该提案要求为将于1989年7月7日至9日在泰国曼谷举行的第三届应用区域科学会议（ARSC）的10名美国和10名发展中国家与会者提供部分资金支持。美国协调员是伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校国际项目与研究教授兼副主任Tschango John Kim博士，他是ARSC组织委员会的成员。他将在伊利诺伊大学地理系教授兼系主任Goeffrey J. D. Hewings博士、南加州大学城市与区域规划学院副院长Peter Gordon博士和东京国际大学商学教授Koichi Mera博士的协助下选择与会者。Drs。Kim和Mera全面负责组织ARSC。地方组委会由国家经济和社会发展局副局长Phisit Pakkasem博士和曼谷亚洲理工学院人类住区发展部Hiranya D. Dias博士共同担任主席。会议的主要主题是东南亚地区的社会经济发展，特别侧重于区域科学方法在发展中国家区域发展问题中的应用。东盟区域科学委员会的主要目标是确定东南亚区域科学的优先研究议程。除了在正式会议上交流科学信息所带来的好处之外，ARSC还将对泰国的工业和文化遗址进行为期两天的实地考察。这10名发展中国家的科学家将从印度尼西亚、菲律宾、马来西亚、新加坡和孟加拉国选出，他们将得到该项目的部分资助。来自南亚、环西太平洋地区和欧洲的其他科学家预计也将参加。遴选程序将特别注意确保有相当数量的年轻美国科学家参与。本次国际会议的协调员是在组织国际合作活动方面具有丰富经验的备受尊敬的区域科学家。该项目与发展中国家科学项目（SDC）的目标相关，该项目旨在通过科学信息、思想、技能和技术的交流以及在互利问题上的合作，提高美国科学家和工程师与发展中国家同行之间的合作水平。在科学与发展合作计划下，可以支持召开会议，探讨科学技术对发展问题的应用。本项目通过拟议的科学交流与合作活动，支持上述各领域的国家科学发展计划。

This proposal requests funds for partial support of 10 U.S. and 10 developing country participants in the Third Applied Regional Science Conference (ARSC) to be held in Bangkok, Thailand, July 7-9, 1989. The U.S. Coordinator is Dr. Tschango John Kim, Professor and Associate Director, International Programs and Studies, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who is a member of the ARSC Organizing Committee. He will be assisted in the selection of participants by Dr. Goeffrey J. D. Hewings, Professor and Head, Department of Geography, University of Illinois, Dr. Peter Gordon, Associate Dean, School of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Southern California, and Dr. Koichi Mera, Professor of Commerce, Tokyo International University. Drs. Kim and Mera have overall responsibility for organizing the ARSC. The Local Organizing Committee is being Co-Chaired by Dr. Phisit Pakkasem, Deputy Director General, National Economic and Social Development Board, and Dr. Hiranya D. Dias, Department of Human Settlements Development, Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok. The major theme of the conference will be Socioeconomic Development of the Southeast Asian Region, especially focusing on applications of regional science methods to regional development problems in developing countries. The major objective of the ARSC is to identify a priority research agenda in regional science in the Southeast Asian region. In addition to the benefits to be derived from the exchange of scientific information in formal sessions, the ARSC will provide two days of field visits to industrial and cultural sites in Thailand. The 10 developing country scientists, partially supported by this project, will be selected from Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, and Bangladesh. Other scientists from South Asia, the Western Pacific Rim, and Europe are expected to participate. Selection procedures will give special attention to assure participation of a significant number of younger U.S. scientists. The coordinators of this international conference are highly respected regional scientists with extensive experience in organizing international cooperative activities. This project is relevant to the objectives of the Science in Developing Countries (SDC) Program which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. scientists and engineers and their counterparts in developing countries through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and through collaboration on problems of mutual benefit. Under the SDC Program, conferences may be supported to explore the application of science and technology to development problems. This project supports the SDC Program in each of these areas through the scientific exchanges and cooperative activities proposed.
