Research/SD models on rural community development

[Fmbetts@aol.com]

Greetings Fellow SDers

I am looking for prior research on the use of SD and/or potential
collaborators for a project to build an analytical model that could be used by small
rural communities and charter schools to model community sustainability scenarios.

View the concept statement at http://www.ruralschools.net/sitepages/pid152.php

Thanks for your help.
