在农村发展政策和实践中，越来越重视社区的资产所有权和管理，强调赋权、包容和保障当地的未来。基于资产的社区发展和社区资本模型支持这一观点。对大多数人来说，这是实现地方社区权利的适当、规范转变的一部分。少数人对基本上不言而喻的挑战和风险感到担忧。我们在与图腾村落会堂相关的新数据的背景下回顾了这些争论。我们对347个村厅委员会进行了调查，并在资产框架内介绍了我们的调查结果。我们强调了其中的复杂性：建造的资产可能是负债；村厅的金融资产基础不健全；人力资产在继承和治理方面很脆弱。我们的研究结果表明，有必要评估资产所有权的复杂性；评估社区拥有资产的能力；在需要时提供支持；以及进行长期投资，而不是短期支出。因此，我们将资产所有权的规范性驱动定义为可持续经济发展的机制。
Within rural development policy and practice there is increasing emphasis on asset ownership and management by communities, emphasizing empowerment, inclusion and securing of local futures. Asset-Based Community Development and Community Capitals models support this view. To the majority, this is part of an appropriate, normative shift towards realizing rights of place-based communities. A minority have concerns over the largely unspoken challenges and risks. We review these contentions within the context of new data relating to the totemic rural village hall. We conducted a survey of 347 village hall committees, and present our findings within an assets framework. We highlight complexities where: built assets may be liabilities; the financial asset-base of village halls is not robust; human assets are vulnerable in terms of succession and governance. Our findings show the need for: assessing complexities of asset ownership; evaluating community capacity for asset ownership; providing support where required; and longer-term investment rather than short-term spend. We thus qualify the normative drive towards asset ownership as the mechanism for sustainable economic development.
