Abstract

Decentralization of industry from urban to suburban and rural areas is a notable current trend. One zone where it is particularly marked is the rapidly expanding "Bay Area" around San Francisco, where a number of planned industrial communities are springing up. This is a first general report of a study being made by a staff and graduate student group at Stanford University of the movement of industry into a semi-rural community within that area. A prime purpose of the study, which will continue over a period of years, is to assess the special contributions the behavioral science field of social anthropology can make to research on industrial community development.
