COMMUNITY ARCHITECTURE
is based on the principle of involving people in the design, planning, and design process; it also encourages
active community participation in building projects. can be defined as a housing-related scheme that implies
a study of the current social conditions as well as consultations with the people who will use them. The
movement allows people to collaborate directly with architects on the design and construction of their own
homes and neighborhoods.
IDENTITY OF
ARCHITECTURE
is frequently conceptualized and
portrayed as an immutable or
historically continuous entity within
certain existing areas of
architecture design, heritage,
history, and literature.
COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT

is an important aspect of an
architect's skill set because it
allows for collaborative work
on community-led projects.
ORIENTING

DEVELOPMENT
PLANNING AND
ACTION IN
COMMUNITY
ARCHITECTURE
 ACCESS TO
RESOURCES
a user-friendly tool that draws on
participants' everyday experiences and is
beneficial to men, women, trainers,
project staff, and field workers.
ANALYSIS OF
TASKS
a gender analysis tool that raises
community awareness about domestic
market distribution and community activities
based on gender which familiarizes
planners with the degree of role flexibility
associated with various tasks
FOCUS GROUP
MEETINGS
Focus groups are a balance between
prepared interviews, which are unlikely to
address the participant's personal
problem, and participant observation,
which is less controlled, longer, and more
in-depth.
FORCE FIELD
ANALYSIS
A similar tool, "Story With a Gap," that
encourages persons who can identify,
categorize, and create long-term
strategies by developing comprehensive
"before and after" scenarios.
HEALTH-SEEKING
BEHAVIOR
An instrument for the production of data
regarding health care that is culturally relating
to health activities
 LOGICAL
FRAMEWORK
a matrix that depicts a synopsis of the
project design, highlighting the outcomes
that should be anticipated when a project
is effectively concluded. These outcomes
or outcomes are displayed in in terms of
measurable, unbiased indicators.
 MAPPING

Basic data collection in visual form is a

general word that refers to the collection
of information that may be used to
compare, train with, raise awareness of,
and track progress.
 NEEDS
ASSESSMENT
a device that collects data on the
various needs of people, increases
serves as the basis for participants'
understanding of linked concerns.
putting needs first.
PARTICIPANT
OBSERVATION
an approach to fieldwork that
anthropologists and sociologists use
to assemble qualitative and
quantitative information for a thorough
analysis, to knowledge of people's
customs, drives, and attitudes.
 POCKET
CHARTS
Investigative tools that use pictures as stimuli
to encourage people to assess and analyze a
given situation. Through a "voting' process,
participants use the chart to draw attention to
the complex elements of a development issue
in an uncomplicated way.
PREFERENCE
RANKING
Also called direct matrix ranking, an
exercise in which people identify
what they do and do not value about
a class of objects (for example, tree
species or cooking fuel types).
 ROLE
PLAYING
Enables people to creatively remove
themselves from their usual roles
and perspectives to allow them to
understand choices and decisions
made by other people with other
responsibilities.
 SEASONAL
DIAGRAMS
Show the major changes that affect a
household, community, or region within a
year, such as those associated with climate,
crops, labor availability and demand,
livestock, prices, and so on. Such diagrams
highlight the times of constraints and
opportunity, which can be critical information
for planning and implementation.
 SECONDARY
DATA REVIEW
Also called desk review, an inexpensive, initial
inquiry that provides necessary contextual
background. Sources include academic thesis
and dissertations, annual reports, archival
materials, census data, life histories, maps,
project documents, and so on.
SEMI
STRUCTURED
INTERVIEW
Also called conversational interviews, interviews
that are partially structured by a flexible
interview guide with a limited number of preset
questions. These tools are a deliberate
departure from survey-type interviews with
lengthy, predetermined questionnaires.
SOCIO-
CULTURAL
PROFILES
Detailed descriptions of the social and cultural
dimensions that in combination with technical,
economic, and environmental dimensions serve
as a basis for design and preparation of policy
and project work.
SURVEYS
A sequence of focused, predetermined questions
in a fixed order, often with predetermined, limited
options for responses. Surveys can add value
when they are used to identify development
problems or objectives, narrow the focus or
clarify the objectives of a project or policy, plan
strategies for implementation, and monitor or
evaluate participation
TREE DIAGRAMS

Multipurpose, visual tools for narrowing and

prioritizing problems, objectives, or decisions.
Information is organized into a treelike diagram
that includes information on the main issue,
relevant factors, and influences and outcomes
of these factors.
VILLAGE
MEETINGS

Meetings with many uses in participatory

development, including information sharing and
group consultation, consensus building,
prioritization and sequencing of interventions,
and collaborative monitoring and evaluation.
WEALTH
RANKING

Also known as wellbeing ranking or vulnerability

analysis, a technique for the rapid collection and
analysis of specific data on social stratification
at the community level.
WORKSHOPS
Structured group meetings at which a variety of
key stakeholder groups, whose activities or
influence affect a development issue or project,
share knowledge and work toward a common
vision. With the help of a workshop facilitator,
participants undertake a series of activities
designed to help them progress toward the
development objective.
