About the Journal

Velocity: Community Development and Empowerment Studies is a leading peer-reviewed journal dedicated to exploring the theory and practice of community development and empowerment across diverse contexts. Since its inception, Velocity has provided a platform for innovative research, critical dialogue, and progressive thinking aimed at fostering inclusive and sustainable community transformation.

The journal adopts a broad and interdisciplinary approach to community development—encompassing social policy, participatory planning, grassroots activism, capacity building, and empowerment strategies that directly influence the well-being and resilience of communities. We especially welcome articles that challenge conventional paradigms, document transformative practices, and critically examine the intersections of community development with equity, justice, and sustainability.

Velocity serves as a valuable resource for academics, practitioners, community leaders, policymakers, and students who are committed to meaningful social change. By connecting theory with real-world application, the journal encourages the co-creation of knowledge that empowers communities and advances the global discourse on development and empowerment.
