Over the last few decades, rural development has undergone several

stages of transformation. An early focus on development was related to the

traditional view that development means economic growth, focusing on

increased productivity through modernization of the rural sector.

Acknowledging that growth was often accompanied by inequality, leads to a

concern with distribution and social justice. This necessarily emphasizes meeting

basic needs of the deprived groups.

In the current debate of rural development, the notion of community

resilience becomes a new focus in development literature. The concept of

community resilience attempts to understand how people respond to internal

and external disturbances, whether they are anthropogenic disturbances

(human induced) or natural disturbances (i.e. a natural disaster). With the

advance of globalization and the urgency of responding to climate change, there

is an urgent need to prepare rural communities to face the threats of both

sudden and gradual changes and/or challenges and adopt the development

pathways that are conducive to poverty alleviation and innovative uses of

natural and human resources.

BACKGROUND

3

implementing rural change and the improvement of the quality of life and nurturing a development pathway that increases resilience and the sustainability of communities.
