Look at the following slide :
2. Schematic drawing of a
regional plan.
Dividing the population of a region (eventually that
of an administrative district) by 50.000 gives the indicative number of
individual projects necessary for global coverage of the entire region (or
district). Once all the individual projects in a given region (or district) have been completed, the
Millennium goals there will not only have been achieved – they will have been surpassed.
The regional (or district) Plan involves the drafting
of detailed individual projects for each of the areas with +/- 50.000 habitants
there. These will have been identified
in advance on the basis of political territories, administrative structures,
geological and morphological features, access structures, social factors
including language, religion, race, economic activities, population
distribution , and, above all, on the
preferences expressed by the populations.
In principle, subject to variations due to specific
local requirements, the execution of each individual projects is independent
from that of in other project areas. Where there is adequate initial funding,
there is no reason why all the projects in a region (or district) cannot be carried out contemporaneously, thereby
creating the structures necessary for a good quality of life for all of the
inhabitants of the region (or district) in the space of 2-3 years.
Where an order of priorities for the execution of
individual projects has to be set up, the choice of the priorities is purely
political in nature. Initiatives taken at the level of each project area could
play an important role. Normally, rural areas in the poorest zones would be
expected to get first priority.
Within the framework of regional (or district level)
integrated development, each individual
project area forms a powerful, cooperative, interest-free, in principle
inflation-free, local economic environment. Together the local economies form a
strong regional (or district level) interest-free, in principle inflation-free,
economy.
The relationship
amongst the various individual projects within a region (or district) is one of
strict equality. Each individual project area can have commercial
relations with the others in the region
(or district) It is important that these
commercial activities take place on the basis of a reciprocal trading balance
which tends to zero. This is to avoid financial leakage, important cause of
poverty, from one project area to another. On this point review the notes you made
on
Section 1 of Block 1 :
Analysis of the causes of poverty.
This section
involves an general analysis of the main lines of regional (district level)
integrated development structures. You
do not need to know at this stage how they are created. That is covered under Block 4 :The structures to be created and under Block 7 :
Regional and national planning.
1. Research.
Prepared a hand-made sketch of the
region (or district) where your project area is located. Using logic and common sense and your knowledge of the
territory, mark in the different individual project areas each with about 50.000 habitants.
2. Research.
On one page make a list of the chosen
project areas and explain why you made those choices.
3. Research.
On one
page, supposing the individual projects can only be executed one by one,
make an order of priority for the execution of the individual projects in your
area, giving the reasons for your choice.
4. Research.
On one page, make a summary of the
horizontal relations amongst the project areas. Indicate, amongst other things,
measures taken to avoid that one area get rich at the cost of one or more
others.
5. Opinion.
During your
analysis of the Schematic presentation of an individual project
in 1 of Block 3 you described the
possibilities of contemporaneous execution in parallel of many micro-projects
closely linked with each other but the execution and management of which were
independent of those of the other structures. On one page apply the same
concept the contemporaneous execution of individual projects at regional (or
district) level.
