Regeneration Flashcards
How is engagement measured?
through
- voter turn out (Westmorland and Lonsdale vs Manchester central)
- community groups
What are some factors affecting engagement?
Factors affecting community groups;
- Age= highly likely to attend, have more time as no job, have lived in area longer so positive lived experience and positive place perception
- Deprivation level= financial benefits more likely but lack of time due to multiple jobs could make it less likely or negative place perception
- First generation immigrants= less likely as lack of lived experience, language barriers and lack of confidence
Factors affecting voter turnout;
- Age= increasingly likely older people have more say and more powerful
- Deprivation level; could be less likely as lack of education or knowledge or more likely as want to make a change due to negative lived experience. New ID rules mean less likely as dont have ID/drivers license. stopped 14,000 people voting in England local elections 2023
- Immigration status= less likely as dont have access/language barriers. they dont feel they know who to vote for and less antiquated with the area

- Community groups may increase; on a local scale as conflict with other cities unite the members of towns/cities
