Abstract
For planners a scenario study is just another tool in the long bargaining process between opposing interest groups, since only negotiation and compromise can lead to implementation. What exactly is the gap to be bridged between scenario studies and actual rural physical planning? To what extent do, or should, the results of scenario studies influence the practice of policy formulation and implementation for the rural environment? And, what are the practical experiences in drawing up scenarios supportive of policy and regional development? These are the central questions in this part of the Proceedings.
