Developing community empowerment model for supporting practice of transition

这项研究的目的是澄清社区的性质，使其成员能够自我独立。我们发现：1)一个能够解放参与者的社区是一个参与者之间、参与者与社区之间具有松散耦合的社区。我们可以称这个函数为未定区域。2)该函数的本质矩是离散性和同调。分散性是指组织学习的分布式过程，以及为独立参与主体之间提供共鸣和同步可能性的同源过程。同质化的条件涉及以下几个方面：颠覆主导价值观，创造新的文化和实践共同体的复合结构。3)支持人员在这一领域的角色是“编辑”，而不是设计师。每个参与者都可以在这样的编辑下成为自己生活故事的设计者。

The purpose of this research was to clarify the nature of community that enables the self-independence of its members. What we have found are the followings:1) A community that can emancipate participants is one with a loose coupling among participants and between participants and community. We can call this function Non-determined zone. 2) Essential moments of this function are dispersibility and homology. Dispersibility refers to distributed processes organizing learning, and homology those that provide for the possibilities of sympathizing and synchronizing among independent participating agents. The conditions of making homology relate to the following: reversing dominant values, creating a new culture and the compounded structure of communities of practice. 3) The role of support staff in this space is that of 'editor' rather than designer. Each participant can become a designer of their own life story under such an editor.
