Many communities emphasize participatory involvement in local development or
reinvention efforts. Recognizing barriers among specific groups could help community
leaders identify what may be constraining underrepresented groups from joining in.
Utilizing data from the Social Capital Benchmark Survey, this research examined identified
“barriers” to community involvement among individuals in rural and urban areas. Results
indicated that while rurality reduced perceived obstacles among the general population,
particular characteristics uniquely impact the way individuals identify barriers to
community involvement within rural and urban places. This analysis not only identifies
targeted barriers for communities to address, but also highlights areas where further placebased
research could be beneficial. |
