WHAT IS A COMMUNITY?
There are various definitions and meanings of the term
“community”.
According to Wikipedia, the English language word
"community" derives from the Old French comuneté (currently
"Communauté"), which also comes from the Latin word communitas
which means "community", and "public spirit"; also from
Latin communis, which means "common".
A community is a social unit (a group of living things) with
commonality such as norms, religion, values, customs, or identity.
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, society, or humanity at large.
Although communities are usually small relative to personal social ties, "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.

 Perceived Needs – based on what the individuals 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.( https://www.galaxydigital.com/blog/community-needs-

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. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK310747/)

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 (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


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:
1. Identify Who does What
2. Work through Considerations early;
3. Put people first
