What I Need to Know
Over the last two decades, research and practice in health promotion have
increasingly employed community engagement, defined as “the process of working
collaboratively with and through groups of people affiliated by geographic
proximity, special interest, or similar situations to address issues affecting the well-
being of those people” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 1997, p
9) In general, the goals of community engagement are to build trust, enlist new
resources and allies, create better communication, and improve overall health
outcomes as successful projects evolve into lasting collaborations (CDC, 1997;
Shore, 2006; Wallerstein, 2002)

What is It
CONCEPTS OF COMMUNITY
As we all know that community is a group of people living in the same place
or having a particular characteristic in common. It is also a feeling of fellowship
with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interest, and goals.

There are three (3) types of community, Rural and Urban and Suburban.
1) Rural area is an open swath of land that has few homes or other
buildings, and not very many people.

"Urban area" can refer to towns, cities, and suburbs. An urban area

The role the community plays can include community consultation, joint

Human society has a very large impact on the natural environment. We are
changing the makeup of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere, depleting a variety of
natural resources, changing the global climate, and causing many other species to
go extinct.
Natural science can help us understand the nature of these environmental impacts
but social science is needed to understand why and how human society is causing
8
them.
(Environmental Policy)
Given the importance on the impacts of humanity on the environment and
the environment on humanity, society’s policies toward the environment are also
important. This includes our policies on how we impact the environment and
policies on how we respond environmental conditions and changes in these
conditions. The word policy here should be interpreted broadly to include the
policies of government but also the policies of businesses, schools, non-profit
organization, and even households and individual people.
