It demonstrates that well-being is understood and managed in a variety of ways in different cultures but also across the geographical scales at which decision-making processes take place, from the local to regional, national and international scales. This book shows how community well-being can be measured using indicators chosen by local people to reflect the worldviews of their culture. It provides a unifying approach that is flexible enough to be used by conservation and rural development workers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is important reading for the staff of international aid and conservation agencies, for students of international development and those exploring concepts of well-being.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Practical Action Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050800431344,"sku":"9781853398377","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781853398377_p0.jpg?v=1763597476","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781853398377","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
