Although the following report uses residential environmental code enforcement as a program for illustrative purposes, the community environment management administrator can easily recognize the application of the techniques and the strategies that are suited to his other programs. The case material used was chosen because it allowed description of community organization work at all levels from the neighborhood to the whole metropolitan area. This manual was written to give government program administrators a basic understanding of community organizations: their types, dynamics, organization, and leadership, and the part they play in community conflicts.
