Rural Development through Regional Planning in Israel
1965
Weitz, Raanan
A novel approach to planning of agricultural production and comprehensive rural development is described in this paper. According to this concept, regional development has a two‐fold function: “vertical” in planning of agricultural production by connecting macro‐planning at the national level and micro‐planning at the level of individual production units; “horizontal” in integration of agriculture, industry, and services from the economic, social, organisational, and physical point of view. The institutional structure of implementation is analysed and described. The concept of regional planning described evolved out of the attempts to solve socio‐economic problems of the rural population of Afro‐Asian origin which had to be settled in Israel.
