Abstract
- The concept of cognitive mapping as drawn from sociological phenomenology is used to clarify the complexity of the concept of community. Fifty residents of a Midwestern rural area were asked to drawn maps of their community. The maps reveal individual differences in the perception of a community and a tendency for the perception of community to vary by gender. Where the activities within a community tend to he segregated, there will also tend to be different viewpoints or cognitive map of the community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
