While many rural areas continue to experience depopulation and
economic decline, others are facing rapid in-migration, as well as
employment and income growth. Much of this growth is due to the
presence and use of amenity resources, broadly defined as qualities
of a region that make it an attractive place to live and work.
Rather than extracting natural resources for external markets,
these communities have begun to build economies based on promoting
environmental quality. Amenities and Rural Development explores the
paradigmatic shift in how we view land resources and the potential
for development in amenity-rich rural regions. Amenity-based growth
can lead to several paths, based largely on proximity to urban
areas and the type of development that occurs, whether it be
seasonal residents, retirees, or tourism. The distributional
implications of amenity-led development are an important
consideration for policy, both within and between communities and
regions. The contributors conclude that public policy needs to
focus on maximizing complementary and supplementary uses while
minimizing antagonistic uses of amenities. Scholars and
policymakers concerned with economic development and natural
resource management will find this comprehensive volume of great
interest.
