Abstract | To determine degree of local support for industrialization as a means of rural economic development, leaders and influentials in three South Carolina counties were interviewed in 1977. Each was asked to define "development" and to list and rank three aspects of his county he especially liked and its most important needs or problems. Responses mentioning industrialization, lack or excess of it, and its favorable or unfavorable connotations were coded for analysis. About one-half of the respondents listed some aspect of industrialization in their definitions of development, with respondents from Kershaw (the county having the highest socioeconomic indicators and industrialized since World War II) perceiving the strongest relationship. Of the 35.7% of all respondents who believed lack of industry to be a problem, 19.4% ranked it the most serious problem. Variations by county, however, were evident. Substantial direct support for industrialization surfaced in Kershaw County, which has a balanced economic base. Williamsburg County, with an agricultural economic base, showed weak direct support for industrialization, though substantial interactional and organizational support existed for it. Both direct and indirect support in Union County, where economy is tied to forest products and textile manufacturing, was meager. (RS) |
