El artículo comienza con unas reflexiones en torno a la situación actual de la democracia y la participación, marcada por la crisis sistémica en la que vivimos. En la segunda parte se estudian las relaciones que se dan entre la profesión y formación universitaria en Trabajo Social y de estas con los programas de participación ciudadana ejecutados desde los Servicios Sociales. En la práctica profesional del Trabajo Social en entes locales se han ido reduciendo los proyectos de desarrollo comunitario y de fomento de la participación, aunque, de forma esperanzadora, en el nuevo título de Grado en Trabajo Social se vuelven a incluir estos temas entre las competencias que deben tener los futuros graduados. En un tercer bloque se trata de definir y diferenciar mejor los conceptos que se suelen utilizar cuando se tratan estos temas: democracia representativa/participativa y participación social/ciudadana, finalizando con la descripción y análisis de los diferentes niveles y formas de participación que se re-producen en las sociedades democráticas. The article begins with some reflections on the current situation of democracy and participation, marked by the systemic crisis in which we live. In the second part we deal with the relationships that exist between the profession and university training in social work, and between those and citizen participation programs run from social services. Professional social work practice in local services has reduced community development projects and participative projects, though, hopefully, the new Degree in Social Work reinstates these issues between the skills required future graduates. In a third section we try to define and differentiate the concepts that are often used when these topics: representative/participatory democracy and social/civic participation, ending with the description and analysis of the different levels and forms of participation that are re-produced in democratic societies.

Artikel ini membahas tentang pentingnya faktor lingkungan dalam mendukung Sistem Usaha Kesejahteraan Sosial. Selama ini, praktik usaha kesejahteraan sosial masih dalam kerangka baku, yang hanya menggunakan pendekatan case work, group work, community organization dan community development. Sekarang telah disadari oleh para pakar kesejahteraan sosial dan pekerjaan sosial bahwa masalah kesejahteraan sosial juga berasal dari degradasi lingkungan.Agar dapat berperan aktif dan positif ahli kesejahteraan sosial dan pekerja sosial dalam melakukan intervensi komunitas, maka perlu menambah pengetahuannya tentang ekologi dan lingkungan agar mampu melakukan intervensi dengan baik. Metode intervensi ini berbasis lingkungan, sehingga dalam mengatasi masalah sosial pekerja sosial bisa melakukan pembelaan terhadap korban kerusakan lingkungan dan mampu berperan aktif dalam memberikan kesadaran masyarakat tentang pentingnya unsure lingkungan sebagai bagian hidup manusia.Dengan perkembangan ini, pekerja sosial dan ahli di bidang kesejahteraan sosial harus memperlajari ilmu-ilmu terkait lingkungan agar mampu melakukan praktik pekerjaan sosialnya dengan baik. Model pekerja sosial demikian dapat disebut sebagai ‘pekerja sosial hijau’ atau ‘green social worker’.

Abstract How do welfare-reliant mothers enact their agency in relationships with social workers and social services? The present article addresses this question by investigating how twenty Israeli welfare-reliant mothers expressed different modes of human agency in in-depth interviews. Results show how research participants enact agency through (i) expressing anger, (ii) seeking help, (iii) resisting and (iv) engaging in non-action. By highlighting the multidimensional and situational nature of agency, this article offers a new relational lens for conceptualising and empirically studying human agency in social work.
