摘要：In this essay, we will try a certain approach to the intangible aspects of rural development, a contribution to the knowledge of idiosyncrasy of people living in rural areas, studying the perceptions and bearings of young people that live or dwell in rural areas in Extremadura. Deep changes taking place in rural environment bring about a new set of values and beliefs towards the future. We would like to find out whether the apprehension of life that young people of rural extraction show is turning to a fresh set of values apprising non-material advantages of the rural environment. In fact, our target is to find out their spirits and their perception of the possibility that, regardless of the demographic decline in rural areas, villages would come up again. In short, we state in this essay some approaches to the following topics: the level of concern about the problems regarding rural environment, the symbolic insight into rural life, the upbringing of youngsters under a new set of values, their labour and carrier expectancies and life prospects for young students of rural extraction.
