, a rural town in Hubei province, China]] Rural areas are sparsely settled places away from the influence of large Cities and Town s. Such areas are distinct from more intensively settled Urban and Suburban areas, and also from unsettled lands such as Outback or Wilderness . People in rural areas live in Village s, on Farm s and in other isolated House s, as in Pre-industrial Societies . In modern usage, rural areas can have an Agricultural character, though many rural areas are characterized by an economy based on Logging , Mining , Petroleum and Natural Gas exploration, or Tourism . Lifestyles in rural areas are different than those in urban areas, mainly because limited Service s, especially Public Service s are available. Governmental services like Law Enforcement , School s, Fire Department s, and Libraries may be distant, limited in scope, or unavailable. Utilities like Water , Sewage , Street Light ing, and public Waste Management may not be present. Public Transport is absent or very limited, people use their own Vehicle s, Walk , Bicycle , or ride an Animal . '' BIBLIOGRAPHY Hart, John Fraiser. ''The Rural Landscape'', ISBN 0801857171. SEE ALSO
