The focus here is generally at the community level, but other kinds of scaling are certainly part of the equation as well. Regional considerations fit into this most clearly but communities, even when organizing locally, must also be part of both political and economic consideration at the national and international level Generally the subject addresses a kind of chunking, and dividing by geography and by function or interest. Obviously the 'how' of distinct geographical areas such as neighborhoods function is intimately tied to geographical and functional dividing lines are established
The idea is not to establish a perfect recipe or prescription on the perfect scale of units that magically at a maximization of output efficiency The idea is only to try to get a feel for how to play with certain kinds of scale
to present a prescription or recipe , by just creating perfect units of scale and action that lead to maximum efficiency it is instead just an outlay to form such plans
Deciding what are natural boundaries for neighborhoods
Try to utilize or vision processes that are sustainable in terms of relationships
Neighborhoods Try simple neighborhood potlucks, and
Utilize history of activism in some neighborhoods
The social context has obvious overlap. A positive social context obviously adds to neighborhood networking
Studies have shown that groups around 150 people may be roughly optimal maximum for most closely knit groups
Scaling Scaling can be non geographical, and can be used to coordinate those bound by issues as well
Scaling also looks at regional connections and how we move outwards as well as inwards
Generally refers to person to person interaction in terms of physical logistics and direct communication lines between individuals
Information focused on something like local economic activity with other ancillary considerations such as the quality of customer satisfaction, how and where to buy Local economic activity is not just locally owned business or other more grassroots activity to the broad local economy as well This is not about the content of these informational categories, but how to look for patterns, or efficiencies of certain kind of scales
Guidelines and attitudes for conducting process
Group Dynamics Hierarchies
Effective personal strategies Non violent communication
Less formal groups

Interdisciplinary Summarizes how those of disparate interests and goals, coordinate, and perhaps sacrifice something for unifying purposes
