Integral: high level of resident participation within the community and in surrounding areas. Parochial: self contained community where there is interaction and stability but no external focus. Stepping stone: high participation in community, but high turnover because of residents moving away when they reach a certain income level or children reach a certain age. Transitory: high rate of change and instability, high turnover rate of residents moving in and out. Anomic: little cohesion is evident among members of the community. Diffuse: there is minimal interaction in the internal life of the community. Characteristics of the community population(s): demographics of the community. Collaboration: engaging in a collaborative process with all three systems. Campaign: all three systems communicate well and have positive regard for one another, but lack consensus regarding the problem. Contest: opposition exists between target and action systems. Initiate the action plan: practitioners must be organized and well-prepared before the point of implementation. Monitor and evaluate the intervention: oversight, roles.
