rural identity

Rural identity refers to the values, traditions, and lifestyle characteristics associated with people living in non-urban areas, such as villages or countryside. This identity often emphasizes community ties, agriculture, nature, and a slower pace of life. Rural individuals may have distinct cultural practices, occupations related to farming or crafts, and a close relationship with their environment. Rural identity can also involve pride in local heritage and a strong sense of belonging to a specific place, influencing how residents view themselves and their role in society compared to urban counterparts.
