The document discusses factors that influence the success of post-war reconstruction efforts. It examines case studies of cities that underwent reconstruction after experiencing conflict or disaster. Three key factors are identified. First, reconstruction plans must consider local needs, capacities, and coping mechanisms to be sustainable long-term. Second, the relationship between the coordinating reconstruction agent and the local community impacts success; plans imposed from the outside often fail. Third, the type of conflict experienced relates to residents' preferences for reconstruction; restoring lost heritage can help address psychological impacts of violence. Overall, involving local people and addressing social and political roots of problems leads to more effective postwar recovery.
This document discusses participatory planning, which aims to identify critical problems by involving local community participation as part of the decentralization process. It outlines several key aspects of participatory planning including: identifying community needs, empowering disadvantaged groups, integrating local knowledge, generating political support, and facilitating two-way learning between projects and communities. Methods like rapid rural appraisal and participatory rural appraisal are discussed which emphasize sharing knowledge between external experts and local communities. A step-by-step process for participatory planning is provided that includes identifying needs, assessing resources and problems, formulating project proposals and local plans, and approving plans through an expert committee. Risks and success factors are noted, emphasizing building trust and focusing on

Importance of Public Participation.
Public participation in decision making has evolved over time from Karl Mannheim's initial emphasis on its importance in the 1940s. Advocacy planning involves long, medium, and short term strategies to influence policy and public opinion. In India, constitutional amendments in the 1990s established three-tier rural and urban local self governments to empower communities and ensure participation in planning and development. Current scenarios involve setting up ward committees, strengthening panchayati raj institutions, and some states enacting community participation laws to involve citizens in decision making. Public participation is an important democratic principle that improves decisions, increases support, and empowers communities.
The document provides an overview of the course "Introduction to Urban Planning" including the course objectives, content, and concepts covered. The course aims to equip students with theoretical, methodological and practical skills for urban planning. It will cover topics such as theories of urban form including group form, compositional form and megastructure. It will also cover urban analysis approaches like morphology, typology-morphology and urban tissues. Additionally, it will discuss regional planning concepts and the design of new urban entities.
Policies should be known and understood by all affected parties in writing. They should be stable, consistent across all levels and departments, and sincere in their intentions. Policies also need to be realistic about present conditions, aligned with shared goals, forward-looking, focused on outcomes over methods, and inclusive of different viewpoints. Planning relates to the overall management process of an organization.

The document discusses modernizing measures and instruments for development finance in the post-2015 era. It outlines that development finance is becoming more complex with many sources beyond traditional ODA. The OECD aims to promote transparency, accountability and mobilization of resources through modernizing its statistical framework. Key aspects of modernization agreed at the 2014 OECD DAC High Level Meeting include: measuring ODA loans at grant equivalents, better targeting of ODA to those most in need, and capturing mobilized private finance through Total Official Support for Sustainable Development (TOSSD) statistics.
Public participation refers to involving stakeholders like citizens, community groups, and businesses in decision-making processes that affect them. This can occur at various levels from developing policies and strategies to planning projects. There are different stages of participation ranging from simply informing the public to allowing them to directly influence decisions. Successful participation requires clarifying goals, inviting all affected parties, allocating sufficient time and resources, and making sure participation can actually impact outcomes. Public participation is important for achieving sustainable development and building cooperation between governments and communities.

This document defines diplomacy and discusses its functions, both bilateral and multilateral forms. Diplomacy is the application of intelligence and tact to conduct relations between independent states through official representatives. Its key functions include representing state interests, obtaining and reporting information, policymaking, and providing consular services. The document also outlines legal aspects of diplomacy like immunity, persona non grata status, and asylum. It notes the shift toward more multilateral diplomacy conducted through international organizations and conferences.
The Cold War was the period of tension and conflict between the United States and Soviet Union from 1945-1980. Major crises during this time included the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam War, and construction of the Berlin Wall. Though the US and USSR were allies in World War 2, their relationship was never truly friendly due to deep distrust that existed even before the war. This distrust stemmed from their opposing political ideologies of capitalism versus communism and led to a strategic competition where the two superpowers vied for influence through proxy wars around the world without direct military conflict.

This document discusses the issues and implications of urbanization. It begins by defining urbanization as the process by which cities grow and higher percentages of populations live in cities. Nearly half of all people now live in urban areas for jobs, education, and entertainment. However, rapid urbanization in developing countries is causing socioeconomic problems like unemployment and poverty due to not enough jobs. It is also causing environmental issues like pollution, flooding, and crime. Politically, urbanization requires better governance and management of resources to deal with these problems. Sustainable development of urban areas will require integration, tackling land use and infrastructure issues, as well as promoting economic growth and green spaces.
Sustainable Urban Planning-Issues and Options JIT KUMAR GUPTA
Urban India remains in crisis- crisis of population; crisis of poverty; crisis of pollution; crisis of unplanned development; crisis of infrastructures; crisis of services; crisis of affordable living. Genesis of all these crisis has roots in approach and options used for development of urban and rural settlements, which is done on different footing with priority going for urban areas .Despite getting major attention, resources, manpower, technology, cities remain in crisis for the reason majority of urban ills have their origin in the neglect of the rural India. If India, as a nation has to move forward, then its emancipation falls within the domain of Rural India, which needs to be made more productive, livable and qualitative duly supported by technology and state of art infrastructures besides making urban and rural India equal partners in all policy planning and programs for development. Regional Planning offers the best option to achieve the objective.
The document discusses the importance of advocacy planning. It notes that advocacy planning is important because it helps: 1) head in the right direction by breaking goals into manageable steps, 2) use scarce resources wisely through strategic choices, and 3) counter any potential opposition. The document also outlines common problems with poor advocacy planning like unclear objectives. Finally, it presents the advocacy planning cycle as a series of logical questions to analyze issues, set goals, develop strategies, and monitor outcomes.

The document discusses the challenges and opportunities of urbanization in the Philippines. It notes that urban areas already account for most of the population and economic output, and these figures are projected to continue growing significantly. However, rapid urbanization also risks exacerbating issues like poverty, unemployment, lack of basic services, and environmental degradation if not properly managed. Key challenges include improving competitiveness and job creation, alleviating urban poverty, strengthening urban governance, expanding access to basic services, and managing environmental and population impacts. Strategic approaches recommended include stakeholder partnerships, city development strategies, inter-local cooperation, and treating cities as interconnected ecosystems.
The Peace of Westphalia established key principles of modern international relations, including recognizing the sovereignty of states and their non-interference in other states' internal affairs. However, critics argue that the Westphalian system was never fully realized in practice and contradictions exist within the treaties. Additionally, modern forces like globalization are challenging the state-based system by increasing interdependence and allowing non-state actors more influence. While the nature of sovereignty has changed, the Peace of Westphalia still provides a foundational model and its core norms like sovereign equality remain relevant today despite evolution of the international system.
History & Theory of Planning: Postmodern Critiques of ModernismAnuradha Mukherji
Urban renewal and freeway construction in the mid-20th century displaced many inner-city communities and concentrated poverty. Federal programs subsidized suburban development at the expense of cities. Pruitt-Igoe, a St. Louis public housing project, exemplified the failures of top-down modernist planning and strict cost-cutting that ignored community needs. Jane Jacobs criticized such programs' negative impacts and lack of understanding of urban economies and lived experiences. Later reforms decentralized control and funding to local governments.
The document discusses strategic planning and development in third world countries during the 1950s-1960s. It focuses on the Philippines' experience with national socioeconomic planning. During this period, third world countries adopted development planning to address issues like poverty, promote national cohesion, and play a coordinating role in government. The Philippines engaged in various national development plans through agencies like the National Economic Council and the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA). It also implemented regionalization policies and strengthened local government planning structures. Educational planning was also an important part of national development strategies during this era.
1. The document discusses the methodology for city and regional planning, including data gathering, analysis, developing strategies and alternatives, choosing the best alternative, and creating a master plan.
2. The planning process involves problem identification, data gathering on natural features, urban development, and social/economic conditions, analysis of this data, establishing a development strategy, considering alternatives, selecting the best alternative, and creating a detailed master plan.
3. Data gathering covers natural elements like climate, topography, geology, as well as urban elements such as land use, buildings, infrastructure, and social/economic data including demographics and economic activities.
Economic diplomacy involves countries pursuing their national economic interests through trade and investment with other countries on a bilateral, regional, and multilateral level. It is practiced through commercial diplomacy that uses political influence to facilitate international trade, structural agreements between countries, and international organizations. Economic diplomacy functions through relationships between countries, regional organizations, and multilateral groups like the World Trade Organization. It is an important tool for developing cooperation between countries and regions globally.
This portfolio reflects Anna Koledova's work applying concepts of urban design and development to proposals upgrading urban areas. It includes analyses of social constructs and generational differences in community spaces in the Philippines, a market development intervention in West Habog, and collaborative strategies for slum upgrading in Thailand. Case studies examined include neighborhoods in North Woolwich, London and five sites in southern Thailand.

town planning on SlideShare, one of the lecture of town planningZubairRahoojo
Town planning is the process of managing land resources and controlling existing and new developments to ensure future requirements are met. It involves analyzing social, economic, and physical characteristics of an area to establish development objectives and coordinate land use with infrastructure. The goals of town planning include removing slums, providing housing and basic services, organizing transportation and communication, allocating space for industry, parks, and public facilities, and arranging for education, health services, and sanitation. As urban populations grow rapidly, town planners must create sustainable and resilient communities that accommodate diverse human needs.

Community BIM aims to engage stakeholders affected by construction projects from the beginning of the design process. It shares socioeconomic and local knowledge to influence decision making. There are three levels that increase integration of community engagement and demographic data into the project planning and modeling. Using Community BIM can help gain community support for projects, address local issues, and create benefits for the community. Three scenarios describe how Community BIM could help address community concerns for a new housing development, a large retail project, and upgrades to a local sports facility.
This document presents an action agenda for historic preservation in legacy cities with 9 action items organized under 3 themes:
1) Shape a new approach to preservation in legacy cities by recognizing unique challenges, engaging communities, and using data.
2) Adapt preservation tools and policies to meet legacy city needs through creating toolkits, developing financing, reforming policies, and aligning federal programs.
3) Support place-based collaboration by building local coalitions and participating in discussions among legacy city organizations. The agenda calls for pragmatic preservation priorities in legacy cities facing challenges such as weak real estate markets, abandonment, and limited resources.
Urban renewal is a program of redeveloping dense urban areas that have fallen into disrepair. It typically involves demolishing dilapidated structures, relocating businesses and residents, and redeveloping the land for new uses. While early programs focused on slum clearance, urban renewal now emphasizes renovation over destruction and aims to revitalize neighborhoods and downtown areas through investments and public-private partnerships. It plays an important role in addressing problems like inadequate housing, environmental degradation, and traffic issues that are common in aging urban cores.
This document discusses the importance of context in design projects. It defines context as the character and setting of the area, including natural resources, communities, connections, and more. Understanding context involves considering local views, history, stakeholders, policies, and more. It is important for designers to strengthen communities, create distinctive places, harness site assets, integrate with surroundings, ensure feasibility, and provide vision. A thorough investigation of a site's context should lead to a design that integrates needs, identifies opportunities, and recognizes limitations. Understanding context is key to developing an appropriate vision and strategic options for a project.
Local Agenda 21 is a voluntary action plan developed by the UN to promote sustainable development globally and locally. It defines sustainable development as reforming economic systems to avoid damaging ecological and community systems. The document outlines elements of sustainable development planning including community-based issue analysis, action planning with goals and targets, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and feedback to continually improve plans based on progress. The overall approach aims to broaden municipal planning considerations and engage stakeholders through participatory processes to address sustainability challenges at the local level consistent with Agenda 21.

Urban planning was originally conceived as a technical endeavor to address challenges from urbanization and industrialization. It aimed to apply scientific knowledge and rational planning to improve quality of life in cities. Specifically, urban planning adopted a physical and design-focused approach from the Enlightenment era through the 1960s, seeking to regulate land use and urban form for public health and welfare.

Advancing Inclusive and Sustainable Urban Development: Correcting Planning Fa...Jonathan Dunnemann
Tackling urban poverty and attending to its spatial manifestations is vitally important to national economic and social development. From a low of an estimated 28 percent of
the population in Latin America to a high of 76 percent in South Asia, the urban poor constitute both an enormous challenge and an opportunity. The speed with which many
regions of the world are urbanizing, the haphazard spatial development of urban areas, and the deplorable conditions under which more than 800 million slum dwellers live make the need to address urban poverty more urgent than ever. At the same time, government and business leaders are awakening to the potential to advance social and economic development by engaging the urban poor as consumers, producers, assetbuilders,
and entrepreneurs.
Strong Cities Strong Communities Fellowship Program Final Report (1)Cole E Judge
This document provides a final report on the outcomes and impacts of the Strong Cities, Strong Communities (SC2) Fellowship Program from 2012-2014. The program embedded 17 mid-career professionals as fellows in 7 pilot cities - Chester, Cleveland, Detroit, Fresno, Memphis, New Orleans, and Youngstown - to work on projects identified by each city as critical to improving economic opportunity and revitalization. The report outlines the fellowship program components, accomplishments, and highlights the tangible results and accomplishments of the fellows in their host cities, organized under themes such as advancing downtown revitalization, developing workforce pipelines, enhancing community engagement, and fueling new efficiencies in city government.
Urban planning is a technical and political process focused on developing land use and infrastructure in urban areas. It determines how people will live and work in a given area through orderly community development. Urban planning aims to systematically improve decision making and is highly political. Local governments are primarily responsible for urban planning and development in the Philippines according to the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992. Planners come from various backgrounds but most have a master's degree in city or urban planning. They work to anticipate and solve problems in the public interest through advising decision makers. Political awareness and strong communication skills are invaluable traits for planners.

3. Disaster
Whether natural or man-made, is a
process “defined on the basis of its
human consequences, not on the
phenomenon that caused it” and
should be measured by relief
agencies in terms of psychological,
physical, and economic disruption.

5. Reconstruction as Part of Development Continuum
Recovery process
➢ Emergency phase devoted to rescue, assessment, and critical repairs to
the infrastructure;
➢ Transitional phase is when residents return to normal patterns of work and
social relations while permanent repairs to public utilities are undertaken;
➢ Reconstruction phase during which the final reordering of the community
and its environment is conceived and accomplished.
6. Reconstruction Economics Tied to Political Incentives
Propaganda is the instrument of this promotion, and recovery projects that have
benefited from media attention are generally more successful than those that do
not. The project’s eventual success can be ascribed to the powers of effective
postwar promotion of the city as a national symbol of hope, pride, camaraderie,
etc.
Foreign interest in the recovery of a community decrease as it enters into the
later stages of reconstruction, putting the implementation of long-term solution
constantly out of reach of the NGO’s active there.
The infusions of foreign aid can have numerous unintended negative
impacts: fostering of unequal or negative growth; exacerbation of
competition in an environment of acute scarcity; abrupt shifts in local
income and wealth; increasing resources available to continue the
conflict; discouraging local organizations.
7. Retention v. Upgrade
After the war on some country few enlightened spirits try to conserve the
testimonies of an immense artistic heritage was replaced by the anguish of the
common people when they saw not only their often modest homes, but also
their spiritual and cultural patrimony destroyed.
Function-oriented goals of urban renewal frequently competed with the public’s
desire for restitution of cherished scales, monuments, and details.
In some cases the recovery schemes that advocated total dislocation and
severance with the past: abandoning the bombed sites, plowing over the
rubble, and starting new cities elsewhere. Post-war reconstruction is often
fraught with tension between popular nostalgia and professional ambition.
8. Utilization of local coping mechanisms
The most successful post disaster plans are centered on local human needs and
engineered according to local capacities in order to sustain long-term progress.
Isolated restoration projects undertaken by foreign agencies that do not
strengthen local self-reliance are frequently counter-productive, and foreign aid
not used to leverage other funds or rebuild regional revenue-producing activity
yields disappointing results.
An overarching rules for post-disaster interventions:
• Repair local systems first, and allow these to sustain long-term reconstruction.
• The health of communities, social functions, political mechanisms, and
industries should be attended to before individual sites are addressed.
• Systems approach avoids idiosyncratic and uncoordinated projects which
squander resources and undermine public confidence in the recovery process.
9. Adequate Access to Information & Resources
There is a chronic lack of research to facilitate change and improvement in the
post-conflict relief system; studies tend to be overly technical, segmented, and
short term. Results are rarely placed in a standard framework that would allow
for translation from one post-war scenario to another.
Most studies fail to discuss the social and political conditions leading up to the
disaster event and thereby forfeit critical insights which might inform the
recovery process. Longitudinal studies are rare due to the impatience of
researchers and the logistic difficulties of organizing such work.
The availability of money, materials, and labor is central to successful
revitalization. Availability is rarely an issue in the context of peace and political
stability, but numerous challenges arise in the aftermath of war for the officials
managing recovery.
10. Case study
Successful short-term responses to post-war
recovery needs do not always translate into
successful long-term development strategies.

Coventry
During the 1930s Coventry prospered along with the automotive industry,
but its rapid expansion during this period resulted in traffic congestion
and urban blight in the commercial core.
The urban renewal scheme planed on Modernist principles that stressed,
order, separation of civic functions, hygiene, and a self-conscious break
with historic building strategies.
Those promises were only partly kept then the residents of Coventry
were able to take a closer look at the forthcoming changes and
discovered that not all of them were welcome. many familiar landmarks
and streets had disappeared and were not to be restored.
The new Coventry that emerged brought many disappointments, as pre-
war residents felt their disorientation deepened and lamented the loss of
familiar, salvageable structures that did not fit modernized zoning
requirements or aesthetic criteria.

Coventry demonstrates how popular reconstruction plans, when
generated quickly by a small number of like-minded professionals in
the absence of significant public consultation, can backfire
The Coventry scheme seems to have failed simultaneously in several
ways:
• It was grounded on assumptions about the city’s growth and the
social behavior of its residents that were not reliable
• It buried a past that still had psychological value to local
communities
• It imposed a highly integrated urban aesthetic that owed more to
fashion than to pragmatism.
While early phases of reconstruction planning played effectively upon
the intensified emotional climate of the immediate post-war period,
gaining support from all quarters, the late phases of implementation
were often met with skepticism and disappointment.

Dubrovnik
The case of post-war reconstruction Dubrovnik is in many ways much
more straightforward than the Coventry example.
The reconstruction process in Dubrovnik was the inverse of what
transpired in Coventry 50 years prior. The early stages in Dubrovnik were
uncoordinated, week, underfunded, and undertaken outside of any
master planning framework but the later stages demonstrated it the value
of local initiative and competence that grew during those first difficult
years following the cessation of hostilities.
The reconstruction budget is bound to forces which cannot be easily
predicted or controlled. Recovery funding beyond the emergency phase
should be centered around a system of self-sustaining income managed
on the local level; in the case of Dubrovnik, the obvious generators are
real estate and small-scale tourism.

This slower and halting process they have generated superior
results when compared to the highly conceptual and
bureaucratized approaches used in places like Coventry.
Dubrovnik demonstrates the value of restoring healthy local
systems in the post-war scenario; though sluggish and ambivalent
foreign donor agencies, by their absence in the immediate postwar
recovery period, did not intend to contribute to these systems, the
long-term benefits of their non-action is now apparent. By design
or by neglect, leaving communities with usable tools and training
may constitute the highest form of external assistance.
15. Case study
Effectiveness of post-war reconstruction depends on
the coordinating agent’s relationship to the
problems and local community.

Beirut
The creation of Solidere’s as a guiding force for post-war urban
reconstruction marked a symbolic abandonment of government
agencies in favor of private enterprise. by attracted the best
professional talent, foreign and native, to the city with a clear set
of objectives, ample funds, and an innovative business model.
Solidere’s achievements from the standpoint of physical
rehabilitation in the central business district are astonishing. New
construction proceeded a rapid rate and in accordance with
exceedingly high standards for design, infrastructure and the
quality of new buildings and public spaces.
When judged according to strictly cosmetic and economic criteria,
and simultaneously limiting our view to the city’s historic core. a
handful of historic landmark buildings have been meticulously
preserved along with the permanent exposure of an
archaeological site.

critics believe that excessive demolition accompanied Solidere’s
renewal scheme in order to meet density and revenue
benchmarks, underscoring the tension built into “the logic of
Solidere’s ” between historic preservation and real estate
development on the open market
Solidere’s leadership contends that they have done Beirut a favor
by improving a downtown area that was, in the aftermath of the
war, “…a slum, a destroyed area with no infrastructure”. Solidere’s
critics meanwhile complained about the unnecessary demolition of
historic fabric that did not meet the high density requirements
specified by Solidere’s as master plan.
According to the absence of the political and social consensus that
is lead to dissatisfied for the local community. by clarified that the
Solidere’s urban revitalization project lacks in terms of social
inclusion and relevance and never can be compensated for in
terms of architectural allure and capital investment

Mostar
The physical destruction or inaccessibility of many schools, offices,
homes, factories, and public infrastructure in Mostar during the
course of hostilities left its citizens in the eastern sector struggling
for survival and economic life in the western sector
Many of the foreign agencies focus their efforts on a highly
emblematic and historic architectural landmarks located within the
Ottoman core. Though a number of rehabilitation projects
undertaken in the historic core addressed structures of secondary
historical importance and primary and functional value--such as
schools, libraries, banks and office buildings--the majority of foreign
investments were poured into highly emblematic and monumental
structures. The natural centerpiece for these efforts was the
facsimile reconstruction of the Old Bridge.
19. CREDITS: This presentation template was created

This was a motivational rather than a functional revitalization strategy,
and it relied heavily on the idea the physical projects can have
edifying social consequences. The product of this strategy in Mostar
was a kind of virtual rather than actual recovery.
In the minds and imaginations of foreign interveners, it is widely
believed that a facsimile reconstruction of the fallen Old Bridge will
heal social wounds by physically reuniting former antagonists and
literally stitching together a divided city.
Some Mostarian’s resent projects that dwell on landmark structures
damaged during periods of conflict, preferring a more pragmatic
approach to reconstruction
The large flows of free foreign capital entered the city, lack of
coordination and control over how it was spent resulted in a
reconstruction process marred by poor integration, superficiality, and
minimal capacity upgrade.
20. Case study
the long-term success of post-war reconstruction
efforts depends on how well they relate to the
type of conflict experienced by local residents.
Warsaw and Belfast

Warsaw
World War II took an especially harsh toll on Warsaw, By 1945, the
capital had been transformed into a moonscape. Polish officials made
an early decision to reconstruct the Old Town as a pre-war facsimile; in
fact, many of their plans called for a return to the nineteenth century
appearance of the historic core.
writer for The Warsaw Escarpment commented:
"If the Warsaw community is to be reborn, if its core is to be constituted
by former Warsawians, then they have to be given back their old rebuilt
Warsaw to some extent, so that they can see in it the same city,
though considerably altered, and not a different town on the same
spot."

The historic quarter was restored and replicated at the
expense of the other sections of the city which were
demolished in advance of large projects tied to the newly
centralized Socialist economy. The values of a reconstruction
patron are inevitably reflected in the character of post-war
reconstruction.
The strength and popularity of the movement to restore the
devastated historic core of Warsaw, may be linked to the
nature of the conflict that wrought destruction in the first place
as kind of group therapy in response to the horrors of the war
and the moral victory enjoyed by the Germans’ former
enemies.

Belfast
for Belfast “The Troubles” began in earnest around 1968. Ethnic
rivalry continues to provoke violence between Protestants and
Catholics and disturb almost every aspect of life in Northern
Ireland.
One urban planner laments the absence of built environment
professionals from major decisions related to the physical partition
of Belfast, where he and his colleagues contributed little to the
problem of ethnic partition despite ample time and opportunity to
design comprehensive strategies:
“So [this is] what has defeated me all the way along the line…I
can’t understand how policymaking and planning have stepped
aside from all this…how all the policy statements have ignored the
conflict.”
24. CREDITS: This presentation template was created

infographics & images by Freepik.
There is a greater degree of conflict between the two ethnic
groups in the working class context…generated by
situations of scarcity and competition particularly in housing
and jobs.
The conflict in Belfast began in 1968 and is ongoing. Under
more normal conditions, the fear and violence shaping daily
life in Belfast would lead to some form of resolution in light
of the insupportable tensions they create. When external
circumstance disallow both cooperation and capitulation as
pragmatic outlets for these tensions.
26. Success Factors for Post-
War Reconstruction
➢ Foreign intervention. intervene without the social and anthropological data
needed to identify the root problem and local coping mechanisms accurately.
➢ Foreign assistance is fraught with risks, limitations, and liabilities and the cost of
failure is high.
➢ Policy makers and field practitioners are reluctant to delves into the more
controversial areas. Unlike the conventional sectors of water, sanitation, health,
shelter, and food relief, these are less quantifiable and their success may not be
readily apparent.
➢ Identification of causes, consequences, and objectives requires a firm
understanding of chronic stresses, patterns of episodic violence, and baseline
conditions before cataclysm.
