The governmental, nonprofit, and even business sectors, as well as citizen organizations working to promote more sustainable and healthful sources of food, culture, and livelihoods in their local towns and regions, are all becoming increasingly interested in locally focused concerns. Changes in social and economic systems (e.g., livelihoods, empowerment, participation, and health effects) are also implied by local systems, and vice versa. The practice of adapting or implementing modifications to a product, material, procedure, or policy for a particular region or location is known as localization.

These areas from many social and economic systems are combined in local development and society. Global interest in localism is growing, and our goal is to build a database of interdisciplinary academic studies conducted locally that will be incorporated into national, provincial, state, and local practices.

The journal will examine the advantages and disadvantages of local development and compare the applicability of findings from scholarly study and practice to local communities. The magazine encourages theoretical and empirical study in a range of regional settings with the goal of bolstering academic institutions and organizations that conduct studies on society and community development. Among the topics of interest are geography, economics, sociology, planning, and other fields.

Diverse social scientists, planners, researchers, policy makers, students, and practitioners will find the global breadth interesting.
