| Zusammenfassung: | This book makes the case for a systems approach to small-scale community development projects. It looks more specifically at the application of one branch of systems science, called system dynamics, to develop conceptual models of small-scale communities and address specific issues they might be facing at different scales. A systems approach recognizes that, by definition, communities are complex adaptive systems consisting of multiple subsystems and parts (e.g., individuals, institutions, and infrastructure) that are interconnected, are driven by some purpose, follow certain rules, and interact with each other and with their surrounding environment. In order to address community issues and problems, complexity and uncertainty must be embraced and dealt with. This book emphasizes and shows how to include a system- and complexity-aware approach in the different phases of small-scale community project management. Adopting this approach comes with unique challenges such as dealing with ill-defined problems, considering uncertainty, recognizing that no unique and best solutions to complex problems exist, and accepting satisficing (i.e., good enough) solutions. This book emphasizes the need for community development practitioners to integrate in all stages of their projects: participation, systems thinking, continuous reflection-in-action, and a combination of critical and creative tools. At the same time, practitioners must ensure that they deliver solutions that are sound from a technical point of view (i.e., done right), adaptable to the cultural, economic, and social context in which they work (i.e., rightly done), and developed for the right reasons. |

Adopting this approach comes with unique challenges such as dealing with ill-defined problems, considering uncertainty, recognizing that no unique and best solutions to complex problems exist, and accepting satisficing (i.e., good enough) solutions. This book emphasizes the need for community development practitioners to integrate in all stages of their projects: participation, systems thinking, continuous reflection-in-action, and a combination of critical and creative tools. At the same time, practitioners must ensure that they deliver solutions that are sound from a technical point of view (i.e., done right), adaptable to the cultural, economic, and social context in which they work (i.e., rightly done), and developed for the right reasons.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="500" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Title from PDF title page (viewed on December 9, 2015).</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Community development</subfield><subfield code="x">Computer simulation.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Développement communautaire</subfield><subfield code="x">Simulation par ordinateur.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SOCIAL SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">General.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Community development</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Systems engineering</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">complexity</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">system dynamics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">systems approach</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">systems thinking</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">adaptive</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">community</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">participation</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">development projects</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">reflective practice</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">behavior patterns</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">structure</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">context</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">satisficing</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">A systems approach to modeling community development projects (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFFtbMgGc4Q9G4FFcXdQhd</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="z">9781606505182</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Momentum Press sustainable structural systems collection.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2019067587</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1079555</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">1079555</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Momentum Press</subfield><subfield code="b">NYMP</subfield><subfield code="n">9781606505199</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">12642999</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

This book makes the case for a systems approach to small-scale community development projects. It looks more specifically at the application of one branch of systems science, called system dynamics, to develop conceptual models of small-scale communities and address specific issues they might be facing at different scales. A systems approach recognizes that, by definition, communities are complex adaptive systems consisting of multiple subsystems and parts (e.g., individuals, institutions, and infrastructure) that are interconnected, are driven by some purpose, follow certain rules, and interact with each other and with their surrounding environment. In order to address community issues and problems, complexity and uncertainty must be embraced and dealt with. This book emphasizes and shows how to include a system- and complexity-aware approach in the different phases of small-scale community project management. Adopting this approach comes with unique challenges such as dealing with ill-defined problems, considering uncertainty, recognizing that no unique and best solutions to complex problems exist, and accepting satisficing (i.e., good enough) solutions. This book emphasizes the need for community development practitioners to integrate in all stages of their projects: participation, systems thinking, continuous reflection-in-action, and a combination of critical and creative tools. At the same time, practitioners must ensure that they deliver solutions that are sound from a technical point of view (i.e., done right), adaptable to the cultural, economic, and social context in which they work (i.e., rightly done), and developed for the right reasons.
