A Summary of the Basic ABCD Process

  • Problems are general, but solutions are often specific and unique to a particular location

  • One size does not fit all

  • There is an inverse relationship between the size of a community and the intensity/strength of the relationships within that community (the strength of community relationships weakens as the size of the community gets bigger)

  • It is important to define a community of appropriate size for the specific community-building endeavor
