About this title

Synopsis

Community is perhaps the greatest challenge facing us today. Social work practitioners need to work within communities to assist them in formulating and moving toward their goals, while at the same time working between communities so that the gains of one do not come at the expense of another. As in previous editions, this book is intended to help anyone interested in the development of community with the nuts and bolts of community creation, competence, sustenance, and enhancement. The book begins with an overview of tactics, using the case of the location of a homeless shelter in a college town as the lead example, then moves on to consider issues of assessment, option development and decision-making, mobilisation and planning, evaluation and change, and administration and management. The focus throughout is on practical problems.
