    1. Systems Thinking: Frameworks Week 2 SOCIAL PLANNING TECHNIQUES

    2. Systems Thinking Systems thinking is simply a collection of things that have some influence on each other.... The things can be almost anything, including objects, organisms, machines, processes, ideas, numbers, supports or organizations. Thinking of a collection of things as a system draws our attention to what needs to be included among the parts to make sense of it, to how its parts interact with one another, and to how the system as a whole relates to other systems.

    3. “In our attempts to build and nurture sustainable communities we can learn valuable lessons from ecosystems, which are sustainable communities of plants, animals, and microorganisms”.

    4. Shifts in Perception According to Fritjof Capra, systems thinking requires thinking in terms of relationships, connectedness, and context. Thinking systemically also requires several shifts in perception, which lead in turn to different ways to organise society:

    5. From parts to the whole Systems are integrated wholes whose properties cannot be reduced to those of smaller parts. Their "systemic" properties are properties of the whole which are possessed by none of the parts.

    6. From objects to relationships An ecosystem is not just a collection of species, but is a community. Communities, whether ecosystems or human systems, are made up of sets, or networks, of relationships. In the systems view, the "objects" of study are networks of relationships.

    7. What is Social Planning Social planning plays a pivotal role in creating liveable communities, vibrant economies, sustainable places, diverse cultural expression and social cohesion. It is about planning to improve wellbeing and quality of life in local communities.

    8. Systems Thinking Approach in Social Planning A vision or set of objectives -Framework Action Planning – Planning spiral plan, action, reflect and review/plan Methodology – or Blueprint that will guide you throughout the project

What is a Healthy City? “A healthy city is one that is constantly creating and improving those physical and social environments and expanding those community resources which enable people to mutually support each other in performing all the functions of life and in developing their maximum potential” (Hancock & Duhl, 1988)

    19. Settings Approach The Jakarta Declaration (WHO 1997) reinforced the importance of a ‘settings approach’ and the need for urban settings that are sensitive to community need

    20. Ageing in Place Is a concept which emphasises the importance of supporting older people in their homes and communities for as long as possible. Policies and programs designed to provide support structures enabling older people to age in place are important because the wellbeing and stated preference of older people is to live at home in the community.

    25. The Youth Friendly City A call to involving children and youth as architects and agents of change in their cities

    26. The Youth Friendly City “While cities urgently need to provide for young people's needs, this paper focuses on children and youth's participation as the cornerstone for children's well-being and the creation of sustainable child and youth-friendly cities. Throughout their development, children and youth need to be involved as meaningful partners in the planning and design of these services. Not only because they have a right to a voice in matters that concern them, as clearly stated in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and other UN documents, but because they are the greatest experts on their environment and a powerful resource for social change”.

    27. The Youth Friendly City - 4 types of cities A call to involving children and youth as architects and agents of change in their cities Resilient city discusses how, in environments not always designed to enable their resilience, children and youth, not only survive stress, oppression, and adversity, but draw from their marginalization to improve their urban communities. Secure city identifies children and youth threats to safety and security and presents the multiple prevention and intervention measures children and youth are engaging in to safeguard individual and community well-being. Capable city focuses on child and youth participation in the context of local government. Livable city examines the involvement of child and youth in creating livable cities through five key issue-areas: water, transportation, food security and space, sustainable technology and innovation, and going ‘glocal'.
