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
