Abstract: This article highlights how social innovation emerged, integrated, and expanded in local community settings. The paper presents findings summarized from a qualitative study of three local initiatives as case studies of social innovation. A “Social Innovation Framework" is subsequently proposed to represent the relationship between the social innovation process and social innovation dynamics. The framework shows that each step in the process leads to changes in the characteristics of the social innovation accordingly in that it makes social innovation more practical and increases the level of the community member's participation.
