Public community work in Örebro  - a descriptive study (Swedish)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med vår studie var att beskriva och söka kunskap om det offentliga samhällsarbetet i Örebro kommun .  Problemområdet var  hur utförarna av samhällsarbete förklarar  social problematik, hur samhällsarbetet utförs, samt på vilket sätt medborgarna är delaktiga. Empiri insamlades genom en  kvalitativ intervjustudie. Respondenterna  var  fyra  offentligt anställda samhällsarbetare  i Örebro. Resultaten analyserades med utgångspunkt i marxistisk teori och strategier samt principer för samhällsarbete. Analysen visade likheter mellan respondenternas orsaksförklaringar till social problematik  och  marxistisk teori. Arbetssätten har  vissa kopplingar till marxistisk teori, men  inte i samma utsträckning som orsaksförklaringarna. Medborgarna är delaktiga i arbetet, men visst företrädarskap förekommer, något som svårligen kan betraktas som samhällsarbete  på grund av att medborgarna ej är delaktiga i detta.  Offentligt samhällsarbete i Örebro bedrivs huvudsakligen utifrån ett konsensusperspektiv.  Nyckelord: Samhällsarbete, offentligt, områdesutveckling, delaktighet, marxism

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to describe and seek to understand the public community work in Örebro municipality. The questions  were  how the community workers explain social problems, how the community work is executed and in what way the citizens participate in community work. This is a qualitative interview study. The respondents were  four publicly employed community workers in Örebro. The results were analyzed with marxist theory and strategies and principels for community work. The analysis showed similarities between  the respondents’  explainations of social problems and  marxist theory. The strategies of community work have some similarities with marxist theory, but not to the same extent as the responents’ explainations of social problems. The citizens participate in the community work, but advocasy is used to some extent, and this can hardly be described as community work due to lack of citizen participation. Public community work in Örebro is mostly conducted with a consensus perspective.   Keywords: Community work, public, community development, participation, marxism
