Development of regions in critical natural and social environment, such as water basins, plains, mountainous terrain, deserts, arctic areas, steppe, and nomadic, semi-nomadic tribes, sub-tribes, large landownership, landlessness, feudal cultural structure, is characterized by exogenous factors constraining the regional development process. They may be spatial isolation, lack of proper planning and management, lack of local development experiences, low level of education and participation.
