In Alpine Shire, Australia, we saw the local community attempting to create a more prosperous community through the means of surveys and meetings.

This vision has been named the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan and been planned out to be done over a 20 year span, to be completed in 2030.

In 2009, this group held meetings and session, and came up with many different ideas to improve the health, wellbeing and economic stimulus within the region. They have created many different gardening projects around the park systems in the community art and digital photography competitions, and even a local community watch and security program. Through this process they were able to find the local issues and address them with the resources they had, and they have found success and future developments for the future.

This would then lead another large meeting where all the contributors of this vision would create the vision statement for the community to create a committed group statement.

Community Visioning


Applications

When should your technique be used? The beauty of this process is that it may be used in various situations that involve the change of some community based system. If a community has discovered that they wish to explore new ideas for a more improved community, this process would help facilitate the proper vision of feasible and attainable ideas that would create a more economically, environmentally, and socially stable community.

Who should it be used by, who should it be used with? This process is valuable to those people within a local community that wish to have a voice within the decision making process for vision for a better community. This process would be best used by those communities that have a lack of economic stimulus, poor environmental sustainability practices, or diminished social networking. This process will bring all to most of the community members to the table to discuss the future vision of a more prosperous area of interest such as economics, environmental, social, etc. Bringing out the valuable members to the table that can influential are extremely important to build up a group of resourceful candidates for change.

When has the technique been used?

We have seen community visioning in many different communities around the world, such examples are:

Alpine Shire

In Alpine Shire, Australia, we saw the local community attempting to create a more prosperous community through the means of surveys and meetings. This group sought out to find some of the problems that were affecting the local health, environmental, and economics instabilities. This vision has been named the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan and been planned out to be done over a 20 year span, to be completed in 2030. To see a promotional video, visit youtube.

SCI East North

Another example of community visioning in action was in the SCI East North community organization in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This community group met together as a neighborhood to determine what sort of ideas and visions they had for their local area. In 2009, this group held meetings and session, and came up with many different ideas to improve the health, wellbeing and economic stimulus within the region. They have created many different gardening projects around the park systems in the community art and digital photography competitions, and even a local community watch and security program. Through this process they were able to find the local issues and address them with the resources they had, and they have found success and future developments for the future. To visit their community organization’s website and more information about them, visit here. See their community visioning workshops on youtube.

Ketchum, Idaho

In January 2011, Ketchum Community Development sponsored a local community visioning project that involved local government officials, health practitioners, tourism groups, educational representatives, and people from the arts community to meet together to create a vision of the sort of community they would like to see. This type of community visioning is a slightly different approach where the community development group has identified some key contributors in the community, and used them to identify some ideas. These ideas will then be presented to the local community meeting of local residents to determine what sorts of ideas are most important and to add to the list. This would then lead another large meeting where all the contributors of this vision would create the vision statement for the community to create a committed group statement.

Technique Limitations

What are the challenges and limitations to the technique, versus other approaches to addressing the same problem? Draw on scholarly research as well as what you learned about limitations through your practice sessions/expert interviews. This section should include a thoughtful critique based on the scholarly literature.

Tips for Successful Implementation

Provide the reader with some hints and tips for how to successfully implement the technique. Again, these can be drawn from scholarly literature, useful sources, and your own practical experience.
