    CHAPTER 1

    COMMUNITY

    Community

    Community refers to a social unit larger than a small village that shares common
    values. The term can also refer to a national community or international community.
    A community is a group or society, helping each other.
    In human communities, intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, risks, a number
    of other conditions may be present and common, affecting the identity of the
    participants and their degree of cohesiveness.

    The essential elements of community are described below:

    Group of people - community is a group of human beings. It is not possible to form a


    community without a group of men and women.

    Definite locality - A community always occupies a definite geographical area.


    Locality is the physical basis of community. Without a definite locality, social
    relations between human beings cannot be established and the ‘we’ feeling cannot
    evolve.

    Community Sentiment - community sentiment means a feeling of belonging


    together. It is ‘we feeling’ among the members. The members of a community speak
    the same language, conform to the same mores, and possess the same sentiment, and
    have the same attitudes.

    Likeness - The people in a community shares a common way of life. Their customs,
    traditions, more language etc. are similar.

    Permanency – A community is not temporary like a crowd or a mob. It is relatively


    stable. It includes a permanent life in a definite place.

    Neutrality – Communities are not deliberately created. They are not made by planned
    efforts. An individual is born in a community. It has a natural growth of its own.

    A particular Name - Every community has some particular name. in the words of
    Lumley, “It points identity, it indicates reality, it points out individuality, it often
    describes personality and each community is something of a personality.

    Size – A community may be big or small. A small community may be included in a


    wider community.

    Wider ends – People in community share several common interests. They associate
    not for the fulfilment of a particular end. The ends of a community are wider. People
    work together to fulfil some common interests.

    Regulation of Relations – Every community in course of time develops a system of


    traditions, customs, and morals.

    CRITERIA IN IDENTIFYING COMMUNITY PROBLEMS

    There are some criteria you may consider when identifying community problems
    rather than aim for a complete problem list. These are:
    1. The problem occurs )
    2. The duration of the problem
    3. The scope or range
    4. The severity of the problem
    5. The equity
    6. The perception

    REASONS WHY COMMUNITY PROBLEMS HAVE TO BE ANALYSED

    The following are the reasons why there is a need to analyse a community problem:

    1. To better identify the problem or issue.

    For you to be able to identify the solution to the problem, you have to
    know what the problem is all about.

    2. To understand the main reason of a problem.

    Be able to know the cause of a problem.

    3. To determine the barriers and resources associated with addressing the


    problem.
    An NSTP student in a community outreach program shall immediately
    be aware of the obstacles in addressing the problem and be able to
    know the resources they need for the community.

    4. To develop the best remedy for addressing the problem.

    COMMUNITY IMMERSION GROUP 2

    Community Immersion is an intensive study on campus and field experience on


    becoming a future leader, community organizer or even a future educator. It would
    help individuals learn some life “skills” helps them meet others, helps them socially
    and most importantly to help other community members see them as people with
    “worth”.

    COMMUNITY IMMERSION IN NSTP

    To help the students to become better person on having relation to the needy whom is
    given much required. It helps the youth on how to make people more active in the
    environment and lead the country to change and solve problems encounter of our
    communities, by the youth we encourage people to speak up and looking forward on
    how young generation will work for us.

    Community immersion is a version of service learning that is more integrated with a


    student’s passions and interests, is a longer-term and is related to the on-going
    development of community and social justice issues. It fulfils many of the school’s
    goals for students – becoming involved citizens, learning through worthwhile tasks,
    and developing leadership, advocacy and problem-solving skills.

    IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITY IMMERSION

    Community Immersion Program – a social strategy in education and training


    designed to bridge the gap between theoretical instruction and the realities of
    community work through experiential learning.
    BENEFITS OF COMMUNITY IMMERSION TO THE STUDENTS

     Young people learn and develop through active participation in thoughtfully


    organized experiences that meet actual community needs that are coordinated
    with the school and community;

     Integrated with specific learning objectives and provides structured time for
    youth to think, talk, or write about what they did and saw during the actual
    service activity;

     Provides young people with opportunities to use newly acquired skills and
    knowledge in real-life situations in their own communities;

     Enhances what is taught in school by extending student learning beyond the


    classroom and into the community;

     Community development and social justice;

     Helps foster a sense of caring for others through direct involvement; and

     Supported by regular assessment to provide feedback and guide improvement.

    HOW TO ANALYSE A COMMUNITY PROBLEM

    The primordial concern of analysing the community problem is to understand the


    problem better and to handle it more effectively, so the method you use could help
    you accomplish the goal.

    1. Justify the choice of the problem - Consider the criteria when identifying the
    problem. Ask yourself if you can address the problem through the help from
    your NSTP colleagues.

    2. Frame the problem – be objective in stating the problem without implying a


    solution.
