These impacts will likely exert a substantial pressure on the land and water resource lease of the area in addition to the effects upon community development, regional income, income distribution, and a changing mix of business activity. In order to approach future research on these issues this "seed" research effort was designed to (1) promote interaction and interchange of ideas among researchers and members of the affected communities, (2) to identify important areas of research needs in the oil shale region, and (3) to initialize the collection of primary data depicting the economic structure of the oi1 shale communities.reportsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
