Rural development: A minor problem in the Netherlands?

A.L.G.M. BAUWENS and L. DOUW

Agricultural Economics Research Institute (L.E.I.). The Hague The Netherlands

Summary

In the Netherlands there are no large areas with typical rural characteristics. Existing differences in culture and economic performance between more and less urbanised regions have gradually been reduced by economic development which was stimulated by regional policy. The main problem now is how the nonurban areas can fulfil the growing needs of urban and other people concerning outdoor recreation, nature conservation and landscape. The development of policies and instruments of physical planning and rural reconstruction in recent years is closely linked with the above-mentioned problems.
