Planning has become a hallmark of this era, adopted by all societies in every aspect of life. An individual plans for themselves to achieve their short-term and long-term goals, to realize their current and future ambitions, and to face daily and anticipated problems by following a planning approach based on science, thought, and the selection of optimal steps, processes, and procedures to achieve their desired objective.

Recently, planning has become the key to a successful future and the achievement of goals in societies and nations, regardless of their political systems, addressing the various problems and obstacles they face on their path to a better standard, whether they are developed or developing.

Social planning is founded on the social philosophy of a community, which makes its scope more comprehensive and expansive, encompassing various types of planning such as health, economic, educational, and urban planning, among other forms that cover all aspects of human life.

Social planning is a scientific method used by the social work profession to effect intentional social change. It involves a set of procedures that organize the work and is based on technical processes carried out by experts, technicians, and social planners in collaboration with community members and leaders. This is done through planning bodies at various geographical and functional levels, within the framework of the society's comprehensive development plan and its prevailing ideology.

As a profession, social work relies on social planning as the most suitable means for selecting methods used in professional practice aimed at solving problems and meeting community needs. A social worker, in their work with any professional intervention unit (individual, group, community, organization), requires planning as a scientific method to ensure the success of their professional intervention. For social work students, this provides the knowledge and skill base related to social planning, and we hope this work contributes to achieving that.
