Community Action Model

Active Living By Design’s community action model is the cornerstone of our work. It depicts how active living and healthy eating supports can be incorporated into a community and should ultimately result in increased physical activity and healthy eating. The model emphasizes a socio-ecological approach to change, as well as community partnerships that work across disciplines. The community action model follows a local active living movement from its establishment and strategies to short-, middle- and long-term changes.  

The model is based on a logic model concept, using a diagram to illustrate a process of community change.
