Vosloorus community members’ motivations for and experiences in participating in primary co-operatives : a social work perspectiveMoropana, Lebogang 06 1900 (has links)
Co-operatives are multifaceted as they have different meanings for their members. They are an important passage to sustainable development as they provide their members and communities with the opportunity of joining forces and addressing their needs. Various pieces of South African legislation endorse the establishment of co-operatives and support community members to own co-operatives.
The research findings show that cooperative members are motivated to participate even though they experience challenges in the cooperatives. What keeps them going is the drive to succeed. This is strengthened by cooperative principles to which they adhere. The role of the social worker in initiating and supporting cooperatives, utilizing empowerment and developmental approaches, provides extra benefits for cooperative members, their families and the larger community. One critical benefit is the income generated through economic activities to support members and their families. Based on the research findings, recommendation are made with regard to practice, policy and further research. / Social Work / M.A. (S.S.) (Social Work)

Koöperasie as mededingingstrategie vir graanprodusente, 1995Olivier, Pieter Gerhardus 06 1900 (has links)
Kooperasies, as werktuie ter doelwitbereiking vir graanprodusente, het sedert hul totstandkoming
onderskeibare ontwikkelingsfases deurgegaan. Die toepassing van kooperasie as mededingingstrategie
deur graanprodusente is grootliks bei"nvloed deur die veranderings wat tydens die ontwikkelingsfases
voorgekom het. Aksies wat in die loop van hierdie ontwikkellngsfases ingestel was,
het mettertyd onduidelikhede oor die bestaansgrondslag van die kooperasies laat ontstaan.
Die klJmaat van politieke veranderings wat tans in die land heers, kan ook belangrike veranderings
meebring ten opsigte van die grondslag waarop kooperasies funksioneer. Pie uitwerking van die
verwagte veranderings kan kooperasies forseer om strategiese aanpassings in hul strukture te
maak ten einde steeds suksesvol te kan bly voortbestaan. ·
Graanprodusente verkeer in 'n posisie wat vereis dat daar besin moet word oor strategiee wat
gevolg kan word ten einde steeds suksesvol in die onsekere markomstandighede mee te ding. Die
toepassing van kooperasie as mededingingstrategie waarvolgens graanprodusente deur lidmaatskap
van die kooperasies in die mark deelgeneem het, kom nou ook onder die loep.
Die hoofprobleem waarop daar dus in hierdie studie gefokus word, is om te bepaal of kooperasie as
mededingingstrategie geskik is om die individuele en kollektiewe belange van graanprodusente te
bevorder.
Van die belangrikste bevindings van die studie is:
Graanprodusente voorsien dat kooperasie individuele graanprodusente se markoptrede kan
versterk.
Graanprodusente is van mening dat hulle deur middel van kooperasie wat manifesteer in
selfstandige besigheidsondernemings, genaamd ''kooperasies", 'n positiewe invloed vir graanprodusente
op die mark kan uitoefen.
Daar kcan nie 'n beduidende negatiewe, of positiewe persepsie oor onderlinge mededinging en
die invloed wat die vryemarkbedeling daarop uitoefen, by graanprodusente gei"dentifiseer
word nie. Dit blyk egter dat sommige graanprodusente die vryemarkbedeling as 'n belangrike
markfaktor bejeen. Ander graanprodusente huldig 'n meer buigsame benadering jeens die
vryemarkbedeling.
Graanprodusente is, met enkele klemverskille, van mening dat die kooperasies nie daarin
slaag om die tradisionele kooperasiebeginsels in die wyse waarop kooperasies hul besigheid
bedryf, volledig toe te pas nie.
Graanprodusente het oor die algemeen gesien duidelike menings oor die noodsaaklikheid
daa.rvan dat die staat nie by die graanbedryf meet inmeng nie. Ander tipes ondersteuningstrategiee,
soos die oprigting van beslote korporasies of maatskappye, geniet wisselende
steun. 'n Beduidende groep graanprodusente is onseker oor moontlikhede om maatskappye
met kapitaalgroei as basis te skep, om sodoende in geheel met kooperasies weg te doen. / Co-operatives have experienced distinguishable changes. The application of co-operation as a
competitive strategy by g~in producers was largely influenced by the changes. The prevailing
political changes can also instigate important changes with regard to co-operatives.
Grain producers must revise strategies to maintain successful competition in the market.
The study investigates co-operation as a competitive strategy to advance the individual and
collective interests of grain producers, Findings are:
Grain producers are convinced that co-operation enhances the market related actions of individual
grain producers.
Grain producers can, through co-operation, exercise a positive influence in the market.
No definite negative or positive perception concerning the influence of the free market system
upon mutual competition could be identified.
Grain producers are convinced that the state should not interfere with the grain industry. / Business Management / M. Admin. (Business Management)

Paradigma ontleding van en paradigma beskrywing vir deelnemende werkswysesSchenck, Catherina Johanna 11 1900 (has links)
Community development and in particular participatory development is about
people.
This means that the person who studies or practices participatory development
or any other of the participatory pratices should have a particular way of thinking
about people. The main aim motivating this study was to investigate the
paradigm/s about people on which participatory practices are based. This
included a literature research on five participatory practices namely
participatory development;
participatory communication;
participatory learning;
participatory research; and
participatory management.
A guideline for paradigm analysis was developed by using Schriver's (1995) and
Capra's (1996) descriptions of a paradigm as well as ideas of hermeneutics.
From the paradigm analysis on the participatory practices two themes emerged:
A shift from modernism to post modernism in the thinking processes and
participatory practices.
From the participatory practices the same concepts repeatedly emerged
indicating a similar paradigm for all the participatory practices.
Three post modern theories were therefore applied to enhance the description
of the different concepts. The end result of this study is the development of an
evolving paradigm for participatory practices in order to give enhanced meaning
to concepts in the participatory vocabulary.
Finally a critical reflection was done on the post modern research process. / Text in Afrikaans / Social Work / D.Phil. (Social Work)

Towards people's participation and rural development : the case of Kudumane DistrictBotchway, Samuel Asare 06 1900 (has links)
Traditional development theories concentrated on stimulating economic growth without
considering the extent to which growth would affect rural people's quality of life.
Modernisation has failed to improve life in rural Third World areas.
Current development thinking emphasises the human aspect of development and IS more
inclined towards participatory rural development.
Referring specifically to the Batlharos Water project, the study investigates and identifies the
causes ofthe limited initiatives in participatory development within the Kudumane district in
the North-West Province of South Africa. Trends in the evolution of development thought to
people's participation, including factors, processes and approaches that may facilitate
participatory development in the Kudumane area are discussed. Factors that have affected
and limited earlier participatory initiatives in this area are isolated.
The study concludes that unless rural communities constantly become the planners, initiators
and executors of local development, no real transformation of their lives can be
accomplished. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Administration)

Phela o phedise : a case study of an income-generating project in Moganyaka communityMavalela, Hildah Ramadimetja 12 1900 (has links)
Participatory development is believed to be an essential ingredient of the development
process because it enables the people to influence the policy and decision-making process. It
facilitates the designing of and enhances the implementation of plans and programmes or projects
and that participation results in the development of ownership and belonging among the people
themselves. This feeling in turn goes a long way to ensure the success of a programme or project.
This study highlights some of the elements that led to the successful implementation of an
income-generating project with women. The study also demonstrates that the people's own ideas are
able to command adequate levels of participation, support and commitment to enhance their ability
to meet their needs. The study further looks at the ownership of the project as very important for
successful implementation and that projects or programmes should be facilitated within the means
of the local participants to manage and control them.
The elements mentioned in this study are an essential part of participatory development and enable
the people to learn to take charge of their lives and solve their own problems.
The study further looks at cultural and traditional values as an essential part of human growth,
because local action taken by the women is very important in promoting overall success of the
project. / Social work / M.A. (SS) (Mental Health)
