By trying to understand the perspective of community members who are resistant to change.Thus, giving insight to their fears and concerns on the impact of the change. This can give understanding to the needs of the resistant community members giving allowance to dialogue and community engagement. The resistant community members can further be persuaded to change by showing them respect and giving respect to their beliefs.Therefore motivate rapports with the community and encourage a work collaboration ?that is sensitive to the needs of the community. By understanding the perspective of resistant community members, projects and programs can therefore be designed in respect to the multi-culture of the community.

Your members need to see clear value that community and its activities provide (especially if it's a paid community/activity). Focus on understanding their perspective and concerns. People often resist because they feel unheard or have had negative past experiences. Ask questions like "What would you like to see happen in our community?" and "What concerns do you have about current initiatives?" Build trust gradually through consistent follow-through on small commitments before asking for bigger involvement. When community members see that their input leads to concrete actions, they're more likely to engage further.

I think it depends on the kind of community in context. If it's a community that is made up of people of wildly different beliefs and they are bound together only by location, it is important to note that the purpose of a dialogue with them is peaceful coexistence not conversation. So, it may be important to keep trying to understand their primary view points and address their concerns in ways that would make them feel heard. This can work for other kinds of communities too but I thought to add my voice in that aspect. Thank you!
