Problems are part of life -- they go together with being alive. And every community has problems, too; they go together with being a community. That's just a fact of community life.
Two more basic facts:
Communities, like people, try to solve their problems.And analyzing those problems helps in their solution.
Example, A community problem. The downtown area of a community is declining. Stores are closing, and moving out; no new stores are moving in. We want to revitalize that downtown. How should we do it?
Rather than aim for a complete problem list, here are some criteria you may consider when identifying community problems:
The problem occurs too frequently (frequency)The problem has lasted for a while (duration)The problem affects many people (scope, or range)The problem is disrupting to personal or community life, and possibly intense (severity)The problem deprives people of legal or moral rights (equity)The issue is perceived as a problem (perception)
This last criterion -- perception -- is an important one, and can also help indicate readiness for addressing the issue within the community.
Keep in mind that what is seen as a problem can vary from place to place, and from group to group in the same place. Although there's no official definition of a community problem, the above examples and criteria above should help you begin to name and analyze community problems.
