What does the 21st Century Settlement look like? The case of Pembroke House.

英国的定居点运动始于19世纪80年代初，目的是提供一个可以发展积极伙伴关系的空间，在那里，受过良好教育的大学可以生活在贫困社区中，发展社会团结，以共同建设更好的社区。这些定居点提供教育、培训、家庭医疗和娱乐活动等邻里服务。在伦敦东端和东南部建立了各种定居点。彭布罗克之家是130多年前由剑桥大学彭布罗克学院的学生创建的为数不多的以居住为基础的定居点之一。在20世纪，定居点提供的许多福利服务变得市民化，并随着福利国家的出现而衰落。然而，彭布罗克之家仍然保留了居住为中心的特征，并为六名居民提供住宿，博士生将成为其中之一。今天，彭布罗克之家是许多社区活动的中心，除了主办其中的许多活动，它还扮演着诚实的经纪人的角色，将不同的组织和机构聚集在一起，开发创新的社区倡议。随着由国家、慈善机构、社会企业、非营利组织和私营部门组成的日益多元化的社会福利格局，迫切需要这种类型的组织，能够将不同的组织聚集在一起做社会公益，并相应地需要调查如何做到这一点，以及像彭布罗克之家这样的和解协议可以发挥什么作用。这项提案将调查聚落概念如何适应21世纪的邻里行动。这项研究将调查以下问题：1.聚落如何与其他组织和机构互动？2.聚落领导层如何在聚落中发挥作用？3.聚落如何作为诚实的中间人发挥作用？4.聚落概念为当地社区提供了什么？5.当地社区如何看待聚落，使用者和非使用者？6.聚落如何可持续？7.聚落的适当规模是多少？8.什么样的地理环境适合这种类型的社区组织？9.“居住权”的概念提供了什么角色？这项研究的一个重要方面是，学生将作为居住者生活在彭布罗克学院内，从而被嵌入研究空间。这为学生进行人种学研究和讲述彭布罗克之家的故事提供了完美的语境。单一案例研究方法将使研究人员能够对彭布罗克之家的工作建立一个丰富和深入的叙事。学生将成为彭布罗克之家团队的重要成员，并将在研究过程中分享和交流知识和经验。

The Settlement Movement in England began in the early 1880s to provide a space where an active partnership could be developed, where the university educated 'well-to-do' could live within poor communities to develop a social solidarity in order to build a better neighbourhood together. The settlements provided neighbourhood services such as education, training, home medicine and recreational activities. Various settlements were established in the east end and south east London. Pembroke House is one of the few surviving residence-based settlements that was founded over 130 years ago by students of Pembroke College, University of Cambridge.During the 20th century many of the welfare services that settlements provided became municipalised and declined with the advent of the Welfare State. Most of those that continued lost their feature of 'residence', however, Pembroke House, still retains residence as a central feature and provides accommodation to six residents, the PhD student will become one of these.Today, Pembroke House is a hub for a number of community activities, as well as hosting many of these it also acts as an honest broker that brings various organisations and agencies together to develop innovative community initiatives. With an increasingly pluralist social welfare landscape consisting of state, charity, social enterprise, not for profit and private sectors there is a desperate need for these type of organisations that can bring disparate organisations together to do social good and a corresponding need to investigate how this might be done and what role a settlement such as Pembroke House could play. This proposal will investigate how the settlement concept fits into neighbourhood action in the 21st century.The study will investigate the following questions:1. How does the settlement interact with otherorganisations and agencies?2. How does leadership work in a settlement?3. How can a settlement work as an honest broker?4. What does the settlement concept offer to a localneighbourhood?5. How is the settlement perceived by the local community,both users and non- users?6. How can a settlement be sustainable?7. What is the appropriate size for a settlement?8. Which geographical contexts are appropriate for this typeof community organisation?9. What role does the concept of 'residency' provide?An integral aspect of this research is that the student will be imbedded in the research space by living within Pembroke House as a resident. This provides the perfect context for the student to carry out an ethnographic study and "tell the story of Pembroke House". The single case study approach will allow the researcher to build a rich and in-depth narrative of the work of Pembroke House. The student will be an integral member of the Pembroke House team and will share and exchange knowledge and experiences during the research process.
