| Abstract | Longitudinal changes in satisfaction with selected community services were examined in three nonmetropolitan counties in central Alabama, focusing on variation in changes across three groups (government officials, business leaders, household respondents) and on the relation of changes in satisfaction for individual services to overall community satisfaction. Interviews were conducted in 1974 and 1977, with longitudinal data available for 110 business leaders, 92 government officials, and 101 household residents. Services rated were water, sewage, garbage, telephone, fire protection, health care, public schools, and recreation. In general, levels of satisfaction of officials and business respondents toward services increased, while those of household residents declined. However, households showed a greater increase in overall community satisfaction, indicating a relative absence of relationship between change in satisfaction with services and change in overall community satisfaction. As for influence of community group membership, government officials held consistently more positive views of services over time than either business leaders or household respondents. Dissatisfaction was greatest for all groups with recreation. There was little support for the thesis that increased movement to rural areas is tied to greater satisfaction with rural community services. (RS) |
