Abstract

Communities of all sizes must balance fiscal realities, changing economies, aging infrastructure, changing demographics, and a challenging climate as they work to manage their core infrastructure assets and accommodate and/or address new infrastructure and service demands. Given these challenges, are rural Ontario communities capable of responding to infrastructure pressures and opportunities? How does that capacity – or lack thereof – affect a community’s current and future long-term economic development? Funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs through the University of Guelph-OMAFRA Research Partnership, this research initiative will examine the capacity of different communities in rural Ontario to respond to infrastructure pressures and how these response impact their short and long-term economic well-being. Running from 2018-2021, the research team will use surveys, workshops, content analysis, and case studies, to develop recommendations for addressing these issues through both immediate and long-term policy alternatives. This research initiative will directly support rural Ontario’s economic vitality by providing three key benefits: enhanced understanding of the diversity and varying levels of rural community capacities, improved and more nuanced public policy, and enhanced rural infrastructure development programming.

建设未来:农村基础设施与区域经济发展
各种规模的社区在努力管理其核心基础设施资产并适应和/或满足新的基础设施和服务需求时,必须平衡财政现实、不断变化的经济、老化的基础设施、不断变化的人口结构和具有挑战性的气候。面对这些挑战,安大略省农村社区是否有能力应对基础设施的压力和机遇?这种能力——或缺乏这种能力——如何影响一个社区当前和未来的长期经济发展?由安大略省农业、食品和农村事务部通过圭尔夫大学- omafra研究伙伴关系资助,该研究计划将研究安大略省农村不同社区应对基础设施压力的能力,以及这些反应如何影响他们的短期和长期经济福祉。从2018年到2021年,研究小组将利用调查、研讨会、内容分析和案例研究,制定建议,通过短期和长期政策替代方案解决这些问题。这项研究计划将通过提供三个关键好处,直接支持安大略省农村的经济活力:加强对农村社区能力的多样性和不同水平的理解,改善和更细致的公共政策,以及加强农村基础设施发展规划。
