Caldwell, Wayne; Steve Bowers; Owen Williams. A Community Development Approach to Environmental Management. Guelph, Ontario, Canada: Environments, 1999, vol. 27, no. 2, pp. 63
Recommended By: School of Rural Planning and Development - SPRDNotes: "Community development is a process which emphasizes local knowledge, capacity building, local initiative, ownership, participation, education and action. It is a useful model upon which an approach to environmental management can be based. The Huron Stewardship Council, established under the auspices of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources' Private Land Resource Stewardship Program, uses a number of community development principles to ensure a community perspective on the development and implementation of an approach to environmental management. This paper explores the relationship between community development and its application in Ontario's Private Land Resource Stewardship Program, with special reference to the Huron Stewardship Council. The paper stresses the importance of community participation in the identification of environmental issues and in the development and implementation of programs and actions."

Recommended By: Arkleton CentreTo Acquire Contact: Taylor & Francis GroupNotes: Description of way in which new institutions are built out of the bits and pieces of old institutions. Distinction between "bureaucratic" organizations (formalized, explicit structures, rules, contracts, etc--often introduced by governments or development agencies) and "socially embedded" (based on culture, social organization and daily practice) institutions. These are not easily distinguishable in actual life, because bureaucratic institutions may be socially embedded. Drawing on research in the Usangu Basin, Tanzania, the concept of 'institutional bricolage' is outlined; a process by which people consciously and unconsciously draw on existing social and cultural arrangements to shape institutions in response to changing situations. Contrary to much theory, this study shows that institutions formed through bricolage are a dynamic mixture of the 'modern' and 'traditional', 'formal' and 'informal'.
