rural flight

Examples of rural flight in the following topics:

• The Process of Urbanization

  • Urbanization is the process of a population shift from rural areas to cities, often motivated by economic factors.
  • Urbanization is the process of a population shift from rural areas to cities.
  • Another term for urbanization is "rural flight. " In modern times, this flight often occurs in a region following the industrialization of agriculture—when fewer people are needed to bring the same amount of agricultural output to market—and related agricultural services and industries are consolidated.
  • Rural flight is exacerbated when the population decline leads to the loss of rural services (such as business enterprises and schools), which leads to greater loss of population as people leave to seek those features.
  • Over time, the world's population has become less rural and more urban.

• Urbanization

  • Percentage of population which is urbanized, by country, as of 2005.As more and more people leave villages and farms to live in cities, urban growth results.The rapid growth of cities like Chicago in the late 19th century and Mumbai a century later can be attributed largely to rural-urban migration and the demographic transition.This kind of growth is especially commonplace in developing countries.
  • The United States and United Kingdom have a far higher urbanization level than China, India, Swaziland or Niger, but a far slower annual urbanization rate, since much less of the population is living in a rural area.
  • People move into cities to seek economic opportunities.A major contributing factor is known as "rural flight".In rural areas, often on small family farms, it is difficult to improve one's standard of living beyond basic sustenance.Farm living is dependent on unpredictable environmental conditions, and in times of drought, flood or pestilence, survival becomes extremely problematic.In modern times, industrialization of agriculture has negatively affected the economy of small and middle-sized farms and strongly reduced the size of the rural labour market.Cities, in contrast, are known to be places where money, services and wealth are centralized.Cities are where fortunes are made and where social mobility is possible.Businesses, which generate jobs and capital, are usually located in urban areas.Whether the source is trade or tourism, it is also through the cities that foreign money flows into a country.Thus, as with immigration generally, there are factors that push people out of rural areas and pull them into urban areas.
  • There are also better basic services as well as other specialist services in urban areas that aren't found in rural areas.
  • Different forms of urbanization can be classified depending on the style of architecture and planning methods as well as historic growth of areas.In cities of the developed world urbanization traditionally exhibited a concentration of human activities and settlements around the downtown area.Recent developments, such as inner-city redevelopment schemes, mean that new arrivals in cities no longer necessarily settle in the centre.In some developed regions, the reverse effect, originally called counter urbanisation has occurred, with cities losing population to rural areas, and is particularly common for richer families.This has been possible because of improved communications and means of transportation, and has been caused by factors such as the fear of crime and poor urban environments.Later termed "white flight", the effect is not restricted to cities with a high ethnic minority population.When the residential area shifts outward, this is called suburbanization.Some research suggests that suburbanization has gone so far to form new points of concentration outside the downtown both in developed and developing countries such as India.

• The Rural Rebound

  • The rural rebound refers to the movement away from cities to rural and suburban areas.
  • Rather than moving to rural areas, most participants in the so-called the rural rebound migrated into new, rapidly growing suburbs.
  • Sociologists have posited many explanations for counterurbanization, but one of the most debated is whether suburbanization is driven by white flight.
  • White flight during this period contributed to urban decay, a process whereby a city, or part of a city, falls into disrepair and decrepitude.
  • White flight contributed to the draining of cities' tax bases when middle-class people left, exacerbating urban decay caused in part by the loss of industrial and manufacturing jobs as they moved into rural areas or overseas where labor was cheaper.

• Shrinking Cities and Counter-Urbanization

  • Counterurbanization is movement away from cities, including suburbanization, exurbanization, or movement to rural areas.
  • Sociologists have posited many explanations for counterurbanization, but one of the most debated known as "white flight. " The term "white flight" was coined in the mid-twentieth century to describe suburbanization and the large-scale migration of whites of various European ancestries from racially mixed urban regions to more racially homogeneous suburban regions.
  • White flight during the post-war period contributed to urban decay, a process whereby a city, or part of a city, falls into disrepair and decrepitude.
  • White flight contributed to the draining of cities' tax bases when middle-class people left.
  • Urban decay was caused in part by the loss of industrial and manufacturing jobs as they moved into rural areas or overseas, where labor was cheaper.

• Media Types and Scheduling

  • In addition, It is well-established and able to reach rural areas.
  • The classic scheduling models are continuity, flighting, and pulsing.
  • In media scheduling for seasonal product categories, flighting involves intermittent and irregular periods of advertising, alternating with shorter periods of no advertising at all.
  • Pulsing combines flighting and continuous scheduling by using a low advertising level all year round and heavy advertising during peak selling periods.

• Automobiles, Airplanes, Mass Production, and Assembly-Line Progress

  • After the war, Charles Lindbergh rose to instant fame in 1927 with the first solo, non-stop transatlantic flight from Long Island, New York, to Paris, France.
  • State government contracts to build highways and roads in rural areas increased as new housing sprung up outside the range of mass transit.
  • Famed aviator Charles "Lucky Lindy" Lindbergh made the first solo, nonstop transatlantic flight in 1927 at age 25.

• Urban Decline

  • This process is frequently called white flight, in reference to the fact that the central urban areas usually remain inhabited by minority populations when white populations leave.
  • Given that economic fluctuations have such profound effects on urban development, it makes sense that issues associated with the modern iteration of urban decline began during the Industrial Revolution, the time period in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century when rural people flocked to cities for employment in manufacturing.
  • Historically in the U.S., the white middle class gradually left the cities for suburban areas because of the perceived higher crime rates and dangers caused by African-American migration to northern cities after World War I; this demonstrates so-called white flight.

• Zero Launch Angle

  • What is the range, maximum height and time of flight of the object at a 90 degree launch angle?
  • We have previously discussed the effects of different launch angles on range, height, and time of flight.
  • Here, $T$ is the duration of the flight before the object its the ground.
  • In the horizontal direction, the object travels at a constant speed $v_0$ during the flight.
  • Explain the relationship between the range and the time of flight

• The Fight-or-Flight Response

  • The fight-or-flight-or-freeze response is regulated by release of adrenaline or noradrenaline.
  • The fight-or-flight response (also called the fight-or-flight-or-freeze response, hyperarousal, or the acute stress response) was first described by Walter Bradford Cannon.
  • However, there is a short boost of the immune system shortly after the fight or flight response has been activated.
  • Discuss the endocrine system's role in the fight-or-flight response to stress

• Agricultural Initiatives and Recovery

  • Roosevelt's New Deal agenda included an unprecedented effort to provide reform, recovery, and relief programs in rural areas.
  • Although by 1930, more than a half of Americans already lived in cities, nearly 44% still resided in rural areas.
  • Never before did rural areas witness as comprehensive reform programs as during the New Deal.
  • Rural Electrification Administration (REA, 1936): Provided low-cost federal loans to cooperative electric power companies in order to bring electricity to isolated rural areas.
  • The vision and outline of New Deal's rural programs have greatly shaped the agricultural sector and later rural reform efforts in the United States.
