Rural communities are those that reside out in the country. They have many general characteristics, such as: A small population size. A generally low population density.
- 15. RURAL In the rural areas the smallest area of habitation, viz., the village generally follows the limits of a revenue village that is recognised by the normal district administration. The revenue village need not necessarily be a single agglomeration of the habitations. But the revenue village has a definite surveyed boundary and each village is a separate administrative unit with separate village accounts. It may have one or more hamlets. The entire revenue village is one unit. There may be unsurveyed villages within forests etc., where the locally recognised boundaries of each habitation area is followed within the larger unit of say the forest range officers jurisdiction.

It is a normative discipline of sociology seeking to study the structures, environmental processes, changes and problems of an urban area and by doing so provide inputs for urban planning and policy making. The importance of this field of study is to understand the institutions and structures that make up a metropolitan area so as to work with policy makers to solve social problems in urban areas It concerns the dynamism of society stimulated by urbanization. It tends to identify the urban problems and implement possible remedies to solve them. It is a factual study of urban social living Rural sociology is a field of sociology traditionally associated with the study of social structure and conflict in rural areas although topical areas such as food and agriculture or natural resource access transcend traditional rural spatial boundaries It deals with the systematic study of Rural Society, its institutions, activities interactions, social change etc. Rural sociology is centered on the rural community life. Thus, rural sociology has been specially designed to study the rural phenomena and it is a systematic study of the varied aspects of the rural society. It is the study of the rural social networks and how they operate for the smooth functioning of the society Urban sociology Rural sociology
