Abstract
The importance of gender in community development has been a neglected issue in U.S. community development. This study analyzed the extent to which male and female respondents differed in their willingness to support community services. Using data from needs assessments conducted in eight rural counties in Illinois, the authors tested the hypothesis that certain community services are more likely to be supported by women than by men, since women are more affected by them. Tests of significance showed virtually no differences between men and women in terms of the type of services they were willing to support. Several implications of the findings are discussed.
