Rural poll: Good schools, jobs are vital
By Vicki
Miller, IANR News and Publishing
Quality schools and jobs,
personal safety and affordable medical
services top the list of
community characteristics rural Nebraskans
say are essential to
their quality of life, according to the
Nebraska Rural Poll.
The seventh annual University of Nebraska poll revealed some
large differences between what rural residents consider absolutely
essential to their quality of life and what's available in their
communities.
The broadest gap was in quality jobs and
economic opportunities.
While 63 percent of respondents rated
quality jobs and economic
opportunities as absolutely essential,
only 6 percent said they
were currently present to a great extent
in their communities.
A mix of economic, social and
environmental issues led the
list of essential characteristics. The
following characteristics
were ranked as absolutely essential by
more than half of respondents.
The first percent is the proportion
of respondents who ranked
it as absolutely essential; the second is
the percent who said
it is present in their community to a great
extent: quality schools,
79 percent, 47 percent; sense of personal
safety, 77 percent,
42 percent; affordable medical services, 73
percent, 27 percent;
quality jobs/economic opportunities, 63
percent, 6 percent; affordable
housing, 58 percent, 15 percent;
clean attractive natural environment,
58 percent, 43 percent;
friendly people, 56 percent, 38 percent;
well maintained
infrastructure, 55 percent, 20 percent; a sense
of community among
residents, 51 percent, 28 percent.
"The gap between
what's essential and what's there means
there are some pieces we
need to work on if we're going to maintain
community viability and
quality of life," said John Allen,
the NU Institute of
Agriculture and Natural Resources rural sociologist
who heads the
scientific poll.
Community size also influenced opinions
about what is essential
and what's available in their community,
the poll showed. Residents
of smaller communities were more likely
to say social dimensions
were present in their community to a great
extent such as lack
of urban congestion, friendly people and a
sense of community.
Those in larger communities were more likely to
say specialized
services were available such as college classes,
senior citizen
programs and affordable medical services.
The scientific survey is mailed in March to randomly selected
rural residents in Nebraska's 87 rural counties. This year's
results are based on 2,841 responses.
The Nebraska Rural
Poll is the largest annual survey of rural
Nebraskans' perceptions
on life and policy issues. This year's
response rate was 44
percent. Complete poll results are at http://cari.unl.edu/ruralpoll.ht

Rural issues, policy
in spotlight at symposium
By Sandi Alswager, IANR News and
Publishing
Rural concerns and culture are the focus for a
first-of-its-kind
national symposium this month on rural issues and
the need for
a new rural policy.
The "Rural
Matters: Making Place and Culture Count!"
symposium will be
Oct. 16-18 at the Arbor Day Farm Lied Conference
Center at Nebraska
City, said Sam Cordes, a UNL agricultural
economist and symposium
director. The university is co-sponsoring
the symposium with the
Rural Policy Research Institute. RUPRI
is a consortium of NU, the
University of Missouri and Iowa State
University that assesses
implications of public policies, programs
and legislative
proposals.
The symposium will feature national and
international speakers,
presentations, policy discussions, a juried
film festival and
arts and photography exhibits. Nationally
recognized artists,
writers, journalists and researchers also will
participate. Organizers
said the conference combines policy
discussions with cultural
activities to represent the full range of
modern rural life.
The need for major changes in U.S. rural
policy is a major
symposium focus. During the sessions, rural
citizens, congressional
representatives, national and international
dignitaries and other
policy-makers will create a document
emphasizing the importance
of rural areas that will guide changes
in rural policy, Cordes
said.
"The time has come
for our nation and our national government
to set aside antiquated
notions about what rural American does
and needs," Cordes
said. "It is our hope and intent
that this symposium will help
set a new and different course
for rural policy in the years
ahead."
Organizers hope the symposium ends with the
drafting of the
so-called Nebraska City Declaration, which will
outline the vision
and guiding principles of a national rural
policy initiative.
Keynote speakers include: U.S. Rep. Eva
Clayton, D-N.C., and
U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, R-Mo., who will
address "The Emperor
Has No Clothes: The Legacy of a Failed
Rural Policy"; Roger
Welsch, folklorist, rural humorist and
CBS commentator, who will
take a humorous approach to "The
Best Kept Myths About Rural
America"; and John Hume, member of
Parliament and Nobel
Peace Prize winner, who will appear live via
satellite and address,
"Lessons to be Learned from Rural
Policy Development in
the European Union."
A
living history presentation, "A Night with President
Jefferson
and the Intrepid Explorers Lewis and Clark," will
be given by
Hal Stearns, scholar of this era from Wayne State
College. Nebraska
Sen. David Landis will portray George Norris,
Nebraska's U.S.
senator for more than 40 years, to address the
theme "Making a
Difference in Rural America."
Interactive concurrent
sessions will feature a nationally
juried rural film festival and
structured discussions.
Conference registration is limited
to 250 people and is on
a first-come, first-served basis.
Registration must be paid in
advance and is $275, including all
meals, snacks, breaks, program
and entertainment.
NU
and RUPRI are sponsoring the conference with support from
the U.S.
Department of Agriculture and the Farm Foundation.
