Some Aspects Concerning the Transfer of the Theory of Local Community Organization
Nino ŽGANEC
Sažetak
In order to establish the differences in conceiving the
fundamental aims of social work in organizing the
community and to determine certain aspects of transfer into
practice of the theory of community organization, research
was conducted on two groups of examinees; a group of 187
social workers employed in various governmental and nongovernmental
institutions and organizations and on a group
of 52 students in their final year at the Study Centre of Social
Work in Zagreb. The results of discriminant analysis indicate
the existence of a statistically significant difference between
the groups. While students see the goals of community
organization more in the struggle of the local community’s
population for citizens’ rights and the development of
democracy, the social workers define these goals primarily as
the development of integration, identification and
development of communal values of the local community’s
population. Possible implications of the results obtained
regarding the further theoretical and practical development
of social work in community organization in Croatia are
analysed in the paper.
