Rural development cannot be separated from the role of an urban hinterland area. In a broader regional system, rural and urban are an integrated and interdependent area. Sustainability of rural environment and communities is a long-term goal that must be achieved for the welfare of all humanity. The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for all academics and researchers to share experiences and understandings and collaborate in a broader scope to realize the sustainable development goals.
