What Makes Rural Communities Tick?

Sonya Salamon

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1989, vol. 05, issue 3

Abstract: Settlement patterns and cultural beliefs help explain how people relate to their communities and how concepts of community can differ. These factors play a role in how communities adjust to change. In the Midwest, for example, they suggest why many communities populated by descendants of Germans evolved differently from others populated by "Yankees" of British descent.
