The results indicate that the process of development goes beyond the analysis of economic growth calculated from revenue and per capita income, because these factors are related to the welfare of rural households, the environment, and the educational system, etc. Development is a transformation process aimed at small units of territory and human groups, able to give rise to promote economic dynamism and, concurrently, to improve the population's quality of life, regardless of whether located in urban or rural .
