Community wellbeing (economic, social, environmental and cultural) often evolves from this type of collective action being taken at a grassroots level. Community development ranges from small initiatives within a small group to large initiatives that involve the broader community. Community Development Corporations typically engage communities around these efforts. Characteristics of Community Development Effective community development should be: long-term, sustained efforts, well-planned, inclusive and equitable, holistic and integrated into the bigger picture, initiated and supported by community members, of benefit to the community, grounded in experience that leads to best practices. Community Development Goals Community development is a grassroots process by which communities: become more responsible, organize and plan together, acquire knowledge and skills, create employment and economic opportunities, achieve social, economic, cultural, educational, wellness, and environmental goals. Quality of Life Community development seeks to improve quality of life. Effective community development results in mutual benefit and shared responsibility among community members. Such development recognizes: the connection between social, cultural, environmental and economic matters, the diversity of interests within a community, its relationship to building capacity. Community Capacity Community development helps to build community capacity in order to address issues and take advantage of opportunities, find common ground and balance competing interests. When communities are well organized, inclusive, influential and cohesive, they create a positive environment for people to enjoy a good quality of life. If communities are to be fully engaged in discussions, decisions and actions around needs and problems, they need to have the ability to work on equal terms with service planners and providers. If communities are to benefit from owning assets such as land, buildings, services and energy, they must have the capacity to manage and develop them. What is Community? Often when we think of community, we think in geographic terms. Our community .

What is Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) .docx
What is Asset Based Community Development (ABCD)
Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is a strategy for sustainable community-
driven development. Beyond the mobilization of a particular community, ABCD is concerned
with how to link micro-assets to the macro-environment. The appeal of ABCD lies in its
premise that communities can drive the development process themselves by identifying and
mobilizing existing, but often unrecognized assets, and thereby responding to and creating
local economic opportunity.
ABCD builds on the assets that are already found in the community and mobilizes
individuals, associations, and institutions to come together to build on their assets-- not
concentrate on their needs. An extensive period of time is spent in identifying the assets of
individuals, associations, and then institutions before they are mobilized to work together to
build on the identified assets of all involved. Then the identified assets from an individual are
matched with people or groups who have an interest or need in that asset. The key is to
begin to use what is already in the community.
In the past when a person had a need they went to their neighborhood for assistance. But
this has shifted today to the belief that the neighbor does not have the skills to help them,
therefore we must go to a professional for assistance.
The Welfare system today works in such a way that professionals have made clients and
recipients of the poor, robbing them of the support from their neighbors who now think that
they are not skilled enough to help. This leads to isolation of the individuals. The poor begin
to see themselves as people with special needs that can only be met by outsiders, but this
can be changed through the ABCD process.
A second power of ABCD is found in the local associations who should drive the community
development process and leverage additional support and entitlements. These associations
are the vehicles through which all a community's assets can be identified and then
connected to another in ways that multiply their power and effectiveness. Users of the ABCD
approach are deliberate in their intentions to lead by stepping back. Existing associations
and networks (whether formal or informal) are assumed to be the source of constructive
energy in the community. Community-driven development is done rather than development
driven by external agencies.
ABCD draws out strengths and successes in a community's shared history as its starting
point for change. Among all the assets that exist in the community, ABCD pays particular
attention to the assets inherent in social relationships, as evident in formal and informal
associations and networks.
ABCD's community-driven approach is in keeping with the principles and practice of
participatory approaches development, where active participation and empowerment (and
the prevention of disempowerment) are the basis of practice. It is a strat ...

There is no standard definition of community economic development (CED). From theoretical and practical perspectives, CED has been commonly described as a quintessentially local project, one in which communities reconstruct dysfunctional markets as a way of reconstituting social relations and building political strength. As social policy, CED emphasizes local participation in the design and implementation of affordable housing, job creation, and financing programs. Regardless of its characterizations, the modern CED movement is making strides to revitalize both urban and rural communities. Significantly, community lawyers and others specializing in CED have worked in partnership with community organizers and other advocates. The Civil Rights era, from the 1950s to the 1970s, is another important juncture in the CED movement. Community organizations and community development corporations act as financial intermediaries, providing technical assistance to local entrepreneurs and developing shopping centers, supermarkets, and other real estate projects. The history of CED is the history of social movements.

Duncan Nantucket ABCD Healthy Community Collaborative presentatiion
This document summarizes an asset-based community development workshop held on April 24-25, 2012. It discusses key principles of asset-based community development including focusing on community assets and resources rather than needs, empowering community members, and engaging residents as co-producers of community well-being rather than just clients or recipients of services. The document provides examples of asset mapping and strategies for identifying and mobilizing community talents, skills, and passions to address local issues. It emphasizes that strong communities are built through resident engagement and that institutions should serve to support community action.
Community Driven Developement : Asset Based Develpement as Method
The document discusses asset-based community development (ABCD) and provides an overview of its key principles and methodology.
1. ABCD focuses on identifying and mobilizing a community's existing assets, skills, and capacities rather than its needs and problems. This asset-based approach aims to empower communities and encourage self-reliance.
2. The methodology involves mapping community assets such as individual skills, associations, institutions, physical resources, and connections. This asset mapping helps communities recognize their strengths and mobilize around shared interests.
3. ABCD aims to shift the orientation of community development from a needs-based to an asset-based approach. Rather than creating a "problems map," ABCD helps communities develop
Asset Based Community Develpement :Towards a Sustainable Approach.
Asset-based community development (ABCD) focuses on community strengths rather than needs. ABCD identifies five key community asset categories: individuals, associations, institutions, physical assets, and connections between people. Mapping these assets helps communities recognize their inherent capacities and mobilize for change by building on existing skills and resources. Traditional needs-based approaches risk disempowering communities by focusing only on deficiencies. In contrast, ABCD starts from an asset perspective, believing communities can best create positive change by recognizing their inherent strengths.
Life City2
This document outlines a proposal to create a website called LifeCity that teaches about interdependence and sustainability. The three main goals are: 1) Teach about interdependence and how individual and community needs are met through shared resources that also create waste; 2) Help cities and communities close resource loops and eliminate waste through sustainable practices; 3) Promote information equity and computer access to support sustainability solutions. Next steps include partnering locally, developing a prototype website, recruiting experts, and researching grant opportunities.
UNIT III-Business-and-Society.pptx
Traditionally, the term business commonly referred to commercial activities aimed at makinga profit or to organisations formed to make a profit. Indeed, in the past, economic theory madea fundamental assumption that profit maximisation was the basic objective of every firm. Themodern outlook, however, is different. For them, profit is only secondary. There are, moreover,
many organisations, both private and public, which do not aim at profit from their business.
In short, the definition of a business as a commercial activity to make a profit or an organisationformed to make a profit is a narrow one. Yet, to a layman, business still means industry andcommerce.
The old concept of business, confining it to commerce and private profit, has undergone aradical change. Today, business is regarded as a social institution forming an integral part of thesocial system. As Davis and Blomstorm observe, business is “social institution, performing a social mission and having a broad influence on the way people live and work together.”1 As Calkinsremarks: “It is now recognised that the direction of business is important to the public welfare,that businessmen perform a social function.”2
Thus, “viewed in a broad way, the term business typically refers to the development andprocessing of economic values in society. Normally, we use the term to apply to the private (nongovernment)portion of the economy whose primary purpose is to provide goods and services tocustomers at a price, but the lines of distinction are getting hazy as business and government overlap their functions in organisations such as the Communications, Satellite Corporation and
the Tennessee Valley Authority. In addition, business is a term applied to economic and commercial activities of institutions having other purposes, such as the business office of an opera association.
Thus, organisations which do not aim of making a profit, like the Delhi Development Authority,charitable hospitals, or other institutions, public relations organisations, government departments,etc., invest capital, price and market their products, services or ideas, manage their human
resources, and so on.According to Davis and Blomstorm, “our modern view of society is an ecological one.
Ecology is concerned with the mutual relations of human populations or systems with their
environment. It is necessary to take this broad view because the influence and involvement of
business are extensive. Business cannot isolate itself from the rest of society. Today, the whole
society is a business’s environment
Davis and Blomstorm point out that, in taking an ecological view of business in a systemrelationship with society, three ideas are significant in addition to the systems idea. The three ideas are values, viability and public visibility
Values
Business, like other social institutions, develops certain belief systems and values for whichthey stand, and these beliefs, and values are a source of institutional drive. These values deriv

Tayyab ameen social entreprenuer
This document discusses how social entrepreneurship can help structurally change rural areas. It reviews literature showing that social entrepreneurship has helped bring improvements to rural communities like new technologies for electricity access, water systems, and transportation infrastructure. Social entrepreneurship aims to enhance rural development by addressing issues like poverty, lack of education, unemployment, and income inequality faced by rural populations. It can help realize changes in rural people's attitudes and overall quality of life, not just economic outputs. The document examines the interactions between social entrepreneurs and rural communities to understand how social entrepreneurship impacts rural development.
Corporate social responsibility
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to activities that demonstrate a business's commitment to operating in an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable manner. CSR involves businesses self-regulating their operations to ensure compliance with ethical and social standards. CSR policies aim to have a positive impact on stakeholders such as employees, customers, communities, and the environment. Critics argue that CSR contradicts the purpose of business to maximize profits, while proponents assert that CSR can improve long-term profitability by reducing risks and strengthening brand reputation.

Introduction
In many communities across the country, it
is not uncommon for local leaders and citi-
zens to assemble together to try to make their
community an even better place in which to
live. Unfortunately, the beginning point for
these discussions usually is focused on the var-
ious problems and concerns existing in the
community. In some cases, these community
groups seek the advice of friends and neigh-
bors as to what they feel are the major prob-
lems. In other instances, elaborate community-
wide surveys are conducted of local residents
seeking their input on various topics.
In the end, what is produced is a laundry
list of all the problems being experienced by
residents of these communities. The list might
include concerns with the local school system,
the lack of health services, transportation
problems, inadequate child care services, limit-
ed availability of jobs that pay a decent wage,
or the lack of good recreation programs for
children. No matter what community you are
talking about, or how big or small the com-
munity might be in terms of population, com-
munity groups that begin taking a hard look
at their community by first documenting all
of its “problems,” are already starting things
off on the wrong foot.
That’s not to suggest that communities
should try to sweep all their problems under
the rug. What it does indicate is the best way
to effectively address the challenges that face
communities is to have a good knowledge of
the resources available to work on local issues.
So, an important beginning point involves
mapping the assets of the community — the
skills and talents of local residents, as well as
the capabilities available or possible through
local organizations and institutions. Collect-
ively, these resources offer the wherewithal to
address the host of important issues impac ...

But broadly speaking -- how does all of this work? What are the overarching strategies that work to improve our communities? Why do some grassroots organizations fail, while others do great things and flourish?
Throughout the Tool Box, we offer many suggestions of what we feel are "right" ways to approach community work, such as
Our Model of Practice: Building Capacity for Community and System Change
. Our belief in the equality of all people, for instance, or in the importance of individuals' efforts to improve their communities -- are not topics of specific sections, but make up the foundation of what we do. These beliefs and ideas are at the base of all of our work at the Community Tool Box.
One such idea is that of community organization -- the idea that people can and should come together to talk about what matters to them, and then work together to successfully change their communities. As this idea is a common thread woven throughout our work, we'd like to use this chapter to make it explicit, and try to explore it more fully.
So, then, on the following few screens (and in the next few sections) we'll do just that. In the remainder of this section, we'll give a general overview of community organization -- what it is and how you do it. We'll also give brief explanations of different ways of looking at community organization. Although all of the strategies we will discuss have quite a bit in common, it may be helpful to separate out and compare different approaches in order for us to look more clearly at our work.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ORGANIZE FOR COMMUNITY CHANGE?
Community organizing is the process by which people come together to identify common problems or goals, mobilize resources, and, in other ways, develop and implement strategies for reaching the objectives they want to accomplish.
As you can see, it's a big idea -- it's really a way of looking at all of the work that we do. Because of that, it encompasses many of the other ideas discussed in the Tool Box. For example, effective community organization will generally include:
Gaining an understanding of the community.
The first key step is learning what the community is like, and what is important to its residents.
Generating and using power
. There are many types of power; depending on the nature of your organization and your long term goals, your organization may have (or need) different types. Different kinds of power include:
Political or legislative power
-- for example, you could work to pass laws to make it more difficult for young people to get hold of alcohol.
Community Development Essay
The document discusses Catherine Carlin's community development assignment exploring various theories, concepts, legislation, values, principles, ethics and practice application regarding community development. It analyzes the differences between community, community work and community development, and how Northern Ireland has become a more diverse community. The assignment also covers analyzing community strengths, needs and assets as well as stakeholder participation.
United Smart Cities
This document discusses the concept of "positive system disruption" and how United Smart Cities aims to be a positive system disruptor. It summarizes the theory of system disruption put forth by Jeffrey C. Walker, which argues that persistent social problems remain due to a lack of systemic change. United Smart Cities brings together city governments, the private sector, and United Nations agencies to find innovative solutions to urban challenges that also address the UN Sustainable Development Goals. By facilitating collaboration and partnerships between these different actors, United Smart Cities aims to disrupt current systems in a way that transforms and scales solutions for cities worldwide.

For this assignment, select
one
of the following options:
Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
(Links to an external site.)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis:
Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between the invading country and the native people? You can select from these examples or choose your own:
- Belgium & Africa
- Britain & India
- Germany & Africa
- France & Africa

Duncan Nantucket ABCD Healthy Community Collaborative presentatiion
This document summarizes an asset-based community development workshop held on April 24-25, 2012. It discusses key principles of asset-based community development including focusing on community assets and resources rather than needs, empowering community members, and engaging residents as co-producers of community well-being rather than just clients or recipients of services. The document provides examples of asset mapping and strategies for identifying and mobilizing community talents, skills, and passions to address local issues. It emphasizes that strong communities are built through resident engagement and that institutions should serve to support community action.
Community Driven Developement : Asset Based Develpement as Method
The document discusses asset-based community development (ABCD) and provides an overview of its key principles and methodology.
1. ABCD focuses on identifying and mobilizing a community's existing assets, skills, and capacities rather than its needs and problems. This asset-based approach aims to empower communities and encourage self-reliance.
2. The methodology involves mapping community assets such as individual skills, associations, institutions, physical resources, and connections. This asset mapping helps communities recognize their strengths and mobilize around shared interests.
3. ABCD aims to shift the orientation of community development from a needs-based to an asset-based approach. Rather than creating a "problems map," ABCD helps communities develop
Asset Based Community Develpement :Towards a Sustainable Approach.
Asset-based community development (ABCD) focuses on community strengths rather than needs. ABCD identifies five key community asset categories: individuals, associations, institutions, physical assets, and connections between people. Mapping these assets helps communities recognize their inherent capacities and mobilize for change by building on existing skills and resources. Traditional needs-based approaches risk disempowering communities by focusing only on deficiencies. In contrast, ABCD starts from an asset perspective, believing communities can best create positive change by recognizing their inherent strengths.
Life City2

The three main goals are: 1) Teach about interdependence and how individual and community needs are met through shared resources that also create waste; 2) Help cities and communities close resource loops and eliminate waste through sustainable practices; 3) Promote information equity and computer access to support sustainability solutions. Next steps include partnering locally, developing a prototype website, recruiting experts, and researching grant opportunities.
UNIT III-Business-and-Society.pptx
Traditionally, the term business commonly referred to commercial activities aimed at makinga profit or to organisations formed to make a profit. Indeed, in the past, economic theory madea fundamental assumption that profit maximisation was the basic objective of every firm. Themodern outlook, however, is different. For them, profit is only secondary. There are, moreover,
many organisations, both private and public, which do not aim at profit from their business.
In short, the definition of a business as a commercial activity to make a profit or an organisationformed to make a profit is a narrow one. Yet, to a layman, business still means industry andcommerce.
The old concept of business, confining it to commerce and private profit, has undergone aradical change. Today, business is regarded as a social institution forming an integral part of thesocial system. As Davis and Blomstorm observe, business is “social institution, performing a social mission and having a broad influence on the way people live and work together.”1 As Calkinsremarks: “It is now recognised that the direction of business is important to the public welfare,that businessmen perform a social function.”2
Thus, “viewed in a broad way, the term business typically refers to the development andprocessing of economic values in society. Normally, we use the term to apply to the private (nongovernment)portion of the economy whose primary purpose is to provide goods and services tocustomers at a price, but the lines of distinction are getting hazy as business and government overlap their functions in organisations such as the Communications, Satellite Corporation and
the Tennessee Valley Authority. In addition, business is a term applied to economic and commercial activities of institutions having other purposes, such as the business office of an opera association.
Thus, organisations which do not aim of making a profit, like the Delhi Development Authority,charitable hospitals, or other institutions, public relations organisations, government departments,etc., invest capital, price and market their products, services or ideas, manage their human
resources, and so on.According to Davis and Blomstorm, “our modern view of society is an ecological one.
Ecology is concerned with the mutual relations of human populations or systems with their
environment. It is necessary to take this broad view because the influence and involvement of
business are extensive. Business cannot isolate itself from the rest of society. Today, the whole
society is a business’s environment
Davis and Blomstorm point out that, in taking an ecological view of business in a systemrelationship with society, three ideas are significant in addition to the systems idea. The three ideas are values, viability and public visibility
Values
Business, like other social institutions, develops certain belief systems and values for whichthey stand, and these beliefs, and values are a source of institutional drive. These values deriv

This document discusses how social entrepreneurship can help structurally change rural areas. It reviews literature showing that social entrepreneurship has helped bring improvements to rural communities like new technologies for electricity access, water systems, and transportation infrastructure. Social entrepreneurship aims to enhance rural development by addressing issues like poverty, lack of education, unemployment, and income inequality faced by rural populations. It can help realize changes in rural people's attitudes and overall quality of life, not just economic outputs. The document examines the interactions between social entrepreneurs and rural communities to understand how social entrepreneurship impacts rural development.
Corporate social responsibility
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to activities that demonstrate a business's commitment to operating in an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable manner. CSR involves businesses self-regulating their operations to ensure compliance with ethical and social standards. CSR policies aim to have a positive impact on stakeholders such as employees, customers, communities, and the environment. Critics argue that CSR contradicts the purpose of business to maximize profits, while proponents assert that CSR can improve long-term profitability by reducing risks and strengthening brand reputation.

Introduction
In many communities across the country, it
is not uncommon for local leaders and citi-
zens to assemble together to try to make their
community an even better place in which to
live. Unfortunately, the beginning point for
these discussions usually is focused on the var-
ious problems and concerns existing in the
community. In some cases, these community
groups seek the advice of friends and neigh-
bors as to what they feel are the major prob-
lems. In other instances, elaborate community-
wide surveys are conducted of local residents
seeking their input on various topics.
In the end, what is produced is a laundry
list of all the problems being experienced by
residents of these communities. The list might
include concerns with the local school system,
the lack of health services, transportation
problems, inadequate child care services, limit-
ed availability of jobs that pay a decent wage,
or the lack of good recreation programs for
children. No matter what community you are
talking about, or how big or small the com-
munity might be in terms of population, com-
munity groups that begin taking a hard look
at their community by first documenting all
of its “problems,” are already starting things
off on the wrong foot.
That’s not to suggest that communities
should try to sweep all their problems under
the rug. What it does indicate is the best way
to effectively address the challenges that face
communities is to have a good knowledge of
the resources available to work on local issues.
So, an important beginning point involves
mapping the assets of the community — the
skills and talents of local residents, as well as
the capabilities available or possible through
local organizations and institutions. Collect-
ively, these resources offer the wherewithal to
address the host of important issues impac ...

InstructionsFinancial challenges associated with changes.docx
Instructions
Financial challenges associated with changes to how healthcare organizations are reimbursed for healthcare services, the cost of implementing new technology and professionals to comply with federal requirements for electronic health records, and the increasing numbers of individuals who cannot pay for their healthcare represent only one issue for healthcare executives in the healthcare delivery system. But it has significant consequences for the viability and solvency of healthcare organizations. Healthcare executives don’t have a crystal ball; however, they do engage in forecasting the future based on what is currently known and examination of trends (Lee, 2015). To do this type of forecasting, healthcare executives are demonstrating techniques found in anticipatory management. According to their seminal research, Ashley and Morrison (1997) reported there are severe consequences for not anticipating future trends in a rapidly changing and complex society. The anticipatory management process they describe begins with scanning the environment to identify issues; creating issues briefs to inform stakeholders; prioritizing issues; assembling the team of experts; creating, implementing, and evaluating action plans and outcomes; and adjusting the course when necessary.
Last week, you compared healthcare delivery and costs in the United States with those in developed countries. This week, you will focus U.S. healthcare executives and how they prioritize the challenges confronting them to minimize the impact to their organizations.
As you prepare your assignment, consider these questions:
What challenges you have experienced in the healthcare workplace or when you have accessed your own healthcare provider?
Have you observed changes to how your personal health information is gathered and documented?
What technology is now being used which may be new to your workplace?
Were you required to take additional training in your current healthcare position due to the implementation of new technology?
Have you experienced a shortage of healthcare personnel in your workplace or at your healthcare provider’s office?
What effect have these situations had on you as the employee and patient?
After your examination of current literature on the trends, issues, and challenges for healthcare executives and their organization's review Ashley and Morrison’s seminal article (1997) on anticipatory management and utilize the sample chart shown for this assignment.
You may recreate this four-column table in a Word document and insert your issues/trends, identify which organizational area is/will be impacted by each issue/trend, and provide your rationale for the priority level you assigned each issue/trend. Be sure to use a title page for this assignment and a reference page in APA format. You will add rows to your tabl.

InstructionsDevelop an iconographic essay. Select a work fro.docx
Instructions
Develop an iconographic essay. Select a work from this module to write the essay on. Utilize the objectives and above information to develop the statement. The essay must include a thesis statement/introduction, supporting body, and conclusion. The conclusion should provide a synthesis of the statements and thesis into a final idea about what the audience should remember and take away from the assignment.
List the objects and subjects included in the painting
Provide an iconographic definition (ala dictionary or glossary for each item)
Identify the narrative source for each item (artist invention, poem, narrative, biblical, greco-roman, other presence, real life historical or cultural artifact as symbol, other artworks and ideas as symbols, etc.) (
ex. Alexander the Great as a symbol; American Flag as a symbol; Greek mythology as symbols; The hammer and sickle in Russia, the american eagle, a soldier, etc.)
Is there more than one context for the iconographic or symbolic representation of the idea? How many contexts or roles is each symbolic object fulfilling in presenting, adding, or relaying meaning about the subject; (current age vs. past age; multiple metaphors; multiple layers of ideas etc.)
Symbols and Icons in different contexts - define how the symbols and subjects make one idea serve another idea (A Greek god is rebranded and used in Rome. What does this act mean for Rome to use a Greek Religious concept)
What do the symbols mean in the age, or multiple ages, and how are we supposed to connect to them in the context of the work? - ex. How are greco-roman subject and symbols used and perceived in a Renaissance age? Why would someone in the Renaissance care about Ancient Greco-Roman gods and subjects, what’s in it for a Renaissance Italian or Renaissance Italy for that matter?
Analysis through Iconology
This kind of analysis usually is most useful for narrative works and art before the Modern period. Non-objective art or art with arbitrary subjects (such as DADA) don't work as well with this kind of analysis because narratives and conventional symbols are not a part of these works. Here you will look for a particular element that occurs in the object (an object, action, gesture, pose) and explain either:
when that same element occurs in other objects through history and how this object’s representation of it is unique, or
what that element means generally in art or to art historians—in other words, the traditional association an art historian might make between that depiction and some other thing.
The following video provides an example of Iconological analysis. The video speaks to the meaning of the gestures, iconography, meaning of certain types of depiction, and other narrative imagery and symbolism related to those narrative elements. https://youtu.be/rKhfFBbVtFg
If you are confused, read Erwin Panofsky’s essays on iconology and iconography, in which he defines these terms more extensively. Be w.

InstructionsCommunities do not exist in a bubble. Often changes .docx
Instructions
Communities do not exist in a bubble. Often changes made in the larger society, driven by technology, have an unexpected effect on local communities. Consider the effects of the advancements in transportation technologies on communities. Routes of transportation have evolved from water to train to the road and then to air. Each of these advancements led to job displacement and changes in travel routes. In the United States, prior to the mid-1800s, the communities that thrived had water access and ports where the exchange of goods and services occurred. With the building of the transcontinental railway and the growth of transportation by rail, the communities that thrived had train depots. With the building of major highways in the 1900s, access to those roads became critical to survival. With each advancement, local communities were impacted, such that many communities that grew around train depots became ghost towns full of poverty, homelessness, and despair once train travel was no longer the primary means of human transportation.
In this assignment, you are asked to create a presentation on one of the following topics:
Green Energy
Globalization

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Community wellbeing (economic, social, environmental and cultural) often evolves from this type of collective action being taken at a grassroots level. Community development ranges from small initiatives within a small group to large initiatives that involve the broader community. Community Development Corporations typically engage communities around these efforts.
- 2. Characteristics of Community Development Effective community development should be: long-term, sustained efforts, well-planned, inclusive and equitable, holistic and integrated into the bigger picture, initiated and supported by community members, of benefit to the community, grounded in experience that leads to best practices. Community Development Goals Community development is a grassroots process by which communities: become more responsible, organize and plan together, acquire knowledge and skills, create employment and economic opportunities, achieve social, economic, cultural, educational, wellness, and environmental goals. Quality of Life Community development seeks to improve quality of life. Effective community development results in mutual benefit and shared responsibility among community members. Such development recognizes: the connection between social, cultural, environmental and economic matters, the diversity of interests within a community,
- 3. its relationship to building capacity. Community Capacity Community development helps to build community capacity in order to address issues and take advantage of opportunities, find common ground and balance competing interests. When communities are well organized, inclusive, influential and cohesive, they create a positive environment for people to enjoy a good quality of life. If communities are to be fully engaged in discussions, decisions and actions around needs and problems, they need to have the ability to work on equal terms with service planners and providers. If communities are to benefit from owning assets such as land, buildings, services and energy, they must have the capacity to manage and develop them. What is Community? Often when we think of community, we think in geographic terms. Our community is the city, town or village where we live. When community is defined through physical location, it has precise boundaries that are readily understood and accepted by others. Defining communities in terms of geography is only one way of looking at them. Communities can also be defined by common cultural heritage, language, beliefs, or shared interests. These are sometimes called communities of interest. Relationships, whether with people or the land, define a community for each individual.
- 4. Most of us belong to more than one community. List a few examples of “communities of interest” you are a part of. What is Development? The term “development” often carries an assumption of growth and expansion. During the industrial era, development was strongly connected to increased speed, volume and size. However, many people are currently questioning the concept of growth for numerous reasons – a realization that more isn’t always better, or an increasing respect for reducing outside dependencies and lowering levels of consumerism. So while the term “development” may not always mean growth, it always implies change. Community development is about community building. The process is as important as the results. Community Building Community building is about people from the community, government, business and academia working together to take steps towards solutions to issues affecting their communities. It is about: understanding where the community is at, what the community aspirations are, what needs to happen to enable change to happen; and adapting what has worked elsewhere and enlisting support from government and other partners to act together to create change. Asset-Based Community Development
- 5. Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) is a movement that considers local assets as the primary building blocks of sustainable community development.
