In Australia, remoteness indicators have often been used to measure 'disadvantage'. The disadvantage is rarely critically discussed in the Australian literature. Rather it is described with a range of indicators, and from my view, just taken as a given. Remoteness is one of them. I'm interested in hearing from researchers who have considered these issues in other places.
I need to find a scale to measure self-reported urban vs. rural classification of my respondents - being a psychological variable, rather than a spatial or a locational one. In other words, whether they perceive themselves being a part of urban or rural community.
This is simplified as my research will adopt basic urban/rural classification based on population: Rural areas = small towns with less than 50K inhabitants and urban areas = anything above.
If you have any specific academic pieces in mind, I would hugely appreciate them, because I`m struggling to find adequate measure.
Thank you in advance!

It seems that there are few papers recently using this concept, I wonder why.
I need to make a survey in sport clubs like fitness, yoga, tennis, squash and swimming pools about participants' perception of their club's location. I'll make the research in a big (almost 1 mln) city.
Later on I would like to combine results with an agent based model (ABM) - get characteristics of participants and put in my ABM.
The best scenario would be to have a representative random sample, but it is impossible to get a full list of participants (sampling frame). There are only lists for fitness clubs and none for the others. Some of them come only occasionally.
Do you think it would be reasonable to randomly, proportionally choose sport clubs, regarding their type, later on randomly select hours of activities performed and make a survey with everyone who came at certain hour.
Would it give representative opinion for all participants? And could I then count a sampling error and confidence interval? How could I improve representativeness here?
I am also wondering how big my sample should be? Is 1000 questionaries enough? In fact I don't know how many participants are in those clubs. The only thing I could use here are quite new results of national survey - I can get characteristics of sport participants.
I would be grateful for any help.
Best regards,

I'm actually working on landscape representation and I am in a dead end definition with the term "institution".
I'm trying to shed ligth on a geographical approach of the relation between insitutional actors' representation of lanscape and other type of actors' representation of landscape. But what's fit in "institution" groups and what is outside this classification?
I think "Institution" is not appropriate but to be shure I have to define this term deeply.
