    Rural spatial reorganization on the case of Mlali
    (University of Dar es Salaam, 1978) Tuguta, Musa Y
    The need for rural re organization for development in many underdeveloped countries is no longer debatable. It is a must. It is indispensable. And yet the question has been how to start and how to do it. Where it has been done as in the case of Tanzania, another question has yet been whether it has been done cording to plan. This study has been directed towards the investigation of these very questions. It is based on field research, field measurements and on intensive interviews with conversant personnel in Tanzania rural area. Spacing of villages has been studied, measure and evaluated production reorganization has been investigated and assessed in the light of national policies. Availability of existing social services has been studied and related to present village location s; finally, on administration reorganization in rural area, the interest has been focused in community administration distance and whether or not it is congruent with desired goals in rural settlement reorganization. Prior to those investigations, African policies on rural reorganization are briefly examined in general. The historical background to spatial organization follows this general; overview of African rural policies in order to put the study in its wide perspectives. Although this study based on intensive investigation of a single rural ward, characteristic similarities of different places of Tanzania rural life make it possible for this study to provide basic necessary knowledge for understanding the present rural situation and for planning. The study cannot claim to be exhaustive, nor can it be underrated. A house is never built of a single brick. Many bricks arranged in an orderly manner make up a beautifully and useful building. This study is a single brick. Where it has not provided exhaustive, further investigation will come to fill the gap.
