这项研究的结果将有助于地方、州和联邦政府有效地干预区域和农村结构调整进程。它将通过建议促进增长和促进可持续农村企业的政策，同时保护农村社区和个人家庭免受不利后果的影响，从而产生经济效益。它将通过确定政策来改善家庭和个人的农村调整成果，从而促进社会福利。它提供的新知识将为区域变化政治提供信息，并消除目前阻碍执行农村调整政策的一些不确定因素。

The findings of this research will assist local, State and Federal governments to intervene effectively in processes of regional and rural structural adjustment. It will generate economic benefits by recommending policies that facilitate growth and promote sustainable rural businesses while at the same time sheltering rural communities and individual households from adverse outcomes. It will contribute social benefits by identifying policies to improve the outcomes of rural adjustment for families and individuals. The new knowledge it provides will inform the politics of regional change and remove some of the uncertainties that currently impede the implementation of rural adjustment policies.
