본 연구는 여러 사회복지조직들이 연대성을 가지고 지역사회 차원의 사업을 구현해 낼 때 활동의 정체성과 방향을 설정하기 위하여 참여주체들이 기대하고 있는 성과를 어떻게 인식하고 있는지를 알아보기 위해 컨셉트 맵핑 활용에 대한 문헌고찰을 시도한다. 컨셉트 맵핑은 복잡하고 추상적인 아이디어를 개념화하는 의사결정방법이다. 이 방법을 활용하면 참여한 조직들의 개별적인 이해와 목적을 체계화시켜 합의된 성과를 도출해 내는데 유용할 수 있다. 컨셉트 맵핑을 활용한 의사결정과정에서 참여자들의 의견이 소외되지 않고 모두 채택되도록 하는 시스템 운용이 가능하며, 그로 인해 다양한 조직의 참여를 극대화 할 수 있다. 궁극적으로 사회복지조직의 성과에 대한 합의도출이 신속히 이루어지고 이후 활동에 대한 방향성도 명확하게 설정될 수 있는 것이다.
