This purpose is much broader than the original intention of compiling a bibliography related only to the delivery of services in nonmetropolitan areas. Recent concern with ecology, social indicators, and the quality of life underscores the point that the private pursuit of economic goals is not necessarily in the public interest. For the purpose of this report, development is defined as a decision-making process characterized by resource utilization which benefits the public interest as well as private economic interests.1The simultaneous occurrence of development and economic growth is likely to be a consequence of the efforts of social structures to undertake planned social change, defined aa-social change which results from a conscious, deliberate, or purposiveprocess directed toward attaining a particular goal. Unfortunately, many individuals have not yet learned how to work through social structures in order to attempt to affect a particular planned social change. For these individuals and others, associations with groups, organizations, clubs, or other identifiable social structures is not always pleasant or meaningful. Nevertheless, social structures can enable individuals or communities to attain goals which they otherwise could not attain. 1 For a discussion of a sociological definition of development, see Wayne H. Oberle, "A Sociological View of 'Development'", a paper presented at the 3rd World Congress of Rural Sociology, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, August 22-27, 1972. -2- The present bibliography includes entries which are related to any of the topical areas listed in tho TARLE OF CONTENTS and which were identified in a careful reading of a variety of social science journals published between 1960 and 1971.2For the convenience of the reader, whenever an entry had utility for more than one topical area, it was listed in each appropriate section. Certain topics are.not given separate headings, but are found grouped under broader main categories. Thus, .the 'Community Organization" section (Section E)- inciuues entries on cities, Lor!.:al power: structures, local planning, and local programs. The '?overty, Status Attainment, and Mobility" section (Section I) includes a focus ondlc±sion-making. The "Social EndLoators" section (Section N) :Incorporates concern with the quality of life. The "Social Oro-qnzation" sec Win. (5.cr=ion 0) includes .a focus on andel problems.
