What is It

Urban, Rural, Suburban, and Rural Communities

When a community is viewed as a shared political territory and heritage, it can be
classified into four types: urban, rural, suburban, and rurban.

1. Urban communities are cities or big towns where there is a large, high-dense,
and heterogeneous population. There is not much open space in urban areas
for vegetation, but space is maximized to build public and private infrastructure
such as houses, business establishments, road networks, bridges, railways,
airports, and the like. The division of labor is complex and people's occupational
specialization could be industrial, administrative, or professional. The class
status of people is varied, ranging from the very rich down to the very poor.

2. Rural Communities are territorial enclaves or villages where there is a small,

low-density, and homogeneous population. There are lots of open spaces for
vegetation and the natural environment. The use of available land if often
dedicated to agriculture, and if the community is near the coast, nearby waters
are used for fisheries. The division of labor is based on agricultural or aquatic
industries, supported by farming and fishery infrastructures. The class status of
people is often feudal, characterized by a landlord and tenant relationship. The
social interaction of people in rural communities is highly familiar that it
resembles intimate and close ties, which often results in a strong degree of
social solidarity.

3. Suburban communities are residential or mix-used areas located at the city

outskirts or within the commuting distance of a city. Most people work in cities,
but others opt to work in nearby suburban offices or business parks. Spaces in
suburban areas are devoted to housing subdivisions, small 4 to 12-floor office
buildings, business parks, and road networks leading to nearby cities where
most people go to work. The social relationships in suburban communities are
dominated by nuclear family homes in small pockets of land within the territory
of their housing unit.

4. Rurban communities are communities that both have urban and rural
characteristics. In the Philippines, this happens when people from different
urban slum communities are relocated to housing settlements found on the
outskirts of rural areas. Unlike those of suburban communities, such housing

4 NegOr_Q3_CESC/HUMSS12_Module4_v2
 settlements are difficult to access and they do not have well-developed roads
leading to cities. Due to its purpose of being relocation sites, urban communities
are often places where marginalized people exist.

To sum it up:

 Urban communities are cities.

 Urban communities have massive number of people living close together in a
small amount of space.
 In urban communities, people usually use bus, taxi, or just walk as their mode
of transportation.
 The buildings in an urban community are often very tall and are usually called
“skyscrapers”.
 Rural communities are called “the country” or farmland.
 Rural communities have fewer people, many open space and natural areas.
 Buildings in rural communities are more spread out than in urban.
 Suburban communities are usually close to, but not in cities.
 Suburban communities have fewer people than in urban, but more people than
rural. Houses are often in neighborhoods and many people have yards.
 Homes on suburban communities often have only one family living with them.

 Despite us having contrasting behavior, we still have similarities that we can

work with for us to be better citizens in our respective community.
