    Abstract
    Successful community planning in northern native communities requires a distinctive approach that ensures the predominance of community priorities. This approach can be stated in principles or rules which pay close attention to the aboriginal culture and environment in which community planning and development decisions are made. In order to appreciate these principles fully, one also needs to understand the context in which community planning is practiced in the Northwest Territories, where such planning is principally a responsibility of the territorial government, and is administered by regional community planners on behalf of the small non tax-based aboriginal communities in the immediate region. The principles discussed in the article reflect the author's belief that a sympathetic attitude and intuitive interpersonal skills are just as important as technical skills in understanding and interpreting the preferences of aboriginal communities when carrying out a land use planning or development exercise north of the 60th parallel.
     
    L'aménagement communautaire dans le Nord canadien demande une approche particulière donnant la priorité aux besoins de la communauté. Cette approche peut être énoncée sous forme de principes ou de règles de l'aménagement du territoire. Ces principes réservent une place importante à la culture et à l'environnement des communautés pour lesquelles les décisions sont prises. Afin de mieux comprendre ces principes, il faut également comprendre le contexte dans lequel l'aménagement communautaire se pratique dans !es Territoires du Nord-Ouest, où il s'agit essentiellement d'une responsabilité gouvernementale territoriale administrée par les urbanistes dans la region même au nom des petites communautés autochtones exemptes d'impôts. Les principes dont il est question dans cet article, reflètent la conviction de l'auteur quant au fait qu'une attitude sympathique et de I'entregent ont autant d'importance que les connaissances techniques lorsqu'il s'agit de comprendre et interpréter les attentes des populations autochtones au nord du 60ème parallèle.
