M.A. (Social Science) / GOVERNMENT VILLAGE VEREENIGING - a client system in social work. Upon closer evaluation of this title the following aspects emerge: - The research was restricted by the brief to upgrade this specific community's quality of life. In the execution of the brief the entire community became the client system, and the system likewise the research area. - Systems theory was used as an avenue of approach because the community as a system can be divided into groups, families and individuals each as a separate sub-system functioning as such in the development programme. In the development programme community work was mainly used. Initially the project, known as II Project Government Village", was undertaken in order to establish a community profile; when the shortcomings in the community emerged, the candidate took the opportunity to launch community work action. The community profile, together with community work served as the context of this literature and empirically founded exercise. The report illustrates the paradigm of researcher being social worker and vice versa.
