 What is It

• Community is a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific

locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical
heritage.
• Community is all the people living in an area or a group or groups of people
who share common interests.
• Community is a locality inhabited by such a group.
• Community is a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common
characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some
respect from the larger society within which it exists.
• Community is a group of people living in the same place or having particular
characteristics in common.

• Community action is any activity that increases the understanding,

engagement and empowerment of communities in the design and delivery of
local services.
• 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.

Why is community action important?

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.

• Role of the Community

The role of the community includes the following: community consultation,
joint planning, joint design, joint delivery and community-led activities.

4
Types of community activities:

• Asset transfer -either through formal transfer to bodies such as parish councils
or community interest companies, or transfer of their management to local
community and voluntary groups
• Making better use of physical resources, such as council-owned buildings, to
• support community-led activities.
• Community engagement in decision-making (for example through public
engagement events where the community helps to decide local priorities, co-
design or co-commission services).
• Community networks
• Community grants

• Community dynamics applies to any changes taking place within a

group. Such improvements can be made by collective action. Community
shifts arise when decision makers or members take action.
• Such activities relate to the creation or advancement of goods, services and
policies that specifically support a particular community. Factors such as the
needs of the society, the interests of the citizens and the availability of
resources have been addressed in the process. Community dynamics and

5
 collective intervention fall under the umbrella of economics because they are
highly dependent on human resources [the labor force]. Those are mentioned,
but it is fair to suggest that economics plays a critical role in the understanding
of community dynamics through collective action.

What’s More

Task 1:
Determine and list down community developments that happened in your
particular community in terms of education, population, health care, employment,
peace and order, and infrastructure projects. Write your answer in your notebook.
