摘要:The objective of the paper is to examine the relationship between sprawl and neighborhood social conflicts between non-farm residents and farmers in north Alabama. To accomplish the objective, the paper employed a probit and ordinal probit regression models and analyzed 2000 census data and 2004 data from the multi-county survey of farmers in areas where sprawl has been identified to be a problem. The findings shed some light to the ongoing social conflict between non-farm residents and farmers in north Alabama.
