ABSTRACT
The Social Well-Being Task Group is in a position to make a recommendation to the rest of the planning team among the various plans insofar as social well-being factors are concerned. In making the recommendation, this chapter considers the condition of No Plan is one of the alternatives. A No Plan decision can have farreaching effects, of either a positive or negative nature. If people in the area had been counting on a planned project to boost the economy in some way, an attitude of pessimism about future growth could develop in the face of a decision not to implement the plan. Since the Social Well-Being Task Group is concerned with beneficial and adverse social effects, its recommendations will be based on the distribution of those alone; i.e., on how the Task Group assesses the completed Social Well-Being Account.
