Community of Ownership and Interest

USAGE: cultural geography; civic and environmental planning; and community administration REFERENCE: Dr Bill Boyd, SCU et al 

CONTEXT NOTE: Used in opposition to ‘stakeholder’: one who has a legitimate interest, stake and/or ranked pecuniary interest in an enterprise, endeavor or entity. Also used to demonstrate inclusivity as opposed to the exclusive implications attached to ’stakeholder’ albeit that stakeholders will almost always be members of a Community of Ownership and Interest.
