ABSTRACT

Six approaches to community development are presented

by several authors in this booklet. Chapter 1 presents an introduction to the community development concept. In chapter 2; L.

Js Cary emphasizes three distinctive features of the community

approach: (1) popular or broad-based participation, (2) community as

an important concept, and (3) the holistic nature of concern. In "The

Information Self-help Approach", H. Y. McClusky suggests that the

right kind of information applied by knowledgeable participants at

strategic junctures can make a difference in community development.

In chapter 4, R. Thomas-places heavy emphasis upon the "special

problem" as the target for resolution in a problem-solving approach.

He illustrates how a common interest in a particular problem goes

beyond the limited locational criteria of community. R. M. Evensen,

writing on the'experimental approach, reveals a growing concern among

agencies and institutions in the application of a ghasi-experimental

design to community-development activities. G. S. Abshier, in "The

Demonstration Approach," emphasizes the diffe.rence between a true

experimental program and a demonstration. Finally, R. J. Salmon and

G. A. Tapper discuss the'dynamic approach of power-conflict. They

explore the meaning of power in the community=development process

?today. Biographical sketches of the authors are included.
