“…In a more critically nuanced study of rural mobilities, Dufty-Jones (2015) explores the politicisation of mobility in her study of the governmentality of public housing in rural Australia during the troubled decades of the 1980s and 1990s. In particular, she highlights the tensions between the aims of government housing, welfare and regional development policy in a period of rapid neoliberalisation, on the one hand, and the complex lived realities of rural individuals and households, on the other, many of whom were effectively ‘left behind’, in employment and economic citizenship terms, by wholesale retractions of private and public services from many rural communities.…”

This report focuses on the individual and collective capacities of rural people to develop innovative and entrepreneurial approaches to local development (e.g. via place marketing) and to create music, art, prose and other cultural forms in place which in themselves serve to promote rural localities and regions to non-local people. In addition, it considers people’s propensities to move to new places on a permanent or temporary basis, and how this mobility affects individuals and host and sending communities. Rural geographers are also taking advantage of new sophisticated geostatistical databases to produce more precise measurements of mobility and migration relevant to rural population geography research. However, in reviewing these two major research fields I also pay attention to the relative mobility of concepts and metanarratives developed in particular national and cultural contexts and the degree to which they successfully travel and ‘take root’ – in the sense of helpfully explaining empirical circumstances – in other places. Far from being a remote outpost of the broader discipline, rural geography, through its practitioners, continues to pose vital normative questions regarding the current and future directions of rural society, economy, population and environment across the globe, and developing the intellectual and practical tools to address those questions.

“…Overall, the ethnographic techniques were applied in conducting this research (see Kannisto, ). The study uses a case study approach following Dufty‐Jones' () indication of how limited case studies on rural mobility studies are. To collect data, the researcher conducted community visioning workshops in the study area.…”

The adoption and use of digital technologies (DTs) in rural communities have an impact on several aspects of the society. Using empirical evidence from selected villages of Beitbridge district in Zimbabwe, this study examines the relationship between DTs and youth mobility. The different types, causes, and motifs associated with youth mobilities are explored using qualitative research methods including focus group discussions and community visioning workshops. Study findings reveal challenges facing youths in trying to be mobile including social (mainly gender) inequalities. Thus, women were found to be less mobile. Lack of infrastructure was found to be another key challenge impacting youth mobility. The study however found that DTs are being adopted and this has led to virtual mobilities, which is redefining youth mobility. The opportunities and challenges of integrating virtual mobilities and physical mobilities were explored. The study findings are critical to various actors including ICT, education, and other sectors in that they show opportunities that need to be expropriated to enhance youth mobility, which is key to socio‐economic well‐being of youths, as well as the challenges that can be faced through the ubiquity of DTs.

“…El ICT fue creado en 1939 para ejecutar funciones de construcción y financiación de vivienda de interés social (VIS); en 1991 se convirtió en el Instituto Nacional de Vivienda de Interés Social y Reforma Urbana (INURBE), cuya función principal era la adjudicación de subsidios para mejoramiento, construcción y adquisición de VIS. 3 Actualmente, la Caja de Vivienda Popular ejecuta políticas en programas de mejoramiento de barrios, de vivienda, titulación, urbanizaciones y reasentamientos urbanos, con que fue de suma importancia, por ejemplo, en la construcción de los proyectos de Ciudad Kennedy y Ciudad Bolívar, que albergan parte significativa de la población capitalina (Jaramillo, 1992). Hacia 1982 nació la preocupación por las llamadas viviendas de interés social (VIS).…”
