Críticas

"This volume is an excellent handbook for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in the area of rural planning in developing countries. Drawing from their wealth of experience and expertise in strategic rural planning; use case studies from different regions of the developing world to explain how and why it has failed; and present findings and recommendations for remedying flaws in past and current practice. The writing flows smoothly, and skillful use of figures, tables, and boxes enhances presentation of the materials. The book is well organized and presents its outline in the introduction. Technical terms and concepts such as rural planning and sustainable livelihoods are carefully defined in chapter 1, "Lessons from Experience," which facilitates the comprehension of subsequent material. Chapter 2 discusses and assesses a broad range of conventional and technical approaches to rural planning. Chapters 3 and 4 offer an elaborate presentation of the participatory approach and of the need for collaboration in rural planning. Recommendation for effective rural planning are given in the final chapter. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections." --M. Q. Dao, Eastern Illinois University inCHOICE
