מה הפציע בעבודה הקהילתית של המאה העשרים ואחת? גלגל התנופה הקהילתי כפרקטיקה ליישום הגישה ההפצעתית: [מאמר פרספקטיבה]

Background: The emergence-based approach in community practice is based on a mindset that has become dominant in the 21st century. While the traditional outcomes-based approach focuses on community analysis and planning, this approach acknowledges that communities are complex systems, and that the capacity to analyze and plan their future is therefore rather limited.Aim: To outline innovative modes of actions when using the emergence-based approach – probing,engaging and “doula” – by placement on the "Community Flywheel Model", which describe show these modes accelerate community development processes that are driven by passion and responsibility.Method:The article is based on a review of the literature as well as professional field experience.Main arguments: As communities have many properties of complex systems, the emergence-based approach is highly effective in community practice. The community practitioner using the emergence-based approach will find probing, engagement, and “doula” useful modes of action.The outcomes-based approach can also be quite useful and we demonstrate how these two contradictory approaches can be combined effectively.Implications: When working with such complex systems, utilizing the emergence of community entrepreneurs and their initiatives can yield an efficient added value.
