Robertsfors Model The theoretical model is based on The Natural Step Framework's Compass model and System Conditions, Manfred Max-Neef's (Chilean economist) concept of Basic Needs, and the experiences of past generations of Swedish eco-municipalities. The five linchpins of the Sustainable Robertsfors theoretical process include the following: Knowledge & Deep Understanding Comprehensive Integration Democracy & Participation Partnerships/Networks Process Leadership These five parts of the Robertsfors process model have complemented each other and are equally important for success. They must happen concurrently and comprehensively, and it is through the process leader that this is ensured. These five linchpins are explained in detail in the document "Theoretical Process of Sustainable Robertsfors" and the model overview diagram that can both be downloaded as pdf files from the links below.
