Incidence

There is a general break-down in the cohesive patterns of life in many small communities. Difficulties arise between the traditional decision-making groups which have remained unchanged for many years and overlapping city and township authorities; this leads to ineffective planning, conflicts over the use of large equipment, and inequitable delivery of utilities and services. Urban mobility and anonymity compound the problem: there is a lack of consensus on standards of behaviour and law enforcement. It is difficult for newcomers to become part of the community life, for there are few regular activities; past failures in sustaining community participation have made people reluctant to try again.
