The public policy process is defined, and its importance as a factor in geographical change is evaluated, in the context of a study of the impact of US federal programmes in Appalachia, with special reference to the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965. The significance of each stage in the public policy process is analyzed, beginning with problem identification; proceeding through the threshold of political awareness to the generation of a popular political issue; following the formulation of legislation, the stages leading to its becoming law and the operation of its provisions with further modifications over the years; and finally assessing the impact of these stages on geographical change within Appalachia
