Features: This book is a summary of the author's many years of research on community design theory and practical experience in community design. It emphasizes the use of systems theory to understand communities, viewing them as systems within a system. The community system itself contains multiple subsystems, such as the natural environment, social environment, economic environment, and cultural environment. The various systems within the community are not isolated from each other but rather interact and influence one another. At the same time, the community is periodically affected by external environments. The book includes numerous vivid examples, which it is believed will inspire and assist professionals engaged in both the theory and practice of community design.
