Rural applies to country areas outside of cities. These areas are characterized by an agricultural economy and low population density. Rural areas usually have fewer community services such as water, electricity and communication than urban areas (cities). There may be limited access by major roads or public transportation.

Internal Notes

Apr.30,06 JVD Replaced “Geographic isolation, difficult terrain, minimal or no community services such as electricity or water, low population density, and limited access should all be considered when helping the people group in selecting media. In one case history, both being in a high rainfall area and having no adequate indoor facilities were additional considerations in selecting a video which needed to be projected.” with new from Ruth H.
