Description
  • Community engagement has become a core responsibility of higher education, alongside teaching and research. The community engagement focus of the Department of Geography at UNISA is the project %22Roots Driven Rural Development%22 which is conducted in collaboration with a non-governmental organisation (the Greater Rustenburg Community Foundation ? GRCF) and communities in the Bojanala Region of North West Province. Apart from striving to facilitate development in the Bojanala region, the project also aims at further developing and fine-tuning a methodology (CAMP ? Community Asset Mapping Program) developed by the GRCF to conduct and steer roots driven change for the global south. Although conceptualised independently, the community-based participatory approach of the CAMP methodology shows large similarities with the more well-known and cited methodology of ABCD (Asset Based Community Development) developed in the early 1990s by John Kretzmann and John McKnight. In the Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide (developed out of the United Nations Rio Conference on the Environment in 1992), community-based mapping is identified as a best practice for locally-based sustainability planning. As the name suggests, mapping is part and parcel of the CAMP methodology to effect change in a community. These mapping activities include power mapping, economic mapping, cognitive mapping and creative mapping ? collectively aimed at the communities being able to visualise their community assets, capacities, abilities, and community structures. The focus is thus on mapping by the community of their values, assets and visions for the future and not mapping for or of a community. The paper will outline the methodologies followed and sources used in community mapping in Koffiekraal in the North- West province. Secondly the paper will share experiences gained from the applied methodology.
