Öffentliche Sozialplanung und die Freie Wohlfahrtspflege

Social planning is a developing profession, which is becoming increasingly important due to mounting social conflicts. Using professional sociological considerations as its starting point, this book presents observations on why social planning needs to be developed further and how this can be achieved. The relationship between public planning and voluntary welfare plays a significant role in this respect. As this book examines the methodology of and practical examples from the everyday workings of social planning (helping the homeless, the disabled and young people, rehabilitation, and municipal control and its effectiveness), it offers a solid foundation of knowledge about this profession to all those who are working in it or would like to know more about it.
