Abstract | The utility of Rothman's three ideal types of social action as applied to community issues and Extension agents were explored via analysis of condensed case study materials describing decisions and activities surrounding a specific issue in the target county of a Title V (Rural Development Act of 1972) Project in South Carolina. The three Rothman models and the community issues analyzed were: (1) the locality development model as applied to development of a county-wide comprehensive rural fire protection program; (2) the social planning model as applied to extension agents' responses to a request for assistance in exploring alternatives for establishing a county-wide human services campus; (3) the social action model of planned change as applied to provision of adequate community services and facilities to a densely populated minority (black) neighborhood. Analysis indicated that: in the instance of rural fire protection, the role of Extension personnel ranged from emphasis on information gathering/dissemination to efforts to involve and inform a communication network; in the case of the human services campus, the primary extension involvement was fact-gathering and analyzation for decision making; in the case of service and facility provision to a low-income black community, the Extension involvement became more catalytic than directive.
