      abstract = {Individuals and groups have different preferences for the  types of planning and development efforts that are  undertaken by governmental agencies.  Some people prefer  programs aimed at alleviating unemployment situations.   Others prefer programs designed to improve the natural  environment, or to provide better recreation facilities, or  to supply needed human resource services.  The question is  how are these tastes and preferences expressed to the  relevant institutions of society responsible for planning  and development activity?

In Michigan, one of the more  recent developments has been the authorization of regional  planning and development organizations to prepare plans,  conduct studies, and advise county and local units of  government on a comprehensive range of development issues.   These regional commissions have been organized under a  variety of rules and procedures in compliance with both  Federal and state legislation and guidelines.  The primary  purpose of this study is to explore the impact of selected  structure and conduct rules on the expression of tastes and  preferences for employment impact programs.},
