Some of us live in densely populated villages (42 per cent), while others choose to Since 2001, Ottawa’s rural population live in isolated communities (53 per cent) and has grown faster than the city’s a small number of us live on farms (5 per cent) overall average growth (8.5 per cent (City of Ottawa 2004). vs. 6.5 per cent).

As women City of Ottawa; City of Ottawa) in rural areas, we are more likely to experience isolation, face conservative views or experience difficulties accessing services. Those of us who A City for Everyone — 3 Diversity Snapshot RURAL RESIDENTS — Equity and Inclusion Lens are visible minorities face lack of culturally appropriate services, and a long commute to access these services. Those of us who are members of the GLBT community face cultural and social barriers, deal with isolation, confront traditional views, and lack services, much more so than those living in the urban area. Some of us question whether Ottawa’s political leaders take our views and lived realities into account. Many of us lack basic services such as child care, social services and programs, medical facilities, grocery stores and pharmacies. 2. Contributions we make As rural residents, we contribute to our city in many ways. Volunteerism and participation in the community is an integral part of our life. We offer a wide range of tourism and recreational activities that are unique to rural areas. Heritage buildings and museums, provincial parks, mazes in cornfields, horseback-riding ranches, and pumpkin patch rides are some examples. Four rural villages Carp, Navan, Metcalfe and Richmond) hold annual fairs, attracting many people from the Ottawa-Gatineau area. Rural areas are also a destination for those who wish to escape the urban environment and enjoy the green space in rural Ottawa. Our work contributes to the overall health of Ottawa. Farmers’ markets offer a supply of locally grown food, providing a fresh alternative to food transported to Ottawa from afar. Savour Ottawa Initiative connects Ottawa-area farmers with local farmers’ markets, restaurants and grocery stores. The rural communities have developed, in partnership with the City, a creative model to provide services to the community. This hybrid model combines City-based resources and the local resources and venues, volunteer commitment, and the strong sense of ownership from community groups and organizations. Some examples include fire stations serviced by volunteer firefighters and one full-time paid Chief; recreation facilities managed by a volunteer board with the support from one City employee; the use of private swimming pools for lessons staffed by City employees; and the use of facilities built and maintained by community associations. A City for Everyone — 4 Diversity Snapshot RURAL RESIDENTS — Equity and Inclusion Lens 3. Barriers and inequities 1) Access to information As a result of the Rural Summits in 2005 and 2008, the City has made an effort to provide Internet access to rural areas – to date, 95 per cent of rural residents have access. However, access to information is still a barrier faced by many rural residents. For those who do not own a computer, the Internet is available at local libraries – but libraries in rural areas have sporadic hours and may be far away for some residents. The City has three rural Client Service Centres in Metcalfe, Kinburn and North Gower, however with limited open hours. Amalgamation in 2001 has brought many changes to rural life. However, lack of access to information about the City has led to misinterpretations among the residents as to how the City runs programs, delivers services and collects and invests taxes. For example, in rural areas where public transit or water and sewage systems are not provided, taxes are not used to pay for these services. However, some residents may mistakenly think that the City spends their tax on the services that they do not have access to. This confusion has contributed to some of the unfavourable views of the City among rural residents. The overlapping of jurisdictions between the City, the National Capital Commission and the Province of Ontario is also a source of misinterpretations. It is difficult for rural residents to get sufficient information to understand the different responsibilities of these three bodies. As a result, when there are changes to their lives and the environment, residents often view the City negatively as the main force behind them. Such misunderstanding can strain the relationship between the rural residents and the City. 2) Urban perspective In the past, many services in rural communities were run on a volunteer basis, staffed by local people from the area. Following amalgamation, City employees now staff some of these services. The urban perspective brought with this change – the “one size fits all” approach – has been criticized as not always reflecting the realities of that particular community. For example, the City has partnered with private businesses to distribute important community information throughout the city. Yet, some of these businesses are only urban-based and not capable of reaching the rural communities, thus leaving rural residents without access to key community information. An “urban city” mindset may still prevail among City staff. However, the City has worked to ensure a rural perspective to decision making. 3) Distances In rural areas, distance plays a large part in people’s lives. It affects the residents’ relationship and interactions with the urban core. Generally, the farther away people are from the urban core, the closer their links are to the neighbouring townships. In some cases, people’s postal codes may be linked to the next township, even though they live inside the City of Ottawa. Yet, most public services are offered to them through the City of Ottawa, not the surrounding townships. This can leave rural residents in a complex and often frustrating situation, because they are too far away from City services, yet cannot access services from the townships they are close to.

    Rural and Small Town Canada Analysis Bulletin Catalogue no. 21-006-XIE Vol. 3, No. 3 (November 2001) DEFINITIONS OF RURAL Valerie du Plessis, Roland Beshiri and Ray D. Bollman, Statistics Canada and Heather Clemenson, Rural Secretariat, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada HIGHLIGHTS ¨ Several alternative definitions of “rural” are available for national level policy analysis in Canada. ¨ For each rural issue, analysts should consider whether it is a local, community or regional issue. This will influence the type of territorial unit upon which to focus the analysis and the appropriate definition to use. ¨ Different definitions generate a different number of “rural” people. ¨ Even if the number of “rural” people is the same, different people will be classified as “rural” within each definition. ¨ Though the characteristics of “rural” people are different for each definition of “rural”, in general, each definition provides a similar analytical conclusion. Our recommendation We strongly suggest that the appropriate definition should be determined by the question being addressed; however, if we were to recommend one definition as a starting point or benchmark for understanding Canada’s rural population, it would be the “rural and small town” definition. This is the population living in towns and municipalities outside the commuting zone of larger urban centres (i.e. outside the commuting zone of centres with population of 10,000 or more).

Other commentators argue that rural schools can playa vital role infostering a sense ofplace that is critical to the development ofmeaningful social, economic, and cultural opportunities in uniquely situated communities. This paper examines the perceptions about schooling's contributions to community sustainability held by southwestern Saskatchewan residents. In the face ofpressures to close and consolidate many community schools, area residents place a high value on the maintenance ofextensive local educational services, are generally satisfied with the services available to them, and contribute actively to support schooling. However, schools offer credentials and content that serve urban centres more than local communities. If schools are to remain vital to rural community sustainability, educators, policymakers, and community members must offer strategies that link education with the development ofeconomic diversification, meaning­ ful jobs, and supportive community infrastructures.

This pattern tends to encourage the establishment of more but smaller firms. • Communities in weak metropolitan influenced zones (Weak MIZ) appear to be classified as weakly influenced by larger urban centres because they often serve as regional service centres.

Dave Gibson, Kelvin Fisher, Juanita Tremeer, Bev Weyland, and Dorothy Sagan provided feedback on initial plans for the report. Members of the Public Health Observatory provided feedback on various aspects of the report. Laurel Duczek, Cristina Ugolini, Dr. Steve Whitehead, Dr. Mark Lemstra, Judith Wright, Jennifer Cushon and Catherine Ford provided comments on draft manuscripts. Marie DesMeules of the Canadian Population Health Initiative offered technical advice for the Metropolitan Influence Zone classifications. Consultations with SHR rural managers and rural practitioners, public health service managers, and senior leadership team took place during the development of this report and valuable feedback has been gathered from this process. II Main Messages The purpose of this report is to develop a better understanding of the health status of Saskatoon Health Region’s (SHR’s) rural residents and differences between the region’s rural and urban residents. It sheds light on rural health needs in particular and will hopefully provide valuable insights to inform rural programs and policies. For many important public health measures, rural SHR residents fared at least as well as, if not better than, urban residents using data from 1995 to 2006. For example, there were similarities in life expectancy, mortality, and infant health measures between urban and rural SHR residents.

The objective of the present study was to conduct an ex-post quantitative evaluation of the Comprehensive Rural Village Development Program (CRVDP), a representative rural development policy operated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, a central government agency in South Korea. The primary purpose of this program is to ensure sustainable rural society. This study found a moderate but significant positive impact of the policy in enhancing the standard of living in rural areas. The present paper concludes with suggesting some policy implications, limitations and future directions of policy evaluation studies. Keywords: policy evaluation; sustainable rural policy; spatial econometrics model; decomposition method; South Korea 1. Introduction The rapid economic development in South Korea (hereafter “Korea”) over the past six decades has been deservedly hailed as globally unmatched. Concomitant with this national economic growth has come an increase in both agricultural production and farmer’s income. However, the rural and agricultural environment in Korea has undergone rapid change over the past fifty years.
