Understanding Rural Community and Community Activities

Abstract

Traditionally, community activities have been thougt of either in terms of the community disorganization theory or the community organization theory. But, in fact, some community activities have the function of organization, while others that of disorganization. Therefore, a sociological approach which considers the functions of both organization and disorganization of rural communities must be formed.
In this ariticle, we attempt to constitute a new approach to community activities by the application of C.S. Fischer's subcultural theory of urbanism.
