Modern Social Division of Labour and Rural Social System

Abstract

In the first part of this article, the author presents several basic facts about the project »The Valley Flooded«, and about the determining implications of technical and technological innovations and processes in rural environment. The author’s general hypothesis reads as follows: »Every technical and technological change brings about social changes, in the first place, a new distribution of labour.« On the base of collected empirical data the author confronts attitudes of peasants and those of some social institutions towards the introduction of innovation processes, and in connection with this states that their interests have not been always identical. Therefore, the author having in mind this conceptual approach, which is actually the model of conceptual-hypothetical frame for an investigation of a processes of rapid penetration of technical innovations, stresses the need of identity of interests towards innovations. This need he presents in a form of twelve hypotheses at the end of his article
