This document summarizes a presentation on regional economics. It discusses key concepts like the types of regions, factors that influence regional development like demand and supply, and characteristics of underdeveloped regions. The main points covered are the roles of demand and supply in regional growth, types of external relationships between regions, and factors that can cause regions to be poor or experience arrested development. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of regulating resources and practicing sustainable development systems to promote prosperity across regions.

2. Brief Introduction
• This brief summary is focusing on the areas of regions,
types of regions and some related details including,
regional economics with both dual side of affect on
demand and supply and will be separately discussed
each .
• Moreover, there should be descriptions and
illustrations about regional diagnosis including what
made them Poor or undeveloped and their
characteristics .

3. Main Points
Region
Regional Growth and Change involve complex interaction among activities within region’s
economy
 Vertical , Horizontal and Complementary
• Demand and Supply as determinants of regional development
1. The role of demand
Economic base theory and regional Input-Output analysis
• Intermediate—private
• Households—individuals
• Government—state
• Outside World—activities
• Capital—the region’s stock of private capital

2. The role of supply
Backward
Forward
Interregional trade and factor movements
A region’s growth involves at least three kinds of external
relationships of the region:
Trade
Migration of People
Interregional “ Migration”

5. Conti……………………………………
Regional Pathology
In many countries across the world, there is no uniform and balanced
regional growth.
(1)A particular region may simply have poor natural resources:
(2) The resources of the region may not be fully developed, usually
through lack of capital
(3) A region's basic industry is either stagnant or in decline:

6. Conti……………………………………
Backward regions
• (1) An under-utilization of resources through unemployment:
• (2) A loss of social capital as towns and cities decay
• (3) External social costs:
• (4) Differences in unemployment between regions make it more
difficult to manage the economy:
• (5) Economic integration between nations may be undermined by the
political opposition of depressed region pressure groups:

7. Conti…………………………………..
Developed regions in recession (regions under arrested development)
 In such regions unemployment is high and chronic; out-migration is heavy;
 But arrested growth in a region may also mean simply that the factors of
interregional competition, in specific activities, have taken a trend adverse
to that particular region.
Excessive growth and concentration
 Somewhat the opposite situation prevails in regions that undergo extremely
rapid growth involving massive inward migration
 The growing pains of such regions are felt as impairment of the quality of
services, destruction of local resources and amenities through overuse, a
high rate of obsolescence of facilities, and institutions, and a general
deterioration of the quality of life

8. Conclusion
• Last but not list, in the above paragraphs are very
meaningful for the understanding of the
interconnectivity among regions, economics,
migration and also development .
• Thus, we have understood the importance of
regulating men and materials within the most
prosperous mobilization under stability and sustainable
systems. Whereas, practicing contradiction system.

9. Lesson Learned
• As Social Workers who are committed to know more
about knowledges which are reflecting Individual,
Groups and community’s needs we have realized that
when we have read, discussed and summarized this
chapter there are lots of similar to those above
mentioned consequences which face in our country ,
including the backward regions E.g .Hawd, Saraar,
Sool and Salal regions are backward regions when we
compare to Gabiley, Hargeisa, and Boramma.
