Abstract

This chapter presents a new a method for identifying keystone sectors in communities, where sectors are broadly defined to include churches, clubs, associations, and public institutions as well as different types of businesses and industries. In an arch, the keystone is the one with the unique shape at the top of the arch that is critical for the arch’s structural stability. The term keystone species was first coined by ecologists in the late 1960s with respect to the species responsibility for the structure and integrity of an ecosystem. We now coin the term for use in community development analysis. In a community, the keystone sector is one that plays a unique role and without which the community is fundamentally and detrimentally altered.
