This paper aims, first, to examine critically Kenya's economic, political, and planning systems, since they can be identified as the causal factors producing many of Kenya's environmental problems and as the frameworks that constrain the identification and implementation of effective environmental policies. The second intention is to demonstrate through a case study that the spatial relationships between physical environment, rural economy, tribe and politics may interact to thwart local participation in solving the environmental problems of the marginal areas.
