| Summary, etc |
"In the past, planning exercises for an area were done on sectoral and isolated manner resulting in a fragmented and impractical approach to development. However, recent efforts have been directed toward more integrated area development planning.<br/>The accent on area and regional development is a consequence of the apparent unevenness of socio-economic status and development of various areas and regions. It is in the regions outside Metro Manila where live the bulk of population with low incomes. Recognizing the fact that national development could be achieved through more equitable distribution of income and wealth, the necessity to classify and define spatial dimension of wealth and income distribution becomes imperative.<br/>Regions with high but largely untapped potentials and have at the same time felt pressing economic needs are the target points in area development planning. Initially, integrated area development planning has been done on the river basin scale.<br/>Thus, the whole concept of planning is brought down to the field level wherein it becomes the task of the field workers of various government agencies to coordinate and supplement each other's pro- grams and at the same time inspire the community leaders and residents to participate in the development process.<br/>On the other hand, it must be emphasized that there is a need to use every possible method and approach to tackle the problems of integrated area development. In solving crucial issues such as food production, marketing, etc. which are integral part of area development, planners, policymakers, scientists and economists should work together to arrive at the proper admixture of human and material resources to maximize social and economic benefits.<br/>Hence, the Third Policy Conference is centered on two timely and priority issues namely Integrated Area Development and Agricultural Diversification and Markets."<br/>- Ramon L.
