What is a socially valued role
(SVR)?
“Roles identify the ways that people belong to
each other, participate in exchanges with each
other, and expect reciprocal responsibility from
each other. They identify the contexts in which
people learn skills and perform skillfully
and the areas of life where people can
experience satisfaction and earn status”

Community Definition
Paul Spicker (1995) defined community as:
‘a group of people linked by common
characteristics or culture; a group of
people linked through social
relationships, people living in a confined
geographical area; people who share a
set of common interests.’
Community Definition
George Hillary (1955) presented 94
definitions of Community. His viewpoint
was:
‘at the core function and existence of
community is PEOPLE. How people act
and engage with one another defines
both the type of community, how
strong and how effective that
community is.’
