WHAT IS PLANNING AND CONCEPTING A SOCIAL
CHANGE
Social change is a change in the distribution

of goods, resources, roles, ideas or
relationships at a large scale and are often
related to changes in institutions, rules, laws
or infrastructure.
The components of social planning
include:
Needs assessment:
- This involves identifying the social issues
and needs that require attention.
Goal setting:
-This involves setting specific and
measurable goals that the social planning
process aims to achieve.
Strategy development:
-This involves developing strategies and
policies to address the identified social
issues.
Implementation:
-This involves putting the strategies and
policies into action.
Monitoring and evaluation:
-This involves assessing the
effectiveness of the social planning
process and making necessary
adjustments to achieve the desired
outcomes.
Understanding Social Change
Social change is a term used to
describe the changes that occur
in society over time. It
encompasses a wide range of
changes in social institutions,
behaviors, and relationships
among individuals and groups.
There are different types of social change,
each with its own characteristics. Evolutionary
change is a type of social change that occurs
gradually over a long period of time. This type
of change is characterized by small changes
that accumulate over time, resulting in
significant transformations. On the other
hand, revolutionary change is a sudden and
dramatic shift that often involves a significant
shift in power or social structure and is often
driven by political or social movements.
Relationship Between Social Planning
and Social change:
ocial planning and social change are closely
related concepts. Social planning involves the
deliberate and intentional effort to bring about
social change by identifying social problems,
setting goals and objectives, and developing
strategies and programs to achieve those
goals. Social change, on the other hand, refers
to the transformation of society over time.
Examples of Social Planning and Social Change in
Practice
Social Planning:
- Community Development Programs
Community development programs are an example of
social planning in action. These programs are designed to
promote social change by identifying and addressing the
needs of a specific community. They often involve
community members in the planning process, and can
include initiatives such as affordable housing, job training
programs, and community gardens.
Social Planning: Environmental
Planning
Environmental planning is an
example of social planning that aims
to address environmental issues and
promote sustainable development.
This can include initiatives such as
green energy programs, waste
reduction strategies, and
conservation efforts.
Challenges Faced by Social Planning
and Social Change
While social planning and social
change can bring about positive
outcomes for society, they also face
a range of challenges. Here are
some of the key challenges faced by
social planning and social change:
Resistance to Change
-One of the main challenges of social planning and social change
is resistance to change.
Lack of Resources
-Social planning and social change initiatives require resources
such as funding, expertise, and infrastructure. However, often
such resources are limited, and social planners and change-
makers must work within budgetary constraints and seek out
alternative funding sources.
Short-Term Thinking
-Social planning and social change initiatives often require a long-
term perspective, yet many policymakers and community leaders
are focused on short-term outcomes and results.
Lack of Political Will
Social planning and social change initiatives often require
political will and leadership to bring about change.
Lack of Public Support

Social planning and social change initiatives often require
public support to be successful. However, gaining public
support can be challenging, especially if the issue at hand is
complex or controversial.
The Future of Social Planning and Social Change
First, technological advancements will play a major role in
shaping the future of social planning and social change efforts.
Second, demographic changes will require social planning and

social change efforts to adapt to meet the needs of different
populations.
Third, climate change and environmental concerns have

become critical issues and must be addressed through
sustainable development policies that prioritize environmental
protection and reduce carbon emissions.
