OSTI ID:7295667
The purpose of this study was to survey those in the United States currently active in the field of appropriate technology, describe their efforts, explore factors inhibiting the development and application of their innovations, report on their recommendations for Federal and National Science Foundation activities in support of appropriate technology, and assess the policy implications of appropriate technology in relation to an environmentally and resource constrained economy. Two hundred and ninety-four individuals and groups from target populations concerned with issues related to the environment, local participation in planning and technology development, and unemployment/income stabilization responded to the survey of appropriate technology conducted for RANN by Integrative Design Associates.
