Περίληψη: | This book presents five critical dimensions on relationships, institutions, produc- tion, organisation, and governance from design and systems perspectives for the systematic transition of unstable and vulnerable communities across the world to sustainable community systems. • The first section discusses features of relationships and processes to deepen cooperation and trust within a community. • The second section examines institutions within and outside a district to foster synergy across institutions within a district and to minimise negative externalities on local communities within a district. • The third section deals with food production systems that are nature- friendly, resilient, efficient and sustainable. • The fourth section discusses the design of producer organisations that can graduate to become sustainable community enterprise systems. • The fifth section focuses on community governance that can facilitate decentralised, participatory, transparent and democratic local governance systems. This book • offers a fresh perspective on design thinking for optimising internal design consistencies. • provides a systems perspective on building sustainable community systems at the lowest governance unit in different countries, such as Ward/Gram Panchayat/Panchayat Council/Gewong/Union Council/GN. • gives insights into design & systems perspectives towards building sustainable community systems within a district of any country across the world.
