| Research Abstract |
The research activities over the past five years have resultedin the development of a network of community members who share the goal of sustainable community development. By researching deeply about environmental, social and economic issues facing communities in both rural and urban Nepal, the research has identified 65 community indicators in which community stakeholders believe are important for the creation of a sustainable community. These indicators were developed and piloted from 2009 to 2012. The research also identified the following community members as the networking community: 1) households, including both male and female household members; 2) shopkeepers; 3) government and private schools; 4) NGOs, including World Wildlife Fund, 5) Biogas organizations; and 6) Community women’s organizations. Through focus group discussions and surveys with each of the above members, it was found that linking these members through a community networking system can support the development of a sustainable community.
