註釋
Begins with a literature review on community economic development in general and on forestry-dependent communities. The literature is reviewed in the following terms: the financial market, traditional and non-traditional strategies for development, resource-dependent communities, and government roles and policies in economic development. The review is organised into topics including the role of entrepreneurship, urban community development in Canada, and local industrial development. The next sections examine selected measures of sustainable forestry and community development, and factors involved in northern Ontario community development. Finally, an input-output analytic model is presented for assessing impact on a community of expenditures on investment projects and other activities at the local and provincial level. The analysis is illustrated for a hypothetical case where the output of pulp and paper operations in Kapuskasing, Ontario is valued at 150 million. Economic impact results are supplemented by discussion of some general socio-economic indicators produced by the model.
