The Models, Techniques and Social Workers’ Roles in Macro Social Work Practice

Year 2017, Volume: 28 Issue: 1, 187 - 202, 18.05.2017

Abstract

The practice
of macro social work, named as community work, generally focuses on the organization
and advocacy of societies and communities on the axis of goals such as
equality, justice and development for a progressive change. Social action theorists
like Freire and Alinsky have important contributions to the embodiment of the practice.
However, most of these theories are based on class and conflict analysis. The practice
of social work is blended and discussed with many new theories and discourses and
there is a search for new methods of practice, due to rapidly growing neo-liberal
policies, globalization dynamics, international migrations, refugee problem,
and new social movements such as environment, women, children and LGBTI rights
in the 21th century. The aim of this article is to discuss not only the social development
programmes carried out by international organisations, but also the historical development
process of increasingly growing importance of macro social work practice and theory,
and finally, the roles of social workers working with the communities.

MAKRO SOSYAL HİZMET UYGULAMASINDA KULLANILAN MODELLER, TEKNİKLER VE SOSYAL HİZMET UZMANLARININ ROLLERİ

Year 2017, Volume: 28 Issue: 1, 187 - 202, 18.05.2017

Abstract

Toplumla
çalışma olarak da adlandırılan makro sosyal hizmet uygulaması genel olarak
toplumların/toplulukların ilerici bir değişim için eşitlik, adalet, kalkınma
gibi hedefler ekseninde örgütlenmesine ve savunuculuğa odaklanmaktadır. Uygulamanın
şekillenmesinde Freire ve Alinsky gibi sosyal eylem teorisyenlerinin önemli
katkıları bulunmaktadır. Ancak bu teorilerin çoğu sınıf ve çatışma kuramlarına
dayanmaktadır. Özellikle 21.yy’da hızla artan neoliberal politikalar,
küreselleşme dinamikleri, uluslararası göçler, mülteci sorunu, çevre, kadın, çocuk
ve LGBTİ hakları gibi yeni oluşan toplumsal hareketler ile uygulamanın birçok teori
ve söylemle harmanlandığı, tartışıldığı ve yeni yöntemlerin arayışına girildiği
görülmektedir.Bu makale ile uluslararası kuruluşların yürüttüğü toplumsal kalkınma
programlarıyla gittikçe önemi artan makro sosyal hizmet uygulamasının tarihsel
süreçteki gelişimi, teorisi, uygulanılan teknikler, toplumla çalışan sosyal
hizmet uzmanlarının rolleri aktarılmaya çalışılmıştır.
