	Talk:Exurb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I suppose some rural folks may think of medium-density suburbs as "too crowded", so there is a POV issue here.
		Exurbs tend to be populated by people that work in the city and bring their capital home to spend on local services, thus retaining the urban connections that are characteristically severed by the more recent developments called by the US Census Bureau "micropolises".
		Exurbs are commonly viewed as the only rural communities which are directly benefiting from the rural exodus.

		To provide rural people with access to this resource, comparative law offers a whole range of possibilities that can be grouped under two headings, according to whether their purpose is merely to guarantee rural communities a share in forest resources or whether it is to involve them in the creation and management of such resources.
		Rural communities can be given their rights by means of a contract concluded with the State or by the State's unilateral authorization: in all cases, rights are subject to the forest administration's control.
		Whether rural communities are merely allowed to share forest products or whether they manage and exploit them, they will always need a national forest service to safeguard the resource and to guide their activities.

	Module IV: Gender, Migration, Farming Systems & Land Tenure
		Surprisingly, even though rural exodus is known to be triggered by land degradation, extant literature tends to focus on the area of destination, viewing migration as a process of urbanization, rather than from the point of origin and destination.
		This is partly because distinguishing rural and urban development and urban and rural inhabitants is statistically convenient: "Persons belong or do not belong to the urban (or the rural) category: there is no intermediate state and as a result the notion of the distance between the categories tends to be ignored.
		Conversely, rural out-migration patterns tend to be predominantly male in all countries of Africa, parts of Asia and the Pacific, and the Near East.

		The first signs of rural turnaround came in the 1970s, when population in the nation's sparsely populated regions suddenly jumped 14 percent, lifted by an unprecedented influx of newcomers and returnees from metropolitan areas.
		The emptying out of the countryside, the swelling of the cities, the rise of the suburbs, and the decline of the urban cores as centers of population and economic activity all define important parts of the economic and social history of the 20th century.
		Still other rural migrants are returning to areas where they were born, now that jobs are available, wanting to raise their children in the kind of atmosphere they enjoyed as youngsters.

	AGRARIAN REFORM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Today there is a consensus that rural development policy should include both agrarian reform and the strengthening of small property ownership and of family agriculture, as well as the creation of more employment and better income opportunities in the countryside.
		The result was a massive exodus of small proprietors and rural workers from the countryside to the cities.
		The policy of resettling the landless could become ineffective if it fails to reverse the rural exodus of the small farmers; it won't be able to compete with the process of de-settlement which, in practice, is a reversal of agrarian reform.

	Expatica's French news in English: A French countryside revolution
		The French rural exodus is now in reverse, a government report reveals, as the countryside increasingly attracts townsfolk — and expatriate retirees.
		Quashing the long-held image of a rural exodus steadily draining the provinces of farmers and artisans, the 2003 study by the Delegation for Territorial Development and Regional Action (DATAR) says that since 1990 the number of new arrivals far outweighs the countryside's natural population decline.
		With the number of people employed in farming continuing to fall, these zones are seen as vital for the regeneration of the "espace rurale" — an issue of high political importance in a country where much of the public remains strongly attached to its rural roots.

		Rural unemployment resulting from rapid population growth and the mechanization of agricultural processes has been identified as the leading cause of rural-to-urban migration, especially in Latin America.

		The demographic context of agricultural and rural development programmed (including land/tenure and farming systems programmes) needs to be recognized as an important variable that can play a critical role to their success and sustainability.
