This thesis examines models of community development in order to determine the areas in which they are most effective at impacting communities. Community development researchers and practitioners often ignore the wide range of possible approaches to community development by choosing to focus on a particular model. This thesis broadens the perspective of community development literature by focusing on the wide range of possible approaches and the specific aspects of community development in which each is most successful. To accomplish this task, five models are selected, organized based on levels of community participation, and examined in regard to their ability to impact communities based on a systematic evaluation framework. The result is a typology of ommunity development models that highlights the differences between different models of community development and identifies the aspects of community development to which each is uniquely well suited.
