Revealing the Potential Social Dimensions of Community and Community Planning
Since the establishment of"community"as an administrative concept and practical policy tool in China in the 1980s,there has been a lack of in-depth re-search in the planning field on the socio-spatial and temporal relationships of the concept.Meanwhile,the tendency to address material deficiency issues through com-munity planning and actions has been prominent.This paper aims to tackle this prob-lem by combining theoretical and empirical analysis to delve into the social dimen-sions of community and community planning.The paper clarifies the conceptual rela-tionship between community and society,analyzes the social connotation of commu-nity,critiques the practice of assessing community situations through quantitative stan-dards,and expands the social pathology method and socio-temporal-spatial analysis method for community studies.It also explores community-based solutions to social problems from mutual social and community perspectives.Furthermore,the paper elaborates on potential social issues in community planning and seeks to embed forward-thinking about social dimensions in community planning processes to effec-tively overcome the technical difficulties imposed by social problems.
