INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNITY-
BASED MANAGEMENT

The Basic Concepts


WHAT IS A COMMUNITY?
 There are various definitions and meanings of the term “community”.
 According to Wikipedia, “community derives from the old French
comuneté or "Communauté, and from the Latin word communitas. All of
these means “community” and “public spirit”.
 The Latin word communis also means “common”.
 A community is a social unit (a group of living things) with commonality
such as norms, religion, values, customs, or identity.
Community

 Communities may share a sense of place situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a
country, village, town, or neighborhood) or in virtual space through communication
platforms.

Durable relations that extend beyond immediate


genealogical ties also define a sense of
community, important to their identity, practice
and roles in social institutions such as family,
home, work, government or the humanity.
Community

 Communities are usually small, but a community may also refer to


large group affiliations such as national communities, international
communities and virtual communities.
Types of Community
 Rural – located in provinces where houses are spread very far apart. In most rural
communities, people have quite a bit property, and they can have many plants and animals
on their property. Sometimes these are called farmland.
 Urban – located in the cities. People live in very close proximity, and there is almost
something going on or noise of some kind.
 Sub-Urban – mix of the urban and rural community. One will get many of the same
convenience in the city, while having enough space in the neighborhood to spread out and
move around a bit of nature.
Community Needs

 Community needs are gaps between what services currently exist in a community and
what should exist.
Four Types of Community Needs:
 Perceived Needs – based on what the inviduals feel their needs are.
 Expressed Needs – defined by the number of individuals who sought help.
 Absolute Needs – needs deemed universal, including those for survival.
 Relative Needs – needs rendered necessary based on equity, and depends on current
circumstances and norms.(

Community Needs Assessment
 A community needs assessment identifies the strengths and resources available in a
community to meet the needs of its members (community).

The assessment is focused on the capabilities of the


community, including its citizens, agencies and
organizations.

It will provide a framework for developing and


identifying services and solutions and building
communities that support and nurture children and
families.
Social Mobilization
 Social mobilization is the process of bringing together allies to raise awareness of and
demand for a particular programme, to assist in the delivery of resources and services and
to strengthen community participation and self-reliance. (

Formulating Plan for Community-Based Projects/DRRM

 According to Southeast Asia’s Road to Resilience, the community-based approaches to


disaster risk reduction recognizes the fact that in the immediate aftermath of a disaster, the
first response always comes from the community itself.
 It also recognizes the fact that in many cases, top-down approaches may fail to
address the specific local needs of the communities, ignore potential of local resources and
capacities and may even increase people’s vulnerability in some cases.
 Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction seeks ways to help communities
effectively use local resources and capacities to better prepare for disasters, and to adopt
measures to reduce their vulnerability.
What is a Disaster Risk Reduction?

 What is a Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)


 “There is no such things as ‘natural disaster’, only natural hazards.”
 Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) aims to reduce the damage caused by natural
hazards like earthquakes, floods, droughts and cyclones, through prevention.
Preparing a Disaster Management Plan
 Preparing a Disaster Management Plan
 A Disaster Management Plan is a preventive plan designed to reduce the
harmful effects of disaster like a storm, earthquake or typhoons.
 With the plan, a person or a family or organization can prepare to meet a
disaster as it comes.
 The following steps are helpful in making the plan:
 Identify Who does What
 Work through Considerations early;
 Put people first
