Consolidation of rural service delivery
Article Abstract:
Local governments of rural areas must implement effective policies to address the problem of supplying services to the inhabitants of those municipalities that are experiencing economic setbacks. In theory, it appears that a consolidation of rural services would be less expensive and would permit the rural communities to retain necessary services, but on the actual scale it seems that consolidation would prove less efficient, particularly when compounded by political obstacles.
