This research investigated community dynamics and factors influencing effective participation and decision-making in British Columbia’s resource dependent communities. The research identified defining elements of “community” which are key to effective participation in community development decision-making and resource planning, allocation and management. The research findings will be of direct value to managers seeking to maximize returns on community development assistance and those seeking to make effective use of community involvement in the new types of consultation processes.
