Governments at all levels, including the federal, state, and local levels, have accepted that “traditional democratic philosophy,†which promotes rural people’s active engagement in decision-making and policies implementation that touch and shape their lives, has an intrinsic mandate. This article provides a survey that reveals specific strategies to modernize and correct the rural development model based on both local and international practice. Analyzing the theoretical and Management side of rural areas’ steady development, the association between a variety of rural economy structures and rural areas’ multifunction character is discovered, necessitating the diversification of rural economies through the stimulation of numerous organizations. It has been established that the rural economy is a complex socioeconomic system, with object-subject connectivity influencing its diversification. In general, the review concludes that, in addition to emphasizing the need to compliment the theory behind the new rural development theory with new interpretations that help us with better understanding about rural development. This study establishes a different rural development definition and recommended global best practice using smart growth development as a necessary step in rural people management.
