INTERACTIONS OF TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY: IMPACTS OF IMPROVED AIR TRANSPORT. A STUDY OF AIRPORTS AT THE GRASS ROOTS

The feasibility of applying a particular conception of technology and social change to specific examples of technological development was investigated. The social and economic effects of improved airport capabilities on rural communities were examined. Factors which led to the successful implementation of a plan to construct sixty small airports in Ohio are explored and implications derived for forming public policies, evaluating air transportation development, and assessing technology.
