Woods, M. (2010). "Approaching the rural". In M. Woods, Rural: This article explores
different conceptualizations of rural areas and their relationship to urban areas. It examines
the various ways that rural areas have been studied, including as a physical landscape, a set
of social relations, and a site of political contestation. The author argues for a more relational
approach to studying rural areas, which recognizes the interconnections between rural and
urban areas.

Mærsk, E., A. Aagaard Thuesen & T. Haartsen (2023) Symbolic mobility capital to fight the
social stigma of staying: how young adults re-imagine narratives of ‘leaving’ during higher
education: This article examines the experiences of young adults who choose to stay in their

and that this has implications for rural development.

Stockdale, A. (2006) The Role of a ‘Retirement Transition’ in the Repopulation of Rural

S. Christiaanse & T. Haartsen (2017) The influence of symbolic and emotional meanings of
rural facilities on reactions to closure: The case of the village supermarket. Journal of Rural
Studies, Vol. 54: pp. 326-336:
This article examines how the symbolic and emotional meanings attached to rural facilities
can influence community reactions to their closure. The study focuses on the closure of a
village supermarket in the Netherlands and analyses the community’s reactions through
qualitative interviews with residents. The findings reveal that the closure was perceived as a
loss of a community meeting place, a symbol of local pride, and a source of social
interaction. These symbolic and emotional meanings attached to the supermarket influenced
the community's reactions to its closure, creating feelings of sadness, anger, and resentment
towards the supermarket's owner and the local government.

Autti, O. & E.K. Hyry-Beihammer (2014) School closures in rural Finnish communities.
Journal of Research in Rural Education vol. 29: pp. 1-17:
This article explores the impacts of school closures on rural communities in Finland. The
study analyses the perceptions of the community members through interviews and surveys.
The findings indicate that the closure of a rural school not only affects the education of
children but also leads to a loss of social capital and community cohesion. The study also
suggests that the closure of schools contributes to the depopulation of rural areas as families
move to urban areas in search of better education opportunities.

A.Rodríguez-Pose (2018) The revenge of the places that don’t matter (and what to do about
it). Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society, Vol 11, Issue 1, pp. 189–209:
This article argues that the economic and political decisions of recent decades have led to a
widening gap between urban and rural areas, creating a divide between places that matter
and those that do not. The author analyses this divide through case studies from Europe and
argues that the neglect of rural areas has led to social and economic problems. The article
suggests that policymakers need to address these problems and take steps to address the
marginalisation of rural areas.

Bürgin et al. (2021) Digital multilocality: New modes of working between centre and
periphery in Switzerland. Journal of Rural Studies, Vol. 88, pp. 83-96:
This article examines how digital technologies have enabled new modes of working in rural
areas, focusing on the concept of digital multilocality. The study analyses the impact of
digital multilocality on work and life of individuals in rural areas in Switzerland through
qualitative interviews. The findings suggest that digital multilocality has led to greater
flexibility in work, reduced commuting times, and better work-life balance. However, it has
also created challenges, such as the blurring of boundaries between work and personal life
and the need for strong time management skills. The study highlights the potential of digital
multilocality to support the development of rural areas by making it more attractive for
individuals to live and work in these areas.
