The inadequacy of current information on escalating LDC energy consumption prompted the National Academy of Sciences to hold an international workshop in January 1980 to review existing surveys of energy consumption and potential demand in LDC's. Proceedings of that workshop are provided in this report. Working group reports on LDC energy needs in urban, rural, transportation, and industrial settings are presented, along with excerpts from 12 energy-related LDC studies and abstracts of 55 studies on energy assessments, energy survey design, and data analysis systems. Two preconditions for an energy survey that serves national and local planning needs were identified: (1) Institutions at both levels must have the capacity to accurately perceive energy problems and identify areas of most urgent concern. (2) The effectiveness of a survey depends on the existence of an institution that can use the results of the survey in policymaking. The workshop concluded that, generally, no survey methods are universally acceptable. Surveys should be designed for local situations and should be carried out in a flexible manner, using appropriate methods of analysis. Whenever possible, those cognizan

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
