“…In other cases, authors engaged the rurban to describe mechanisms of rural and urban inhabitants to cope with the contradictions of rural and urban transformations [18]. Rurban was also proposed as a program to reconcile urban and rural influences and forces in the face of peripheralization [19][20][21][22].…”

Recently, there have been calls to decenter theories of the urban to theorize the rural as a formative force. While recognizing that the urban remains structurally dominant, scholars point towards the interconnectedness of the urban and the rural under present capitalist transformation processes. We proposed to study recent urban–rural entanglements through the heuristic of rurban assemblages. We focused on rural groups and how they negotiate their integration and disintegration into the urban cosmos while remaining embedded within their rural context through the lens of land. This article adds to the debate on the contradictory meanings and uses of land in the context of land dispossession and commodification for urban and industrial development. The work specifically paid attention to the reshaping of subject–land relations and analyzed how implicit or explicit references to the city and the countryside permeate the construction of values and uses of land among the old and new social groups in the metropolitan region of Bengaluru, South India.

“…Marginalization is a phenomenon that is expressed in the relegation of an individual or group to conditions of disadvantage, exclusion, or inferiority, that is, to the margins or periphery of their context. Marginalization is a multidimensional phenomenon that includes economic and financial (Dimitrov, 2016; Murakami & Hamaguchi, 2021; Tagai et al, 2018); cultural, political, or institutional (Baah et al, 2019; Melgaço, 2021; Molla, 2018), demographic (Dimitrov, 2016; Heffner & Latocha, 2020; Tagai et al, 2018); and environmental and ecological (Fuerst‐Bjeliš, 2020; Kousis, 1998; Levers et al, 2021; Malin et al, 2019; Nayak et al, 2014) dimensions.…”

Addressing the pressure that population growth puts on the environment has become a high‐level policy priority. Less discussed is the role of population decline in either enhancing or degrading the natural environment, and how the reshaping of it can help new forms of de‐peripheralization and de‐marginalization. A long‐term trajectory of marginalization and peripheralization of depopulating places can be reversed in certain situations by adopting a more holistic and sustainable analytical and policy framing. In order to do this, here we integrate different types of diagnosis frameworks. The first, based on factors that the literature indicates as factors leading to negative effects of depopulation, for which the revitalization of such places is suggested; and the second, proposed in this paper, which adds the integrity of the ecosystems involved in places undergoing depopulation processes. Our findings suggest that as we add ecosystem integrity factor to observations, in some cases revitalisation is possible even in the localities displaying the potentially negative effects of depopulation decrease. This suggests that whereas in some places a policy managed abandonment may be appropriate to release human pressures over such degraded ecosystems, in other cases, revitalization may be a viable alternative for such settlements.

“…The use of social media to share farmers' or extension officers' knowledge will provide a unique phenomenon considering that the agricultural and rural world may experience a digital divide.The digital divide will have an impact on reducing the quality of education, lagging behind new trends and information, non-maximum income, less conducive rural development, uneven access to digital technology, new waves of migration, and differences in job opportunities between rural and urban areas. The gaps include, among others, rural-urban disparities and among demographic characteristics[77][78][79][80][81][82][83]. This becomes a challenge for the development of the agricultural sector.…”

The use of social media to share knowledge is interesting and in demand by many people. Literature studies on the use of social media to share knowledge have been widely carried out, but studies on development communication and social change need further exploration. This study aims to provide a review of research on the use of social media for knowledge sharing in the context of development communication and social change. This research is a systematic literature review using the PRISMA protocol. This protocol consists of four stages: identification, abstract screening, eligibility of manuscripts, and determination of selected articles. Literature research is carried out using particular keyword combinations with Boolean logic from reliable sources, namely Web of Science, Scopus.com, and PubMed. The selected literature research is 57 articles. Data were analyzed qualitatively with the help of NVIVO 12 Plus and Ms. Excel of 2021 version. The results of the study show that most of the research uses a quantitative approach. The health and education sectors dominate this study, most research subjects are the public, most of them are located in developed countries, and Facebook is the most researched social media. This study found various types of literature research based on motivation, data collection techniques, and the role of variables. Many theories and variables were applied in this study. The results show that there are limitations and gaps in research on the use of social media for knowledge sharing in the context of development communication and social change, which can be utilized by further research.
