The synergy between rural and urban values is depicted as the source for local and global sustainability. This paper asserts that the folklore tradition of the rural people of Bangladesh promotes sustainability through their respect for nature, spiritual education and the common future of generations. Such values are embedded in the country’s economy, schools, media and other institutions where these messages are taught, articulated and promoted. The positive spiritual dispositions of rural people in Bangladesh towards natural calamities allow them to interpret such events as nature's tools for managing sustainable liveability. Bangladeshi rural communities also enjoy self-reliant living without destroying the country's base of natural resources in contrast to the city dwellers. Thus, the paper aims to establish that the implements for achieving global sustainability could be embedded in “rural modernization” – a way of blending rural values and folklore in city life.

This chapter reveals the common theme three rural Minnesota communities used in their collaboration efforts in to install and deliver broadband Internet as a municipal utility. The author discovered that the reason for this broadband initiative was a municipal motivator, unique to each city and not related to economic development. It is hoped that other rural communities in search of high-speed Internet, after having digested the results of this study, might conduct their own research in order to determine their true, underlying motivation for delivering improved Internet service. By agreeing on the motivator for each community, local leaders are better able to collaborate on achieving this common goal.

Phacochoerus Africanus

The common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) has historically been hunted and consumed by rural communities throughout its distribution range in Africa. This study aims to develop a processed product from warthog meat in the form of back bacon (Longissimus thoracis et lumborum) as a healthy alternative meat product and to determine its chemical and sensory characteristics derived from adult and juvenile boars and sows. The highest scored attributes included typical bacon and smoky aroma and flavor, and salty flavor, as well as tenderness and juiciness. Neither sex nor age influenced the bacon’s chemical composition; the bacon was high in protein (~29%) and low in total fat (<2%). Palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0), linoleic (C18:2ω6), oleic (C18:1ω9c), and arachidonic (C20:4ω6) were the dominant fatty acids. There was an interaction between sex and age for the PUFA:SFA ratio (p = 0.01). The differences between sex and age class are considered negligible regarding the overall profile and healthiness of the bacon.

Traditional sociological theory explains that a rural community is an enclosed unit. China’s fast modernization and urbanization, however, display a rather different phenomenon, where rural communities are changing into open communities, which face the dual task of rebuilding internal relations and expanding external resources. Based on this background and practical cognition, the theoretical framework of the ‘new rural communitas’ is proposed, which expands the common enclosed relationships in traditional rural communities into new, open co-construction relationships with endogenous power as core, government power as support, and social power as coordination, emphasizing the full cooperation of these three types of power. On the basis of the theory, this article employs the practice of the rural regeneration policy in Taiwan as an empirical case, and analyzes how these three types of power affect and cooperate with each other. Furthermore, interviews have been conducted with local community members, government officers, and social participants in three communities in Taiwan to give examples of three different types of new rural communitas. Finally, several suggestions toward constructing new rural communitas are discussed.   Abstrak. Teori tradisional dalam sosiologi menjelaskan bahwa komunitas perdesaan adalah unit yang tertutup. Modernisasi dan urbanisasi cepat yang terjadi di China menampilkan fenomena yang sedikit berbeda, dimana komunitas perdesaan berubah menjadi komunitas yang terbuka yang menghadapi tugas ganda membangun kembali hubungan internal dan memperluas sumber daya eksternal. Berdasarkan latar belakang dan kognisi praktis ini, kerangka teoritis ‘komunitas perdesaan baru’ diusulkan, sehingga dapat memperluas hubungan tertutup bersama dalam komunitas perdesaan tradisional menjadi hubungan ko-kontruksi baru yang terbuka dengan kekuatan endogen sebagai inti, kekuatan pemerintah sebagai pendukung, dan kekuasaan social sebagai koordinasi serta menekankan kerjasama penuh dari ketiga jenis kekuasaan tersebut. Berdasarkan teori tersebut, artikel ini menggunakan praktik kebijakan regenerasi perdesaan di Taiwan sebagai kasus empiris, dan menganalisis bagaimana ketiga jenis kekuasaan ini saling mempengaruhi dan bekerja sama. Selanjutnya, wawancara telah dilakukan dengan anggota masyarakat setempat, pejabat pemerintah, dan peserta sosial di tiga komunitas di Taiwan untuk memberikan contoh tiga jenis komunitas perdesaan baru yang berbeda. Akhirnya, beberapa  saran untuk membangun komunitas perdesaan baru juga dibahas.   Kata kunci. Komunitas perdesaan, komunitas, regenerasi perdesaan, Cina, Taiwan.

Agricultural Policy Reform

Agriculture represents without any debate a fundamental economic sector, with significant implication in achieving not only the food safety standards for a growing population, but also in promoting rural communities' cultural values and providing good living standards and revenues for farmers and rural population. In this context the evolution of agricultural production structures represent a major concern for all decision-makers involved in this sector. Achieving competitive results in valuing the agricultural potential impose a great convergence between inland agricultural policies and the Common Agricultural Policy in order to integrate the best measures in designing an economically efficient agricultural structure. The chapter aims to analyze the evolution of some of the agricultural production structures under the Common Agricultural Policy reform and the pressure to adapt and achieve the most functional decision in a better valorization of the inland agricultural potential.

The common fly (Musca domestica L.) is a mechanical vector and can be a biological vector through ingestion and regurgitation. In rural communities is common to observe numerous populations of this, consequence of multiple unsanitary sites. The present study was carried out in order to identify the species of bacteria and parasites with medical importance present in the common fly, captured in homes and microhabitats (chicken coops, pigsty and backyards) in homes of the community of Cholul, Cantamayec. 20 species of bacteria were identified: E. coli (41.78%) was the most frequent species in all processed flies. In turn, households (45.20%) were the place where the greatest amount of bacterial species was isolated, being E. coli (42.42%), the frequent species, in the same way in pigsty (45.65%), chicken coops (38.09%) and backyards (30.76%). Regarding the enteroparasites identified from the digestive cavity of flies, Endolimax nana (38.46%) was the frequent cyst and Ascaris lumbricoides (15.38%), the only nematode found. In turn, the pigsty (n = 5) was the site with the highest number of isolated enteroparasites. The results obtained show that flies carry pathogens that could be involved in human infections ofcommunity origin.

The Revolution

The historiography of the Peasants' War is currently dominated by Peter Blickle's The Revolution of 1525. Blickle builds upon Günther Franz's Der deutsche Bauernkrieg, long the standard history of the Peasants' War. Blickle uses the concept of “the Revolution of the Common Man” to describe the Peasants' War. The common men in both the towns and villages were united in a revolutionary effort to establish the “communal Reformation.” Blickle writes: “Evangelical doctrine gripped urban and rural communities alike, and the lay community claimed the right to decide right doctrine.… Thus, the Reformation's dependence on community erased the barriers between urban and rural communities, between burghers and peasants.”

<p>ABSTRACT<br />The development of carbon-based society is one of the contemporary issues that offers a form of environmental and human collaboration respirokal also functional in controlling the risks of climate change.However, its not easy to introduce the issue of carbon to the livelihood systems of rural communities. In it, found a variety of problems, from technical aspects to non-technical. This study was constructed to answer these issues in the wider framework to mitigate climate change by carbon credits in two different locations, namely in the Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) and Jambi. For the case of DIY, carbon trading scheme, which is based on the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) still pose a constraint on the aspect of “legalization” and “market”. Besides the licensing process and the disharmony between institutions vertically led to increasingly complex problems. As for the case in Jambi Province, the forest is seriously threatened by forest fires and property issues (tragedy of the common), the lack of public knowledge about the functioning of Forest Park (TAHURA) causes some people consider the forest and the free open access to be entered.In another side, the TAHURA is one potential area that has a large enough carbon stocks as the area of climate change mitigation. This research is ultimately going to map out the problems and calculate the economic contribution obtained by the public, as well as changes in the structure of living in two locations with two carbon initiatives of community-based schemes are different.<br />Keywords: mitigation of climate change, carbon emissions, the development of community-based carbon, a living structure, sociology of rural living</p><p>ABSTRAK<br />Pengembangan karbon berbasis masyarakat merupakan salah satu isu kontemporeryang menawarkan bentuk kolaborasi manusia dan lingkungan yang respirokal juga fungsional dalam upaya pengendalian resiko perubahan iklim.Namun, tidak mudah memperkenalkan isu karbon ke dalam sistem penghidupan masyarakat pedesaan. Di dalamnya,ditemukanberbagai permasalahan, dari aspek teknis hingga non-teknis. Penelitian ini dikonstruksikan untuk menjawabberbagai persoalan tersebut dalam kerangka besar mitigasi perubahan iklim via kredit karbon di dua lokasi yang berbeda, yakni di Provinsi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) dan Provinsi Jambi. Untuk kasus di DIY, skema perdagangan karbon yang berlandaskan pada Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) masih menimbulkan kendala pada aspek “legalisasi” dan “pasar”. Selain itu proses perizinan dan disharmoni antar lembaga secara vertikal menyebabkan persoalan semakin kompleks. Sedangkan untuk kasus di Provinsi Jambi, hutan pada saat ini sangat terancam dengan kebakaran hutansertapersoalan properti (tragedy of the common), minimnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang fungsi Taman Hutan Raya (TAHURA) menyebabkan sebagian masyarakat menganggap kawasan hutan tersebut open access dan bebas untuk dimasuki.Di sisi lain, kawasan TAHURA merupakan salah satu kawasan potensial yang memiliki cadangan karbon yang cukup besar sebagai kawasan mitigasi perubahan iklim. Penelitian ini pada akhirnya hendak memetakan permasalahan dan mengkalkulasikan kontribusi ekonomi yang diperoleh oleh masyarakat, serta perubahan struktur nafkah di dua lokasi dengan dua skema inisiatif karbon berbasis masyarakat yang berbeda.<br />Kata kunci: mitigasi perubahan iklim, emisi karbon, pengembangan karbon berbasis masyarakat, struktur nafkah, sosiologi nafkah pedesaa</p>

And Migration

Rural areas in many parts of the U.S. experience population decline from outmigration. Geographic mobility has long been a contributing factor to the social and economic instability of rural communities; high-achieving and ambitious youth are inclined to leave rural areas to take advantage of the expansive economic opportunities and cultural and lifestyle amenities typically found in metropolitan locations. Here I review 20 years of research on rural population loss and migration theory to anticipate how patterns of rural youth mobility might intersect with the Common Core State Standards’ emphasis on preparing high-school students to be career and college ready. Given that the migration decisions of rural youth stem from a complex process that includes a range of social, economic, cultural, and environmental factors, I argue that certain types of rural communities are likely to be more strongly affected by the Common Core as are certain types of rural youth.
