The Grass Roots and Government in Social Planning and Community Organization
Abstract
Over the last thirteen years, the context of social planning &
community organization has changed in significant ways. In the 1960s,
most of these activities were mounted outside of established
governmental institutions; at present, they are supported primarily
& extensively by law, & financed & managed by agencies of
government. This shift in context has resulted in changes in
professional practice, particularly the development of capacities to
deal with the intergovernmental, functional, & technical aspects
of planning & community organization. Scholars in this field do
not seem to have taken these changes into account, as is revealed by
an analysis of all the articles dealing with social planning &
community organization which appeared between 1967 & 1976 in four
professional journals: Community Mental Health Journal, Gerontologist,
Social Service Review, & Social Work. 4 Tables, Appendix. Modified
