What is the most striking difference between rural communities and cities?

rural communities, compared with traditional administrative villages and modern urban communities, refer to the social life * * * of rural residents living in a certain geographical area on the basis of agricultural production methods.

The rural community is a more flexible institutional platform than the natural village and the village group system. It is built around how to form a new social life, focusing on improving people's quality of life, cohesion and identity by integrating resources and improving services. To understand the rural community, we should pay attention to the following characteristics:

(1) The rural community is a social entity. Rural community is a relatively complete social structure system. Some common phenomena in rural society can be reflected in rural communities. People can discover various social phenomena in rural society through rural communities and hear the truest wishes of community residents from rural social life. It can be said that rural society is composed of several different types of rural communities, so the construction of new socialist countryside should start with the construction of rural communities.

(2) The main body of rural communities is rural residents. Rural residents are the premise of the emergence and existence of rural communities and the builders of rural communities. The construction of rural communities is closely related to the lives of rural residents. This requires that realizing, maintaining and developing the fundamental interests of rural residents should be regarded as the starting point and end result of building rural communities, respecting the dominant position of rural residents, actively increasing the enthusiasm and initiative of rural residents in building rural communities, and building rural communities into satisfactory social and economic living places for rural residents.

(3) The basic economic activity of rural communities is agricultural production. In urban communities, the way of making a living of labor force is basically to engage in secondary and tertiary industries, while in rural communities, the basic economic activity is to engage in agricultural production. However, since the reform and opening up, the industrial structure in China's rural areas has changed significantly. With the development of farmland planting, forestry, animal husbandry, by-products and secondary and tertiary industries have developed on a large scale. In many areas, the number of rural residents engaged in secondary and tertiary industries has exceeded the number engaged in agriculture, and farmers' income from non-agricultural industries has also exceeded agricultural income.

(4) Multifunctional rural communities. As far as the rural communities in China are concerned, first, they have economic functions. It is mainly manifested in the role of rural communities in organizing, coordinating and managing production and business activities and providing services before, during and after delivery. Second, it has political functions. It mainly shows that rural communities play a role in implementing the principles and policies of the party and the government, safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of villagers, establishing and developing various community organizations, and promoting villagers' autonomy and grassroots democracy and legal system construction. Third, it has cultural functions. The main performance is that rural communities are responsible for developing education, organizing cultural entertainment and sports activities, and organizing for rural communities has several functions, such as maintaining public order, mediating civil disputes, managing family planning, and maintaining social stability of communities. Fifth, it has the function of social construction. Such as developing social security and welfare undertakings in the community.

(5) The population density of rural communities is low, and the scale of settlement is small. Population density and the scale of population settlement are the main indicators to measure the population situation of a community. Compared with urban communities, because agricultural production activities need to be carried out on a large area of land, it is impossible for rural residents to live together like urban residents, and they can only live in many places on a small scale. This feature requires that the construction, development and management of rural communities should be adapted to local conditions and respect objective phenomena.

(6) Family functions are more prominent in rural communities. Rural families are not only responsible for fertility, support, consumption, culture and entertainment, but also the most basic unit of agricultural production and the main constituent unit of rural organizations. The most basic characteristics of the family can fully meet the requirements of agricultural activities. However, in rural social life, individuals often participate in organizing activities as family members, and community organizations often regard the family as a unit to accept tasks in the process of their activities. It can be said that the family is the basic unit of rural organizations.

(7) Blood relationship and geographical relationship play a fundamental role in rural communities, but the role of industry relationship is becoming more and more important. Blood relatives, in-laws, and the complex network formed by blood relatives and in-laws from generation to generation are the core and link of rural social relations. At the same time, neighborhood relationship is also an important interpersonal relationship in rural communities. However, in modern rural areas, the pattern of blood relationship is becoming diversified and rational, and the closeness of relatives depends more and more on the effective and mutually beneficial maintenance of their cooperation in production and management.

(8) Rural communities have diverse types. From the perspective of production function, it can be divided into rural areas, forest villages, pastoral villages, fishing villages and so on; From the perspective of legal status, it can be divided into two types: natural villages and established villages; If classified from the perspective of morphology, it can be divided into village-based communities and village-based communities. The diverse types of rural communities require the construction of rural communities according to local conditions.

the difference between rural communities and urban communities lies in their different members. Rural communities are composed of farmers and urban communities are composed of urban residents.

The whole rural area immigrates to the city and lives in a resettlement community. Whether it is a rural community depends on the nature of the household registration. agricultural registered permanent residence counts; Urban hukou belongs to urban communities.
