Application of the conceptual framework of community organization models (locality development, social planning and social action) will be addressed. Emphasis is placed on the community/neighborhood as the expert and the value and role of indigenous leadership in the action/target system. Students will also be introduced to the history of macro/community practice and the pioneers of social reform.
