“…The scope of topics being explored is quite remarkable and there is no space in this study to review them in detail. Under the general category of tourism (Koster and Randall 2005; Ouchi 2010) for example, threads of nuance focus upon heritage tourism (Mitchell and de Waal 2009) and amenity tourism/migration (Chipeniuk 2004; Rasker et al. 2009).…”

Over the past 30 years, accelerating change has been one of the defining attributes of rural landscapes around the world. In response, there has been an increasing volume of rural economic development research and public/policy interest in that research. The purpose of this review article is not to provide a ‘state of the literature’ summary, but rather to highlight thematic directions, opportunities, and trends in the rural economic development literature over the past decade in industrialized economies. We review many of the longstanding research themes in rural economic development research: social and economic restructuring, barriers and challenges to economic development, community economic development, community capacity, governance, and policies and programs. We also explore a range of research issues that have (re‐) emerged over the past decade focusing on new approaches to understanding rural change and the deployment of development strategies in the context of the new rural economy.

“…Some determinants have more direct effects on population change than other determinants. For example, in remote rural areas, natural amenities attract migrants directly, but good transportation infrastructure promotes growth indirectly by acting as a facilitator for population flows (Rasker et al. 2009).…”

An Integrated Framework of Population Change: Influential Factors, Spatial Dynamics, and Temporal Variation

Population change has been studied in the fields of human ecology, population geography, environmental sociology, transportation planning, and regional economics, which make unique contributions to theorizing and modeling population change. Drawing upon this diverse literature, we develop an integrated framework for understanding population change in this review paper. The proposed framework is composed of five putative influences (demographic characteristics, socioeconomic conditions, transportation accessibility, natural amenities, and land development) analyzed across three dimensions-these influential factors of population change conditioned by spatial dynamics and temporal variation. We also proposed a practical procedure for tackling the complexity between population change and influential factors. This integrated framework has potential to complement existing population research approaches employed within individual disciplines. P opulation growth (or decline) is an important pursuit in the fields of demography, human ecology, population geography, environmental sociology, transportation planning, and regional economics. These fields adopt different theories to explain, and employ different approaches to model, population change. For example, human ecologists model population change within a holistic human-society-environment framework (Poston and Frisbie 2006). Population geographers are interested in spatial variations of population distribution, density, composition, and growth (Bailey 2005). Regional scientists and transportation planners study population via land use patterns (Boarnet 1997;Cervero 2003). Environmental planners focus on predictions of population change and

“…While natural amenities do attract migrants (Brown et al, 1997), the rurality or wildness itself does not guarantee high land developability. Moreover, development in rural areas is constrained by a number of other factors, such as transportation and demographic, socioeconomic, and environmental impacts, which should be considered in land use planning (Chi and Marcouiller, 2009;Rasker et al, 2009). The land developability generated in this study provides useful information for decision makers and land use planners by illustrating the proportion of lands available for development.…”

Land Developability: Developing an Index of Land Use and Development for Population Research

This research proposes an approach for linking land use and development to population data by using the ModelBuilder function of ArcGIS. The layers of land use and development are aggregated into a single raster layer representing undevelopable lands. The layer of undevelopable lands in pixels is then aggregated to political or geographical areas from which a Developability Index representing the proportion of lands available for development can be derived. The index can then be linked to population data for demographic research. For demonstration purposes, the proposed approach is used to generate a Land Developability Index for all minor civil divisions of Wisconsin, USA, in 2001. This approach and the generated land developability are useful for studying the relationship between land use and development and population dynamics based on political or geographical areas.
