Summary

LECTURE ONE: THE CONCEPT OF RURAL SOCIOLOGY

What is rural sociology?
In every part of the world, particularly in predominantly rural based societies, there is growing consciousness that unless villages are uplifted and developed there cannot be any real national level advancement.

It is the village which is the economic base of industrial development and preserver and protector of ancient civilization and cultural heritage. This is the reason why the study of Rural Sociology is assuming profound importance day-by-day.
For one to understand Rural Sociology, it is important to understand what the terms rural
and Sociology mean.

What is Rural?
Rural areas are usually defined in many ways in different countries with regard to different perspectives:
Population or statistical definition
The U.S. Census Bureau in 1950 classifies an area as rural if it has fewer than 2,500 residents—a definition established early in the 20th century. Most other developed countries utilize this definition. Persons who live in the country or towns of less than 2,500 people are said to be rural.
Practice of agriculture
Areas largely dedicated to agricultural production and landscape
Degree of isolation from or inability to participate in the programs of larger society Access to services such as: Level of Education, quality of medical services, employment, Transportation and social services.

Administration definition
The area that is not the capital or center is considered rural

Sociology
This is the scientific study of people in group relations. Sociologists use scientific

Methods in their research studies to develop a body of accurate and reliable knowledge about human relationships.
Sociology is scientific and is concerned with people not as individuals but as members or groups.
