Understanding the Ethos of Community-Based Development: Ethnographic Description for Public Administrators.

Rubin, Herbert J.

Public Administration Review, v53 n5 p428-37 Sep-Oct 1993

Uses a study of community-based development organizations (CBDOs) to describe how directors of CBDOs perceive their work. Postulates that many administrators misunderstand the mission of CBDOs to not only provide services but to foster broader change. Encourages those in the public sector to understand better and support an alternative to the renewal of poor neighborhoods. (Author)
