Jounal of SocialWork?3?

Localization,which is posibble to be discussed themost frequent concept tin the field of socialwork in China in recent years.In fact,since the 1930s,the socialwork was introduced into China,the localization of discussion isnotstopped:whether China need localization?How to define the localization?What is the relationship between localization w ith local socialwork?Among scholars remain controversial.Some scholarsw ith the eclecticism,they think that Chinese and Western is theory of western socialwork combined w ith the actualsituation of China.Someone are bringism,they think the foreign goods can be directly used by us.There are some scholars deem thatChina have socialwork in the early time,butpeople don’t call it,they call it as civilwork,women work and poverty-reliefwork.Peoplewho hold the first view is relatively more,however relatively few people hold the second and the third views,butwhich is typical opinion.

However,we stand in the reality of China today to discuss these issues,whether is is the eclecticism, the bringism or the populism,people are based on their own to understand socialwork.Now,the formal developmentof Chinese socialwork hasadvanced the ten years time,if you count the thirtiesof the 20th century,there have been a lot of experience.These experience can answer these questions:the theory and method of socialwork is derived from western society,is it partial or all applicable in different historical stages in China?

If people regard the socialwork as a kind of ability thathuman repairing their social function,so it is destined to have intense social features,this is a rem inder that socialwork don’t like engineering disciplines thathave some general formula can be applied in different politicaland the objectof cultural situation.Therefore,when we introduce thewestern of socialwork and system into China,we need consider its cultural sensitivity.In otherwords,we need conversion words,acculturation contentand restting form,let the“Chinese context”digestion and acceptmore effectively.

Butwhere is theway of localization?In recent years,scholars take outa lotofmeaningful solutions. However,the understanding of cross-culturemay be also one of these solutions.In theory,cross-cultural isrequired professional social work that can comprehend the different of cultural background of politics, economy,culture,custom and huamen’s behavior correctly,and fully inclusive,accept and adapt to this. Based on this understanding,China should depend on own theory to guide and construct the theory and method of socialwork,that is,when thewestern of professional socialwork into Chinese related theoretical framework,and translated into Chinese language.This needs to be out of the“western centralism”m ind-set,located in Chinese political system,cultural environment,absorbed the western culture in the contextof socialwork know ledge,and also needs to envisage enough thatChina hasa verymaturemechanism to help,and resultexperience.

In December 17～18,2016,sun yat-sen university held International Conference on Transform ing SocialWork in China under the New Normal Conditions,the three scholars from different angles discusses the cross-cultural perspective to understand the naturalization of socialwork.Now,we published in the paper,may help to China's currentexploration.

Socialwork has paid more attention to factors relative to clients’community history，politics，culture and so on，while they have concerned less on physical spaces.This hasmade social work practice overlook mutual effects between traits of community residents’social humanity relationship and physical environmental spaces，and these effectsw ill positively or negatively influence effectiveness of professional service.In fact，in 19th Century，Booth applied the concept of geographic information to socialwork and formed tradition of socialwork“mapping”，while onlym inority of socialworkers in England，America and Taiwan have applied spatial implication to socialwork via GIS software.Inmainland China，social work practice lacksmore spatial implication，so tradition and experience of spatial implication in social work practiceneed to be retrieved，providing experience forsocialwork development inmainland China.

In an age of fiscal constraintsand citizens’grow ing demands,contracting-outand public-private partnership(PPP)havebeen seen asone of thebeststrategies to copew ith the challenges.Hence,the collaborativemechanism such aswelfarem ix in service delivery recently has become a popular theme in public administration and social policy and effective partnership is important for service provision.However,most scholars stand upon the viewpointof“government-centred”to discuss how to reduce the costbymonitoring the firm or voluntary and community sector(VCS),entirely neglect the possibility that government is troublemaker for partnership failure.This paperattempts to answer thathow transaction costposed by governmentm ight lead to the service failure by investigating the community care station in Tainan city.In regard tomethodology,23 community care stations sampled to representall stations in Tainan area and both questionnaire and in-deep interview are applied to collection data.The finding indicates thatone-way communication between the governmentand station,government staff turnover,and the annual assessment for stations aremain factors to impact on the effectiveness of the community care station.Thus,in order to reach the goal of effective PPP in service delivery,it can be argued that the transaction cost posed by the governmentand by the firm should pay equalattention to evaluateandmanagewell.
