Abstract

How does a community measure its quality of life? Reeder offers four criteria that can be used as a yardstick. Then he suggests what the community leadership must do to adapt the yardstick, and what Extension's role should be in the process. Extension must restate community goals in terms of people, organize resources around people priorities, and move with what we know now rather than wait for more research. Many development people make the mistake of thinking about community problems rather people problems, Reeder says.
