Local festivals, social capital and sustainable destination development: experiences in East London

This paper explores the nature of social capital arising from engagement in local festivals and the implications of this for the social sustainability of an emerging destination. Two case studies are developed from a longitudinal research project which investigates local festivals staged in the Hackney Wick and Fish Island area adjacent to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London, UK between 2008 and 2014. This area has been directly affected by extensive development and regeneration efforts associated with the staging of the London 2012 Olympic Games. The two festivals considered here respond to the challenges and opportunities arising for local people as the area changes. One festival aims to foster a sense of community by creating shared experiences and improving communication across diverse groups. The other draws together the cultural community, links them to the opportunities arising as the area emerges as a destination, and attracts visitors. These festivals increase social capital in the area, but its distribution is very uneven. The accrual of social capital exacerbates existing inequalities within the host community, favouring the “haves” at the expense of the “have nots”. There are tensions between the development of social capital and social sustainability in this emerging destination

New national and regional bryophyte records, This is the first record of Campylopus subulatus, Racomitrium elongatum and Taxiphyllum wissgrillii for the Liguria Region. Campylopus subulatus was found on small serpentinite outcrops occupied by a discontinuous plant community, with a paucispecific contingent of phanerogams dominated by succulent chamaephytes and therophytes (refered to the Sedo-Scleranthetalia order) and a richer contingent of bryophytes including Racomitrium elongatum Frisvoll, Hypnum callichroum Brid., Ceratodon purpureus (Hedw.) Brid., Grimmia donniana Sm., Dicranum scoparium Hedw. and Bryum Hedw. spp. These outcrops occur in a marshy area, mainly characterised by mountain grasslands and beech forests growing in a sub-oceanic climate. Racomitrium elongatum was found on serpentinite outcrops within the Beigua Regional Natural Park, in a beech forest and in marshy mountain grassland. Taxiphyllum wissgrillii was found a serpentinite outcrop in a deciduous mesophilic forest dominated by beech (Fagus sylvatica L., referring to the Fagion silvaticae alliance), in the Beigua Regional Natural Park

The genus Asterella is widely represented in the New World, with about 18 species, from North America to Southern South America. According to Bischler et al. (2005), 10 species are found in the Neotropics. This report accounts for the presence of A. chilensis, an austral species, in Uruguay. Therefore, constituting its first record within the Neotropics boundariesFil: Ellis, L. T.. Natural History Museum; Reino UnidoFil: Afonina, O.M.. Russian Academy of Sciences.
