Villages and Migrants: How Rural Youths Perceive their Native Environment when away from Home.
This article shows how migrants of rural communes relate to their former environment, how they feel, judge, live that surrounding. Instead of considering the visible topographical features that can be observed by the geographer, the author decides to concentrate on the intangible ties that bind a person to his home, attempting to define an individual or collective sense of belonging and to discover what attitudes and behaviour it may imply. Data for this study were taken from informal group talks with rural youths arriving for a period of professional training in regional centers. One hundred and one compositions written by these students on the subject "My Commune" where also analyzed, and excerpts from them are often cited to make the reader more aware of the ideas and feelings of rural inhabitants. One can experience one's environment on many different levels ; four of these, considered to be the most essential, are treated in detail — physical, social, economic, and cultural. The motives prompting youths to enroll for professional training are discussed, as are the ways in which leaving home modified their perception of their native environment.
