It functions as part of the total public health program for the promotion of health, the improvement of the conditions in the social and physical environment, rehabilitation of illness and disability.

HISTORY OF CANELAR, ZAMBOANGA CITY

Barangay Canelar was a quaint sitio of the City of Zambonga in the pre and post war days. So far, Canelar was the largest barrio here in Zamboanga City before the enactment of the Local Government Code of 1996 with its boundary lines in the east, the entire stretch of the Veterans Avenue expanding from the intersection of Tetuan up to Tumaga intersection. In the south it expands its wings up to the Sucabon areas. In the west, the long stretch of the San Jose-Baliwasan Roads and in the north, the boundary line is the runway that divides Barangays Sta. Maria and Canelar. The term Canelar, legend has it, that once upon a time, the barrio was the habitat of for the commercial trees known as Canela. Hence, the Spanish conquistadores gave its official name as Canelar, and since then, the term Canelar became a proverbial word.

LOCATION OF CANELAR, ZAMBOANGA CITY

Canelar is about 1.20 kilometers north of City hall. It is bounded in the east by Sucabon Creek; in the north by the airstrip serving as the natural boundary for Canelar and Sta. Maria; in the west a demarcation line has been drawn in the interior portions to separate the Barangays of Baliwasan, San Jose Cawa-Cawa'; and Sto. Nio, and in the southern portion, it is narrowed down to the long stretch of Gov. Alvarez Ave. Gov. Camins Ave. cuts Canelar from East to West. At the cross-section of Gov. Camins Ave. and Sta. Maria Ave (climaco Rd), you will find 24 hour restaurants, such as: Jollibee and Chowking. An "island" full of beautiful plants adorns the center divide.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZING PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH

COPAR (Community Organizing Participatory Action Research) 1. Is a social development approach that aims to transform the apathetic, individualistic and voiceless poor into dynamic, participatory and politically responsive community. 2. Is a continuous and a sustained process of:

1. 2.

Educating the people - to understand and develop their critical consiousness Working with people - to work collectively and effectively on their immediate and long term problems

3.

Mobilizing with people - develop their capability and readiness to respond, take action on their immediate needs towards solving the long term problems

4.

The process and structure through which members of a community are/or become organized for participation in health care and community development activities.

Process: - the sequence of steps whereby members of a community come together to critically assess to evaluate community conditions and work together to improve those conditions.

Structure: - refers to a particular group of community members that work together for a common health and health related goals.

IMPORTANCE OF COPAR COPAR is an important tool for community development and people empowerment as this helps the community workers to generate community participation in development activities. COPAR prepares people to eventually take over the management of a development program in the future.

 COPAR maximizes community participation and involvement: community resources are mobilized for health development services.

PRINCIPLES: 1. People especially the most oppressed, exploited and deprived sectors are open to change, have the capacity to change and are able to bring about change. COPAR should be based on the interest of the poorest sector of the community. COPAR should lead to a self-reliant community and society.

Emphasis of COPAR

1. 2. 3.

Community working to solve its own problem Direction is established internally and externally Development and implementation of a specific project less important than the development of the capacity of the community to establish the project

4.

Consciousness raising involves perceiving health and medical care within the total structure of society

Importance of COPAR

1. 2.

COPAR maximizes community participation and involvement COPAR could be an alternative in situations wherein health interventions in Public Health Care do not require direct involvement of modern medical practitioners

3.

COPAR gets people actively involved in selection and support of community health workers

4. 5.

Through COPAR, community resources are mobilized for selected health services COPAR improves both projects effectiveness during implementation

Phases of COPAR Process:

1. Pre-Entry Phase - is the initial phase of the organizing process where the community organizer looks for communities to serve and help. Activities include:

Preparation of the Institution 1. Train faculty and students in COPAR.

2. 3. 4.

Formulate plans for institutionalizing COPAR. Revise/enrich curriculum and immersion program. Coordinate participants of other departments.

Site Selection 1. 2. 3. 4. Initial networking with local government. Conduct preliminary special investigation. Make long/short list of potential communities. Do ocular survey of listed communities.

Criteria for Initial Site Selection 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Must have a population of 100-200 families. Economically depressed. No strong resistance from the community. No serious peace and order problem. No similar group or organization holding the same program.

Identifying Potential Municipalities 1. Make long/short list.

Identifying Potential Barangay 1. 2. 3. Do the same process as in selecting municipality. Consult key informants and residents. Coordinate with local government and NGOs for future activities.

Choosing Final Barangay 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Conduct informal interviews with community residents and key informants. Determine the need of the program in the community. Take note of political development. Develop community profiles for secondary data. Develop survey tools. Pay courtesy call to community leaders. Choose foster families based on guidelines.

Identifying Host Family

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

House is strategically located in the community. Should not belong to the rich segment. Respected by both formal and informal leaders. Neighbors are not hesitant to enter the house. No member of the host family should be moving out in the community.

2. Entry Phase - sometimes called the social preparation phase. Is crucial in determining which strategies for organizing would suit the chosen community. Success of the activities depend on how much the community organizers has integrated with the community.

Guidelines for Entry 1. Recognize the role of local authorities by paying them visits to inform their presence and activities. 2. Her appearance, speech, behavior and lifestyle should be in keeping with those of the community residents without disregard of their being role model. 3.

Core Group Formation 1. Leader spotting through sociogram. Key persons - approached by most people Opinion leader - approach by key persons Isolates - never or hardly consulted

3. Organization-building Phase Entails the formation of more formal structure and the inclusion of more formal procedure of planning, implementing, and evaluating community-wise activities. It is at this phase where the

organized leaders or groups are being given training (formal, informal, OJT) to develop their style in managing their own concerns/programs.

Key Activities 1. 1. 2. 3. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Community Health Organization (CHO) preparation of legal requirements guidelines in the organization of the CHO by the core group election of officers Research Team Committee Planning Committee Health Committee Organization Others Formation of by-laws by the CHO
