What is meant by rural urban dichotomy |
|
Answer» The demographic distinction between urban and rural in terms of residential population has limited value. With increased local MOBILITY, social and economic space no longer coincides with residence. For economic purposes EMPLOYMENT is the relevant CRITERION. Concentrations of employment are urban places. Types of employment determine the character of SETTLEMENTS, and the AMOUNT of nucleated employment measures their economic size. No such simple index exists for sociocultural purposes. |
