The Manifestation of Neighborhood Effects: A Pattern for Community Growth
Neighborhood effects, or the development of community by neighborhoods, are often studied in an urban context. Previous research has neglected to examine the influence of neighborhoods in nonurban settings. Our case study, however, contributes to the existing literature as it takes place in a small, rural-to-urban town at an important point in time where the town was urbanizing. We find that neighborhood effects also influence community satisfact…
Migration and Mental Health in the Aftermath of Disaster: Evidence from Mt. Merapi, Indonesia
Migration is a standard survival strategy in the context of disasters. While prior studies have examined factors associated with return migration following disasters, an area that remains relatively underexplored is whether moving home to one's original community results in improved health and well-being compared to other options such as deciding to move on. In the present study, our objective is to explore whether return migration, compared to o…
Community as Story and the Dynamic Nature of Community: Perceptions, Place, and Narratives about Change
We present a theoretical discussion conceptualizing "community as story"-narratives that create and recreate one's definition of and relationship to their community. We use a variety of disciplinary sources and representative quotes to help develop the theory. In so doing, we discuss the importance of subjective perception, narrative and place to the creation of a community story. Community stories take place in time and place, and as changes to …
Overcoming Geographic Penalties of Inequality
Geographic isolation and spatial inequality are growing issues for most countries. However, distance-demolishing technologies have been proposed as a solution of overcoming geographic barriers associated with geographic penalties. This research uses the rapid and widespread adoption of inexpensive motorcycles in Vietnam as a case study of how distance-demolishing technologies can improve household well-being. Utilising panel data from the 2004, 2…
Cultural Antecedents to Community: An Evaluation of Community Experience in the United States, Thailand, and Vietnam
To what extent does community experience differ between low context and high context societies? Prior literature theorizes that community experience consists of two separate, yet highly related concepts: community attachment , an individual's general rootedness to a place, and community satisfaction , how well an individual's community meets their societal needs. We test this conceptualization of community experience across communities in the US …
From mass consumer society to a society of consumers: Consumption and the experience of community in late modernity
Many scholars argue that consumption of goods and services has eclipsed the local community as the locus of contact between the individual and society. Residents of two Mississippi Delta communities, in 1996 and again in 2007, were asked how often they shopped for consumable items outside of their communities. Logistic regression demonstrates a significant interaction effect between year and outshopping such that outshopping was positively associ…
Communities of Place? New Evidence for the Role of Distance and Population Size in Community Attachment
Historically, ecological features of a community, such as population size, were considered fundamental aspects of the community experience. Yet methodological advances and the rise of globalization have challenged many classical assumptions rooted in the ecological tradition. Using recent data-the Montana Health Matters Study 2010 (N = 3,508)-we explore whether community attachment links with distance and population size in Montana. Surprisingly,…
Making Sense of Community Action and Voluntary Participation-A Multilevel Test of Multilevel Hypotheses: Do Communities Act
To what extent does community context influence individuals' proclivity to participate in community-oriented activities and projects? In this article we utilize survey data from residents of 99 Iowa communities to conduct a multilevel analysis of voluntary participation and community action, simultaneously addressing voluntary participation at the individual level and 'community action' at the community level. Additionally, we test the suggestion…
Community and Resource Extraction in Rural America
Learning from psychology: Concepts to develop citizens who thrive
In this article, I argue that modern psychology can make a valuable contribution to citizenship education. I present some key themes from research on human thriving and argue that they should be central to developing self-directed, resilient, altruistic citizens. The article includes language and analogies that educators can use to make the key concepts memorable. I also draw on recent research on engaging employees in the business world and sugg…
Olympic Boomtown: The Social Impacts of a One-Time Mega-Event in Utah's Heber Valley
We extend the research on the individual and community-level impacts of rapid growth development (boomtowns) to include communities that have been affected by a short-term, yet large-scale “mega-event”—the Olympics. Testing the assumption of generic similarities of social impacts between these two types of communities, we examined longitudinal survey data from six survey years (between 1999 through 2003, and 2007), gathered in Utah's Heber Valley…
SOS-Satisfied or Stuck, Why Older Rural Residents Stay Put: Aging in Place or Stuck in Place in Rural Utah
As rural communities undergo substantial demographic and economic changes, understanding the migration intentions and their antecedents of rural elderly persons becomes increasingly important. Using data drawn from a survey of adults from 24 rural Utah communities conducted in 2008, we examine whether rural residents 60 years of age or older plan to remain in their present communities (N= 621). We use structural equation models (SEM) to estimate …

A Multilevel Systemic Model of Community Attachment: Assessing the Relative Importance of the Community and Individual Levels
To what extent does community context affect individuals' social ties and levels of community attachment? The authors replicate Sampson's multilevel version of Kasarda and Janowitz's systemic model of community using data from a survey of nearly 10,000 people residing in 99 small Iowa communities. They improve on Sampson's work by using multilevel statistical tools, better measurement of community attachment, and data from 99 actual communities. …
Community Theory: Current Perspectives and Future Directions
Recently, a variety of debates and discussions (particularly occurring during and after the Community Development Society and Rural Sociological Society meetings in 2006) concerning the current state of community theory have pointed to the need to explore the issue more systematically. In response, this special issue of Community Development. Journal of the Community Development Society brings together a wide range of theoretical and empirical ar…
Globally Embedded Community: Satisfaction and Attachment in Vance, Alabama
Community, as an imagined representation of a social collectivity, is necessarily dynamic and subjective. In the contemporary globalized world, rapid structural changes provide an opportunity to evaluate the extent to which structure and subjectivity interact to create particular patterns of community life. Using multiple regression analysis of data from Vance, Alabama, which suddenly entered the global arena with the announcement and constructio…
The impact of body mass index and Western advertising and media on eating style, body image and nutrition transition among Jordanian women
Objectives To identify the impact of body mass index (BMI) and Western advertising and media on the stage of the nutrition transition among Jordanian women, and to evaluate their impact on eating styles and body image. Design A randomised cross-sectional survey that included a variety of culturally measured Likert-type scales and body size images. In addition, BMI was calculated based on measured height and weight. Setting In the homes of the par…
The Boom‐Bust‐Recovery Cycle: Dynamics of Change in Community Satisfaction and Social Integration in Delta, Utah
To better understand the long‐term effects of rapid boom growth, we reexamine four subjective indicators of community satisfaction and social integration in Delta, Utah, that were originally analyzed by Brown, Geertsen, and Krannich in 1989. With 24 years of longitudinal data, we find that within approximately a decade of the boom period three of the four indicators returned to or exceeded pre‐boom levels. We argue that we need to modify our theo…

Local flexibility in spending mitigation monies: A case study of successful social impact mitigation of the Intermountain Power Project in Delta, Utah
In 1978, an SIA, focusing on needs assessment and identification of attitudes, was conducted in the Delta, Utah (USA) region because of the proposed large coal-fired power plant which significantly altered the local physical, economic, and social environment. Local and plant officials developed a mitigation plan. Over $100 million was allocated to mitigation with considerable local control in spending the money. Longitudinal data collected prior …
Separate family and community realities? An urban-rural comparison of the association between family life satisfaction and community satisfaction
Classical and contemporary statements about family and community suggest mutually reinforcing connections between these two life domains. However, in their search for greater niche building, scholars have largely overlooked such links because of their adherence to specific traditions. This article considers the public-private sphere debate, a tradition associated primarily with family studies. This tradition holds that individuals experience life…
Lifestyle Options and Economic Strategies: Subsistence Activities in the Mississippi Delta1
Subsistence' and 'informal economy' are contrasted in their utility as sociological concepts and their ability to explain a variety of activities in two rural Mississippi Delta communities. Literature on subsistence stresses that the desired outcome of participation is not an increase in income but the social rewards of participation itself. Two underlying dimensions of participation in these activities are documented through the literature and t…
Racial and gender meanings of why people participate in recreational fishing
This article explores the meanings associated with why people fish as a leisure pursuit. Comparisons are drawn across gender and racial groups. Exploratory factor analyses reveal a mosaic of race‐ and gender‐based meanings assigned to fishing. The most marked differences are present between racial groups, although gender contributed conceptually to meaning structures. More similarities than differences in meanings are present among anglers. The r…

Rural Community Satisfaction and Attachment in Mass Consumer Society1
Previous models of community satisfaction and attachment have not included personal economic attitudes and behaviors as independent variables. Their inclusion is theoretically justified when residents of communities are viewed as consumers in a larger social/economic context first and residents of a particular community second. As locally-oriented economic processes-once part of the community experience-were removed to nonlocal markets, local eco…

The Social Networks of Leaders in More and Less Viable Rural Communities1
The relationship between the social networks of leaders and community viability is examined in a comparative study of leaders (N = 75) in five rural communities (population range, 1,000 to 2,500). The analysis looks at leaders' connections to organizations outside of their communities and at different kinds of linkages between leaders within their respective communities. Leaders in more and less viable communities do not differ much in characteri…
