Network Analysis as a Method for Understanding the Dynamics of Natural Resource Management in Rural Communities
This article presents a methodological approach to identifying local social networks and discusses how these networks may be drawn upon to build consensus or acceptance of natural resource management plans. The article also presents a method for identifying local network structures, including quantitative analysis of the influence of these structures on community behavior. Network analysis provides additional information collected from community …
A Social Relationship Response to a Proposed Coal-Fired Power Plant: Network Theory and Community Change
Local community collective action has been identified as a key ingredient in community response to change. Network theorists suggest that the social network structure of a community impacts local capacity to adapt to change. This paper summarizes network theory and then draws upon a case study of a Western community where a proposed coal-fired power plant has created conflict over the environmental, aesthetic, economic, and quality-of-life implic…
Green Entrepreneurship: A Method for Managing Natural Resources
Globalization has often pushed aside the notion that business owners can use their businesses to create household income, influence community behaviors and values, and impact natural resource management. Here, we identify patterns of social awareness described by green entrepreneurs and how they may be drawn into the natural resource management process. We draw upon case studies of small “green” and “green-green” businesses to learn how they inco…
Introduction: Special Issue on Poverty and Community Development
There is something systematic about the way that poor households are distributed across the U.S. landscape: tends to concentrate in central city neighborhoods and remote rural communities. The highest rates in 2000 were found in central counties and in remote rural counties, and the lowest rates in the fringe counties of large metropolitan areas. (1) [FIGURE 1 OMITTED] Urban scholars have long recognized the importance of neighborhoods in shaping…
Community Leaders, Business Ownership, and Support of Entrepreneurship Development: The Role of Macroentrepreneurs
Macroentrepreneurs are community leaders with entrepreneurial experience and are likely to understand the problems of initiating business ventures within communities. Through their leadership role they are assumed to create a facilitative community1 entrepreneurship environment by helping develop the local social, economic, and physical infrastructure to benefit nascent and extant entrepreneurs and in turn the broader community. Also identified a…
Predicting Community Satisfaction among Rural Residents: An Integrative Model
Community satisfaction has often been linked to the level of satisfaction with a community's infrastructure, job opportunities, and social support networks. Yet most empirical analyses of community satisfaction have focused on only one aspect of the available theory to predict community satisfaction. In this paper we integrate multiple models to analyze community satisfaction of almost 4,000 rural Nebraskans. The integrated model indicates that s…
Against All Odds: Rural Community in the Information Age
Farming Practices and Adherence to an Alternative-Conventional Agricultural Paradigm1
Can a farmer's paradigmatic attitudes predict the actual production system used? Data on actual production practices were collected from a statewide random sample of agricultural producers in Nebraska and used to evaluate the research question. Findings suggest that a relationship does exist between production practices and world view, with specific attitudes related to agricultural production practices. These attitudes are especially salient whe…
