Overview
Rapid population growth, increased demand for food and other natural resources, and political and socioeconomic stresses have all contributed to the worldwide development of marginal regions—fringe areas, boundaries, and frontier zones. In this book, contributors analyze the limitations and opportunities provided by the natural and human environments of different marginal regions and compare human and resource management approaches. They also offer potential strategies and policies that may lead to more successful spatial planning and more rational human activity in ecologically vulnerable areas.

The proceedings of the August 1994 regional conference identify the following concerns in marginal regions of developed and developing countries: the need to better understand spatially bound development processes and issues, and to compare human and resource management approaches in different marginal areas of the world in order to create sustainable socio-economic regional development. The international collection aims to clarify the limitations and opportunities which the natural and human environments provide, and the political strategies and policies which lead to more successful spatial planning.
