Communications and telecommunications: Integrated approaches to communications planning

Alan Hancock

Telecommunications Policy, 1978, vol. 2, issue 4, 298-308

Abstract: The author argues for an integrated approach to the formulation of communication policies. He suggests that the term 'communication planning' signals changes in attitudes to planning in general, breaking through the boundaries of technical or quantitative exclusivity into a broader, more interdisciplinary approach. After describing the main characteristics of the integrated approach, he examines the Unesco Afghanistan survey as an example of recent work on the methodology of overall communication system planning. The author then discusses the issue of technology transfer in the context of communications, and concludes with an analysis of the trend towards the international coordination of planning approaches.
