What is
Community?
A Community as described by Tucay
(2002), as cited by Viray (2003) in her
NSTP Handbook, regarding community
organizing, stated it is an aggregation
of families and individuals, settles in a
family compact and contiguous
geographical area, with significant
elements of common life as shown by
manners, customs, traditions and
mode of speech.
A Community may consist of only a few
families. Their homes are built in group.
They have many things in common. They
know each other well, being neighbors.
Many of them go to the same church. The
fact that people live close to one
another does not necessarily mean that
they have so much to do with each other.
The most important characteristic of a
community is that people have common
goals and interests.
People in a community are social
beings. Connection and interaction both
widen and deepen what they can
achieve and make possible improved
individual character and knit the social
fabric.

perspective so that efforts
exerted for community
development work, will have
a clear direction and would
not fall into the trap of the
dole-out system of help. It
aims to have a lasting effect,
where people start to feel
that they are capable of
making things happen to
their communities.
Through community

People are helped to deal more
successfully with their problems,
needs and aspirations by
helping them develop,
strengthen and maintain
qualities of participation, self-
direction, cooperation and
integration of efforts.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF COMMUNITY
ORGANIZING
Go to people, live
among the people.
Change agents cannot help a community work
towards development if they stay and work within
the comforts of an office and do not live with the
people. Organizers can determine which approach
can be employed best if they know and feel what
the community believes, does and wants to attain.
Through integration, they become one with the
people.
Learn, plan and work
with the people.
The people know better than any outsider
what their needs and problems are. The
change agent must be able to comprehend
and articulate these. An organizer must be
open to what the people want to achieve
and how they plan to achieve it. He should
facilitate changes and ensure
