City’s Authenticity: Examining Community Participation in Rebuilding Buraydah Historical Gates, Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia

The historical gates of Buraydah are an important heritage site in Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia. The Gates were built between 1850 and 1901 to protect the city but were demolished later, leaving almost no records or plans behind. The Prince of Al-Qassim has taken on the project to rebuild the Gates to teach future generations about their culture and heritage. The participation of the community becomes essential in this case. This study examines the role of the local community in the rebuilding process by questioning the extent of community participation to ensure the city's authenticity and how to enhance its involvement in the process. To achieve this objective, the study employed a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods for primary data collecting through online surveys. It was supported by a literature study as supplementary data especially to trace the history of the Gates. The aim is to provide a complete picture of the Buraydah Gates, including its history, how they were built and demolished, and their significance to the community in the present times. This project is not like most other rebuilding projects we see today. It is not a case of looking at old plans and drawings and recreating them. It argues that community participation through scouring for rare photographs of the original gate and drawing plans based on the perception of the elderly recalling the design is the most effective approach to ensure the city’s authenticity. In addition, this project stands out because it is based on what the community remembers and feels about the gates. However, many aspects of this site are undocumented, and it is imperative to record and make notes of the progression in order to serve our future generations this study enriches that documentation.

The psychology of volunteer moderators: Tradeoffs between participation, belonging, and norms in online community governance

Online communities rely on effective governance for success, and volunteer moderators are crucial for ensuring such governance. Despite their significance, much remains to be explored in understanding the relationship between community governance processes and moderators’ psychological experiences. To bridge this gap, we conducted an online survey with over 600 moderators from Reddit communities, exploring the link between different governance strategies and moderators’ needs and motivations. Our investigation reveals a contrast to conventional views on democratic governance within online communities. While participatory processes are associated with higher levels of perceived fairness, they are also linked with reduced feelings of community belonging and lower levels of institutional acceptance among moderators. Our findings challenge the assumption that greater democratic involvement unequivocally leads to positive community outcomes, suggesting instead that more centralized governance approaches can also positively affect moderators’ psychological well-being and, by extension, community cohesion and effectiveness.

Organizational Design and Work Culture

The relationship between work culture and organizational design has drawn a lot of attention in the modern corporate environment as a success factor for organizations. This abstract explores the mutually beneficial link between these two components and explains how their alignment promotes creativity, output, and worker engagement. The framework that governs the division of labour, roles, and duties inside an organization is known as organizational design. It establishes decision-making procedures, communication routes, and hierarchies. In addition to being effective, a well-designed organizational structure may also be adjusted to the changing needs of the market. At the same time, an organization's work culture encompasses the rules, beliefs, and behaviours that are common within it. It represents the general way of thinking, feeling, and doing things in work. A dynamic workplace culture fosters a feeling of community, promotes teamwork, and increases worker happiness.

An essential tactic is to perform a thorough analysis of organizational structure and workplace culture. This means assessing both cultural elements like values, norms, and communication as well as structural elements like hierarchies, workflows, and decision-making processes.

Young refugees’ feelings of belonging? Encounters with rural Denmark and northern Norway

ABSTRACT This paper investigates how young refugees settled in rural Norway and Denmark experience their new places of residence. We find inspiration in the idea of ‘contradictions of space’ (Kinkaid [2020]. “Re-encountering Lefebvre: Toward a Critical Phenomenology of Social Space.” Society and Space 38 (1): 167–186.) in exploring how young refugees navigate issues in rural life from housing, education, work and social life to their material surroundings, including the weather. Which experiences result in feelings of meaning and orientation, and which spur feelings of disorientation and contradiction? The empirical material is based on fieldwork and qualitative interviews with young refugees and local volunteers in rural Norway and Denmark. Despite several differences between rural areas in the two countries, young refugees’ experiences from within show many similarities and common experiences between them. The harsh weather, empty streets, lack of familiarity with the more formal community life in rural areas, long distances from sites of education, etc. create feelings of disorientation and contradiction, while socializing with other refugees provides feelings of community and belonging. Taken together, the two aspects drive their decisions to stay in or leave the rural area.

The study demonstrates how Flipkart and Amazon use various approaches to foster customer loyalty. Flipkart creates a feeling of community by customizing the shopping experience for its customers through engaging marketing campaigns, special deals, and tailored suggestions. On the other hand, in order to expedite the shopping experience and encourage recurring transactions, Amazon places a high priority on a wide range of products, a strong logistical network, and reward programs like Amazon Prime. Notably, both businesses use artificial intelligence and data analytics to improve customer satisfaction and personalize services.One of the main challenges facing the e-commerce industry is security issues. While consumers like the ease of online purchasing, the survey notes that distrust and loyalty can be hampered by worries about data privacy, cybersecurity, and fake goods. According to the study, Flipkart and Amazon have taken steps to allay these worries, including putting strong security measures in place, guaranteeing authenticity, and keeping open lines of communication with their patrons.

Various faces of activist identity: The role of intrinsic and materialistic goals and mass gatherings

AbstractThe presented research explores the relationship between intrinsic and materialistic goals and activist identity and commitment, and whether this relationship is moderated by participation in a mass gathering. Six studies were conducted (n = 997). These included participants of mass gatherings for diverse purposes, for example, minority rights demonstrations and religious gatherings (Studies 1–4), as well as participants from the general population (Studies 5 and 6). The results of regression analysis and meta‐analysis showed that the pursuit of both intrinsic and materialistic goals predicts activist identity and commitment. Regardless of whether respondents were involved in a mass gathering during the study or not, and regardless of the cause of the gathering, community feeling—an intrinsic goal—was consistently a positive significant predictor of activist identity and commitment (Study 1–6). However, for respondents who were not involved in a mass gathering during the study, popularity—a materialistic goal – also emerged as an important positive predictor of activist identity and commitment (Study 5 and 6).
