I would like to refer you all to an article which looks at evaluating
community capacity - slightly different then the question posed. The
article focuses on two approaches used to assess community capacity -
one approach is the spider web and the other looks at domains.  

Giibbon M, Labonte R, Laverack G. 2002. "Evaluating community capacity"
in Health and Social Care in the Community, 10(6) 485-491.

I hope this is useful.

Subject: Re: tools to evaluate participation in community groups

I have been following the discussion of the Rifkin (and other) materials
with great interest; though to my great disappointment I could not
immediately find an electronic version of the 1988 Rifkin article,
though not all avenues exhausted.  I concur with Alison's recent thanks;
we forget good old tools in the search the the next new thing.  It
sounds from previous users as though this might be something useful to
my work.

I am most appreciative to Alison for having included the direct link to
a specific resource - I'd like to suggest that such a link is much more
helpful than one that takes me to a web site where I have to hunt over,
around and through to see if I can track down the specific document (it
might be great but our time as we know is limited!)

I have run across two other resources and wonder if anyone has seen or
used them to judge value:

Hugh Annett and Susan B. Rifkin (1995) Guidelines for rapid
participatory appraisals to assess community health needs : a focus on
health improvements for low-income urban and rural areas.  World Health
Organization Susan B. Rifkin and Pat Pridmore (2001) Partners in
planning :
information, participation and empowerment.  Macmillan Trish Paton
