Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
January 1983

Abstract

The multiple parameters of the resource development experience are outlined to provide a theoretical frame of reference for the study of these complex interactive systems. The concepts of impact and impact assessment are analysed with reference to individuals, communities, and development projects. Three major contextual dimensions of resource development experience are discussed: the model of development, the social and cultural context, and the population characteristics.
