Trending and Emerging
- Agroecology and Environmental Sustainability:
There is a growing emphasis on agroecological models and environmental sustainability, as seen in various studies assessing the impact of sustainable agricultural practices on local ecosystems and communities. - Social Determinants of Health:
Recent publications increasingly explore the social determinants of health, particularly in relation to marginalized communities and how social factors influence health outcomes, reflecting a holistic approach to health equity. - Gender Perspective in Economic Development:
Research focusing on gender roles, particularly in entrepreneurship and rural development, has gained prominence, highlighting the importance of gender equity in economic growth and community development. - Local Development and Community Resilience:
There is a notable trend towards studies that assess local development strategies, community resilience, and participatory governance, reflecting a shift towards empowering local populations. - Youth and Political Participation:
Emerging themes include the political engagement of youth, with studies analyzing their roles in community development and social change, addressing the need for inclusive governance.
Declining or Waning
- Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR):
Although CSR was a significant theme in earlier publications, recent issues suggest a waning focus on this topic, possibly indicating a shift towards more grassroots and community-focused research. - Health and Pandemic Responses:
While health-related research, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, was prominent in earlier publications, it appears to be declining as the journal pivots back to broader themes of equity and sustainable development. - Urban Development Studies:
Research specifically focusing on urban development challenges has decreased, potentially as the journal shifts its focus towards rural and community-oriented topics, reflecting changing research interests. - Gender Studies Beyond Equity:
While gender issues remain relevant, there seems to be a reduced emphasis on gender studies that do not directly connect to equity and empowerment, indicating a narrowing of focus within this area. - Migration Studies:
The exploration of migration issues has diminished, which may suggest a shift in thematic priorities towards more localized issues of development and equity rather than broader migration narratives.
