Abstract:
|
In urban sociology literature, most research on neighborhood/community identity and change utilizes a range of social and economic indicators. Sociologists use demographic measures and indicators for “social organization and disorganization” such as crime, divorce, voluntary associations, and churchgoing to study neighborhood identity and change. At the same time in marketing literature, researchers delimit neighborhoods/communities by demographic measures. Marketers further augment community level demographic measures with various consumption indicators. Furthermore, consumption literature usually speaks to cultural and consumptive aspect of social differentiation. This project integrates these ways of identifying homogeneous communities by studying patterns of consumption across Chicago’s seventy-seven neighborhoods. In particular, I seek to clarify if consumption is in fact a leading indicator of community change or community identity, when compared with the customary list of organization and disorganization variables. |

| Marc M. Sanford Redefining Neighborhoods and Communities: A Preview of Current Research Researchers are no longer asking how neighborhood and community are being constituted or if old conceptions of neighborhood in fact hold. Currently neighborhood and community are taken for granted concepts. We assume that everyone lives in a neighborhood or community. Furthermore researchers assume that the terms neighborhood and community mean the same thing and are similarly understood as such by others. Thus the terms are frequently used |
