2001

Webster, H.H. | Chappelle, D.E.

The central purpose of this paper is to help communities and their leaders think realistically about prospects for becoming combined-development centers. Its specifics are based on experience and three community-based case studies in the Lake States region. More general points made are quite likely applicable in other regions as well. Conditions necessary for a combined-development center are examined in terms of location factors for each sector separately, and "linking factors" that help the two sectors exist compatibly. Suggestions are made concerning forms of forest resource management that can help to foster combined development. This paper concludes with guidelines that may assist communities in objectively appraising their own prospects of becoming combined development centers.
