The editors have been active in conducting training with state and local policy makers on how to deal with models using the material in this proposed work.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe proposed work outlines and documents a set of community level analytical tools and procedures to assist local decision-making processes. The major goals of the work are to provide a reference for future community policy modeling and analysis efforts, and to provide a group of examples of applications of modeling.\u003c\/p\u003e  Chapter 1 Introduction to Community Policy Analysis Modeling. \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 New Governance and the Changing Face of Rural America.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Patterns of Local Government Activities in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 A National Infrastructure for Community Policy Analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 The Philosophy Underlying Community Policy Models.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Modeling the Local Labor Market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Modeling the Public Sector.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 The Show-Me Community Policy Analysis Model.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 The Iowa Economic\/Fiscal Impact Modeling System.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 The Great Basin Fiscal Impact Model.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 SAFESIM: The Small Area Fiscal Estimation Simulator.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 12 Data Issues.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 13 Software Development and Utilization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 14 Evaluating the Performance of Community Policy Models.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 15 Scenario Development in Community Policy Analysis Models: When is a Cost Actually a Benefit?.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 16 Applications of Community Policy Analysis Models: Three Case Studies\u003c\/p\u003e  Daniel M.
