Reaching Extension's Clientele: Exploring Patterns Of Preferred Information Channels Among Small Farm Operators, Glenn Israel Dec 1991

Reaching Extension's Clientele: Exploring Patterns Of Preferred Information Channels Among Small Farm Operators, Glenn Israel

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Effective delivery methods are important to the impact of Extension programs. The effectiveness of delivering Extension programs can be increased by matching the information channels used by Extension to those preferred by segments of the clientele. This study explores the preference patterns of clientele for obtaining information. The influence of selected individual and structural characteristics on those patterns also is examined. Data from a mail survey (using the Total Design Method, or TDM) of small farm operators from six counties in Florida indicate that preference patterns vary. The analysis, using confirmatory factor analysis, verified the presence of a lower cost …

The Receptivity To Housing Programs In The Rural South, Gladys Shelton, Kenneth Gruber Dec 1991

The Receptivity To Housing Programs In The Rural South, Gladys Shelton, Kenneth Gruber

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Adequate and affordable housing continues to be a serious problem in many rural areas of the Southern United States. This problem has been exacerbated by several major events in the past two decades, including the "population turnaround" in the 1970s, which increased the demand for housing as the number of people living in rural areas increased. The housing affordability crisis then resulted from a spiraling rise in housing costs greater than household annual income and a reduction in federal spending for housing programs. The combined effect of these events suggests local communities must now look more to state level initiatives …

Testing Tdm Modifications With Mail Surveys During A Southern Farm Study: A Research Note, John Ballweg Dec 1991

Testing Tdm Modifications With Mail Surveys During A Southern Farm Study: A Research Note, John Ballweg

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

Based on data collected during a mail survey of crime and vandalism on farms in a southern state, this study involves a modification of two procedures in the Total Design Method: 1) individually signed cover letters; and 2) replacement questionnaires for the second mailing. While the first procedure was found to have no significant effect on the return rate, the inclusion of replacement questionnaires with the second mailing improved the response rate by a wide margin (more than double the letter-only mailing). The implications of audience type (in this case a farm audience) and other survey design features on response …

Community Attachment: A Research Note Examining The Effects Of Gender, Stephanie Sayers Fowler

Journal of Rural Social Sciences

The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of gender on feelings of community attachment. This is done through the development of a measure of emotional response to a community, which is then tested, using the techniques of confirmatory factor analysis, for gender variation. The data are from a 1985 survey mailed to 1400 residents of four rural North Carolina counties. Responses from 1200 of these residents provide the sample. The author develops a model which focuses not on the well established relationship between satisfaction with service provision and community attachment, but on the relationship between emotional responses …

The Role Of Agro-Industries In Promoting A Food Culture In Nigeria, M. O. Ojo Dec 1991

The Role Of Agro-Industries In Promoting A Food Culture In Nigeria, M. O. Ojo

Economic and Financial Review

The paper discusses in a general way the role of agro-industries in the promotion of a Nigerian food culture. It observes that the agro-industrial and trade policies pursued in the 1970s and early 1980s contributed immensely to a food habit characterised l1y preference for foreign and imported foods. Agro-industries in the present economic environment can contribute positively to the development of a Nigerian food culture through corporate promotions, investments in the production of local foodstuffs and funding of relevant research and development.

Infusion Of Private Sector Capital In Rural Infrastructure Building In Lagos State, E. D. Balogun

Economic and Financial Review

This paper recognizes the constraints imposed l7y the weak rural infrastructure base in Lagos State given the swampy/riverine nature of her landscape and notes the dim prospects for overcoming them through public investments alone. Although the study recognizes that rural infrastucture is a public good, several cases are cited to show that private sector initiatives in the provision of rural infrastructural facilites and services can be successful. Among the financing mechanisms for infusing private sector capital into rural infrastructure building include rural development levies, strengthening of rural financial markets and special aids/grants from private and non-governmental agencies. For· these initiatives …

Industrial Development Coordinating Committee (Idcc) And Foreign Private Investment (Fpi) In Nigeria, J. A. Aremu

Foreign Private Investment In Nigeria In 1989, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

The easier access to foreign . exchange which led to a net capital outflow of N439.4 million was made possible through the creation of new outlets for the purchase of foreign exchange introduced in 1989. The Bureau de Change which took off in mid -1989 was put in place by the federal government to compete with the informal parallel market and thus expand the foreign exchange market. Also, …

Bautista, R.M. "Agricultural Growth As A Development Strategy." Economic Impact No. 66 Pp. 24-28 1989, L. I. Odey

Economic and Financial Review

In this paper, the author attempts a further exposition on the on-going debate on the feasibility of adoption of an export-led strategy of economic development which considers" Agriculture- first" as the engine of growth. The au~or strongly supports an agricultural-based development strategy because it is capable of generating mass employment, it is anti-poverty as well as being an hl.come redistribution programme. This strategy, he reasons, should be particularly appealing to countries with a heavy debt service burden since it is a foreign-exchange conserving programme given the lowerimporrrequirements of agricultural growth and itslinka,geeffectscompared with those of industry-led import substitution strategy.

Introduction: Social Work And Philosophy, Roberta Wells Imre

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

A journal issue unequivocally about philosophical concerns in social work is evidence of the recent progress we have made in the profession in recognizing the importance of philosophical commitments in social work activities. Awareness of the presence of these commitments and dissatisfaction with conventional social work resources for addressing them led to the organization of the Study Group for Philosophical Issues in 1985. The papers presented here have been contributed by members of this group, which is open to anyone interested in joining the conversation.
