[Higher rural mortality or lower urban mortality in France? (author's transl)].

Examination of crude and standardized rates, life expectancies and death probabilities by age shows an excess of mortality for males and females in little towns (less than 10 000 inhabitants) and on the other hand a lower mortality in parisian area. One aspect of the problem--relation between mortality and urbanisation (localities size)--is not the same with the sexes. For males, there is a lower mortality in rural area, on the contrary, for females, mortality is decreasing while the size of the locality is increasing. It would be possible to explain this results by parameters closely connected with urbanisation, such as socio-economic groups, marital status, health system. A next research will take this parameters and medical causes into account.

Intestinal parasitic infections and urbanization.

About a third of the population in the cities of developing countries live in slums and shanty towns. By the year 2000 it is estimated that this number will grow to 2200 million, and by 2025 about 57% of the population in developing countries will be in urban areas. The prevalence of infections caused by Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia intestinalis and the prevalence and intensity of Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura infections may increase among the rural populations who are migrating to these urban and suburban settings owing to the favourable conditions for transmission. Urgent consideration should therefore be given to improving sanitation in deprived urban areas and to treating periodically these populations to reduce the worm burden, especially in school-age children.

Perception of AIDS by Esikhawini Community.

This study was undertaken to assess the perception of AIDS by Esikhawini Community in KwaZulu Natal. The assumption was that the more health education is given to the community, the more knowledgeable the community becomes. The study revealed that the community is aware of AIDS. Sufferers pose a challenge to health workers as talks by health units ranked third in the sources contributing to the knowledge about AIDS. A descriptive cross sectional survey design was used and the questionnaire had both closed and open ended questions.

Indonesia: population distribution and redistribution.

The author describes "the broad pattern of contemporary population distribution in Indonesia and the major changes which have occurred in this pattern between the 1930, 1961 and 1971 census enumerations and the 1976 intercensal survey." In the final section, he outlines some of the major demographic, social, economic, political, and geographic factors associated with these patterns of distribution and redistribution.

Some models for patterns of urbanization, migration and development.

"This paper aims to study the pattern of urbanization and the evolution of [the] relationship between rural-urban migration and the degree of economic development taking Gross National Product...into consideration. Intercensal age-specific rural net out-migration rates are also estimated from [tabulations] of the proportion of rural population of India by age through a recently developed procedure based on generalized stable population by Stupp (1989). A comparative study is also made between [the] survival column of India with a developed nation like Japan."

Accessibility to general hospitals in rural Bendel State, Nigeria.

The concern is growing in Nigeria as in many other developing countries that the rural population, in spite of its size, is the most neglected in the distribution of social facilities. Even in the rural areas the spatial disparity in the location of the few available facilities aggravates the problem of some segments of the population. The case of accessibility to general hospitals in rural Bendel State of Nigeria is examined in this paper because general hospitals are crucial to the success of the free medical delivery system being attempted in the state. Using some surrogate measures of accessibility the study attempts a classification of all the rural Local Government Areas in the state according to their relative accessibility to general hospitals. Finally, the paper discusses some implications of the findings for social services planning in Nigeria and other developing countries.
