Sociology and the Environment
Using content analysis, this research examines the impact of the first 25 years of environmental sociology research on current introductory sociology textbooks. The investigators searched the texts for 40 key concepts in environmental sociology and for the inclusion of works by 20 award-winning environmental sociologists. On average, the texts cited 7 of the 40 key concepts. Eliminating multiple citations to a page, the total number of pages cite…
The Effect of Absentee Ownership on Local Employment Change
To determine whether absentee-owned firms destabilize local economies, we examine the relationship between absentee ownership of manufacturing companies and employment change in manufacturing for 109 Pennsylvania towns. This issue arises because some earlier studies find that corporate connections through absentee-owned firms are positively related to local employment growth, whereas other work claims that locally owned operations are more stable…
Courting Lulus
This research examines nonmetropolitan places most likely to support or oppose proposals for locally undesirable land uses (LULUs) involving waste management facilities. Two hypotheses are tested: (1) that relatively remote communities of lower socioeconomic status will be less likely to oppose such proposals; and (2) that support for such proposals is widespread among nonmetropolitan communities because of growth machine activities. Using key in…
Public accountability in non-profit industrial development organisations
Les organisations de développement industriel à but non lucratif constituent une réaction courante mais jusqu’ici peu étudiée au phénomène, très répandu aux USA, de la désindustrialisation. Ces organisations peuvent être des sociétés enregistrées en tant que corporation à but non lucratif ou bien des agences sous l’égide des pouvoirs publics ou des collectivités locales. La plupart d’entre elles bénéficient, au moins partiellement, d’un financeme…

The rock, the beach, and the tidal pool
Explaining why poverty exists in natural resource‐dependent areas (NRDAs) presents a formidable challenge, given variability in the nature, spatial manifestations, and social character of human well‐being. Nonetheless, there are structures and processes unique to NRDAs, including resource degradation, increasingly restrictive public land use policies, concentrated land ownership, and high rates of occupational injury that create the potential for…

Introduction
Past Activeness, Solidarity, and Local Development Efforts1
Actions by local groups and leaders constitute an essential but poorly understood element of many rural development strategies. Previous studies suggest that local development efforts can influence community change, but questions remain about why localities differ in mobilization to achieve development goals. Drawing upon community field theory and human ecology, this study uses data for rural school districts in Pennsylvania to examine the argum…
Growth Promotion Activities in Rural Areas
Can leaders in small towns and surrounding areas actually influence local economic and demographic growth? Competing views but few studies of this issue characterize recent debates about the effects of 'growth machines' in local areas. This paper uses alternative indicators of growth during the 1980s for a sample of local areas in rural Pennsylvania to examine the effects of development efforts, controlling ecological and structural characteristi…

Industrial Development Organizations and the Local Dependence Hypothesis
Local Industrial Development Groups
Local industrial development groups (LIDGs) are often among the most visible organizations involved in community economic development. LIDGs annually spend billions of dollars directly or indirectly in various promotional and community improvement efforts. Yet relatively little is known about their organizational forms, their operating strategies, or their real impact on the economic development of communities. The study reported here was underta…
Using Key Informant Data in Comparative Community Research
Among the obstacles confronting community researchers are difficulties in conducting comparative research involving more than a small number of communities. This is especially true when research is directed toward investigations of social processes and actions that cannot reasonably be tapped using available secondary data sources. One potential approach to resolving this dilemma involves the collection of information on social processes and acti…

The Sociology of the Growth/No‐growth Debate
This theoretical analysis focuses on the properties of conservative, liberal, and radical paradigms in social science and their application to the growth/no‐growth debate in environmental policy literature. We find conservatives working with an evolutionary model of society which suggests that environmental problems are imperfections to be remedied by science, technology, and the free market. Liberals recognize the benefits and costs of growth, a…
Assimilation and Voting Behavior
Assimilation and Voting Behavior
This research examines the role of ethnicity in the voting behavior of GreekAmericans residing in a metropolitan community of the southeastern United States. More specifically, it focuses on intergenerational differences in the rela? tionship between ethnicity ? the feeling of we-ness among an immigrant group ? and ethnic voting, here defined as support of an ethnic candidate and traditional affiliation with a political party. Such a relationship…
The Integration of Black Residents in Suburban Neighborhoods
As blacks move into the suburbs, residential integration becomes relevant to sociological analysis. Previous research shows interracial contact in desegrated urban housing projects dispels racial animosity and aides integration. Racially mixed suburban neighborhoods, however, are unlike housing projects, so the contact hypothesis may not apply. This survey of white suburbanites indicates significant positive relationships between socioeconomic st…
