1. In Cape Town, the team from the Medical Research Council examined the role of public consultation and community indicators at the metropolitan level of environmental management. The perceptions of, and potential for, community input into environmental policy-making was analyzed across the various layers of city institutions at a time of large-scale government restructuring. In Calcutta, two local study teams - one from an international NGO, the other from a local community based organization - undertook the study. The former has developed and tested community indicators in two refugee settlements (one with legal recognition, one without) in two separate municipalities using their experience and long-standing relations with both communities and municipalities in the research process. In adjoining Howrah, community activism has been catalyzed and observed by the local community based organization. The study in Howrah analyzed issues involving increased awareness of, and capacity to act on, environmental problems by Muslim women from a low-income area. The lessons from this experience are related to the potential for using community indicators in an area where the municipality has traditionally been less active.
