JCDA aims to feature narrative, theoretical, and empirically-based research articles. The journal also accepts articles with data taken from reflections as well as experiences (qualitative research) relevant to community development in Asia. As it explores the community development broadly, the journal also welcomes manuscripts related with the examination of community problems, and theory making. The mission of JCDA is to improve the knowledge and practice in the field of purposive community development. With more research done in this field, we hope that it can contribute into making an excellent community in Asia.
