Assessing regional economicimpacts of recreation trips is important to public agencies' decisions about using recreation as a rural development tool. Minimizing the total cost of recreation trip production implies that households will spatially
distribute their purchases of inputs to trip production. The site's cost effects, price information effects, and recreation and retail agglomeration effects cause changes in household recreation purchases and ultimately generate regional economicimpacts.

Attention is given to the role of rural roads in countering remoteness and promoting more equitable development. The paper focuses on three economicimpacts of roads - agricultural production, employment, and household income. The impact of roads
varies within an area and between areas. Impacts are considerably greater when roads provide communities with access to a major urban centre compared with a small town.

The impact of local decentralization on economic growth : evidence from U.S. counties
County ; Decentralization ; Demographic change ; Economic growth ; Economicimpact ; Employment ; Local authority ; Taxation system ; United States of America
The impact of fiscal decentralization on U.S. county population, employment, and real income growth is analyzed. The findings suggest that government organization matters for local economic growth, but that the impacts vary by government unit
and by economic indicator. Single-purpose governments per square mile have a positive impact on metropolitan population and employment growth, but no significant impact on nonmetropolitan counties. In contrast, the fragmentation of general-purpose governments per
capita has a negative impact on employment and population growth in nonmetropolitan counties. Local government decentralization matters differently for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan counties.
The manifold influences of tourism on coastal areas are analysed from three different angles : the development of seaside tourism including the changes of socio-economic and settlement patterns; its cultural impact on the local population; its

The AA. look at the relationship between the physical change impacts and the socioeconomic implications. They utilise both a GDP-at-risk and an economic cost-benefit approach, in combination with biophysical analysis, to model the impacts of sea
level rise along the East Anglian coastline of eastern England. For most predictions the protect strategy is economically justifiable on a region-wide basis.
