The 1980Census of Population shows that the nonmetropolitan population increased by 15.4010 during the 1970s, while the metropolitan population grew by only 9.1010. During the 1960s, rural areas and small towns had lost some 2.8 million people to cities and their suburbs, but during the 1970s at least 4 million more people moved into nonmetropolitan areas than left them. This rural oriented population growth resulted from a number of factors, including a strong preference for rural and small-town living, the decentralization of manufacturing and related services,energyand other mining developments, William E.

Book Description
Evidence from the public health sector demonstrates that health care is only one of the determinants of health, which also include genes, behavior, social factors, and the built environment. These contextual elements are key to understanding why health care organizations are motivated to focus beyond their walls and to consider and respond in unprecedented ways to the social needs of patients, including transportation needs. In June 2016 the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a joint workshop to explore partnerships, data, and measurement at the intersection of the health care and transportation sectors. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Revitalization of Small Communities

ISBN:
Category : Developing countries
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
This study of rural small towns in the final quarter of the twentieth century is an example of futures research, a technology assessment, and a policy analysis. As futures research, it tries to sum up long-range trends affecting rural small towns and their potential functions in a period when the nation is making a sometimes difficult transition into post-industrial society. As a technology assessment, the study is concerned with the role which transportation has played, and will play, in the vitality, growth, or decline of rural communities and the quality of life experienced by their residents. Technology assessment is a subset of the larger field of policy research and analysis. The study is intended to inform and support the process of formulation of transportation policy as it relates to small towns and rural areas.
