A sense of community is founded upon an awareness of one's environment, including both positive and negative attributes, coupled with feelings of connection with both the physical and social environment and a belief that one's actions indeed matter. Absence of a sense of community is a void of mechanisms for social organization from which to engage self and others in community action; it is a lack of membership, influence, needs reinforcement, and shared emotional connection. Therefore, sense of community is a concern for anyone seeking to engage community members in interactive, sustainable planning and development activities. If sense of community is both measurable and manipulable phenomena, as some contend, then we ought to identify and test ways of measuring and enhancing it. Likewise, it is essential that planners move beyond articulating the need for interactive planning approaches and identify and utilize approaches with more fully integrate the values and perspectives of community members.

520 # $a A sense of community is founded upon an awareness of one's environment, including both positive and negative attributes, coupled with feelings of connection with both the physical and social environment and a belief that one's actions indeed matter. Absence of a sense of community is a void of mechanisms for social organization from which to engage self and others in community action; it is a lack of membership, influence, needs reinforcement, and shared emotional connection. Therefore, sense of community is a concern for anyone seeking to engage community members in interactive, sustainable planning and development activities. If sense of community is both measurable and manipulable phenomena, as some contend, then we ought to identify and test ways of measuring and enhancing it. Likewise, it is essential that planners move beyond articulating the need for interactive planning approaches and identify and utilize approaches with more fully integrate the values and perspectives of community members.
520 # $a Assessments of the effects of the REP experimental treatment are inconclusive, and the data analyses suggest the presence of testing effects which confound isolation of the effects of the treatment. However, the REP process appears to be a highly effective community development approach, successful in creating and sustaining interest among community members and capable of producing useful data. Further, the value of the REP process as a community development approach may be fortified by the absence of significant alterations in sense of community levels. It appears to engage community members in community action without imposing externally directed change in community values and perspectives. Democratic processes are reinforced as community members voice and explore issues, identify “common ground” concerns, and embrace functional conflict as a means of molding the present to ensure a common future.
520 # $a The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of participation in Resident Employed Photography (REP) on residents' sense of community, and to evaluate the REP process as a community development approach. One hundred eleven Greenwood County, South Carolina residents participated in a Solomon Four Group experimental process to determine if REP participation elevates sense of community. The effectiveness of the REP process as a community development approach was evaluated in the context of a “community action” (Edwards and Jones, 1976).
