Abstract

Abstract A systematic random sample of 97 adult residents was drawn from a small community in central Ohio to test the relevance of a social exchange theoretical perspective for predicting involvement in local historic preservation programs. Selected variables were correlated with willingness to commit limited resources to local historic preservation efforts. The findings supported the theoretical perspective and revealed that a significant portion of the study respondents were willing to make commitments to local historic preservation efforts. Historic preservation is discussed in the context of an additional option to conventional development strategies for residents of small towns who wish to strengthen local initiative and involvement.
