    Community Dynamics is the change and development involved


    in a community that includes all forms of living organisms.

    Community Action is putting communities as the center of the


    services development and services delivery. This initiative aims to
    cater the primary needs of the communities before implementing it.
    In such way, *community action* will help the community
    dynamics or the degree of improvement of the community

    I. FUNCTIONS OF
    COMMUNITY
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    Community and its Five


    Functions
    A community is a group of people in the same geographic
    area, under common laws, that has a sense of fellowship,
    belonging, and obligation to the group. Types of communities
    are a neighbourhood, church, a mom's group, a town, girl
    scouts etc.
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    1. Production, Distribution, Consumption


    The community provides its members with the means to make
    a living. This may be agriculture, industry, or services. No
    community can survive if it does not provide some way for its
    people to make a living and obtain the material resources that
    they need for living.
    Someone has to take raw material and fashion it into some sort of
    useful product.
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    It is also the transportation/warehousing/retail sector, since


    somehow the goods that are produced have to be moved to
    and through the market.
    Finally, production and distribution are useless if there is no one
    to buy or use it, if there is no “market.”

    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    2. Socialization
    The community has means by which it instils its norms and
    values in its members. This may be tradition, modelling, and/or
    formal education. No community can survive if it does not
    arrange for its continuation. A way must be found for children to
    learn what they will need to know to be adults; for workers to
    develop the knowledge, skills and abilities to do their jobs; for in-
    migrants (whether they are from the neighboring State or from
    across the ocean) to learn “how we do things here.”
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    3. Social Control
    The community has the means to enforce adherence to community
    values. This may be group pressure to conform and/or formal laws.
    Communities are incredibly complex systems.
    For all those players (whether human or corporate) are to move
    around and “do their thing,” there have to be “traffic rules” to
    keep them from crashing into each other.
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    Only the smallest part of social control is “busting bad guys”;


    much of it is an issue of forming and enforcing contracts
    (mutual agreements about who will do what to whom how
    and with what) and supporting the “social contract” (those
    “rules” of what is expected of one that were learned through
    socialization). This function is also often referred to as
    “boundary maintenance.”

    4. Social
    Participation
    The community fulfils the need for companionship. This may occur
    in a neighborhood, church, business, or other group. In part, it is
    through participation that much of those functions is accomplished.
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    5. Mutual Support
    The community enables its members to cooperate to accomplish
    tasks too large or too urgent to be handled by a single person.
    Supporting a community hospital with tax dollars and donations is
    an example of people cooperating to accomplish the task of health
    care. Finally, one of the purposes of community is to “share the
    journey,” and to motivate and encourage each other along the way

    Community Networks and Community


    Development
    Communities comprises of
    individuals, families, groups,
    organizations and institutions,
    all of which, both individually
    and collectively, contribute to
    and effect the development of
    the whole.

    How Community Involvement Influences


    Physical Factors:
    Socialization?
    Population, noise, community design/arrangement and of housing,
    play settings.
    All of these can affect the child's socialization. It affects what they do, who
    they do it with, and where they do it- the community
    Social and Personal Factors:
    The neighborhood setting, patterns of community interaction.
    The people in the community and how they interact with one another is a
    socializing agent.

    The Community as a Support System


    The community can serve as a support system for families. It can
    provide informal support, when families watch each others children.
    Or it can be formal support, like when it helps family through
    publicly or privately funded community services.
    Preventative Services
    (Parks, recreation, and Education): These attempt to lessen the stresses
    and strains of life resulting from social and technological changes and to
    avert problems.
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    Supportive Services
    (Child and Family): These include educational programs, counselling
    services, health services, policies related to demographic changes,
    employment training, and community development projects. These services
    maintain the health, education, and welfare of the community.
    Rehabilitative Services
    (Correction, Mental Health, and Special Needs): These services enable or
    restore people's ability to participate in the community effectively.

    II. STRUCTURES OF COMMUNITY


    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    Community structure means the internal structure of an


    employment area, town, city, neighborhood or another urban
    area.
    It includes the population and housing, jobs and production, service and
    leisure time areas, along with transport routes and technical networks,
    their location and relationships.
    Communities are complex entities that can be characterized by their structure
    (the types and numbers of species present) and dynamics (how communities
    change over time). Understanding community structure and dynamics enables
    community ecologists to manage ecosystems more effectively.
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    In general, a community is dynamic since it changes over


    time.
    A stable and mature community is called a climax community,
    while communities of successional stages are called seral
    communities.
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    III. DYNAMICS OF COMMUNITY


    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    Community dynamics are the changes in community


    structure and composition over time.
    Communities with a stable structure are said to be at equilibrium.
    Following a disturbance, the community may or may not return to the
    equilibrium state. (Equilibrium - a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced.)
    Communities are dynamic systems constantly interacting with another system,
    the environment, which is equally dynamic.
    The process of change in communities and their environment at one place in the
    course of time is called “ecological succession”.

    IV. PROCESSES OF COMMUNITY


    Community is a process.
    The importance of this as the fundamental principle of sociology it is
    impossible to over- estimate.
    “to integrate is not to absorb, melt, fuse, or to reconcile in the so-called
    Hegelian sense. The creative power of the individual appears not when
    one 'wish' dominates others, but when all 'wishes' unite in a working
    whole.”

    Community Organization
    refers to organizing aimed at making desired improvements to a
    community's social health, well-being, and overall functioning.
    Community organization occurs in geographically, psychosocially, culturally,
    spiritually, and/or digitally bounded communities.
    It includes community work, community projects, community development,
    community empowerment, community building, and community
    mobilization.
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF

    Community Organization
    Community organization is a process by which a community
    identifies needs or objectives, takes action, and through this
    process, develops cooperative and collaborative attitudes and
    practices within a community.
    Community development is a process where community members come
    together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems.
    Community development ranges from small initiatives within a small group to
    large initiatives that involve the broader community.

    Community Organization
    Effective community development should be:
     a long-term endeavor
     well-planned
     inclusive and equitable
     holistic and integrated into the bigger picture
     initiated and supported by community members
     of benefit to the community
     grounded in experience that leads to best
    practices
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF

    Community development
    Community development is a grassroots process by which
    communities:
     become more responsible
     organize and plan together
     develop healthy lifestyle options
     empower themselves
     reduce poverty and suffering
     create employment and economic opportunities
     achieve social, economic, cultural and environmental goals
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    Community development
    • seeks to improve quality of life. Effective community development results
    in mutual benefit and shared responsibility among community members.
     the connection between social, cultural, environmental and economic matters;
     the diversity of interests within a community; and
     its relationship to building capacity.
    Community development helps to build community capacity in order to address issues and
    take advantage of opportunities, find common ground and balance competing interests. It
    doesn’t just happen – capacity building requires both a conscious and a conscientious effort
    to do something (or many things) to improve the community.

    Development
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    Development
     term development often carries an assumption of growth and expansion.
    During the industrial era, development was strongly connected to
    increased speed, volume and size.
    – a realization that more isn’t always better, or an increasing respect for reducing
    outside dependencies and lowering levels of consumerism. So while the term
    “development” may not always mean growth, it always imply change.
    LESSO FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNITIES IN TERMS OF
    N3 STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND PROCESSES

    Community development is about community building as such, where the


    process is as important as the results. One of the primary challenges of
    community development is to balance the need for long-term solutions with
    the day-to-day realities that require immediate decision-making and short-
    term action.
