Microcomputer technology and regional planning in the developing world

Abstract This paper examines the role of microcomputers in regional planning in the developing world. It begins by examining the potential benefits of using microcomputers in the third world and the fundamental obstacles which limit their effectiveness in this environment. The paper then considers three microcomputer applications for third world regional planning: planning software, electronic spreadsheets, and database management. The paper concludes by examining organizational and institutional issues associated with the diffusion and use of microcomputer-based planning tools in the developing world.
