Rural areas (also reffered to as "the country", countryside) are sparsely settled places away from the influence of large cities and towns. Such areas are distinct from more intensively settled urban and suburban areas, and also from unsettled lands such as outback or wilderness. People in rural areas live in villages, on farms and in other isolated houses, as in pre-industrial societies.
In modern usage, rural areas can have an agricultural character, though many rural areas are characterized by an economy based on logging, mining, petroleum and natural gas exploration, or tourism.
Lifestyles in rural areas are different from those in urban areas, mainly because limited services, especially public services are available. Governmental services like police, schools, fire stations, and libraries may be distant, limited in scope, or unavailable. Utilities like water, sewerage, street lighting, and public waste management may not be present. Public transport is absent or very limited, people use their own vehicles, walk, bicycle, or ride an animal, e.g., a horse, donkey,or camel.
