ISSN/ISBN: 0066-8451 Document Number: 375621A total of 17 country reports was presented at this seminar. All reports highlighted the need for more integrated policies on the human environment. The seminar strongly recommended that governments should establish research and information systems on population movements, in particular to provide separate data on rural and urban populations and migration. Countries are urged to deal more effectively with rural to urban migration by channelling migrants to smaller centres or new ones. Particular attention should be given to improvements in the countryside.
