ABSTRACT
With more research focusing on community visioning and its role in successful change processes, this community development tool is increasingly cited as an efficient and effective means of identifying core community values, prioritizing goals and strategies, and implementing community plans, policies, and decisions (Aigner et al., 1999; Ayres, 1996; Bloom, 2000; Bodeen & Hilliker, 1999; Christenson & Robinson, 1989; Flora & Flora, 2008; Green et al., 2001; Green & Haines, 2008; Kretzmann & McKnight, 1997; Peterson, 1995; Potapchuk, 1996; Shipley, 2002; Walzer et al., 1995; Walzer, 1996). Advances in both theory and applied visioning case study work continue to guide practitioners, academics, and community residents interested in conducting research, learning from cases, and applying the concept to effect community change.
