Content: Research has also revealed that community involvement can improve confidence in public safety. One study published in EcoHealth, for instance, showed that people who participated in a community-based land management program reported better wellbeing in several areas including feeling safer in their local communities. Community involvement has also been shown to improve outcomes in environmental management. For example, research looking at a conservation area in Nepal discovered that a community involvement program helped to educate and empower citizens and local institutions. These changes, in turn, led to more tree diversity and increased animal populations in the Annapurna Conservation Area. Community Involvement in Business
Community involvement among businesses has been a growing phenomenon since at least the 1980s. Terminology and approaches have shifted over the decades, however. Community involvement for businesses (or ‘corporate social responsibility’/‘corporate community involvement’) has been shown to boost employee morale, improve business, and increase brand recognition. While the impacts on the community are less understood, some evidence has shown positive outcomes. A lot of research has gone into showing the impacts of community involvement on business performance and brand recognition – perhaps, to demonstrate to corporations why they should give back to their communities.
