  9. The Australian Community Capacity Study • Multi-million dollar project funded exclusively by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and the Victorian Premier and Cabinet led by Wickes and Mazerolle • Studying the life course of urban neighborhoods – one of four studies globally • Includes:  4 waves of survey data in Brisbane  2 waves of survey data in Melbourne  7 in-depth case studies of Brisbane neighborhoods  Ethnic community sample of residents from Indian, Vietnamese and Arabic speaking backgrounds in both cities

  10. ACCS/PHDCN and Ecometrics Raudenbush and Sampson (2002) - Taking ecological assessment seriously • Builds on a rich tradition of psychometrics • Treats neighbourhoods as units of analysis in their own right • Develops analytic strategies/approaches that can reliably capture between neighbourhood differences • Ecometric studies mark the “process turn” in neighbourhood effects research (Sampson, 2012)

  11. The Brisbane Research Site 3 rd largest city in Australia Sampling frame 429 suburbs Omitted those without census data (new neighborhoods or highly industrialized areas with few residents. N = 148 suburbs – average of 30 participants per suburb (min = 13 max =68) ACCS Average Pop Long Top‐Up Total Wave of Suburbs Sample Sample Sample Size Size Size Wave 2 5690 1077 3247 4324 Wave 3 6046 2286 1935 4221 Wave 4 6633 2473 1659 4132

  12. Step 1: Capturing distinct land uses within and across suburbs

  13. Social Conduits

  14. Social Holes

  15. Fragmentation index Degree to which the residential area is split into ‘patches’ by highways , thoroughfares , railway lines and rivers .

  16. Step 2: Land use, the socio-demographic context and social sustainability

  17. The Sociodemographic Context Ethnic Disadvantage Diversity Population Residential Density Mobility

  19. In Summary… • Crime and disadvantage concentrate in particular places • Cannot “add conduits and stir” – the composition of the neighbourhood and the coalescence of land use types important for social life • Disadvantage is pernicious • Segregates opportunities for particular groups in society • Erodes social sustainability • Increases violence • Key challenge for LGAs - must simultaneously design out crime and build in opportunities for quality social interactions in disadvantaged areas
