The Action Logic and Sustainable Development Strategy of Social Work Institutions in Intervening in the Construction of Child-Friendly Communities:A Case Study of Project X in Anhui Province
Building child-friendly communities involves collaboration across various stakeholders,including human actors,such as civil affairs,grassroots communities,residents,and universities,and non-human actors like community culture and public spaces.How social work institutions activate this multifaceted network warrants further exploration.This study takes the example of Project X in Anhui Province and utilizes the explanatory framework of Actor-Network Theory.It analyzes the action logic of social work institutions at different stages:establishing common action goals and mandatory passage points during the problem presentation stage,coordinating the key interests of various actors during the interest endowment stage,promoting the integration of heterogeneous actors during the recruitment stage,and building a mutually beneficial interest community during the dissent mobilization stage.To ensure the sustainability of constructing child-friendly communities,strategies that social work institutions should adopt include exploring the internal strength of community characteristics through research and assessment,incorporating the participation of heterogeneous actors through cross-disciplinary integration,establishing communication channels between stakeholders through platform construction,and ensuring the autonomy of planning and operation through empowerment.
