environ mental preser vation and protection needs. Objects of value 
can be visited, such as individual natural features, wildlife systems, 
historical buildings. Besides, the spirit of unity and patriotism 
within  the  community,  territory-specific  crafts  and  decorative  art 
activities and the ability of mutual understanding should also not 
be neglected. Ideas can be generated at meetings of various groups, 
using the brainstorming method. The ideas put forward should be 
kept for the vision Development stage.
Vision could include population health, keeping in mind that 
the associated problem area is usually much broader, involving, for 
example, such factors as deterioration of the demographic situation 
or a higher mortality rate of lung disease in a district and on average 
in the country. One of the causes of problems in the human environ-
ment is deterioration of the living standards; consequently, the task 
of normalising the situation can be related to the improvement of 
economic situation.
It should be taken into account that the vision cannot be borrow-
ed from the neighbours or someone else – it can only be single and 
specific  to  a  particular  country  or  community.  The  vision  should 
express the society’s future expectations and aspirations that can 
be articulated through such important factors as health, living 
standard, lifestyle, environ mental quality and future directions of 
eco nomic Development. The vision should be brief, composed in 
an easily comprehensible language, and it should reflect the main 
directions toward which the society will have to work hard.
