Abstract:
|
"As a development practitioner and social researcher, I can completely relate with David Barton Bray’s argument that collective action should not be remote from the concept of community or communities. I appreciate his assertion that the community is an important level of analysis, where community can be bearers of social norms and institutional arrangements as it constitutes cooperative behavior and collective action. In response to Bray’s argument, I wish to flesh out
the concept of community organizing which fundamentally relates to the dynamics of collective action. I will highlight the important contribution of community-based approach from a community-based coastal resource management (CBCRM) project in the fishing community of Honda Bay in Puerto Princesa Philippines, as a result of the community’s collective action."
