Abstract This study explores the role of Community Capacity Building (CCB) in promoting local development, with a specific focus on leadership as a key component within the context of the Hyderabad Cantonment community. Being the 7th biggest city of the country and one of the oldest Urban area of the country (established in 1874), Hyderabad Cantonment is in a critical stage of urban development.The role of leadership is pivotal in bringing local development in the city and this area has been explored as an important aspect as we have to examine its role in ccb for the development of this city analyzed thematically and statistically. Using a mixed-methods research design, the study combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to provide a comprehensive understanding of how leadership influences development outcomes at the local level. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews with 13 individuals from diverse backgrounds, including local residents, businessmen, and community leaders. These interviews, conducted in Urdu and Sindhi, were transcribed into English and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes and community insights. A deductive thematic analysis was made to reach comprehensive results addressing the research objectives. Furthermore, in order to reach at more conclusive results, the quantitative data were gathered through structured questionnaires administered from 50 purposively selected respondents, targeting specific aspects of leadership effectiveness and community engagement. The responses were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 26 to identify patterns and trends. The findings reveal that strong, participatory, and transparent leadership significantly contributes to community mobilization, trust-building, and the effective implementation of community development initiatives which has been a lacunae in Hyderabad Cantonment. Further, the role of woman leadership is also lagging behind with some social and cultural barriers revealed in interviews. The local leadership also lack the support and vision to take practical measures for collecting funds and requisite resources from public as well as private forums, thus community engagement is untapped in the area. However, the study also highlights limitations, including the lack of comparable sister organizations and the respondents’ inability to benchmark their leaders against others within the same city.
Abstract Questo studio esplora il ruolo del Community Capacity Building (CCB) nella promozione dello sviluppo locale, con particolare attenzione alla leadership come componente chiave nel contesto della comunità del Cantone di Hyderabad. Essendo la settima città più grande del paese e una delle aree urbane più antiche del paese (fondata nel 1874), il Cantone di Hyderabad si trova in una fase critica dello sviluppo urbano. Il ruolo della leadership è fondamentale per favorire lo sviluppo locale in città e quest'area è stata esplorata come un aspetto importante, in quanto è necessario esaminare il suo ruolo nel CCB per lo sviluppo di questa città, analizzandolo tematicamente e statisticamente. Utilizzando un disegno di ricerca a metodi misti, lo studio combina approcci qualitativi e quantitativi per fornire una comprensione completa di come la leadership influenzi i risultati dello sviluppo a livello locale. I dati qualitativi sono stati raccolti attraverso interviste approfondite con 13 persone di diversa estrazione, tra cui residenti locali, imprenditori e leader della comunità. Queste interviste, condotte in urdu e sindhi, sono state trascritte in inglese e analizzate utilizzando un'analisi tematica per identificare temi chiave e approfondimenti sulla comunità. È stata condotta un'analisi tematica deduttiva per raggiungere risultati completi in linea con gli obiettivi della ricerca. Inoltre, al fine di raggiungere risultati più conclusivi, i dati quantitativi sono stati raccolti tramite questionari strutturati somministrati a 50 intervistati appositamente selezionati, focalizzati su aspetti specifici dell'efficacia della leadership e del coinvolgimento della comunità. Le risposte sono state analizzate statisticamente utilizzando SPSS versione 26 per identificare modelli e tendenze. I risultati rivelano che una leadership forte, partecipativa e trasparente contribuisce in modo significativo alla mobilitazione della comunità, alla creazione di fiducia e all'efficace attuazione di iniziative di sviluppo comunitario, lacune che hanno caratterizzato il Cantonment di Hyderabad. Inoltre, anche il ruolo della leadership femminile è in ritardo, con alcune barriere sociali e culturali emerse dalle interviste. La leadership locale manca inoltre del supporto e della visione per adottare misure concrete per raccogliere fondi e risorse necessarie da forum pubblici e privati, il che rende il coinvolgimento della comunità poco sfruttato nell'area. Tuttavia, lo studio evidenzia anche dei limiti, tra cui la mancanza di organizzazioni sorelle comparabili e l’incapacità degli intervistati di confrontare i propri leader con altri all’interno della stessa città.
