The survey conducted to the community was used to facilitate a tourism strategy that incorporates community perspective by addressing resident views and concerns about impacts that may happen. The locals are divided on the issue of supporting tourism, but there is a strategy for their involvement, as it is essential for successful tourism development; tourists do not like an antagonism community plus they are part of the destinations attraction. The research is an important contribution to the tourism research as a whole, as resident attitudes to tourism development of the planning process is under researched. Attitudes are hard to change when set, so it is an accurate method of research. Autry, C. & Anderson, S. (2007).

Community members are concerned for the youth and want to improve their lives through controlled recreation by forming an advocacy group. The major themes of this article are neighbourhood atmosphere and organisation, parental circumstances, and parental involvement. The recreation program formed only lasted 4 months; the article tries to find out why it didnt have the intended effect by an in depth study of the factors that directly surround an individual, rather than studying whole groups, and the settings that are part of their ongoing life. The conclusions drawn were that recreation and leisure play a vital role within equality of the neighbourhood and engagement, which is agreeable. Outley, C. & Witt, P. (2006).

exist for many cultures and need behavioural guidelines to follow for cultural competency. This article states the obvious that not all young people are the same, which caused many programs and services to be unsuccessful, as they treat youth as a homogenous group. The role of cultural competency in programs towards youth in a particular environment is discussed with strict guidelines that need to be followed to be successful, which is also mentioned in Autry & Anderson (2007). In order for positive results there needs to be responsive environments constructed and specific attention towards programs relevant to youths diverse life experiences.

The arts are seen as a positive thing in this article, as they can facilitate personal and social behaviour development generally and in other curriculum areas. The main focuses are the socio-demographic, school and students, family, and outside school participation factors. The data shows that the factors explain the significant variance in youths attendance patterns, it is useful research to see which groups attend more, as then it would be easy to target and advertise events more directly.

The issues, themes, and problems surrounding the local government and music communities are explored in this article. Examples from with the area of an Irish local government, this article explores the development of arts in educational institutions, private music schools, voluntary music collectives and social networks to get an understanding of music in communities. Groups that are interested in music would fundamentally be exposed to it from a young age. Only recently the government, in Ireland, has become interested in the arts, as there is a need to improve the quality of life for local citizens and enhance cultural environment of the local community, the arts are recognised as a positive investment, which is agreeable.

To get youths involved in music, teachers need to get them to participate in festivals or competitions. This article is from the point of view of several different authors who organise or are involved with musical events that get young people involved and they explain how these events have created an interest in playing music competitively or non-competitively. These events are used as incentives to learn so they can enter successfully. Competition for local youths to play creates community participation and attendance. Using events as competitions work as positive motivational tools, as youths can direct their time passionately to something productive and get rewarded. Packer, J. & Ballantyne, J. (2010). The impact of music festival attendance on young peoples psychological and social well-being. Psychology of Music. Sage Publication, 164-181. doi:10.1177/035735610372611. Retrieved from: http://0pom.sagepub.com.prospero.murdoch.edu.au/content/39/2/164.full.pdf+html This article draws on academic concepts from psychology to interpret the impact of music festival attendance on partakers social and psychological well-being. The purpose of this research undertaken is to guide festival organisers and attendees to take advantage of the positive potential impacts of music festivals on young adults. The only negative impacts addressed in this article is the need for wider and further research for precision and the exposure to antisocial behaviours, drugs, and alcohol, which needs to be addressed fully. The health benefits of musical engagement extend across ones lifespan and have positive impacts on resilience within communities and individuals. Music festivals provide a venue that positively engages sections of the population who are usually difficult to reach. Houbolt, S. (2010).

This article explores the processes, impacts, and outcomes of some of the councils arts projects that aim to establish community cultural development. Art projects that seem to work well relate to the particular communitys people involvements are those linked by place, tradition interest and/or experiences. This article, like some of the previous ones, supports the direct relationship between youth arts projects and the health and well being of young people, their families and communities. Programs need to be consistency otherwise attendance is inconsistent, with slow progress in art-making due to under confidence and the newness of the experience. Johnson, A., Glover, T. & Yuen, F.

This article explores the successfulness of the connection between public officials, community representatives, and community participation in an urban redevelopment project. The intent in exploring these connections are seeing how useful government sponsors can be in building support in building community relationships and participation. Governments only tend to get involved if it is going to be successful and worthwhile and will reflect positively on them. Beresin, E. (1999). Media violence and youth.

Retrieved from: http://0search.proquest.com.prospero.murdoch.edu.au/docview/196504193/fulltextPD F?accountid=12629 The literature on violence in the media and its effects on youth are reviewed in this article. The impact of television can exposure youth to violence and aggression, it varies in each community relating to the programs and advertising aired. Music stations increase interpersonal violence and create false stereotypes that create issues of identity, race, ethnicity, and male-female relationships. Most youth groups are exposed to some type of media, which results in them having access to a wide range of information that could have aggressive effects on their character. The article advises that parents need to have control on what their children are exposed to, but it is hard when it is easily accessed. Music festivals would be easier to control the aggressive language and actions used by constraints on the artists, and it also brings youths in communities together. Roeper, J. & Savelsberg, H. (2009). Challenging the youth policy imperative: engaging young people through the arts. Journal of Youth Studies, 12:2, 209-225. doi:10.1080/13676260802672820. Retrieved from: http://0www.tandfonline.com.prospero.murdoch.edu.au/doi/pdf/10.1080/1367626080 2672820 The disadvantaged youth are discussed in this article. Policies that are designed to keep young people on track are often ignoring deeper development needs and are normally targeted towards high-functioning young people within educational and arts environments, not disadvantaged. At-risk or disadvantaged people are discussed as shunned and discouraged as there are panics about these youth, unlike the educated young people who get more programs as they deemed on track. Policies and programs need to be broader and flexible, encouraging participation in the arts, which is seen as less important. The things that are popular with advantaged youth seem to be rap music, breakdancing, and spray-painting, which are promoted as unhealthy and

sometimes illegal, but if they are controlled in programs youths may be engaged and empowered. Wright, R., John, L., Alaggia, R., & Sheel, J. (2006). Community-based Arts Program for Youth in Low-Income Communities: A Multi-Method Evaluation. Child and Adolescent Social Work Journal, 23, 5-6. doi:10.1007/s10560-0060079-0. Retrieved from: http://0search.proquest.com.prospero.murdoch.edu.au/docview/218373833 The results of this article evaluation indicate that high-quality arts programs have a significant effect on childrens in-program behaviour and emotional problems. This study assesses community based art programs located in five sites across Canada over extensive periods of time, which is excellent as it researches through a wide range of events and time periods and uses a control group to compare. Once low-income youths are involved and engaged in a program they gain artistic and social skills development as well as having emotional problems decreasing. Programs that include free transportation, snacks, frequent communication and no fees enhance youth engagement and sustained involvement. Parents also develop similar positive effects, which is great for the community as a whole. Total word count: 1439
