Abstract
WISERD celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Over time it has grown into an international research institute that develops the next generation of research leaders. Our research brings together different disciplines (geographers, economists, sociologists, data scientists, political scientists) to address important issues for civil society at national and international levels. Our social science core provides a strong foundation for working with other disciplines including environmental science, engineering and medicine to transform our understanding and approaches to key areas of public concern. Our aim is to provide evidence that informs and changes policy and practice. This Centre will build on all previous WISERD research activities to undertake an ambitious new research programme. Our focus will be on the concept of civic stratification. This is a way of looking at divisions in society by focusing on the rights and obligations and practices of citizens and the role of civil society organisations in addressing inequalities in those rights and obligations. We will examine and analyse instances where people do not have the same rights as others (for example people who are migrants or refugees). We will also look at examples of people and groups working together within civil society to win new rights; this is referred to as civic expansion. Examples might include campaigns for animal rights or concerns about robots and Artificial Intelligence. We will investigate situations where people have the same rights but experience differences in their ability to access those rights; sometimes referred to as civic gain and civic loss (for example some people are better able to access legal services than others). Lastly, we will explore how individuals and groups come together to overcome deficits in their rights and citizenship; sometimes referred to as forms of civil repair. This might include ways in which people are looking at alternative forms of economic organisation, at local sustainability and at using new technologies (platforms and software) to organise and campaign for their rights. Our centre will deliver across four key areas of activity. First our research programme will focus on themes that address the different aspects of civic stratification. We will examine trends in polarization of economic, political and social rights, looking at how campaigns for rights are changing and undertaking case studies of attempts to repair the fabric of civil life. Second, we will extend and deepen our international and civil society research partnerships and networks and by doing so strengthen our foundations for developing further joint research in the future. Third, we will implement an exciting and accessible 'knowledge exchange' programme to enable our research and evidence to reach, involve and influence as many people as possible. Fourth, we will expand the capacity of social science research and nurture future research leaders. All our research projects will be jointly undertaken with key partners including civil society organisations, such as charities, and local communities. The research programme is broad and will include the collection of new data, the exploitation of existing data sources and linking existing sets of data. The data will range from local detailed studies to large cross-national comparisons. We will make the most of our skills and abilities to work with major RCUK research investments. We have an outstanding track record in maximising research impact, in applying a wide range of research methods to real world problems. This exciting and challenging research programme is based on a unique, long standing and supportive relationship between five core universities in Wales and our partnerships with universities and research institutes in the UK and internationally. It addresses priority areas identified by the ESRC and by governments and is informed by our continued close links with civil society organisations.

| Title | [2019] Power, S. Infographic: Growing up in Wales: school students' perspectives and experiences |
| Description | Ten bilingual (Welsh/English) infographic postcards produced to display the results of the WISERD Education Multi-Cohort Study (WMCS). The postcards help to explain findings on school students' perspectives and experiences of growing up in Wales. The WMCS gathered young people's views on their teachers, school trips, why they've been asked to leave the classroom and why they've been given a detention. We also asked about the GCSE subjects they've chosen and their awareness of vocational education. We've also asked them about growing up in Wales more generally, including their awareness of and engagement with the Welsh Youth Parliament, their views and experiences of money and gambling, 'technoference' and how they spend their time outside of school. These postcards have been made available to stakeholders and other interested parties at engagement events or on request. |

| Description | Ten bilingual (Welsh/English) infographic postcards produced as a result of the WISERD Education Multi-Cohort Study (WMCS). The postcards help to explain findings on life in lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic. The WMCS surveyed young people in Years 7-12 about their home learning experiences during summer 2020, what they miss and whether they should be allowed to see friends. In addition to asking about resources for schoolwork, time spent learning and going to school during lockdown, we asked young people about their worries, how they had been helping out during lockdown and their daily habits. We also asked them about changing interests in politics, and knowledge of devolution in the context of different lockdown rules in Wales and England. |

| Description | Much of WISERD Civil Society research is ongoing and covers a very broad range of issues. These findings are organised under key themes of work.. Labour markets and inequality: Comparative work in Appalachia and Wales confirms that the mining industry's decline has weakened civic society and the broader social fabric of these areas and this is related to a wide range of health outcomes and inequalities. Moreover, social trust is lower in these coalfield areas and this may have contributed vaccine hesitancy and lower compliance with public health measures. Research on the garment industry in Pakistan found extreme deficiencies in some of the most basic provisions for worker safety in garment production in Pakistan. Worryingly, in factories where women account for the majority of workers, only three quarters of workers reported that they had access to escape routes that were clear from obstruction. The report concludes that global brands should commit to expanding and implementing the legally binding International Accord for Health and Safety in the Textile and Garment Industry. Findings addressing trade union membership show that an increased propensity for union membership in ex-mining areas revealing that particular places can serve as conduits of trade unionism, long after employment within traditional industries has vanished. This is important because our research has also found that insecure working hours is reduced by workplace level employee involvement exercised individually or through collective representation while the strength of employee involvement is associated with innovation. New estimates of trade union membership derived for detailed geographical areas across Great Britain. reveal wide variations in union density across the country and within particular regions. Over the period 2000-2021, union density is shown to vary between 10% in Kensington and Chelsea to 54% in Copeland, Cumbria. Such differences in union membership reflect both the industrial heritage of particular areas and current employment within unionised sectors. A longitudinal case study of a campaign by Turkish garment workers, seeking remedy for lost earnings and severance payments due factory closure and wage theft illustrates how the workplace is conceptualised as a key 'arena of disarticulation' in the apparel value chain, central in simultaneously embedding and dis-embedding commitments by brands, the state and employers, such that even wages for work done may be denied to workers with relative impunity. This raises questions about the extent to which promises made in abstraction at the international level can hope to guarantee conditions at workplace level. Analysis of disability-related labour market inequality in the UK during COVID-19 finds that disabled workers face greater COVID-19 economic and health risks pre-pandemic. Moreover, disability gaps in employment and pay exhibit minimal change one year post-pandemic and disabled workers have a markedly larger rise in being temporarily away from work. Analysis of data from the National Survey for Wales found living in an area where one's group is in the minority is associated with poorer mental health. This is most commonly shown for ethnic groups, but evidence for this also applies to social class. A group density association with mental health was found for cultural but not economic aspects of class. Removing surgical requirements for transgender people to be able to reassign gender on birth certificates increases the employment of female to male transgender people but has no effect on male to female or gender non-conforming transgender people. Findings on same sex couples in the labour market found that gay cohabitees and lesbians face a wage premium compared to their heterosexual counterparts. Decomposition results revealed that for gay cohabitees this arises due to differences in observable characteristics, while lesbians not only earn significantly more due to differences in their observable characteristics, but they also receive a higher return for these characteristics. However, the findings also showed that legally partnered gay men face barriers to advancement to senior positions. Community and Access to services: The Understanding Welsh Places project investigates place dependency and resilience in Wales, demonstrating how dependent or independent towns are on neighbouring places across a series of common public, commercial and social assets. The research investigates the spatial relationships of these dependencies within the context of settlement sizes, local authority types and population movement. The research has become significant with the COVID19 pandemic throwing into sharp relief the spatial inequalities in place resilience in Wales, with some places better positioned to cope with lockdowns than others, especially in the ability for people to stay local when accessing goods and services. By incorporating multiple travel modes into GIS-derived measures research reveals disparities in access to sport facilities via alternative travel modes at different spatial scales. The research highlights instances where cycling may offer similar access levels to private car travel and demonstrates how active travel and public transport can be used to monitor the provision of recreational opportunities with important implications for policy decisions. Floating Catchment Area (FCA) accessibility approaches were applied to a dataset of Wales bank branches for the period 2019 to 2021 and cross corroborated with bank closure data collected by the UK consumer group Which? The findings demonstrate how temporal variations in accessibility can be used to examine potential patterns of exclusion that arise from the loss of key services. To understand the full impact of service closures on rural communities any assessment of changes in accessibility needs a holistic approach that considers changes in the transport infrastructure alongside other facets of service provision. Aggregate-level analysis of social care provision may hide geographical differences in the local provision of care services. WISERD research using geographical modelling techniques can examine local trends in the supply of social care services in relation to potential demand and finds for residential and nursing care beds in Wales for March 2020, a concentration of care home sites in metropolitan areas and in the heavily populated post-industrial valleys in the south-east. But significant demand present in these areas ameliorates concentration scores towards mid-range ratios. Place-based field investigations of civil society at local level found the concept of civil society is contested and multifaceted while identity, connection with place and the impact of social and spatial boundaries have impact roles to play in the everyday production of civil society during periods of social and economic transformation. Rights and Citizenship: Findings based on an analysis of political parties' formative policy record on refugees' and asylum seekers' welfare in party manifestos for state-wide and meso-elections in the UK, 1964-2019 confirm relational contrasts in issue-prioritization and the framing of pledges - between parties and across polities. Analysis of UK and devolved government level of responses to international human rights treaty obligations revealed a raft of shortcomings including a poor monitoring and enforcement, gaps in social protection and discrimination. We have also found that local civil society responses to a "refugee crisis" can be understood not only as instances of hospitality and solidarity but also as practices of locality production. Discourse analysis of cso s' reports on children's rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (opt) to the UN's monitoring mechanism, the Universal Periodic Review (upr), shows children are affected by a raft of violations including: sexual abuse, violence and inadequate access to health and education. The Israeli state's engagement with the upr, whilst denying responsibility for the opt, raises questions about legitimation and performativity. The documented pathologies are compounded by state repression of civil society. Analysis of state and civil society organizations' (CSOs) perspectives on the contemporary situation of human rights defenders (HRD) in South Asia using submissions to the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), the United Nations five-yearly monitoring process, highlights how their engagement is characterized by performativity and legitimation. Analysis of CSOs' UPR discourse reveals that HRDs face a raft of rights violations, including threats, violence and murder. Their work is being curtailed by increasing state restrictions on freedom of association and expression. The malaise is compounded by impunity for offenders, corrupt practices and governments' failure to respond to earlier UPR recommendations. The analysis shows a strong gendered dimension to HRD oppression with women HRDs particularly vulnerable to all types of violation. These findings underline the extension to South Asia of what international analysis elsewhere has dubbed a 'counter-associational revolution', or the rise, spread and contagion of restrictive legislation. This threat to democracy in the region shows that key reforms are urgently required, including measures to ensure the justiciability of the UN Declaration on HRD. Analysis of the corpus of civil society organizations' (CSO) submissions to the United Nations Universal Periodic Review (UPR), reveals how governments' failure to reform the law with respect to LGBT + people in Caribbean Community (CARICOM) countries is often based on public opposition grounded in religious conservatism. Moreover, the endurance of anti-LGBT + colonial era legislation is shown to underpin a raft of rights pathologies and reinforce prejudice and negative social attitudes. The principal rights breaches stem from systemic institutional discrimination, and include violence, hate crimes and harassment; police malpractice and denial of justice; as well as failings in healthcare and social protection. Analysis of framing in the civil society UPR corpus reveals the personal impacts of on LGBT + people, including criminalization, victimization, stigma, fear and lack of self-worth. Multidisciplinary research exploring the opportunities and challenges facing civil society in today's India and Bangladesh provides insights into contemporary understanding of citizenship, gender rights and social identities. Our analysis reveals how women's organisations and movements have played a vital role, not just in strengthening women's agency but also in fighting for their rights and enhancing their participation in the public sphere. But women's movements do not necessarily always represent women's issues. This is because many women's movements are often preoccupied with the larger question of equality and justice but are detached from the everyday lived realities and problems of local women. Our analysis also reveals powerful testimony of how Muslim minorities in India and Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh are subject to ongoing rights violations. Analysis of a data set of 2500 public petitions on animal welfare, submitted over three terms of the UK parliament showed that, while few directly secure policy change, e-petitions perform valuable legislative functions including campaigning, scrutiny and policy-influencing roles, foremost of which is linkage and fostering citizen engagement in parliamentary business. The research illustrates how, over the past decade, public petitions have significantly contributed to the increasing salience of animal welfare in UK politics. Analysis of BSAS data found that find that supporters of the Conservative party were by far the most likely to think that Brexit would be good for the NHS. Further analysis of BSAS reveals that workers employed in middling occupations, where both relative wages and employment have fallen, were significantly more likely than workers in high-paying occupations to indicate that the UK's long-term policy should be to leave the EU. This view was particularly noticeable amongst males with middling occupations in the post-recessionary period between 2012 and 2015 and had increased significantly relative to the mainly pre-recessionary period between 2004 and 2008. A review of the literature suggests that resistance and dissent continue to be marginal to most attempts at understanding the global political economy. Dissent is central to the constitution of power relations in the global political economy. Moreover, the effect of dissent cannot be reduced to the capacity to influence public policy. Volunteering and participation: We found the propensity to volunteer was marginally associated with a contextual measure of local voluntary opportunities, but this association was not retained following adjustment for other factors. This suggests that much of the area-level variance in the propensity to volunteer is explained by spatial variations in compositional factors. Research on third sector representation and participation reveals equalities representation is restricted by institutional expectations for the third sector's unified voice. Furthermore, institutionalist discourses about the 'usual suspects' and scrutiny of the grassroot-professional paradox reveal how Welsh equalities representation is under threat. This analysis reveals the complex interaction of diverging uses of representation and participation that serve to undermine the legitimacy of expert knowledge on inequalities to inform state policy making in favour of populist constructions of the wider citizen voice. Analysis of the development of the Council of Social Service for Wales finds that the postwar British state did not take over the general governance of voluntary social action; voluntary actors maintained their presence throughout this period the context of relatively weak distinctive civil society institutions, the Welsh Council's resilience was striking. This territorial analysis challenges the focus of previous research on British/UK-level institutions and uncovers a previously largely unresearched set of voluntary action structures which partly counter-balanced statutory reforms, which were presented as 'national' in scope. Though state reforms aimed at de-localising some policies, our analysis underscores continuities in the social service role - and self-conception - of voluntarism, particularly through its relationship to local government around the ideas of partnership and shared working. Analysis of the National Survey for Wales found that while volunteering was marginally associated with a measure of local voluntary opportunities, hinting that the odds of formal volunteering are greater among those living in areas with more local voluntary organizations, this association was not retained following adjustment for other factors. This suggests that much of the area-level variance in volunteering is explained by spatial variations in compositional factors (i.e. the socio-demographic characteristics of individuals living in a certain place). Digital Citizenship: Since the COVID-19 outbreak, 'digital diasporas' worldwide have become more vulnerable with regard to their digital rights and are now facing unprecedented technopolitical risks. Hyperconnected Diasporas - raise concerns about government involvement in diaspora engagement initiatives, and the impact of social media platforms on diasporic citizens' data privacy, ethics, and ownership. In the European context, emerging digital citizenship regimes may have resulted in nation-state space rescaling, challenging the nation-state's heretofore privileged position as the only natural platform for the monopoly of technopolitical and sensory power. Five emerging digital citizenship regimes have been identified: (i) the globalised and generalisable regime called pandemic citizenship together with four intertwined city-regionalised digital citizenship regimes in certain European nation-states' urban areas; (ii) algorithmic citizenship, which is driven by blockchain and has allowed the implementation of an e-Residency programme in Tallinn; (iii) liquid citizenship, driven by dataism in Barcelona and Amsterdam; (iv) metropolitan citizenship in reaction to Brexit and reshuffled through data co-operatives in Cardiff; and (v) stateless citizenship, driven by devolution and reinvigorated through data sovereignty in Barcelona, Glasgow, and Bilbao. Drawing on qualitative interviews with moderators of online groups created by EU migrants living in Wales, UK, our findings reveal the diverse and sometimes ambivalent roles played by these groups, acting not only as networks of support for migrants ('communities of interest') but also driven by commercial motives. Foundational Economy: Research has explored the principles of the modern foundational economy and its role in renewing citizenship and informing public policy. Findings suggest that foundational economy experiments at different scales can foster radical social innovation through collective, rather than private, consumption. Case studies of initiatives and interventions around policy cornerstones including housing, food supply and water and waste management across Europe highlight the growing relevance of foundational economic thinking and its potential to provide a new political and social outlook on civil society, citizenship and social justice. A review and stakeholder analysis of food waste suggests that implementing Total Cost Accounting (TCA) may require a simplified supply system to enable a pathway to a functioning True Cost Accounted, sustainable food system. By emphasising the diverse, and often overlooked externalities of the food system, TCA can be informative to all stakeholder groups: It should be used to influence and positively change culture through all points of the food system. A qualitative study of community supported agriculture (CSA) in the UK found that CSA networks engage not just in business exchange but political activism and advocacy. CSA can be scaled up, out and down via institutionalisation, diffusion and education. The UK CSA network has greatly expanded in size and tactical scope since the Covid pandemic. A case study of the NWGD found that it was borne of political pragmatism with doubts expressed by participants that this equates to a substantial vision for the future of the North Wales economy. There were concerns that the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act is not embedded within the NWGD and low levels of understanding of foundational sectors. WISERD researchers made recommendations in the report to address these points. A study of city-region building in the Swansea Bay area suggests this (curtailed) model of economic development will exacerbate combined and uneven development, and furthermore it will not lead to the empowerment of civil society actors to be able to 'formulate an agenda, act and make change'. These issues have been further exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis, whereby, the very model of urban agglomeration is thrown into question. Participatory action research in Haringey and Plymouth found that by establishing enduring organisational structures where collective decisions can be made about who owns and manages land and assets, public-common partnerships (PCPs) could bolster already existing efforts to democratise urban development in both cities. As an organisational form, PCPs reframe the 'local' as a politics of proximity and as a new municipalist strategy they are well-suited to contesting the enclosure of urban landscapes. Scaling up (whether desired or not) is a perennial issue for community-supported agriculture. An investigation of local CSA networks in Wales and Germany shows that local collaboration enables CSAs to integrate their supply chains (scaling out), engage their communities (scaling deep), and participate in food councils (scaling up). Further networking at regional level helps new initiatives start up. The research also reveals competitive tensions between neighbouring CSAs, which constitutes a hitherto unknown challenge to CSA's potential scalability. A review of the literature found that whilst there are clear overlaps between the concept of the Foundational Economy and other theories of socio-economic development, it can be distinguished through its commitment to (a) a zonal perspective; (b) a focus on maximalist social innovations; and (c) the reconstitution of citizenship. It is argued that the lens of the Foundational Economy facilitates creative explorations of the political economy of alternatives. Qualitative case studies of different types of cooperatives/Employee Owned Businesses located in low-paid sectors of the economy in Wales: social care, transport and manufacturing confirm several positive employee outcomes emanating from employee ownership. Cooperatives/EOBs can make 'bad' jobs better, albeit depending on the extent, depth and degree of ownership and it is important to note that cooperative models not based on employee ownership are less likely to be associated with positive employee outcomes. Civil Society and Trust: WISERD research has shown how the uncertainties of the 21st century present existential challenges to civil society. These include changing modes of governance (through devolution and Brexit), austerity, migration, growing digital divides, issues of (mis)trust and democratic confidence, welfare delivery and the COVID-19 pandemic and the contemporary threat to minority languages and cultures. Analysis of European Social Survey data suggests that same-sex relationship recognition policies increase the trust that sexual minorities have in the actors and institutions that were integral to the policy change. The findings further suggest the existence of an incentive mechanism for politicians and political parties to follow public policies that reduce structural stigma of minority groups and improve their political trust. Ethnographic fieldwork and biographical interviews in a post-industrial village in North East Wales reveals the contemporary social and communal significance of the religious dimension in local civil society. Data on social change and participation in the locality include evidence of decline in religious affiliation and practice alongside the persistence of religion in the built environment, family ties, memory, and sense of belonging. Different territorial welfare mixes on adult social care (ASC) have emerged in the four nations of the UK. An exploration of policy actors' views on their effectiveness in the pandemic with reference to the role of institutions, trust and transparency highlights how the pandemic exposed existing pathologies and the need for reform in all four systems. Notably, the analysis shows how the present market-based tendering systems for allocating ASC contracts undermine inter-personal and institutional trust and compromise care quality. The wider significance of this lies in showing the pivotal role of trust during the emergency and that post-pandemic welfare reform needs to embed trust-building measures to deliver effective care. Education: Analysis of school online teaching in Wales during the Covid pandemic by means of the Hwb Digital Learning Platform found that during the lockdown, pupils and staff are more engaged with Hwb, with a peak in April 2020, however, engagement varied significantly not only across school sectors but also between Consortia and within them. Free School Meals (FSM) has commonly been used as a proxy for economic disadvantage or low socio-economic background within educational research in the UK. However, with the offer of FSM being expanded alternative measures are required. Our descriptive results show that not all pupils who are eligible for FSM are captured by the Census measures. Our findings indicate that socio-economic indicators from the Census - namely highest household qualification, approximated social grade and economic inactivity - all behave in a similar fashion to that of the proxy measure, FSM in association with pupil attainment. |

| Description | WISERD is building on the work undertaken under ES/L009099/1 to extend and deepen the impact it has already achieved and to create new forms of impact through its current programme of research. These are still early days for the workpackages under ES/S012435/1 to produce specific impact narratives but the Centre as a whole has achieved instrumental, conceptual and capacity building impact in the following areas: Outputs, Outcomes, Impact Covid 19: In agreement with the ESRC, WISERD adapted and repurposed its research to focus on the impacts of Covid-19 across a range of fields including civil society, education, labour markets, health and social care and geographical inequalities. Outputs - see WISERD Covid-19 report: policy responses and social consequences as well as a series of academic papers highlighting the impact of Covid in particular areas relevant to WISERD's research programme. Outcomes - providing written evidence to government, representation on govt committees and working with a range of policy actors. Impact - this body of work has had substantial impact on social and economic policy initiatives in Wales as well as public service provision. For example WISERD researchers have developed a corpus of research on trust, human rights, welfare and the third sector and evidence provided by the research team was used to inform a 2021 report and recommendations by the Senedd (Welsh Parliament) Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee on the Impact of Covid-19 on the voluntary sector. Children and Schools: Understanding the impact of COVID-19 on children is one of the most important issues researchers and policy-makers currently face. WISERD research has been repurposed to examine the impact of lockdown on learning and attendance and well-being. Outputs - WISERD has produced a series of infographic postcards to provide an accessible summary of the findings for professionals and other key stakeholders. Impact - this research has received significant media coverage and is providing evidence to inform Welsh Government policy on access to education during and beyond the Covid crisis. The Foundational Economy: WISERD's work on the Foundational Economy has informed a growing body of research and engagement. Outputs - a growing range of books, academic papers and blogs on empirical research undertaken across key foundational sectors at micro- meso and macro scales. Outcomes - WISERD has supported a Wales Foundational Economy Network that brings together interested parties across Wales including academics, think tanks, housing associations, environmental groups and community organisations. Impact - these activities have influenced Welsh Government thinking in this area leading in 2019 to the Welsh Government committing £4.5 to a Foundational Economy Challenge Fund to support a series of experimental projects to test how to best support the foundational economy and which Government interventions work best and a further tranche of £3m in funding was announced in January 2021. The network has developed into a limited company Foundational Economy Ltd and a membership organisation Foundational Alliance Wales - both of which continue to be partners with WISERD on events and policy engagement. Spatial Inequalities: A now large body of work has been undertaken on spatial inequalities and advanced GIS methods. Outputs: Series of academic papers, presentations, reports and blogs applying these advanced methods to specific issues form access to financial services, transport, disability and care. Outcomes - various forms of engagement Welsh government, Senedd, third sector and charities. Impact - research in collaboration with Tenovus Cancer Care is helping to ensure the provision of cancer treatment closer to patients' homes by extending the reach of mobile services. This work will allow Tenovus to treat patients closer to home, extend the reach of services, and help reduce the stress, anxiety and fatigue to the patient. Professor Gary Higgs received a USW Impact Award for this research. Data and open social science: The WISERD data portal and data integration programme is now well established and is making new data available to a wider community of interests. Outputs - Papers, reports and blogs on the data available and how to make use of it. Outcomes - a partnership with the Institute of Welsh Affairs and the Carnegie UK Trust together with funding from the Wales Innovation Network has led to an update and expansion to Understanding Welsh Places which is a bilingual website that presents information on the economy, demographic make-up and local services of more than 300 places in Wales in a quick and easy format. Impact - this was welcomed by the Welsh Government as an important resource for their Transforming Towns Agenda, by the IWA as a means of tracking the impact of Covid on local communities and by the Carnegie Trust as a means for local communities to renew the social, environmental and economic fabric of their neighbourhoods. Heritage and Policy Research: Outputs - series of papers on historiography of civil society organisations in Wales. Outcomes - Work in partnership with the Wales Council for Voluntary Organisations (WCVA) and The National Library of Wales has created a historically significant digital archive of the Annual Reports of WCVA and its predecessor organisations. Impact - WISERD has made this resource publicly and freely available for academic researchers and publics. |

| Description | [2021-09-16 to 2021-09-17] Berry, R. TCB Event: Automating map production in QGIS. Online |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Policy Influence Type | Influenced training of practitioners or researchers |
| Impact | Participants learnt how to automatically generate a batch of multiple maps from a single map layout template in QGIS, using the QGIS Atlas tool. Anyone who uses QGIS to produce maps is likely to have the need to create a series of maps of the same theme for multiple regions / points of interest. The 'manual' way of approaching this is to set-up a different map design template (QGIS Print Layout) for each geographical feature (e.g. region or point) in the database, but this can be a time-consuming and error-prone process, and multiple maps cannot be easily updated if changes to the design are required. The Atlas-based method requires only one map layout per theme, which has major advantages for improving the speed and quality of map production in certain circumstances - is it not always the optimal solution, and the limitations of this approach were highlighted during the session. Participants were able to work on two different case studies to develop their map automation skills using QGIS Atlas: firstly Basic topographic mapping of multiple regions (e.g. parishes, districts) and secondly Automation of socio-economic data mapping at local authority level (e.g. Index of Multiple Deprivation). By the end of the course participants had the skills and knowledge to be able to automate the production of maps in QGIS using their own data. This event was delivered by Dr. Robert Berry, Countryside and Community Research Institute, University of Gloucestershire. |

| Geographic Reach | Local/Municipal/Regional |
| Policy Influence Type | Influenced training of practitioners or researchers |
| Impact | This two-half day online training event is led by Dr Diarmuid McDonnell, University of the West of Scotland. It was aimed at researchers and analysts from any disciplinary background interested in employing network analysis for social science research purposes. Vast swathes of our social interactions and personal behaviours are now conducted online and/or captured digitally. Thus, computational methods for collecting, cleaning and analysing data are an increasingly important component of a social scientist's toolkit. Social Network Analysis (SNA) offers a rich and insightful methodological approach for uncovering and understanding social structures, relations and networks of association. This training series introduces participants to core concepts, data structures, and methods of analysis associated with SNA. The training consists of a mix of lectures, coding demonstrations, practical exercises, and group discussions. The training is suitable for individuals new to SNA and looking to gain a good grounding in the fundamentals of this methodology. |

WISERD is contributing support to WCVA (and the Cancer Charity MacMillan) by funding and line managing a Post-doctoral Research Fellow. Professor Paul Chaney also provided the WCVA with a review of the academic research literature on voluntarism that informed the WCVA's future strategy and workplan. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The WCVA support various WISERD activities, including presenting at events and seminars, and supporting the WISERD annual conference. |
| Impact | Impacts include the appointment of a Post-doctoral Research Fellow and a review of academic research literature on voluntarism. The latter informed the WCVA's published future strategy and workplan. |

| Organisation | Welsh Parliament |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | As part of this collaboration, Samuel Jones is responsible for providing expertise to the Senedd in both utilising and analysing geographical information - increasing Senedd Research's capacity to produce outputs and to respond to Member and Committee enquiries/inquiries which have a geographical context. He also has the responsibility for maintaining the Senedd's geographic datasets and GIS software and assisting with other areas of work, such as manipulating large datasets and web scraping. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Collaborating with colleagues in Senedd Research gives WISERD access to experts working across a variety of policy-relevant subject areas in Wales, including health and social policy, education and lifelong learning, environment and transport, the economy, communities and local government, and external and constitutional affairs, as well as the statisticians and data analysts in the finance and statistics team. Working alongside these experts offers both formal and informal opportunities for their knowledge to feed into WISERD's research, either directly or indirectly. The Senedd also provides a clear pathway to impact for WISERD's research. For example, by offering access to policymakers through the Senedd's Committees, which are responsible for scrutinising Welsh Government, or by offering possibilities to publish work through Senedd Research's blog, which has a high level of readership amongst policymakers, professional practitioners and the general public, particularly in Wales. As well as access to expertise and policymakers, the Senedd also provides access to datasets which WISERD would not otherwise have access to. |
| Impact | Key outcomes of this collaboration have included an academic fellowship which applied GIS techniques developed as part of WISERD's research to investigate changing access to banking services in Wales. This fed into the Senedd's Business Committee's work on changes to banking provision in Wales and was presented to the Committee as well as published in a Senedd Research blog. Other impact have included contributions from a data and analysis perspective to a range of Member enquiries, to the development of the Find My Member of the Senedd website tool, to the Youth Parliament project, and as part of Citizen Engagement consultations. |

| PI Contribution | The research undertaken as a result of this Fellowship, which was established as a part of Senedd Cymru's Academic Fellowship programme, looked to further inform research undertaken by Senedd Cymru's Economy Infrastructure and Skills Committee on access to banking services in Wales. More specifically, the Fellowship examined the potential impacts of on-going changes to financial services provision on local communities across Wales. Use was made of sophisticated spatial analysis techniques to better understand current patterns of financial services provision, the changes in provision over time (between 2008 and 2018) and the impact this has on key population groups (such as the elderly). It also evaluated which areas and their occupants could potentially be most impacted by any future reductions in physical banking infrastructure. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The Research Service at Senedd Cymru helped steer this research, ensuring that the research focused on areas that were of interest to Senedd Cymru's Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee, and helping to guide outputs. |
| Impact | The results of this partnership included the publication of a journal article, a research report and articles on the WISERD and Senedd Research blogs.

| PI Contribution | The Building Communities Trust approached WISERD for help identifying data to inform a quantitative research project being delivered in partnership with the British Red Cross. This project plans to explore the impact a lack of civic and community assets has in poorer communities across Wales. WISERD's contribution to this collaboration was to repurpose data collated as part of the Understanding Welsh Places project by aggregating it other geographic units, before providing this to the Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion for analysis. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion (OCSI) were responsible for analysing the data provided to them by WISERD, answering the research questions posed by the Building Communities Trust and the British Red Cross. The research is based on similar work carried out by OCSI for the Local Trust in England where they identified so-called 'left behind' neighbourhoods. |
| Impact | Following the work undertaken as a result of this collaboration, the Building Communities Trust wrote: 'In Autumn 2021 Building Communities Trust approached WISERD for help identifying data to inform a quantitative research project being delivered in partnership with the British Red Cross exploring the impact a lack of civic and community assets has in poorer communities across Wales. WISERD very kindly shared data relating to education, health, business, and the charity sector from their Understanding Welsh Places project. Access to these data sets has proven to be a valuable addition adding to the breadth, depth and robustness of our research aimed at improving policy and funding to those communities in Wales who most need it.' We are still awaiting the publication of their findings. |

| Description | Understanding Welsh Places is a web application designed to be the first point of call for statistical information about towns and communities in Wales. Carnegie UK Trust and the Institute of Welsh Affairs worked with representatives from the public, private and third sectors to develop a plan for the website, which was first released in October 2019 and included data on 300 places in Wales. In 2020, the second version of the web application was released - UWP2. WISERD further developed the site by adding new variables for each place, including on access to services, access to green space, broadband availability, numbers of public toilets, numbers of generative businesses and mental health statistics. Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) used these new variables to refresh the inter-relationship classification of places. WISERD also added new Population Flow maps, displaying data on migrations and daily trips within Wales and across the border to England. The Neighbourhood Maps section was also updated to include the new data described above, allowing users to view the small area variations within the datasets at their place of interest. |

| Year Established | 2020 |
| Impact | In October 2020 we produced our first policy report, entitled 'Serious about green'. This highlighted the failure of Welsh afforestation policy and brought wood economy back onto the public agenda as a priority for the new Climate Change ministry. We followed with policy reports for Welsh Government followed on food processing SMEs, Welsh town centres and NHS Wales. The first two of these three reports have now been published by Welsh Government and the report titled 'Small Towns, Big Issues: independent research report' is, according to the Welsh first minister in Senedd, now the basis for a reset of Welsh planning policy on towns. Another major report on "Jobs and Liveability" was commissioned and published by Karbon Homes, Newcastle. This report is now the basis for the "Fair Foundations" campaign by Karbon which aims to start "a new movement for left behind places", aiming to bring together anchor institutions and local authorities to make practical improvements in liveability. |

| Results and Impact | A briefing to Senedd Cymru's (the Welsh Parliament) Business, Infrastructure and Skills Committee on the research undertaken as part of Dr Mitchel Langford's Academic Fellowship. This briefing outlines the potential impacts of on-going changes to financial service provision on local communities across Wales. Use was made of sophisticated spatial analysis techniques to better understand current patterns of financial services provision, the changes in provision over time (between 2008 and 2018) and the impact this has on key population groups (such as the elderly). It also evaluated which areas and their occupants could potentially be most impacted by any future reductions in physical banking infrastructure. The findings were also published in a WISERD report and a blog post, posted on Senedd Research's blog. |

| Results and Impact | Y Lab's Innovative Future Services (Infuse) workshops are delivered to support local authorities in the Cardiff Capital Region to access new skills, methods and tools that improve their capacity and capability to innovate. Prof. Scott Orford, Samuel Jones and Katie Dickson were invited to deliver a two hour workshop to professional practitioners from 10 local authorities as part of the 'supportive communities' strand of the Data Lab. In the first hour they presented the website created as part of the Understanding Welsh Places (UWP) project as both an tool, which may be useful to professional practitioners looking for key metrics about their local area, and as an example of what can be done by making use of data that are mostly in the public domain. They also highlighted some of the issues faced when selecting and compiling the data for projects such as UWP. After a short break, the second half of the workshop gave the participants an opportunity to use with the website themselves and ask questions about the datasets included. As part of this, the presenters were able to discuss the availability of datasets that were of interest to the participants, such as those relating to land ownership, second homes, access to green space and digital accessibility. |
