This assignment requires students to reflect upon the role of recreation, park, and tourism field to address
important community and societal issues. The RPT field makes many contributions to communities (e.g.,
providing programs and services to meet community goals, alleviating impacts of societal problems, and
responding to societal changes).
Tasks:
Identify an issue (single) impacting your community (should be a town, city, or population that is important
to you). This issue can be a community goal, societal problem, or other social trend.
a. Using at least three outside sources:
a. Define the scope and background of the issue and its impact on the community
b. Discuss the role of RPT service providers to address this issue. Think about:
i. What types of organizations are currently addressing this issue?
ii. Are RPT service providers currently involved in this issue?
b. What specific programs, services, or RPT service providers should be involved?
c. What do you see as some challenges that RPT service providers may face as they attempt to address this
issue?
a. Think in terms of both delivery of services (e.g., funding, legislative/ordinance restrictions,
physical and human resources) and experience of users (e.g., stakeholder conflict).
