A PLAN FOR ACTION The goal of the Volcano Long Range Plan is to live in harmony with the environment and with each other, to be good stewards of the land and of our community, to strive for a sustainable way of living, and to provide for the benefit of future generations. The VLRP is a plan of action arising from the Puna Community Development Plan. The PCDP is a conceptual document that provides a framework for action at the community level and is presented in three general categories: • MALAMA I KA %AINA (Care of the Land) • MANAGING GROWTH • TRANSPORTATION The Plan is organized by and promotes actions in accordance with these themes regarding historic preservation and education, environmental quality and natural resource conservation, agriculture and economic development, recreation, public safety, sanitation, social and healthcare services, and public transportation. Goals, objectives, and recommended actions are outlined for each planning topic. Goals are broad, desired future conditions; Objectives are specific outcomes to be achieved to realize these goals; and Recommended Actions are specific activities initiated by the community to achieve these goals and objectives. Most of the recommended 48 Action Items in the Plan (PART 1, 2, and 3) can be implemented through community organization and effort. Some action items will need legislative support from the County Council. Every effort is made to avoid coercive action or to create tension among neighbors, community oversight teams, or County Government. Residents can be informed through education, persuasion, good will, and good examples of harmonious living in this environment. 22
