The following are important points on regional development strategy:
- Identification of region
- Mapping and listing of resources available in the region
- Mapping and listing the problems existing in the region
- Making policy and planning
- Evaluating the environmental effects of planning
- Evaluating the social and political effects of planning
- Implementation
- Mid time review
- Policy and implementation changes based on the mid-time review
- Feedbacks
- Impacts Analysis
Identification of region

- Coastal areas planning
- Island planning region
- Least developed area
- Economic backward areas such as BIMARU states in India.
- Social backward areas
- Flood prone region
- Earthquake region
- Landslide region
- Cyclonic region

Listing the resources available in that region; resources may be:- Land resources:

Implementation:

Based on the mid-year review, change the planning and policy if needed to get the right result.
