2.2. Understand Community Input and Values

“Seek first to understand, then to be understood.” 

Stephen Covey

 

Section Outline

    2.2.1. Defining the Community

    2.2.2. Identifying Project Stakeholders

    2.2.3. The Citizen’s Advisory Committee

    2.2.4. Identifying Community Values

    2.2.5. Engaging Stakeholders to Identify Issues, Opportunities and Constraints

    2.2.6. Finding Solutions through Collaboration

 

Achieving an understanding of community input and values entails engaging project stakeholders and is essential for developing a thorough understanding of the affected community, its characteristics, and values. 

 

Rather than representing one step in the process of developing context-sensitive alternatives, achieving community input takes place on an ongoing basis: while defining the community, identifying key values, and developing workable alternatives that take into account the context of the project.
