Social Planning as Social Work Practice: Issues and Strategies
Abstract
Social planning remains an active area of policy, despite a shift from
social programming to conservation of existing programs under
budgetary constraints. A number of previous movements can be
identified as antecedents of social planning, including social reform,
community programs, & attempts to introduce scientific management
into human services. A rational programming model is proposed to guide
current social programming. This model appears basically compatible
with social work practice, if it can avoid such pitfalls as the
assumption that efficiency & equity are opposed, the imitation of
the methods of such disciplines as business or public administration,
& the definition of social work in terms of methods rather than
goals. 1 Figure. W. H. Stoddard.
