“…La propuesta de aplicación del modelo de capacidad de acogida pretende ser, primordialmente, un diagnóstico territorial (Gómez, 2007) que, en términos funcionales, se instrumentaliza con fines de planificación, es decir, busca que el conocimiento e interpretación de la dinámica espacial evite el establecimiento de usos por demanda. En este punto se resalta la aplicabilidad e idoneidad de este modelo con respecto a otras alternativas, en primer lugar, porque no pretende ser explicativo de localización de actividades, usos del suelo y sus efectos, como es el caso de aquellos inspirados en el modelo de anillos concéntricos de von Thünen (Walker, 2001;Caldas, et al, 2007;de Carvalho, 2013;Phelps, et al, 2013;Wästfelt y Arnberg, 2013), en la teoría de la localización de Alfred Weber (Scott y Angel, 1987;Witlox, 2000;McCann y Sheppard, 2003;Lall y Chakravorty, 2005) o en la teoría de los lugares centrales de Walter Christaller (Pumain y Saint-Julien, 2014;Wanmali y Islam, 1995;Dennis, et al, 2002;Openshaw y Veneris, 2003; Barnes y Minca, 2013). De la misma manera, dado que el embalse ya está construido y lo que se pretende es utilizarlo como potencial para el desarrollo de otras actividades, no es posible determinar la asignación de usos del suelo con modelos de optimización de localización en SIG, como es el caso de la programación lineal con técnicas heurísticas (Fernández, et al, 2013;Delgado-Osuna, et al, 2016;Haque y Asami, 2014;Datta, et al, 2006).…”

El punto de partida de esta investigación es la identificación de un vacío en la planificación y ordenación de las áreas de influencia de los embalses para la generación de energía, entendidos como cuerpos de agua en los que se concentra una parte importante de la oferta de recursos hídricos. Con base en la descripción de la problemática y la importancia de considerar los megaproyectos hidroeléctricos como unidades de análisis espacial, se propone la Capacidad de Acogida del Territorio como un herramienta metodológica para evaluar los impactos acumulativos, en tanto permite entender la configuración del territorio luego de la entrada en operación del proyecto hidroeléctrico. Esto puede convertirse en un insumo para la toma de decisiones con respaldo técnico que responda a la pregunta de qué hacer sosteniblemente en dichos territorios.

“…This means that successful sectoral planning requires the consideration of regional conditions and should be carefully adapted to local conditions. With respect to small town development, this implies, for example, the avoidance of mechanical planning models allocating public service facilities according to rules based on central place theory (see van Dusseldorp, 1971;ESCAP, 1979;Wanmali and Islam, 1995). As our case studies have demonstrated, both the nature and quality of these facilities should be better adapted to the needs and capacities of both the local urban and rural hinterland populations (van Teeffelen, 1992;Huisman and Stoffers, 1992).…”

The role of lower-order urban centres in regional development constitutes an important subject of debate. The existing controversies in the literature and the lack of empirical data to support the optimistic assumptions of policy-makers and planners inspired a team of geographers at Utrecht University in the 1980s to start a programme of comparative studies on the role of small towns in a selected number of regions. These regions were considered to be representative for four types of context with respect to the functioning of small towns-a south-east Asian and a Sahelian context, the context of agricultural colonisation and export production areas in central America and southern Africa, and the context of industrialising borderland areas in northern Mexico. The findings from the comparative studies and from recent literature allow us to challenge optimistic assumptions about the development role of small towns. The divergent character of the selected contexts and the differential impact of regional conditions explain the observed variations in town-hinterland conditions and the potential development role of small urban centres. The findings establish that generalisations about the role of small towns are hard to make and lead to some important policy implications.

“…Investments in infrastructure and the provision of related services are integral to the process of development [Wanmali and Yassir (1995)]. Infrastructural investments (roads, electrification, irrigation, telecommunication) in agriculture play a key role in improving agricultural production [Wanmali (1992); Ahmad and Donovan (1992)].…”

“…Infrastructural investments (roads, electrification, irrigation, telecommunication) in agriculture play a key role in improving agricultural production [Wanmali (1992); Ahmad and Donovan (1992)]. It has been established that investment in infrastructure helps in increasing accessibility of people to services, and in the dissemination of new technologies [Wanmali and Yassir (1995); Cites Ahmad and Hussain (1990) and Hazall and Ramasary (1991)]. Moreover, investment in soft infrastructure (services such as those related to transport, finance, input distribution, animal husbandry and marketing etc.)…”

Rural development is essentially a part of the process of structural transformation characterised by diversification of the economy away from agriculture. This process is facilitated by rapid agricultural growth, at least initially, but leads ultimately to significant decline in the share of agriculture to total employment and output and in the proportion of the rural population to total population [Johnston (1970)]. Rural development, as such, is not an end in itself but a means to an end and can provide the basis for a sustained and equitable economic growth of all sectors of the economy. The main theme of the paper is to contribute to the perception of rural development in Pakistan by delineating the pros. and cons. of past rural development efforts and the ensuing crisis in agriculture. Possible strategies for sustainable agricultural growth and rural development and the formal approach for their implementation are described in subsequent sections. It is argued that the whole scenario requires courage and political will of politicians to decentralise the development process. Concluding comments and future options for research appear at the end.
