Staying on Country: Infrastructure Needs for Remote Community Viability

该项目引入了基础设施传记的概念，以重新审视从自决时代到今天的偏远社区形成的历史。使用人种学方法来了解基础设施遗产，旨在询问支持土著居民留在该国的治理和硬件要求。该项目将产生四个案例研究，其中包括澳大利亚北部和中部的社区恢复力工作。预期的好处包括加强对与可行性相关的基础设施问题的理解，并改善土著企业、非政府组织和政府在远程土著治理、维护计划和气候准备方面的政策战略。

This project introduces the concept of infrastructural biographies to revisit the history of remote community formations from the self-determination era to today. Using ethnographic approaches to understand infrastructural legacies, it aims to interrogate the governance and hardware requirements for supporting Indigenous residents to stay on country. The project will produce four case studies capturing community resilience efforts in northern and central Australia. Expected benefits include an enhanced understanding of infrastructural issues in relation to viability concerns, and improved policy strategies for Indigenous corporations, NGOs, and governments working on remote Indigenous governance, maintenance programs, and climate-readiness.
