These strategies have enabled generations of people to cope with, adapt, and overcome diverse forms of adversity. For many semi‐subsistence‐based societies, climate change poses a different threat; one that has rendered some traditional adaptation pathways partially ineffective as natural resources have become less abundant and natural systems more unpredictable. This study presents narratives compiled through ethnography and qualitative research with three rural Indigenous iTaukei communities located on two islands in Fiji. Attributed in part to the prevalence of cultural values centered on relationalism, these communities have retained very effective systems of social resilience; however, losses sustained from almost annual cyclone events and associated landslides and earthquakes are taking their toll on the communities' capacities to recover and re‐establish valued dimensions of social life. This study responds to calls for empirical evidence of the forms and significance of noneconomic loss and damage (NELD) by drawing out gender‐sensitive, relational aspects of loss and damage observed in villagers' narratives.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145056697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It emphasizes the role of the state in the financialization of land. This exploratory and descriptive study uses documentary research and social network analysis. The study is supported by strategic action field theory and the sociology of finance. The results reveal significant land ownership concentration in Brazil among large multinational agribusinesses and foreign institutional investors. A significant portion of investment flows in Brazilian land acquisition transactions was of foreign origin. Large agribusiness multinationals and large financial asset managers held prominent structural positions in the network of transactions involving large Brazilian lands. Financialization in the Brazilian agricultural sector can lead to management practices that maximize the interests of companies and financial markets by increasing these actors' control over this important segment of the Brazilian economy. From the perspectives of field theory and the sociology of finance, this study fills a gap in the literature by addressing the expansion of the agricultural market and agribusiness in Brazil as spaces for the reproduction of financial actors and markets. It also emphasizes the role of the state in this process.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145056687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While climate security literature typically examines group‐level conflicts, such as between farmers and pastoralists or between ethnic groups, this study shifts the focus to intra‐ and inter‐household dynamics, exploring conflicts experienced by women with spouses, family members, and neighbors. Using life history interviews, the study reveals how climate vulnerabilities, economic hardship, and entrenched gender norms heighten tensions, leading to conflicts both within households and among neighboring women in a rural patriarchal social context. The findings suggest that climate‐induced economic challenges intensify domestic tensions while land scarcity from coastal erosion and resource degradation fuels disputes among neighboring women. The paper underscores addressing the deep‐rooted social norms and institutionalized gender inequalities that deepen women's vulnerabilities to climate impacts in conservative societies like those found in Bangladesh and across large parts of the global South to protect them from violence.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145056688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extent to which this conflict might be resolved depends, in part, on whether farmers and the wider community differ in their degree of concern for the environment. We measured the engagement of farmers and the wider community with biodiversity in New Zealand. We also investigated differences among farmers and the wider community in the antecedents of engagement, such as their involvement and goal intentions with respect to conserving biodiversity. We found that farmers and the wider community were similar in their involvement, cognitive engagement, and affective engagement with conserving biodiversity. Both had similar attitudes towards, and goal intentions regarding, conserving biodiversity, but they differed in their behavioral engagement, their behavior towards biodiversity. We found that farmers were more (not less) behaviorally engaged than the wider community. We concluded that the difference between farmers and the wider community in their behavioral engagement with protecting biodiversity was the product of differences in opportunities and opportunity costs related to such behavior. This has implications for the wider community's perception of farmers' motivations and its judgments about what constitutes “good” farming practice from an environmental perspective.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"103 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145003148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, telehealth utilization has been lower among rural than urban populations. Patient experiences are an essential determinant of healthcare utilization and effectiveness. To inform efforts to address disparities in telehealth utilization, we sought a situated, contextual understanding of patient experiences with telehealth among rural‐dwelling adults in California. We used Interpretive Phenomenology qualitative methods. In‐depth semi‐structured interviews explored rural life contexts, rural healthcare experiences, and valuations of telehealth among 16 rural‐dwelling adults who used telehealth at a distant urban medical center. Themes of scarcity and fragmented care characterized participants' rural healthcare experiences. Participants placed high value on their rural settings, despite limitations imposed by rural living. Informed by these contexts, participants offered highly positive assessments of telehealth and its utility for rural patients. Telehealth emerged as a positive tool for participants to support healthcare access and a rural way of life. However, findings point to a need to explore whether telehealth may contribute to rural healthcare bypass behaviors. Ongoing research is also needed to understand the telehealth experiences and preferences of underserved and minoritized rural populations.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144915490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the concept of SC is ambiguous and its measurement is controversial. This study focuses on rural SC and attempts to measure it inductively using data from 994 Japanese communities related to various collective actions (22 types), rather than deductively piling up the detailed components of SC, as in prior studies. In particular, we evaluate the impact of Japan's Multifunctional Payment System (MPS)—a rural development policy designed to support collective agricultural activities such as the maintenance of farm roads and irrigation facilities—on the accumulation of SC. To this end, we employ hierarchical latent variable models to capture the multidimensional and hierarchical structure of SC, and spatial regression models to assess the policy's causal impacts on SC accumulation while considering spatial heterogeneity. The results show that SC has spatial heterogeneity and a hierarchical structure, depending on the internal (bonding‐type) and external (bridging‐type) components, as well as on the difference between general activities and collective agricultural actions. The SC accumulation is strongly correlated with traditional and agriculture‐related activities. Furthermore, policies increase comprehensive SC by approximately 20% but are more effective for internal SC than for external SC. These results suggest the need for policy options such as agglomeration bonuses when expanding the range of collective actions. They also imply that soft projects to strengthen linkages between rural and urban residents (bridging‐type SC) will be important in the future. Other findings indicate that the reinforcement of agricultural corporations and educational facilities are also effective in accumulating SC.","PeriodicalId":47924,"journal":{"name":"RURAL SOCIOLOGY","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144899024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
