Community Land Ownership and Community Resilience
Mangersta, Lewis (opens in new window)
This report discusses the main findings from a study of seventeen community land trusts in Scotland carried out in May 2011. The research set out to examine the links between community ownership of land and development of its assets, and the resilience of those communities.
Dr Sarah Skerratt of SAC’s Rural Society Research Team visited seventeen community land trusts in May 2011 to gather their response to six key questions. This report discusses the results of the study, which show that resilience can be built and is not only a characteristic of a few communities, it is multi-scale and it is achieved through deliberate actions or processes as well as through unplanned decisions and events. The report concludes by reviewing the key policy messages put forward by the community land trusts for the new Scottish Government.
