Village and Urbanization: Sociological Problems.
After discussing the different connotations of the term "urbanization" (e.g. population size and density, diffusion of attitudes and behavior, differentiation of social groups, etc.), the author defines it as a process of differentiation within a society. Three kinds of prescientific ideologies of urbanization may influence town-village relations, and because they may deform any analysis of the situation, they must be understood. Urbanization is considered in terms of space and includes all the complementary or conflictual relations existing between two socially differentiated groups of two spatial units, the town and the village. Urbanization can be economic (affecting production, exchange and consumption), cultural (such as the school system, the "folklorization" of local cultures) or political (the remodeling of territorial units: the commune, the department, the region). The creation and modeling of a space where a group can express itself is called urbanism; at the village level, the form it previously took is being changed or copied and deprived of its functions by urbanization. Finally, the author presents a typology of urbanization processes and characterizes urbanization not only by diversification, domination and organic and functional solidarity but also by development. Village urbanization is only part of town development, the constant reorganization of social spaces in all their dimensions. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
