| This Seminar introduces the inventory and analysis process, methods, and documentation. It prepares the project leadership to guide consultants and community volunteers, facilitate public participation, and ensure that inventory and analysis is used effectively to make decisions. This seminar also introduces the concept of identifying and prioritizing opportunities based on the understanding of existing conditions and trends. Through the inventory process a community gains an understanding of the many existing conditions, factors, and characteristics that will potentially effect or be effected by project decisions. Systematic and deliberate analysis of those conditions, in coordination with a community’s vision and goals, will provide the framework for decision-making that protects and enhances valuable resources, takes advantage of opportunities and underutilized resources, and mitigates undesirable impacts. |
