Synopsis

Natural resource developments, very often, have had effects on the living standard of the individual. They sometimes stimulate the economy but give less chance to the community to develop. They most often generate adversity among the people, affect the political stability, social relationships and community development of any given environment in which they happen to take place. As a result tensions arise between residents, particularly between old folks and newcomers. An example is what's happening in Rio Vista, a small town in California. The tension behind gas development issues in this city is a factor that has to be debated and revisited for a number of community development actions to take place.
