Environmental cognition of small rural towns: The case of older residents
Abstract This study reports the relation of town size and personal and demographic characteristics of 989 rural older persons to five environmental cognition dimensions: perceived neighborhood size, neighborhood ratio, awareness of town amenities, number of amenity types and tour ratio. Town size differences were found for all five dimensions: residents of smaller towns (0–500 in population) identified smaller neighborhoods but larger neighborhood ratios, listed fewer town amenities and amenity types, and produced smaller tour ratios, than did residents of larger towns (1,501–2,500 in population). Relations were also found for gender, marital status, dwelling unit type, employment status, religion, and mental health status.
