Community Development

Goals | Hazard Mitigation |Committee members

The community and economic development planners at Region Nine believe community is a basic building block of society, and that:

  • Community is complex and multi-dimensional.
  • The human dimension, which is capable of growth and  development, is the most critical aspect of community.
  • Development of each community can be fostered through improvement of individual, organizational and problem-solving knowledge and skills.
  • Adherence to the goals (below) is essential to sound community development.

Those helping to develop and sustain communities must understand a variety of complex and ever-changing systems. The profession of community development integrates knowledge from many disciplines with community development theory, research, teaching and practice; these important and interdependent functions are vital in both the private and public sectors.
