| Tóm tắt: | The Next Rural Economiesbrings together rural and small-town scholars from seven OECD
countries to present essays on the possible futureof rural development. Past approaches to
rural development have tended to focus on the “space economy,” implying attention to
comparative advantages, natural-resource endowments, and development strategies that
sought mainly to overcome the cost of distance. Through the cumulative efforts of rural
development practitioners and researchers, this space-based approach is being challenged
and complemented by a recognition of the growing importance of “place-based
economies.” A place-based approach to rural development means that the unique attributes
and assets of individual communities and regions now underscore their attractiveness for
particular and contextually appropriate types of activities and investments.
The dynamics and functional attributes of place provided the purpose and substance of
a workshop held in the spring of 2008 at the University of Northern British Columbia,
“Space to Place: The Next Rural Economies.” The participants all shared a common focus
in their work on rural community and regional development, and the workshop provided a
framework for sharing and advancing our understanding of place-based approaches to rural
development. The production of this volume was a key workshop objective from the outset,
allowing us to identify core themes for participants to reference in their chapters (see
below). This continuity of purpose and reflection facilitated a robust comparative treatment
of the rural experience in each country setting. |
