      abstract = {Most of the nations of the world have expressed concern  for rural revitalization by providing a greater range of  economic opportunities, social amenities, and cultural  advantages.  This report discussed rural development in the  highly industrialized nations of the Federal Republic of  Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Norway,  Finland, Denmark, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Japan,  Canada, and Israel.  The nations have emphasized the  following major elements: improving community facilities  and services; increasing economic and investment  opportunities; giving attention to institutional and social  factors; and establishing a satisfactory system for  planning and guiding rural development.  The report's  emphasis is on policies and programs pertaining to  nonagricultural rural development, such as the creation of  nonfarm employment opportunities, provision of water and  sewer facilities, and construction of houses, schools,  clinics, and hospitals.  Development activities in the  international organizations of the European Community, the  European Free Trade Association, and the Organization for  Economic Cooperation and Development are briefly  discussed.},
