Ammon – Development is the process of achieving progress and improvement in the economic, social, cultural and environmental conditions of individuals and societies. Development aims to achieve comprehensive well-being and progress for individuals and to improve their quality of life.
Development is characterized by several basic characteristics, including:
1. Inclusiveness: Development aims to achieve progress and prosperity for all segments of society without discrimination, including the poor, marginalized and disadvantaged groups. Opportunities should be available to all and individuals should enjoy their basic rights.
2. Sustainability: Development aims to achieve progress in the long term without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Development must be done in ways that conserve natural resources, protect the environment and promote ecological balance.
3. Diversity: Development is the promotion of diversity and respect for different cultures and values in society. The developmental process must include all cultural, social and economic aspects of individuals.
4. Participation: The development process must include the active and inclusive participation of civil society and concerned individuals. Individuals are required to participate in decision-making and implementation of developmental policies and programs related to their communities.
5. Social justice: Development aims to reduce social gaps and achieve social justice. All individuals should have equal opportunities for development and benefit from the positive results of the development process.
These are some of the basic characteristics of the development process, and they depend greatly on the context of the country, culture, and the challenges that societies face in achieving progress and improvement.
