- Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the concept and notion of community development. We analyze the nature and character of Chinese historic conservation areas. We recommend using a community development approach in historic conservation area to transform historic conservation plans of physical environments into comprehensive community development plans. We encourage and promote the organized participation of community inhabitants in such plans and in the implementation of joint conservation and improvement tasks with the government for historic conservation areas.
