Sustainable development provides a framework under which communities can use resources efficiently, create efficient infrastructures, protect and enhance quality of life, and create new businesses to strengthen their economies. It can help us create healthy communities that can sustain our generation, as well as those that follow ours. Sustainable development is not a new concept. Rather, it is the latest expression of a long-standing ethic involving peoples relationships with the environment and the current generations responsibilities to future generations. For a community to be truly sustainable, it must adopt a three-pronged approach that considers economic, environmental and cultural resources. Communities must consider these needs in the short term as well as the long term. Sustainable Development also can be defined simply as a better quality of life for everyone, now and for generations to come. It is a vision of progress that links economic development, protection of the environment and social justice, and its values are recognised by democratic governments and political movements the world over. Sustainable Development is therefore closely linked to Governance, Better Regulation and Impact Assessment. Indicators to measure progress are also vital.This paper has four sections. In the first section we introduce the notion of fuzzy cognitive maps and Combined Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (CFCMs). In section two we describe the problem and justification for the use of FCMs. In section three we give the adaptation of FCM to the problem. In the final section we give conclusions based on our analysis of the problem using FCM.
