摘要
社区参与在社区实践领域和一般社会工作中的作用在上个世纪不断演变。本期收录了保罗·斯图尔特的《来自档案:杰西·弗雷德里克·施泰纳在1922年评估社区组织》(斯图尔特,2022)。斯坦因1922年的文章《社区组织:对其兴起和最近趋势的研究》讨论了社区组织在社会工作中的起源,包括说明早期社区组织者使用的社区参与策略的案例研究例子。Stein将社区组织实践描述为关注“更大的社会群体,即社区的需求”,而“社会工作的另一个领域”(例如,直接实践)则关注“个人和家庭的问题”。Stein强调,与社区合作与与与个人和家庭合作是分不开的。Stein还将社区组织作为社会工作的一种形式进行了讨论,这种形式并不完全是新的,而是一种不可或缺的形式,并融入到社会工作中,以解决“社区生活条件”。Stuart(2022)强调了社区协作和参与作为社区组织实践核心的重要性。社会住区(如安置房)的作用被描述为“社区组织的本质”,因为它们在与他们工作的社区发展合作精神方面发挥着作用。社区组织的目的被视为通过为人们提供解决共同问题的机会来使他们社交。Stein讨论的案例研究说明了19世纪初各种形式的社区组织实践,包括通过组织、协会或福利机构之间的合作来解决娱乐、健康和其他公共福利问题的社区参与方式。Stein描述的大多数案例研究主要集中在参与和协作的组织形式上。然而,也有少数例外,社区组织工作让普通公民和居民参与建议和指导项目。例如,社区理事会运动(Community Council Movement)的管理委员会由官方社会和公民组织组成,它也让“社区人民在公开会议上选出的公民”参与进来。辛辛那提社会单位组织(Cincinnati social Unit Organization)也以更民主的方式让居民参与进来。社区中的每个街区都选举了一个街区委员会,并选择了自己的行政人员或街区工作人员,他们基本上扮演着与当今社区组织者相同的参与角色:《2022年社区实践建设杂志》,第30卷,第4期,351-358https://doi.org/10.1080/10705422.2022.2144061
Community engagement: evolution, challenges and opportunities for change
The role of community engagement in the field of community practice and generally in social work have continuously evolved over the last century. Included in this issue is “From the archives: Jesse Frederick Steiner assesses community organization in 1922” by Paul Stuart (Stuart, 2022). Stein’s 1922 article “Community organization: A study of its rise and recent tendencies” discusses the origins of the community organization in social work, including case study examples that illustrate community engagement strategies used by early community organizers. Stein described community organization practice as focusing on “the needs of the larger social group, the community,” while “the other area of social work” (e.g., direct practice) focused on the “problems of the individual and the family.” Stein emphasized that working with communities could not be separated from working with individuals and families. Community organization was also discussed by Stein as form of social work that was not entirely new but one that was integral and woven into social work to address the “conditions of community life.” Stuart (2022) highlighted the importance of community collaboration and engagement as central to community organization practice. The role of social settlements (e.g., settlement houses) were described as the “very essence of community organization” because of their role in developing a cooperative spirit with the communities in which they worked. Community organization’s purpose was seen as the socializing people by providing opportunities for them to address their common problems. Case studies discussed by Stein illustrated various forms of community organization practice in the early 19 century, including ways in which the community was engaged through collaborations among organizations, associations, or welfare agencies to address issues of recreation, health, and other public welfare issues. Most of the case studies described by Stein focused mainly on organizational forms of engagement and collaboration. However, there were a few exceptions where community organizing efforts engaged regular citizens and residents in advising and guiding programs. For example, the Community Council Movement, whose governing board was made up of official social and civic organizations, also engaged “citizens chosen by the people of the community at an open meeting.” The Cincinnati Social Unit Organization also engaged residents in a more democratic manner. Each block in the community elected a block council and chose its own executive or block worker who was essentially playing some of the same engagement roles that today’s community organizers play: building JOURNAL OF COMMUNITY PRACTICE 2022, VOL. 30, NO. 4, 351–358 https://doi.org/10.1080/10705422.2022.2144061
