This study sheds some light on the regional development planning and regional disparity in Bangladesh and also analyzes spatial disparity of development through several factors to picturize the poverty situation in different regions of the country. In fact, this paper tries to represent the scenario of planning in micro-regional level. Findings from the paper reveal that, some regions of Bangladesh are still underdeveloped because of the fact that they continuously receive marginal share of public expenditure and national budget of the country. Gini Index for the total budget shows an incompatible level of income inequality to the people across various regions in Bangladesh. Northern and West regions of the country are mostly deprived of proper development planning and allocation of efficient budget. Overall, this article deeply provides a briefing for field people involved in regional planning processes in the rural areas. Bangladesh is yet to decentralize empirical power to the local government authority to ensure proper budget allocation and distribution. Allocation in ADP for health, education and agriculture sector should be enhanced urgently. Generating regional data will be much effective to fabricate more dynamic development planning and to understand the current situations of the lack-lusture regions of the country. Key Words: Bangladesh, Development, Planning, Budget, Expenditure, Regions, Poverty

Over 70 per cent of India’s population lives in rural areas and depends on agriculture for their livelihood. Due to reduction in generation of income from agriculture sector, the rural population has led to migration. It can be controlled by generating meaning full employment opportunities in rural areas through encouraging entrepreneurial activities. The present study was conducted to know whether the economic condition of trainees have enhanced after attending training on honey processing at Rural Technology Park, National Institute of Rural Development-Panchayat Raj (NIRD and PR), Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The trainees’ occupational status and monthly income has been enhanced after training from 10 to 40 per cent of self-employment and 15-50 per cent of income has increased, respectively. From the study it can be deduced that purchasing power of the people risesby proposing income generating opportunities to the people in villages.

The Saudi government has engaged in regional planning to develop its 13 regions, reduce disparities between cities and rural areas, and balance resource distribution. In this paper I explore obstacles to regional development in Saudi Arabia and analyze outcomes in light of principles in the literature. I first identify seminal concepts of regional planning processes, governance, and implementation. These concepts are then organized into an evaluative framework for two case studies: Riyadh, the capital region of Saudi Arabia, and Makkah, the country’s most populated region. Finally, I present results, draw conclusions from the two cases, and discuss implications for the future of Saudi regional development.

This paper explores multifunctionality in rural areas. To plan a sustainable development based on rural tourism, we performed a study about the potential conditions of the Ayacucho rural community. A methodology based on Working With People (WWP) model was applied to that end. This iniciative is supported by four principles: respect and primacy for the people, a guarantee of social well being and a sustainable development, bottom-up planning, and an endogenous approach; and also by a horizontal community engagement which allow to identify key factors for regional development and to reach consensus about priorities and future action plans.
