<br /> White some issues are unique to a district, there are certainly overlapping issues, such as
<br /> environment, education, tourism, health caze, and recreation. Nevertheless, after the January 2000
<br /> Coastline Visioning Conference, each district's primary issues were adapted to the followingl2
<br /> categories::
<br /> • Economics -Potential Businesses (e.g., tourism, shopping, services)
<br /> • Economics -Agriculture (e.g., mazkets, gardens, value-added prpoducts)
<br /> • Education - SchooUCommunity (e.g., centers, computers, parents)
<br /> • Education -Cultural (e.g., cultural center, sacred places, museums)
<br /> • Public Safety (e.g., police, bus stations, community watch)
<br /> • Environment -Education (e.g., recycling, pesticides)
<br /> • Environment -Protection (e.g., beautification, waste collection, ahupua'a)
<br /> • Environment -Access (e.g., hunting and gathering, farmland, land use policies)
<br /> • Recreation (e.g., youth centers, pools, equipment)
<br /> • Health Caze (e.g., health center, long-term care, mobile and home-based care) ,
<br /> • Transportation (e.g., medical vans, late bus from schools, to youth centers)
<br /> • Arts (e.g., entertainment, wood crafts, photography)
<br /> During the planning process, citizens identified 108 major strategies within the above 12
<br /> categories. Each district then indicated when they believed each strategy should be addressed. The
<br /> strategies are therefore grouped by the attention they should receive in 1-3, 3-5, or X20 years, and
<br /> the results are listed on the following pages in columns in order of popularity. Within each category,
<br /> the number in parentheses nett to each strategy indicates the order in which the strategy should be
<br /> addressed. This chronological order is based on the total number of individuals who voted for that
<br /> approach.
