Book excerpt: A social power model is defined which may be used by the local civil defense director for analyzing social power in his community. The community members who have social power and affect the community decisionmaking process are designated as power actors. The power actors in five Iowa communities were interviewed. They were found to have similar personal and social characteristics. The power actors were perceived to have social power if the community was to build a community fallout shelter in the near future. The power actors' civil defense attitudes, knowledge, sources of information, and actions were analyzed. The power actors (1) had a low perception of threat, (2) perceived that we should have civil defense programs which (a) licenses, marks, and stocks existing buildings, (b) encourages the construction of individual family shelters, (c) makes available financial assistance for the construction of public shelter spaces in new public buildings, and (d) encourages communities or local governmental units to construct their own locally financed community shelters.

The general objectives of this report are (1) to define concepts which are relevant to understanding the community decision-making process, (2) to present an analytical model or framework which a local civil defense director could use in analyzing social power, (3) to operationalize the framework in one community, and (4) to determine the civil defense knowledge, sentiments, sources of information and actions of community influentials. The specific objectives are (1) to delineate the persons perceived to be community influentials and who affect the decision-making processes of the community, (2) to determine the personal and social characteristics of the community influentials, (3) to determine the extent to which there is a structure in the interpersonal relationships among community influentials, (4) to determine the extent to which the community influentials are perceived to have social power in different issue areas.

Book excerpt: The local community is conceptualized as a social system. One of the elements of the social system is social power. A social power model is defined which may be used by local civil defense change agents for analyzing social power in their communities. The major concepts of the social power model are social power, authority, influence, power structure, and power actors. The community members who have social power and affect the community decision-making process are designated as power actors. The interrelationships of the major concepts are stated as general hypotheses. The social power model was operationalized in five Iowa communities. The community power actors in each community were interviewed. The community actors perceived that social power existed in the community. The community power actors exercised social power to affect the outcomes of community issue areas. They were found to have similar personal and social characteristics. The power actors had a structure in their interpersonal relations. The power structures tended to vary by issue area to a greater extent as the size of the community increased. In the smaller communities, the top power actors tended to be holding positions of authority, while the top power actors in the larger communities tended to not be in positions of authority at the present time. The power actors perceived some sources of power to be more relevant than other sources of power toward giving a person social power to affect community affairs. The power actors perceived that there was an expected set of role performances to be fulfilled prior to becoming a community power actor. Implications for civil defense officials based on the findings are presented. (Author).
