Answer:
COMMUNITIES HAVE PROBLEMS, JUST LIKE PEOPLE
Problems are part of life. We all deal with individual problems, families have family issues, and communities have community problems. Communities must come together to solve their problems, just like families.
When communities try to solve problems, they start just like individuals do. They must reflect and analyze the issue to help come to a solution. But, before discussing solutions, problems must be identified.
So, after discussing a little bit about what problems look like, this section will explain what analyzing community problems is about, why it can be helpful, and then how to do it.
WHAT IS A COMMUNITY PROBLEM?
Problems can arise in any part of a community and come from any aspect of community life. There's a long list of nominees, and you probably know some of the main contenders. Can you name the leading problems in your community? Chances are you can at least start the list.
Below are examples of community problems:
Example Community Problems: Adolescent pregnancy, access to clean drinking water, child abuse and neglect, crime, domestic violence, drug use, pollution, mismanagement of resources, lack of funding for schools and services, ethnic conflict, health disparities, HIV/ AIDS, hunger, inadequate emergency services, inequality, jobs, lack of affordable housing, poverty, transportation, violence, racism and police brutality.
WHAT OTHERS WOULD YOU ADD?
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.
What is seen as a problem can vary from place to place and group to group in the same community. 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.
WHY SHOULD I ANALYZE A COMMUNITY PROBLEM?
Analyzing community problems is a way of thinking carefully about a problem or issue before acting on a solution. It first involves identifying reasons a problem exists and then, identifying possible solutions and a plan for improvement.
Example: 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?
