When we give a "name" to an issue or problem, we frame how we think about its causes. How we analyze an issue - what questions we ask about it - determines the types of solutions that are considered. Community planning can be enhanced by carefully naming and analyzing the issues that matter to local communities.
This part of the Community Tool Box helps support the work of naming and analyzing the issue, problem, or goal to be addressed.
The Community Tool Box is a service of the
Work Group for Community Health and Development at the University of Kansas.
