Course content Meaning and tasks of the sociology as a discipline. Development of sociology and rural sociology. Methods in (rural) sociology. Basic theoretical and methodological approaches in rural sociology. Meaning, dimensions and elements of social structure. Meaning and types of social change. Global development processes as agents of change of agrarian and rural structures. Ecological problems of agriculture and rural areas. Peasant economy and changes in the agrarian structure. The old agrarian relations in Europe and Balkans and recent changes in the agrarian structure in Balkans. Family farms and features of rural areas in Serbia in present time. Rural settlements and rural population. Rural development and rural policy. The peasantry as a social class and as a political-historical factor. The social organization of local rural communities. Social groups in rural areas. Social institutions and organizations in rural areas. Rural culture - between tradition and innovation. Diffusion of innovation in agriculture and rural areas.
