rural villages
Small farming communities
Rural villages are small settlements in the countryside, typically characterized by agricultural activity, lower population density, and close-knit community life.
The phrase emphasizes remoteness from urban centers: Healthcare access remains limited in rural villages.
Rural villages often appear in discussions of development, tradition, and the contrast between country and city life.
