DESCRIPTORS Case Studies; Change Agents; *Community Action; Community Attitudes; Community Characteristics; Community Development; Community Leaders; *Economic Development; Entrepreneurship; Foreign Countries; Geographic Isolation; Quality of Life; *Rural Areas; *Rural Development; *Small Towns; Social Capital; Youth Programs IDENTIFIERS Australia; Capacity Building; Community Viability ABSTRACT Many small, inland, and remote Australian rural communities continue to lose population and businesses, a trend that has intensified over the last 2 decades. Mean age continues to rise, while the 15-24 age group contracts dramatically. Such declining demographics are caused by the stress and uncertainty of volatile world commodity markets, as well as by environmental concerns, technology changes, changing lifestyles, low income and rising debt levels, declining educational and health services, deteriorating infrastructure, high family and business costs, and recent policies that centralize services. However, some communities have been able to build resilient characteristics and plan and implement a range of survival and revival strategies resulting in improved quality of life and economic opportunities. This handbook is designed to enhance the capacity of small rural communities to take proactive renewal initiatives by focusing on what communities are doing.
