Abstract

Problems of low income, high incidence of poverty, inadequate or expensive community services, net out-migration and high dependency rates in rural areas are now well documented and widely recognized. Not so well recognized is, “What can be done about these problems?” This paper suggests systems analysis to answer this question. Following a description of the systems approach to planning, a case is made for applying such an approach to rural development. Finally, some new observations are presented on the economic payoff from various public programs suitable for inclusion in systems planning.
