Résumé anglais Urbanization and Rural Life in Romania. Various processes of "urbanization", "deruralization", and "modernization" are responsible for the changes occurring rapidly in rural Romania. Intense urban industrialization has not only incited peasants seeking employment to move permanently into town but has also created urban zones peripheral to urban centers; the villages of these zones, by supplying daily labor for urban industries and by adapting to the demands of urban markets, have improved their standard of living. The modernization of agricultural techniques and the creation of farming cooperatives have altered both the composition of the rural population and the structure of the agricultural family. Direct cultural action, on the part of the government, through mass media, alphabetization programs and required education, is responsible for the "deruralization" of even remote regions. The disparities between towns and villages are disappearing, not because villages are becoming towns but because they no longer suffer from social and economic underdevelopment. The author concludes by explaining his program for experimentally isolating the diverse factors contributing to village modernization.
