Commonalities & conflict : the relationship of stakeholders in Paceville

Abstract

The research topic aims to develop the analysis of regional stakeholders through a local sample. In this context, a community is defined through the clustering of individuals that share commonalities with one another. With the stakeholder approach being repurposed within the field of urban sociology, communities are researched both within their internal composition and through external dependent factors. These core stakeholders are; the commercial industry, state-affiliated entities and community clusters. All of which are dependent upon each other. The analysis will initially question the key components of each stakeholder independently in order to establish their contribution to the social mix. Through the personification of each stakeholder, it would then be possible to question their relationship to one another. As the title suggests the relevance of commonalities and conflict dictate how each stakeholder stands on topics of public interest. Given that these topics are identifiable through quantitative participation, such material is already available through the Regional Statistics published by the NSO (2020). Through the selection of state affiliated participants, discussions were based on pre-established research and theories. In combination with the stakeholder approach, this method made it possible to understand a stakeholder specific role and their dependency to the locality. As a result, this led to the outline of current development trends and their validation within the social sphere. Some Community-centric initiatives mentioned include zoning, gated communities and commuting through active mobility. Further analysis of the link between these initiatives and the stakeholders involved revealed that stakeholders can be further fragmented into sub-categories on the basis of mutual interests. An example of such is how the Community stakeholder within Paceville is segmented into economic and residential groups. In conclusion, the results outlined can be furthered when taken in conjunction with the socioeconomic field of research, given that it draws upon existing statistics and documentation.
