Abstract

Excerpts from the report: The rapid expansion of metropolitan areas in the last two decades has brought great changes to the surrounding countryside. However, little is known about the situation in rural areas as the process of urbanization occurs. How does the farmer in a rural area on the edge of suburbanization view urbanization? What problems does he foresee for himself and his farm neighbors? What role in meeting these problems does he see for his local government? What alternatives has he considered? What possibilities do farmers have of providing cohesive leadership of the rural community at this stage in the process of urbanization? The study reported was undertaken in an attempt to answer some of these questions. It describes the situation in a rural township on the edge of an expanding metropolitan area before any of the more serious problems of urbanization had arisen.
