Abstract
The present volume has arisen from a research
project entitled : "Rural Development Strategies in the West
of Ireland", which is being carried out by members of the
Department of Geography at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth.
This research project, which began in 1981 and is scheduled
for completion in September 1984, is being funded by the
National Board for Science and Technology, whose support is
gratefully acknowledged.
The nature of the research being carried out has
been strongly influenced by the "top-down" and "bottom-up"
dichotomy as regards approaches to ' deve-:Copment~which has
become increasingly popular in regional/rural development
circles in recent: years. At its simplest, this dichotomy
distinguishes between, on the one hand, centralised, statesponsored development programmes which tend to utilise
standard techniques based on generalised models of how
development occurs, or should occur ; and, on the other hand,
local, and frequently community-based, development initiatives
which seek to :!;"_elate the development effort to_.local needs
and resources.
