Community
Development
Rural and urban communities, in the USA and worldwide, are examining effective ways to control development, prevent urban sprawl, maintain small-town character and neighborhood relationships. Residents are concerned over social, economic and environmental issues and most communities strive to achieve a balance and harmony that raises the human spirit and condition. Ursa provides services to assess the attitudes and readiness of community residents for development options which promote conservation of natural and cultural resources, while still providing economic and educational opportunities for the community. Participatory meetings are set up with all relevant stakeholder groups, and goals and objectives of a Community Development Master Plan are identified. Individual community residents are brought into the process through workshops and interviews, synthesizing all aspects of the potentials of community development: zoning, design and placement of infrastructures, training, marketing, and future monitoring indicators. Responses and concerns are consolidated into concrete objectives and action plans by participants. Projects Rural Ecotourism Assessment Program (REAP) Cohesive
