O.  aThe generation of technologies in rural areas.h[electronic resource]  c1981  aAbstract: Technologies are at present generated in the framework of a system of paradigms which originated in the developed world, which is not adequate for the developing countries. This article proposes a research methodology that, while generating technologies appropriate for rural areas, contributes at the same time to the building of a new system of paradigms adequate for the needs and conditions of developing societies. The final aim of the methodology, which presupposes local participation, is to define a ?technological space? which is the set of requirements and constraints that the technology has to satisfy. Any technology which fits that space is appropriate, whether locally produced or imported.  aInnovation adoption  aRural development  aTechnological change  aDifusão de Tecnologia  aMétodo de Pesquisa  aPesquisa  aTecnologia Apropriada  aTransferência de Tecnologia  aAdoção de tecnologia  aAppropriation of technologies  aTecnologia rural  tWorld Developmentgv. 9, n. 1, p. 21-35, Jan. 1981.
