دانشگاه یو پی ام

 

دانشگاه پوترای مالزی با قدمتي بیش از هفتاد سال هم سن و سال دانشگاه تهران است. در سالهای اخير به تبع رشد چشمگير کشور مالزی، چهار دانشگاه تحقیقتی (Research University) مالزی که دانشگاه پوترا نیز جزء آنهاست، سرمایه گزاری بالايي برای تحقيقات و تحصيلات تکميلي و پژوهش های کاربردی انجام داده اند. با نگاهی به فهرست دانشکده ها و مراکز تحقيقاتي و رشته های بسيار متنوع این دانشگاه متوجه گستردگي اين دانشگاه خواهيد شد. سایت دانشگاه را می توانید از اینجا ملاحظه فرمایید.

دانشگاه یو ژی ام در واقع دانشگاه دوتی و سلطنتی مالزی است. یکی از رشته های موجود در این دانشگاه "توسعه محله ای" است. و البته با توجه به اینکه این کشور توسعه خود را بیشتر مدیون فعالیت گسترده Community worker ها می باشد این رشته در این کشور بخوبی جایگاه خود را یافته و ژیشرفت های بسیار زیادی نیز داشته است. البه قابل توجه اینکه در این کشور وزارت خانه ای به نام  Community Development موجود است و این خود نشان از توجه این کشور به این رشته علمی است.

به هر حال این رشته در دانشکده Faculty of Human Ecology قرار دارد.

Empowerment: What Is It

For many in Extension, empowerment is the goal we have for our programs and the volunteers, participants, or clients with whom we work. But what is empowerment? How can we recognize it? Evaluate it? Talk about it with others who are interested in empowerment? Our recent literature review of articles indicating a focus on empowerment, across several scholarly and practical disciplines, resulted in no clear definition of the concept across disciplinary lines. Many using the term cope with its lack of clear, shared meaning by employing the concept very narrowly, using only their specific scholarly discipline or program to inform them. Others do not define the term at all. As a result, many have come to view "empowerment" as nothing more than the most recently popular buzz word to be thrown in to make sure old programs get new funding.

We maintain that empowerment is much more than that. Empowerment is a process that challenges our assumptions about the way things are and can be. It challenges our basic assumptions about power, helping, achieving, and succeeding. To begin to demystify the concept of empowerment, we need to understand the concept broadly in order to be clear about how and why we narrow our focus of empowerment for specific programs and projects (specific dimension or level, etc.) and to allow discussion of empowerment across disciplinary and practice lines. Understanding empowerment became a critical issue for us as we grappled with the task of sharing the People Empowering People (PEP) program with Extension faculty across the country.

Community Driven Development

A step by step guide to scale up Community Driven Development

Hans P. Binswanger and Tuu-Van Nguyen

This paper synthesizes the experiences of the authors and other practitioners on how to scale up Community Driven Development (CDD) programs into national CDD programs. The objective of the paper is to assis t the reader by providing a step-by-step approach to designing and planning the scale-up of multisectoral CDD initiatives. It focuses in particular on the program development phase, in which a program is scaled up to first cover one (or a few) district in its entirety, so that all villages and urban neighborhoods (i.e., al l “communities”) have access to the program.

What is Community Development

 

What is Community Development?

Community development is the planned evolution of all aspects of community well-being (economic, social, environmental and cultural). It is a process whereby community members come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems. The scope of community development can vary from small initiatives within a small group, to large initiatives that involve the whole community. Regardless of the scope of the activity, 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 , and
• grounded in experience that leads to best practice.

Community Development is a process, a method and an outcome

Introduction:

Bullen, (2004) according to Bennett (1973) affirmed that community development is the deliberate attempt by community people to work together to guide the future of their communities. Bullen, (2004) according to Ravitz (1982) stressed that CD is the active involvement of people at the level of the local community in resisting or supporting some cause or issues that interests them. Bullen, (2004) according to Maser (1997) called CD as the capacity of people to work collectively in addressing their common interests. In its general sense, the term CD can be referred to as an effort to improve the quality of life a community.
