Abstract
Community-based action research and other intervention programs have gained currency in such fields as forestry and natural resources. Many of these programs rely on old conceptualizations of community focusing on such features as territorial boundaries, common goals and even affective aspects. The paper offers an ethnomethodological understanding of community as an accomplishment; it proposes that the properties of social life which seem objective, factual and trans-situational, are actually managed accomplishments or achievements of local processes. The aim of the ethnomethodological inquiry is to analyze the situated conduct of fishers in order to see how objective properties of community are accomplished.
