Abstract
MONTOYA-SANABRIA, Sandra Milena. Rurality as an analytic category: implications for public health. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.6, pp.642-648. Epub Feb 04, 2021. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v22n6.91280.
Rurality as a concept was originated within the framework of the migration phenomena of the nineteenth century. During the post-war period, a dichotomic approach was established for this concept, along with the emerging notion of growth, which influenced the economic models of multiple countries worldwide. However, during the last 50 years, the rurality concept acquired a polysemic nature. Thus, the main objective of this article is analyzing several definitions of rurality from the perspective of some subdisciplines of the social sciences and their lines of thought to evaluate their implications for public health within different contexts.
