Abstract

ROFESSIONALS involved in community development work seem to agree on what community development is, although at times we suspect that they have only declared a truce. Even if there is agreement among professionals, a lack of understanding persists between involved professionals and others. Oddly enough, there is general agreement that the majoi reason for this confusion is that the goals of community development are abstract and intangible. But progress toward understanding and articulating community development is stymied at that point for two reasons. First, faced with the lack of concrete goals of community development tend to insert what they think are or could be the goals. Second, outsiders who look for quantifiable goals tend to limit their perception of community development goals to those that can be measured.
