Title: | ‘The making of hoepertingen’: Debating change in a village in Haspengouw (Belgium) | Authors: | MARTENS, Sarah Van Damme, Sylvie DEVISCH, Oswald |
Issue Date: | 2021 | Publisher: | PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD | Source: | Journal of rural studies, 87, p. 455-464 | Abstract: | Villages are changing as a consequence of global processes of transformation, as well as a summation of small-scale and individual decisions. Village communities are challenged by the way identities change, and search for ways to reflect and exchange ideas on what has disappeared, what aspects of life remain and will be possible. Our aim was to support individual villagers in order to better understand what is changing and to collectively define a future image. The methodology of action research brings in a future-forming orientation: to discuss what might become and to reflect on what is already there. Combined with aspects of participatory design, we set up different actions in Hoepertingen, a village in Haspengouw. Through walking with villagers, generating scenarios , envisioning, enacting, prototyping and more, we assembled and compared different meaning constructs, experimented with possible solutions and developed dialogues about these scenarios. In this paper, we will discuss the ways in which these participatory actions supported us to envision how public places in villages change and generate reflection, and debate about how inhabitants can contribute to this change. | Keywords: | Participatory design;Action research;Public space | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/32633 | ISSN: | 0743-0167 | e-ISSN: | 1873-1392 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.jrurstud.2020.09.003 | ISI #: | 000708572200007 | Rights: | 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
