Emergent Citizen Groups
Generates a theoretical construct of rural-urban differences based on local citizen organizations concerned with disaster issues. Ancilliary objectives of the study involve the developments of a practical analytical framework for the study of organizational cultures at the community level, and the introduction of empirically-based hypotheses on behavioural aspects of the rural and urban emergent collective organizations. The results of the study in terms of chief practical implications implies a workable and feasibile means to incorporate empirical methodologies for the study of organizational cultures at the community level, and the recognition that the development of polar constructs provide a worthwhile approach to explain fundamental differences in social phenomena. The results also indicate the importance of studying both behavioural and attidunal characteristics as a complete process for explanation and understanding of comparative social differences
