Description

The concept of rural areas is complex and multifaceted, with varying interpretations across different academic disciplines. This collection of chapters explores how perceptions of rural spaces influence research and understanding in fields such as business, economics, sociology, and human geography. Contributors present diverse perspectives on the notion of rural, highlighting its dynamic nature and the ways in which it can be both a source of disadvantage and social exclusion, yet also a cherished and commodified space. By examining these complex representations, this book sheds light on the nuances of human relationships with rural environments. Through its diverse chapters, this volume reveals how the concept of rural evolves as different disciplinary lenses are applied, resulting in a rich tapestry of perspectives on this multifaceted topic.
