CIVIL SOCIETY PERSPECTIVE


Stresses the idea of forming a group, foundation or an organization in service to society. This perspective views society as a
community of citizens linked by common interests and collective activity . Examples include people’s organization, civic organization, and
social movements.

LOCAL AND GRASSROOTS PERSPECTIVE


This perspective highlights volunteerism. Members of communities may involve themselves in various programs or
activities. The community uses self- organization and encourages the local citizens to contribute to the community by taking responsibilities
and actions.
Leaders and other members identify the sources of concerns in a local setting and determine ways to address these problems.
Volunteers are mobilized in cooperation with government decision-makers who will be accountable for their actions. The community also
formulates programs for others, and employs actions according to the needs of the community.

INSTITUTIONAL PERSPECTIVE
FIRST DIMENSION: It is an existing establishment or physical space where members of the community go for a certain purpose.
SECOND DIMENSION: It is the institutional community as a social model. This is defined by networks and institutions where community group
are formed in certain areas such as schools, churches or companies.
THIRD DIMENSION: Community is composed of the ways people act, interact with each other, react, and expect each other to act and interact.
