A comparative urban fringe study methodology / by Larry R.G. Martin.: En66-1/6E-PDF

"Concern for problems associated with land use on the rural-urban fringe has had a surprisingly long history in Canada. Recent urban development pressures in this zone have heightened government concern. Most studies have been concerned with describing urban fringe problems and with recommending remedial policies from particular problem perspectives and for particular urban areas. In an attempt to contribute to a more wholistic and integrated appreciation of the urban fringe this Report presents a design and recommendation for a methodology for explaining the socio-economic implications of land use changes on the urban fringe. The Report consists of two principal parts. One offers a selective survey of past and ongoing fringe research. The other describes a proposed national urban fringe research methodology in which useful definitions, data sources, and research tasks are discussed"--Abstract, page vii.
