ABSTRACT

Rural areas are the locus of many pressing planning issues, pointing to the need for and possibility of a substantive theory of rural planning. In this article we develop a framework for such a theory. We begin by outlining the emergence of planning and the marginalization of ‘the rural,’ by investigating aspects of existing planning theory. Then we explain the framework and apply it to a small set of critical cases in deep rural areas of the U.S. To conclude, we summarize our findings and propose future directions for theory in rural planning.

乡村规划实质性理论的注释：来自美国经验的证据

摘要

农村地区是许多紧迫的计划问题的根源，指出了对农村计划进行实质性理论的必要性和可能性。在本文中，我们为这种理论开发了一个框架。首先，通过研究现有规划理论的各个方面，概述规划的出现和“农村”的边缘化。然后，我们解释该框架并将其应用于美国深部农村地区的一小批严重案例中。最后，我们总结了我们的发现并为农村规划理论提供了未来的方向。
