REACTION PAPER! Social Capital
Community Based Research
• Research that happens in-community.
• 3 essential components
• Community situated
• The research, learning and actions are inclusive of the community affected
• Clear understanding of the community + how it links with CD and engagement
• Collaborative
• working cooperatively
• addressing power imbalances (particularly with marginalized groups)
• Action oriented
• Focused on the need for change
• Relevant
Sharpe, E., Mair, H., and Yuen, F., Ch. 10, p. 121
Market Research
• Used to improve an organizations “bottom line” and make
well informed marketing decisions
• The “eyes” and “ears” that provide information to make
informed decisions (marketing intelligence)
• Provides invaluable insight into consumers
• Provides information to develop strategy
Janes (2006)
Community Based Research
• What role should research play in community development?
Sharpe, E., Mair, H., and Yuen, F., Ch. 10, p. 121
Principles of Community Based Research
1. Research should do no harm
2. Citizens who have a stake in the process and outcomes
should be involved in research
3. Listening to the people affected by the issues is central
to understanding
4. Community development is best understood in context,
including ‘person in his or her environment’.
Sharpe, E., Mair, H., and Yuen, F., Ch. 10, p. 122
Example:
National Enquiry into Missing and Murdered
Indigenous Women

Parallels between CD and CBR
1. Dissatisfaction with traditional approaches
2. Driven by community concerns
3. Concern for marginalization of citizens
4. Collaboration with multiple stakeholders
5. Participatory (engaging citizens in design and implementation)
6. Asset based/ strength based
7. Empowering process (individual + community)
8. Using innovative approaches to change
9. Ongoing co-learning (among researchers, community leaders and citizens).
10. Building local capacity (citizens, organizations or neighbourhoods)
Sharpe, E., Mair, H., and Yuen, F., Ch. 10, p. 127
DISCUSS How community based research can be used in a
municipal setting?
Examples?
