Urban Appropriation of the Countryside for Leisure Activities.
The urbanization of certain rural agglomerations is the result of their transformation into winter or seaside resorts; now other country areas, although they lack skiing or bathing facilities, are also beginning to attract urban visitors. The author of this article points out how the development of tourism and leisure activities in rural surroundings enforce town economic and social ascendancy, and he outlines the major phases leading to urban appropriation of the countryside. First rural society takes the initiative in adapting to urban demands, but as these demands become more exigent, urban promoters and contractors assume the financial and technical responsibilities of transforming the contryside. Once the practice of tourism and leisure activities is well established, certain changes occur in rural social organization. These modifications, which are politically and culturally as well as economically motivated, create two opposing groups: the producers and consumers of "leisure" and those of "non-leisure" (farmers, industrials, craftsmen).
