BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS

When one wants to study a community, he should have a clear

understanding of what is a community, community dynamics and
community action. Communities are generally defined by their common
cultural heritage, language, beliefs, and shared interests. Community
dynamics is the change and development involved in a community that
includes all forms of living organisms, whereas community action is putting
communities as the center of service development and service delivery. This
initiative aims to cater the primary needs of the communities before
implementing it. In such way, community action will help the community
dynamics or the degree of improvement of the community. It is important
to understand these two because these will propel the success and stability
of the communities. They go hand in hand and are proportionally related.
The dynamics of a community is determined by its nature and
structure and how it reacts with external or internal forces. It is thus
important to recognize the characteristics and features of a community to
understand why it acts and reacts in a certain way. Here are the following
features of community:
1. A community has a sociological construct or a set of interactions or
human behaviors that have meaning and expectations between its
members.
2. A community has fuzzy or imprecise boundaries and has stayed that
way to this day people interact not only with fellows within their village but
also outside of it.
3. A community can exist within a larger community including districts,
regions, ethnic groups, nations, and other boundaries.
4. A community may move to find work for a living.
Moreover, a community, to have its dynamics at play, needs power
actors to bring about its needed change. These power actors should have
the capacity to influence the decision-making and distribution processes to
get things done in a community. This reality indicates that to work in a
community or to undertake community interventions is a challenging task.
Finally, development work requires understanding community dynamics
and processes.
