In this study of 93 members of neighbourhood committees, from 31 urban, mainly lower-class neighbourhoods in the greater Tel-Aviv area, the roles played by neighbourhood representative organizations, as seen by organization activists, are examined. These roles are divided into expressive and instrumental, and, following Wandersman (1981), their correlations are examined with environmental factors and personal and participational variables of the respondents, and their sense of belonging to the community. Generally theWandersman model fits the data, but the use of the expressiveinstrumental division allows for some refinement and extension, and sheds light on the way community activists see themselves as residents and as parents.
