This book details a systemic approach to the practice of sustainable community development. It takes the reader step-by-step through a community development procedure that includes processes of community assessment, visioning, setting of goals and objectives, and defining strategic actions to achieve the measured outcome of community sustainability. Through application of the tools and strategies discussed, community members are able to recognize the bigger picture: that nature and people are inescapably under the influence of one another.
