Farm Size and Community Quality: Arvin and Dinuba Revisited
重新分析加州阿文和迪努巴两个社区,发现除农场规模外,经济、人口和地理差异也影响社区发展,质疑了Goldschmidt关于大农场导致社区质量差异的假说。
Abstract A comparative analysis of Arvin and Dinuba. California, suggests that many factors besides differences in farm size contributed to Arvin's retarded community development. Rather than being closely matched communities, the two towns had developed within significantly different economic, demographic, and geographic settings. Goldschmidt's hypothesis that large farms accounted for differences in community quality may still be correct; but, because of methodological flaws, his study of Arvin and Dinuba offers little support for this assertion.
