Over the last decades, the concept of “rural development” has been widely discussed in
academic literature.
• “Rural Development is a strategy designed to improve the economic and social life of a specific
group of people – the rural poor.”(World Bank Sector Paper on Rural Development,1975)
• Rural development “refers to a distinct approach to interventions by the state.” (Harris, 1982)
• “Rural development as a multi-level, multi-actor and multi-facetted process.” (Van der Ploeg et al,
2000)
However, there is a growing realization that it would not be possible to generate a
universally accepted definition of it.
The concept of rural development has been evolving, reflecting both the dramatic
transformation occurring in the rural economics, environment and societies and the shifting
goals of different groups of actors.

Definition of rural development

What is “rural development”?
What can we learn about “rural development” from a literature review?
• What are the main topics or the main research fields of rural development?
• How do these topics or these fields relate to each other?
• How has rural development research developed over time?
This study aims to demonstrate the changing landscape of rural development research
through a systematic quantitative literature review.

Bibliometric analysis
Bibliometric analysis is to perform quantitative analysis to study publications and written
communications.
Science mapping
Science mapping, as a supported procedure of bibliometrics, provides a spatial
representation of the structures of networks and allows us to discover the “hidden”
relationships and developments of knowledge clearly.
