	Rural sociology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rural sociology is a field of sociology associated with the study social life in non-metropolitan areas.
		Rural economic trends in the United States are complex, as many regions are facing economic decline and rural exodus, while other regions -- in particular, costal and mountainous areas -- are facing an economic simulus and an influx of new residents.
		Rural society is faced with various problems including the environmental degradation and overuse of water resources, the establishment and inadequate regulation of toxic waste dumps, and poverty.

	A Rural Studies Bibliography
		Criticizes the literature on poverty for its tendency to seek causation in the characteristics and attributes of the individual and for focusing on identification of the poor rather than seeking the structural and political-economic conditions which produce their social existence.
		Rural life can be an experience in dealing with spatial isolation, vulnerability to the physical environment, social upheaval, value confusion and tensions which are implicit in cultural clash as it is manifest in the images presented by media and the convergence of rural and urban dwellers.
		Suggests that a critical rural sociology has played an active part in deconstructing the traditional rationalist approach and is currently involved in the reconstruction of an alternative approach to the study of agriculture and rural sociology.

	A Comparison of Social Capital in Rural and Urban Settings
		In a rural setting, however, there is more of a tendency (likelihood) that the communities based on non-geographic shared interests and values overlap with the geography.
		In a small rural community, the probability that a neighbor attends the same church as you do is increased, and this would represent an overlap of a community built on a non-geographic basis with a community built on geography.
		From a rural community perspective, a decline in social capital could have profound negative consequences for efforts aimed at rural economic development, industrial recruitment and the like, for these social capital networks may be the necessary first step in the evolution of the leadership necessary for achieving economic development.

	IS 531: Sociology Lecture Notes
		Sociology may be a discipline, a perspective, or a group of research methods.
		The Department of Agriculture was interested in sponsoring research in rural sociology (often found in the College of Agriculture and separate from the Sociology Department in the College of Liberal Arts).
		In some circles, sociology has the reputation of being a "pusher of unpopular causes" and the sociology department may be seen as a "center of radicalism." As one authority noted, "sociology tends to prosper during surges of public concern with social problems and to languish in conservative periods."

		While living in the rural areas of Kentucky, Neil Websdale conducted his ethnographic research, and he situated the voices of rural battered women at the center of his ethnography.
