| description | The present paper offers an overview of research on development in Third World countries done by researchers of the Department of Geography of Fribourg University (Switzerland) over the past 10'years. The common denominator of all the projects reportad is the focus on the local/regional scale, on people and their needs, on their potential for endogenous development.
Most of the research has been carried out in French speaking West Africa, in particular in Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) where rural development strategies have been (and are still being) examined.
It is planned to transfer this focus on autochtonous development efforts to developed countries: Third World countries are marginal áreas on a woridwide scale, but similar problems of marginality are increasingly found in the 'North', and here, too, endogenous potentials may be important for local/regional survival. |

The common denominator of all the projects reportad is the focus on the local/regional scale, on people and their needs, on their potential for endogenous development. Most of the research has been carried out in French speaking West Africa, in particular in Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) where rural development strategies have been (and are still being) examined.

Cet article offre un survol d'un certain nombre d'études qui ont été effectuées au Tiers Monde par des chercheurs de l'Institut de Géographie de l'Université de Fribourg (Suisse) dans les dix derniéres années. Tous ees projets ont un dénominateur commun qui est l'orientation vers l'échelle locale/régionale, les populations et leur besoins, le potentieí pour leur développement endogéne. Les recherches ont été effectuées surtout dans les pays francophones de l'Afrique occidentale, notamment au Burkina Faso (jadis Haut Volta) oü l'accent était mis (est se met toujours) sur les stratégiesde developpement rural. Nous avons l'intention de transférer cette optique de développement autochtone aux pays développés: le Tiers Monde est une région margínale á l'échelle planétaire, mais des problémes de marginalité semblables se poseront dans le 'Nord' d'une fagon croissante, et ici, on fera également recours á des potentieis endogénes pour assurer la survie. Este artículo presenta un cuadro sinóptico de un cierto número de estudios efectuados en el Tercer mundo por investigadores del Instituto de Geografía de la Universidad de Friburgo (Suiza) en el curso de los últimos diez años. Todos estos proyectos tienen un denominador común que es la orientación hacia una escala local/regional, las poblaciones y sus necesidades, el potencial para su desarrollo indígeno. Las investigaciones se efectuaron sobretodo en países de lengua francesa de la Africa occidental, especialmente en Burkina Faso (antes Volta Superior), donde el acento se puso (y se pone todavía) sobre la estrategia del desarrollo rural. Tenemos la idea de transferir esta óptica de desarrollo autóctono a los paises desarrollados: el Tercer Mundo es una región marginal en la escala planetaria, pero problemas semejantes de marginalidad están aumentando también en el Norte, y aquí como allá, los potenciales indígenos podrán ser importantes para asegurar la supervivencia.
