Abstract | This paper explores the ramifications and limitations of communication theory and decision theory in analyses of the developmental process. To date, change theory has been of only limited use as a basis for analyses of process in specific developmental efforts and for comparative studies among projects. It is possible that a more adequate basis for analyses of process requires a concommitant concern for theories of communication and decision-making. Concern with decision-making has often focused on who makes decisions and the status of the decision-makers. Such studies have generally assumed recognized decision points and deliberate decision-making rather than decision by default or nondeliberate decision-making, that is, the failure to identify decision points and to recognize the delimiting nature of those decisions being made. An examination of the nondecisions may be more fruitful than of the decisions and decision process. The author considers the interface of decision-making, nondecision-making, and communication, and their interface with change theories, with particular emphasis on their relevance to the developmental process in two naturalistic urban settings. Desired outcomes include the clarification of possible new ways of looking at the developmental process and the stimulation of research on such areas. (Author/RWP) |
