COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT PROJECT GUIDELINES
The Community-as-Partner Model
The focus of this assessment is the community. Everyone is part of at least one community. Every community is affected by eight subsystems: recreation; physical environment; education; safety and transportation; politics and government; health and social services; communication; and economics (page 38 of the class text book). In addition to the “people” (the core) of the community, these eight subsystems come together to form the assessment data for your community assessment exercise.
ASSESSMENT
The assessment data is to include the “community-as-Partner Model” and the “eight subsystems” listed above and described in Karen Saucier Lundy and Sharyn Janes 2009.
• Community core demographics and data are to be compared with comparable data from a larger entity, such as county or state.
• Each student is to talk to at least three key people in the community when gathering data. Examples of key people to interview for the project include, but are not limited to: the mayor; alder persons, health care providers, a service provider such as mail carrier or shop owner; and long term residents of the community.
• People who live or work in the community are a rich source of information regarding the community and can often provide data not found in printed form. Make sure you coordinate with the others in your group to interview different people from the community.
