The Most Disheartening Example Of City Decay, Chester Smolski
The Most Disheartening Example Of City Decay, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It has to be seen to be believed. And yet, two days after viewing it, one wonders if it were just a terrible dream that will somehow disappear with time. Is the South Bronx, that most devastated area of New York City, really as bad as they say it is?"
Despite The Heartaches, Urban Renewal Deserves High Marks, Chester Smolski
Despite The Heartaches, Urban Renewal Deserves High Marks, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The term "urban renewal" draws a mixed reaction. For some, it has meant relocated families, destroyed neighborhoods and heartache, even years after the fact. For others it has meant new construction, new jobs, increased taxes, reconstructed neighborhoods and visible signs of process."
Mayoral Candidates And Downtown, Chester Smolski
Mayoral Candidates And Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The next mayor of the city of Providence will have some hard decisions to make on the future of this city. There will be economic opportunities and constraints, social problems, political decisions and a host of questions to be raised and subsquently answered over the next four years which will shape the direction in which Rhode Island's capital city will move--and it is starting to move.
City Need Is Jobs For Young, Chester Smolski
City Need Is Jobs For Young, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 was a landmark piece of legislation which continues to benefit communities in need. Over the past three years Providence has received close to $27 million which has been spent to improve housing, parks and historic buildings in addition to building and servicing community centers. The focus of this major legislation was on physical and social improvement of the community. The one unprovided area was economic development."
Change And Program Evaluation In Social Organization, Alan M. Cohen
Change And Program Evaluation In Social Organization, Alan M. Cohen
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
There is an assumption of an inherent rationality in linking information on program effectiveness to program change. This article briefly discusses three typical evaluation studies and demonstration projects that fail to link information generated on the effectiveness of what people do, to program changes. Perceived inaccuracy of the information and the perceived threat of the information are emphasized as two reasons for this failure of program information to affect change in social organizations. A pre-planning functional information base is proposed as an important prerequisite in the sequence of creating a more receptive environment for organizational change.
It is often assumed …
New Incentives For Middle Class Philanthropy: Radical Funding For The Public Good, Samuel M. Loescher
New Incentives For Middle Class Philanthropy: Radical Funding For The Public Good, Samuel M. Loescher
IUSTITIA
The recent expansions in membership and budget of the American Civil Liberties Union and, even more dramatically, the explosive funding by mail of newly-founded Common Cause and Public Citizen, all suggest the presence of evolutionary forces at work in the American political economy that are encouraging a renewal of middle class associations to monitor powerful institutions and to advocate in behalf of the relatively powerless.
The rash of whistle-blowing disclosures of citizen professionals which have alerted us to the multi-billion dollar wastage on C-5As and attack carriers, the existence of My-Lais, the military assemblage of dossiers on 30 million civilians, …
Toward Partisan Politics In A Professional Association: Utility Of The Candidates Poll, L. K. Northwood, Howard Crockett
Toward Partisan Politics In A Professional Association: Utility Of The Candidates Poll, L. K. Northwood, Howard Crockett
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The purpose of this paper is to describe the initial efforts of one local chapter, The Puget Sound Chapter; to engage in partisan politics by the conduct of a poll of candidates for election to the Washington State Legislature in 1974. Properly speaking, the Chapter endorsed no candidates, merely rated them from "weak" to "outstanding" on their agreement with NASW policies on relevant programs and their social welfare attitudes. Thus, it is a mild form of partisan politics that will be considered.
The paper will analyze the social and organizational context in which the candidates' poll occurred, and then report …
The Structure Of A Community Action Agency For A Democratic Process, William Tom Buzbee
The Structure Of A Community Action Agency For A Democratic Process, William Tom Buzbee
OBU Graduate Theses
For several years because of change or the lack of change, an increasing number of the population of the United States have been the ranks of the poor. The Community Action Program was designed to give a voice to the poor. Due to the fact that Community Action Agencies were new, their function and objective may not have been understood.
This study has been concerned with the problem of poverty in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana, and the efforts of the Lincoln Total Community Action Agency, Inc., organized under provisions of the 1964 Economic Opportunity Act passed by the United States Congress, …
A Study Of The Development Of The Recreation Department Of Stockton, California, Margaret Fitzgerald Coston
A Study Of The Development Of The Recreation Department Of Stockton, California, Margaret Fitzgerald Coston
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Stockton is a city suffering from the sudden realization that it is no longer a small farm town, end that in the process of becoming a moderate-sized city, a community faces inevitable growing pains.
The municipal recreation phase of city government well illustrates this fact. Because of the great need for expansion in this field, and because the city is now just beginning to rise to meet the occasion, a study of the Recreational Department and the program of the Metropolitan Recreation Commission in Stockton City Government and San Joaquin County, is a particularly interesting activity.
In contrast to many …
