Abstract
The structure of normative influences on planner responsible to?, what is it that such responsibility obliges him or her to do?, and under what circumstances should obligation or responsibility. who is the planner responsible to? what is it that such responsibility obliges him or her to do? and under what circumstances should such obligations be activated? Answers to these questions create a three-dimensional matrix of obligation where all three dimen sions comprise a holistic gestalt—some— times consistent and sometimes in con flict. Within this framework is the notion of multiple moral communities, the pulls between good ends and right actions, and the ambiguities and complexities of the situational contexts of ethical choice.Keywords
