What resources already exist that can be built upon and developed?
If there are recreational softball leagues, building new fields might be a good idea. If the senior citizen's center exists already, refurbishing it to allow for more wheelchair access and more varied activities might be a good idea. If areas of the community are unsafe, full of graffiti, or unusable, putting money into rehabilitating these efforts might be a good idea.
How do we wish to change and shape the community?
For a community with a lack of a common bond, creating a central meeting place like a park might be a good idea. If the community is suffering particular problems, like obesity and lack of activity, creating an area where there are tracks and fitness runs might be a good idea. Having a monthly 5K run, or a 'let's get healthy day' staffed by volunteer nurses and doctors is another option. Some communities have even experimented with allowing residents to grow small gardens in unused plots of land, which would give people access to more fresh and inexpensive fruits and vegetables.
For communities where improved safety is a priority, using some...
Also, if the lot increases the use of cars and decreases the amount of foot traffic near the park, putting in a large parking lot could be counter-productive and potentially unsafe to children playing in the area.
Design must also be considered. If the park does not have enough equipment for older children, it will be under-used. Projects specifically designed for senior citizens and children must be in safe areas. Annual events should be scheduled at convenient times for the whole community, not too near holidays, but at times when people are likely to have time off from work, and children have time off from school. Logistics and city planning is yet another thing that must be kept in mind during the selection process.
Domestic violence has been around for as long as many cultures can remember, however, that's not an excuse for its continuance. Although some see women and children as mere property, their rights and safety should be protected. Whether they suffer from physical, sexual or emotional abuse, thankfully there are an increasing number of programs for these victims to turn to. These programs work hard to take the steps necessary for
Although many studies have been performed regarding marketing effectiveness and efficiency, and although some have covered the benefits of cooperative marketing, none were found specific to the unique Farm Credit segment. The research conducted in this paper was designed to fill this void. A statistical sampling was taken, utilizing e-mail surveys, to discover as much as possible about each institution's advertising needs. The research conducted was exploratory in nature, rather
In Vallejo, however, because of the Hispanic ethnic background of much of the population, there is a profound, healthy, and deeply culturally ingrained appreciation for the sport of baseball. Thus, to foster this interest, expanding the Little League and offering financial support to existing community organizations is one of the physical activity components of the action plan designed for the area ("Children and Weight: Taking Action in the Vallejo Community,"
Empowering Sustainability The Rising Impact of Microgeneration on Energy and Climate Microgeneration, the small-scale production of electricity or heat from a renewable or low-carbon source, represents a paradigm shift in how individuals, communities, and businesses approach energy consumption and production (Hill et al., 2012). This sustainable practice is an essential component of global efforts to mitigate climate change, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and democratize energy access (International Energy Agency,
Case Study: Crohn�s DiseaseCrohn�s disease can often be difficult to diagnose, given it shares many similarities with inflammatory bowel disease (IBS), colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome. In this case, a 27-year-old man with Crohn�s disease has been admitted to the emergency room. Crohn�s disease is usually initially treated with drug therapy, although depending upon its severity, surgical intervention may be required. �Though most patients respond to medical therapy, mainly steroids,
Coca ColaGive examples of unethical or unsustainable behavior that firms in the food and beverage industry might undertakeFirms in the food and beverage industry have been criticized for various unethical and unsustainable behaviors. One of these is endangering scarce natural resource supplies; for example, coca-cola has been criticized for endangering scarce water supplies, which is an unsustainable behavior (�CSR at Coca-Cola�).Another is the promotion of unethical eating behaviors, especially through
