Community values in cultural landscape decision making: Developing recommendations for ensuring planning processes include differing expectations of communities of interest

Subjective, qualitative data on community place values and meanings are difficult to incorporate into actual planning decisions. There are several factors which contribute to this problem. I propose that one of the principal contributing factors is the multiplicity of community values which results in differing expectations not only within and among resident communities, but also among other communities of interest including planners, heritage practitioners, developers and landowners.
