This paper investigates the implications of the differences in value orientations for community planning in native communities in Ontario, Canada. A value case study of the New Credit native community and a community consisting of Euro-Canadian professionals revealed significant variations in their value preferences, which were regarded as the potential areas of conflict in their planning relationships. Further examination of planning consequences of the value study showed that a variant of the social learning paradigm of planning seems to be effective in planning with the New Credit community. Conceptual issues that need to be addressed before the paradigm can be fully adopted are raised.
