Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Understanding and Describing the Community

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas What is a community? A community is any group sharing something in common: Locale Experience Interest

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Things to Find Out Geographic boundaries. How long the community has existed. General history. Key people and leaders. Demographics. Expenses and income. Important issues. Morale and involvement levels. Key allies and rivals.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Why should you use a community description? To capture unspoken rules and norms. To gain understanding. To get a feel for attitudes and opinions. To take stock of strengths and shortcomings.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas How can you use a community description? For your own reference. To share with others who do work in your community. To present as background information to reporters. To use as a basis for a grant proposal.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas When should you write a community description? When you’re new to a community. When you’ve been working in a community for any length of time and want to take stock. When you’re considering introducing a new initiative or program.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Basic Principles for Understanding the Community View the community as the teacher and yourself as the student. There is not always cause-and-effect logic for social interactions. Question the accuracy of all information.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Low-effort Situations for Finding Info Seek situations that offer— Simplicity Accessibility Unobtrusiveness Permission Frequent activity

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Gaining an Understanding of Your Community Gather basic tools. Drive through the area. Adjust boundaries. Review area with a list of things to watch for. Contact and interview key individuals in the community. Visit local hangouts. Work with a partner.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas Interview Tips Start with small talk. Explain your motives. Ask for a definition of the community. Follow up on leads and go on to subjects and areas you haven’t reached yet. Ask who else you should talk to. Let interviewee end the interview. Thank interviewee for his/her time.

Copyright © 2014 by The University of Kansas How to Write Your Description Draft your initial description and analysis. Share draft with key community members; get their feedback on accuracy. Consider results so far. Get feedback from varied sources before completing final description and analysis.
