden “Jevremovac” in which the festival is held.

50. Multiculturalism between ideology and practice: Immigrant self-narrations of community activism in Toyota, Japan.

Ma, Scott and Ishihara, Mariana Alonso
- Abstract
From 1990, a revised immigration law offered foreigners of Japanese descent (
nikkei ) the right to work for unlimited duration in Japan. Manynikkei came from Latin America to take on blue-collar jobs in the country’s factories. Homi Danchi, a working-class housing complex in Toyota, Japan, has since become known for its Brazilian immigrant community. Drawing on in-depth interviews, this study analyzes the self-narrated biographies of three Brazilian immigrants who actively participate in community activism in Homi. Applying Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice and his critique of the “biographical illusion,” this article examines how the abstract ideology of Japanese-style multiculturalism (tabunka kyōsei ) is understood and practiced at a local level. It argues that our narrators’ practical desires to recreate multicultural community in Homi reapply abstract multicultural values to a local context, thereby implicitly acknowledging multiculturalism’s symbolic capital and limiting the extent of activism to Homi. Applying the symbolic capital of multiculturalism to everyday practice, in turn, makes activism meaningful and imagines a community of fellow actors, albeit to the exclusion of outsiders. Multiculturalism thereby becomes a question not primarily of coexistence, but of community-building. We also underline the role that narration of one’s own history plays in mediating between individual experience and community belonging, contributing to methodological debates about Bourdieu’s biographical method.
