In the third world countries the regional development plans tend to be made up of sectoral components for example industry, education and agriculture. Though the government machinery does pay some attention to inter-sectoral coordination yet it is rare that anything more than superficial attention is paid to urban-rural systems, and the geographical location of the projects. Same is the case with the Baluchistan Province of Pakistan. Due to political developments in Afghanistan and the Middle East. Pakistan in general and Baluchistan in particular have assumed a special significance in the World politics. "Urban Functions in Rural Development" (UFRD) was developed under U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) and applied in the study of Potosi Region in Bolivia. In this thesis we have tried to describe, in brief the concept and methodology of the spatial aspects of the regional development, and apply the UFRD concept in analyzing the Baluchistan Region. The accessibility step of this planning process is very important. It tells us the disparity among the areas in the Region and also the overall regional accessibility• So the accessibility aspect of Baluchistan has been dealt in great details and a number of trials have been done using "Applesoft Basic Package". / M.S.
