CONCEPT NOTES
Concept Notes:
Community a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.

Community Dynamics is the change and development involved in a community that includes all forms of living
organisms.

Community action is any activity that increases the understanding, engagement, and empowerment of communities
in the design and delivery of local services.

There are 3-key points in grasping the definition more meaningful:

Understanding – raise an awareness about certain communal issues that needs to be addressed. People develop the
feeling of involvement once they truly comprehend the situation within. They come together to support advocacies
that will overcome community needs and difficulties.

Engagement – Once issues are assessed properly and people in the community understand the needs, they work
collaboratively to act on it. The main goal of engaging in the community is to improve the partnership andcoalitions
among the community. It is important that engagement occurs so that members will be able to involve meaningfully
in the activities that they have created.
Empowerment – enable the people to independently decide, plan-out and take action to control the situation they
have in the community. This means, initiative and decisions come from internal group organized for the benefit of
everyone. It is also necessary that the community can provide significant networks andlinkages that will genuinely
serve the advocacies that they have built.

Community action includes a broad range of activities and is sometimes described as ‘social action' or ‘community
engagement'. These activities can vary in their objective, the role the community plays, the types of activities
involved, their scale, and their integration within the council. What they have in common is that they all involve
greater engagement of local citizens in the planning, design, and delivery of local services.

Community action is about putting communities at the heart of their own local services. Involving communities in
the design and delivery of services can help to achieve a number of objectives, including:

1. Building community and social capacity – helping the community to share knowledge, skills, and ideas.
2. Community resilience – helping the community to support itself.
3. Prevention – a focus on early access to services or support, engagement in design, cross-sector collaboration, and
partnerships.
4. Maintaining and creating wealth – for example helping people into employment or developing community
enterprises.
