INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
In the present time, the quality of life is an actual issue in our society. Some
people consider that the quality of life depends on the location, while others are sure that
depending on their goals/dreams in life and his/her goals in life. Statistical data says that
the location is one of the key factors that influence the quality of life. Urban and rural
living has a lot of distinguishing features that influence the quality of life to a great extent.
(Compare and Contrast Urban and Rural living essay, 2014)
Rural areas can be defined as those pieces of land that can lie outside city
centers and towns. They are mostly marked by large farms, agricultural activity or large
pieces of land that lie idle without many developmental activities. An urban area, on the
other hand, is an area marked with developed town centers and sometimes these towns
have developed into cities. In a majority of cases, these towns were once rural areas, which
through advances in technology, modernization, industrialization, and urbanization have
grown into what they are now.
In this study, the researchers wanted to elaborate on the reason why there are some
students prefer to live in urban than rural areas and vice versa. According to the Philippine
Statistics Authority (PSA) — more than half of the country’s population of over 100
Page | 2
million now reside in urban areas, with four regions registering the highest levels of
urbanization.
Additionally to give information as to the education approach of both areas can
offer since education is the main path to have a successful career for students. In which the
researchers performed various surveys on the difference between rural and urban
education, focusing on the pros and cons of education that the area has. — “Rural kids
drop their schools or fall behind. They also lack after-school activities. Many students have
to help their parents to earn a living. Moreover, not all children living in less developed
villages have the opportunity to enroll in colleges. This makes many beautiful minds to get
lost because they live in rural areas. Poverty is the very first problem that makes the
difference between rural and urban education. The rates of unemployment, malnutrition,
and poverty are higher in rural areas than in big cities. Because of population density, it
becomes more visible. Poverty, in its turn, affects educational outcomes, and frequently
leads to early drop-outs. In this case, nobody can even think of getting into college.”
The purpose of this study is to show the similarities and differences of urban and
rural lifestyles through interviews and surveying all Grade 11 Students of St. Jude College
of Dasmariñas Cavite. For the researchers’ to find out the students' insights about living in
rural where they depend on what is available in their surroundings in terms of food and has
an amicable atmosphere or to live in urban areas where everything is advanced and
technology-dependent.

a rural and an urban place with the selected Grade 11 being the respondents. Specifically,
this study aims to answer the following questions:
1. What are the Grade 11 Students of St. Jude College's insights on the benefits of
living in a rural and urban place?
 How both areas differ in terms of food sustainability, opportunities to
work, and education?
2. In what way that the city people are different in the province?
 The behavioral approach to urban and rural people.
3. How the people in both areas differ in adapting to a certain situation?
Hypothesis
The following are the null hypothesis of this research:
 There are no significant differences in living in a rural place to
urban place.
Page | 4
 There are no significant similarities between livings in rural places
to urban places.
The following are the alternative hypothesis of this research:
 There are significant differences in living in a rural place to urban
place.
 There are significant similarities between livings in rural places to
urban places.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In exploration, we found knowledge and learning that is related to our
research. This talking point prompts researchers to conduct studies about the similarities
and differences between living in urban and rural places in the response of Grade 11
Students in St. Jude College Dasmariñas, Cavite and other correlated subjects.
Leevy Roy studied in 1940 the contrasts about the urban and rural areas. He
showed that families from both rural and urban have similarities despite the differences in
location of homes and methods of making a living. Though, there are different points in
which the patterns manifest themselves in the two areas.
Nelson (2017) shows the pros of living in rural areas in terms of safety and privacy.
The said place provides another layer of privacy since fewer people are living there.
Another thing is that there is a distance present between the neighbors which there will be
Page | 9
no nosy neighbors gossiping you or “harm.” But on the brighter note, you feel safe around
the rural neighborhood since you all know each other.
Hamm (2019) stated that there’s a strong libertarian streak in an almost rural area,
which makes you more an independent person.
In this article from 2018, the lifestyle from rural areas is the complete opposite
from urban areas since they focus much more on enjoying the simpler things in life.
As mentioned, every house is distanced from each other, rural people have free
space to spare to grow crops near their houses, which they use as food sources, Which is
why their cost of living is way cheaper compared to that of urban people. Though, the fact
that they have lower salaries means less of your money goes to the government.
For job opportunities, employment in rural is scarce since the apparatuses present
in the place are limited. You also need to travel to reach such destinations which this goes
to transportation. Since places are quite far from each other, people from rural areas need
vehicles. This may be a positive thing but this also means that we need to worry about
things such as car maintenance and repair, insurance, and other responsibilities.
If you can’t afford to buy a vehicle then commuting is another way to reach your
destinations. Though, the only disadvantage of commuting in rural areas is that there are
fewer vehicles that make it hard to commute.
Page | 10
In the article from 2017, state the pros and cons of living in urban areas. Unlike in
rural areas, major cities share a lot of things, noise, lack of space, cost of living, etc. Noise
levels in urban areas are high due to the traffic, horns, sirens, the people in general and all
which restricts you to relax more or find peace.
Also, the lack of space is present in these areas. Instead of having to own large land
like in rural, urban places tend to have apartments instead. Some apartments are inside the
building which we must be creative for how we use space and some apartments or houses
in subdivisions or villages.
In terms of transportation, your transportation situation will be greatly dependent.
You will still likely to have your car but vehicles are limitless. You can ride subways,
train, bus, and others. The only downside is this is bad traffic.
The cost of living in urban areas are different compared to rural areas. Salaries tend
to be higher but this doesn’t always help with them. Prices of regular items are being
higher due to the higher concentration of people and therefore higher demand.
Ennis (1973) studied the 16 personality factors on the students who were
drawn from the rural, suburban, medium-sized urban and large urban population. The
results indicated that high achievers are more self-sufficient, more relaxed and industrious,
socially precise, and intelligent.
Page | 11
In the comparative study of Saxena in 1963 about the achievement in
science of urban and rural students, concludes that the dominance of the performance of
urban students to the performance of rural students may be due to the following: (i) The
difference in the standard of teaching; (ii) Qualifications of teachers; and (iii) Quality and
quantity of apparatus used.

METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research design, research procedure, the subject of
the study, and research instruments.
Research Design
This study determined the insights of Grade 11 Students of St. Jude College
of Dasmariñas, Cavite. The descriptive – correlation method was used in this study.
In a descriptive method, the researchers survey is to find out vulnerable
data about living in rural and urban areas, to seek information to develop and to widen the
knowledge of the researchers’, teachers’, and students’ by the means of interviewing Grade
11 Students of St. Jude College of Dasmariñas, Cavite.
Page | 12
Subject of the Study
The respondents in this study are the Grade 11 Students of St. Jude College
Dasmariñas, Cavite in the Academic Year 2019-2020.
Research Instrument
The main tool used in the study was a semi-structured interview. A set of
questions was constructed for the student respondents. The interview contains the
following questions:
1. Where is it easier to live, and why?
2. Which place is much safer to live in? Why?
3. What are your thoughts about the behavior of people in both areas?
4. The education approach present in both areas.
5. The chances of life sustainability in both areas.
Research Procedure
The original title proposed by the researchers’ was checked and revised by
the researchers’ adviser to maintain conformity to the subject of the research. The
Page | 13
researchers then constructed questions for the respondents to answer and was presented
and analyzed by the researchers’ adviser to ensure validity. Permit to conduct research was
secured by letter with the signature of the subject and academic adviser. After getting
permission, the researchers picked target respondents from every strand, interviewed them
the next day and recorded their answers through video and voice recording. After gathering
all the information from the target respondents’, the researchers analyze the gathered data.
Sampling Technique
This study is designed as typical case sampling, a type of purposive
sampling since the sample is formed by the discretion of the judge purely considering the
purpose of study along with the understanding of the target audience. The participants are
selected solely based on research requirements and elements who do not suffice the
purpose are kept out of the sample. Typical case sampling is a purposive sampling
technique used when you are interested in the normality/typicality of the units (e.g.,
people, cases, events, settings/contexts, places/sites) you are interested in because they
are normal/typical. The word typical does not mean that the sample is representative in the
sense of probability sampling (i.e., that the sample shares the same/similar characteristics
of the population being studied). Rather, the word typical means that the researcher can
compare the findings from a study using typical case sampling with other similar samples
(i.e., comparing samples, not generalizing a sample to a population). Hence, a total of 20

respondents were selected: 8 from HUMSS, 2 from CK, 1 from HK 3 from GAS, and 6
from STEM.

CK Strand, 1 from HK S Strand and 3 students from GAS Strand.
2. Interview Questions
2.1 Easier Place to Live
The majority of the respondents are in favor of living in rural areas, where
according to them, living in rural areas is much easier because the resources are more
accessible and have an amiable atmosphere.
Page | 17
While the rest of the respondents prefer urban areas, because of the advance
technologies/ facilities, better transportation, and education.
2.2 Safety
In this question, most of the respondents are in favor of the idea that rural is a safer
place to live since, for them, the people in the neighborhood are familiar with each other.
The reason why they didn’t choose urban as a safer place to live because they believe that
urban areas are prone to accidents and have a higher crime rate.
Meanwhile, the minority of the respondents prefer urban because the government is
more attentive in providing security to the public.
2.3 Behavior
The perspective of some respondents states that urban people’s behavior is different
from those that live in rural, wherein they mentioned that urban people are difficult to
approach since they are dependent on technology and social media. While urban people
believe that is updated in the latest trend as to lifestyle, fashion, technology, etc. , is a must
for them. This affects the image of urban people to look unapproachable to rural people.
Page | 18
On the other hand, urban people state that rural people are nice and friendly. Also,
they show more respect to other people especially to elders unlike most teenagers in urban
areas.
Some respondents shared that, people in both areas are neither alike nor different.
2.4 Education
The majority of the respondents stated that there’s no difference in the education
approach in both areas. Since rural areas also give good quality of education and teachers
are focused on their students, even though they lack facilities and advancement in lessons.
While in the case of urban areas, they may have complete facilities and much better
lectures, but in some cases, teachers don’t have the initiative to give proper guidance to
those students who are being left behind in the pursuit of their studies.
2.5 Life Sustainability
Urban Areas:
Most of the resources are present in this place, but the price is a bit higher
than in rural areas since the products are being processed and mostly imported from other
places. In terms of opportunities in work and career advancement, they find it easier to get
Page | 19
a job since agencies are established in cities. In terms of facilities, urban areas are one step
ahead in terms of modernity and advance technology, plus there are more utilities
compared to rural areas.
Rural Areas:
In this place, resources are more accessible since they get most of them in
their vicinity. For the opportunities in work, they find it hard to look for a stable job, also
there is a required age to be able to work unlike in urban, they allow underage to work as a
part-timer. In terms of facilities, they have less equipment to provide.
Chapter V
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION
This chapter presents the summary of the findings, the conclusions made and the
recommendations offered.
Summary
Page | 20
This study was observed at St. Jude College Dasmariñas, Cavite with the Grade 11
students from different strands as respondents’. A descriptive method was used in this
study. The researchers’ used a semi-structured interview to discover the respondents’
insights about living in rural and urban areas.
The problem was conducted to determine the viewpoint of Grade 11 Students in St.
Jude College Dasmariñas, Cavite (SJCDC) regarding the following questions: Which place
is easier to live and why? Which place is safer to live in? What is the behavior of the
people in both areas? What is the educational approach that they have in both areas? How
do they sustain their daily needs?
Through these problems stated, the researchers came up with the following
hypotheses: H1 There is no significant difference in living in a rural place to urban place
and vice versa. H2 There is a significant difference in living in a rural place to urban place
and vice versa.
After administering the questions, the researchers decipher the answers to be ab;e
to determine the viewpoint of the respondents of the behavior, education, and necessities
both in rural and urban areas.
Conclusions
Based on the data that the researchers’ have gathered, most of the respondents
prefer to live in a rural area in terms of available resources, simple way of living, and the
Page | 21
behavior that rural people has, such as respect to others most especially to the elderly and
the amiable atmosphere they are experiencing.
In terms of the education approach, there is no much difference based on the
respondents since both areas can give a good quality of education, though both areas lack
in some aspects.
In terms of safety, they stated that rural area is a safer place to live since people in
the neighborhood are familiar to each other, they also stated that urban place has a higher
crime rate compared to the rural areas, although, the government is more attentive to
provide security to the people in urban areas.
In terms of job opportunities, it is easier to get in urban areas since the
establishment of agencies is there, plus underage people can also work as part-timers
compared to rural areas, they have none of these as it has an age requirement.
Recommendations
The researchers had made recommendations based on the conclusion:
1. The researchers recommend to future researchers to have a greater number of
respondents with a ratio of 5:5 (for example, if the respondents from rural areas
have 30, the number of respondents from urban areas should have the same.)
Page | 22
2. The researchers recommend this study to the people who are not aware of what
rural and urban areas have or to help those people who are finding a place that suits
them.
3. The researchers recommend those future generation researchers find more concrete
and accurate data to use for their research.

TRANSCRIPTION OF INTERVIEW
1. STEM
a. Bañadera (Laguna)
i. Where is it easier to live, and why?
Page | 24
“I think it’s easier to live in rural because the products in this place
is less expensive and there are many plants and trees where you can
get them as your sources of food. While in urban, I think the
products there are more expensive because it was imported from
other places or provinces like cloth, fruits, and vegetables.”
ii. Which place is much safer to live in? Why?
“Rural is a safer place to live because there are fewer cars, meaning
there less chances of accidents. While in urban, there are lots of
people, it’s scary because there are (many) criminals.”
iii. What are your thoughts about the behavior of people in both areas?
“In urban, there are people there who are prideful, boastful but they
are nice. In rural, people there very generous despite of they only get
almost none.”
iv. The education approach present in both areas.
“The education approach is better in urban because the facilities
there are better and complete and the quality of education is great. In
terms of teachers’ skills, urban is also great due to the enhancement
of teaching to their students.”
v. The chances of life sustainability in both areas.
Page | 25
“It’s easier to find jobs in urban and has easier transportation. While
in food, it’s easier to get in rural since there are fruits and vegetables
present.”
b. Alcomendras (Negros Occidental)
“For me it’s rural. Because even that it is a farmland, it is tranquil to
live in that place. While in urban it is overcrowded there and it has a
higher risk that you can get a disease.”
“I think it’s urban. In terms of safety, it’s better there. For example,
if there are accidents happen there are near hospitals to admit and
there are police that are easier to access.”
“Depends. There are people from rural places who are well-
disciplined and there are very abusive, same goes for urban.
“For me, it’s better in rural because even though you’re from public
or private, their system is the same. Even the teachers’ salaries are
not that high, they are diligent to teach.”
Page | 26
“Just like what I’ve said before, it’s easier to get food in a rural
place. There, you can plant vegetables in your backyard and may use
them for your everyday needs. In terms of work, it’s easier in urban
because, in rural, there are less better jobs while in urban there’s a
lot and has a higher minimum wage.”
c. Danao (Makati)
“Urban because in terms of transportation everything is there such
as MRT, LRT, Grab, etc. Also, all opportunities are present here
especially work (the salary is higher), the minimum wage is higher
in urban than in rural”
“Urban. Since there are streetlights everywhere at night thus, you
don’t have to worry.”
“Rural people are nicer because they are friendly and easy to
approach.”
“They have the same educational approach. The only difference is
that the facilities in urban have larger improvements and complete
Page | 27
unlike in rural, not all facilities there cannot upgrade or improve
theirs.”
“In urban, there is a greater chance of sustainability because job
opportunities are present there. The transportation is also convenient
there. Also, the salary in urban has higher minimum wage compared
to rural that’s why there are rural people go to urban places.”
d. Insigne (Mindoro)
“Rural because it is quieter there and more peaceful when you live
there. It’s easier because our province is really small that almost all
the people there know you and there is unity present.”
“For me, rural because it is far from the chaos and it is peaceful
there.
“In urban, there are people there who are prideful, boastful but they
are nice. In rural, people there very generous despite of they only get
almost none.”
Page | 28
“For me, the educational approach is better in rural, even though
they lack in facilities, the teaching strategies there are great.”
“It’s easier to find jobs in urban and has easier transportation. While
in food, it’s easier to get in rural since there are fruits and vegetables
present.”
e. Montallana (Eastern Samar)
“For me, it’s easier to live in urban than rural depending on the
person where he is more comfortable. So based on my experience,
it’s easier in rural because your expenses are not that big and the
products there are not that expensive.”
“Depends on the person how they handle themselves.”
“Of course there are behaviors that are bad and good. There are
crime incidents also happening in the rural place but not as many as
in urban that there are “mabigat” cases like what happened to Vhong
Navarro.”
Page | 29
“The education approach is better in rural because the teachers there
tend to focus more on teaching the students.”
“In terms of food, it’s in rural. You’re lucky if you can plant them to
your lot. The transportation is not a problem here in rural since you
can walk to reach your certain destination.”
f. Garma (Ilocos Norte/Quezon City)
“For me, it’s easier to live in rural because the resources are already
present there. Plus, having an easier place/lifestyle for me is
working hard to get what you need. For urban, yes it’s fairly easy
there too but there are cases like food, materials are harder to get
compared to the rural places.”
“It depends on where you live and how you handle yourself in your
surroundings so for me, there’s none.”
“In terms of socializing, urban people are more approachable for me
since they know how they welcome newcomers to theirs. In the case
of my situation living in rural areas, some people are arrogant and
feel like they’re superior and all.”
Page | 30
“The education approach of both areas is different in terms of
different aspects: in terms of teaching, rural has it better since
teachers there are like “they know exactly what to do” or more
experienced since most of them there are older. For facilities, urban
has it better since they are more advanced.”
“Job opportunities in urban places have higher chances than rural
places because of the establishments present there. For
transportation, it’s also easier in urban because, in my province,
there are no trains, jeeps and so on. Only tricycles and buses are
only present there. As for the resources it depends on what materials
you need for you. But for in case of food, you can get it easier in
rural areas.”
2. GAS

“I think it’s easier here in urban because here everything is present
like transportation.”
“It’s safer in rural because it’s quieter there and there’s less
pollution”
“I think people in urban places are wild because they are noisier and
they are updated. While in rural, people there are composed and
well-disciplined.”
“There are more apparatuses present in urban places compared to
rural places and in terms of teaching they are the same.”
“Like I said, in rural, it’s more peaceful there and simpler.”
b. Balocating
Page | 32
“For me, it’s easier to live in rural because you can plant crops as
your source of food. You don’t need to buy from supermarkets of
what you need anymore.”
“For me, it’s rural because there, you know or familiar with the
people there and you know such things. Here, sometimes people are
just “avoiding things out” that makes you feel unsafe.”
“In rural, people there are like they’re your friends that are easy to
socialize with. While here in urban, sometimes people here are
prideful to the other people.”
“In urban, the quality of education here is better because they have
better access to facilities such as books for the students. Where in
rural, it’s hard sometimes because you need to travel far just to reach
the school you’re attending. In urban, they have a better way of
teaching.”
“In rural, there are almost no problems because the things you need
are already there while in urban you need to work hard just to get
money to spend on your needs.”
Page | 33
c. Verano
“It’s easier in rural because you can live there even you don’t have
much money in you and you can work things to earn your needs
from your surroundings.”
“It’s both places. It only depends on the person or place how you
handle yourself for safety.”
“For me, they are the same as I can approach people from both areas
to socialize or interact with them.”
“In rural, it’s okay but the difference to urban is the language
barrier. That’s the hardest thing for me to adjust.”
“There are no differences in both areas.”

“It’s easier to live in a rural place because you don’t have to buy
food. Instead, you can get them from your plot. The difference in the
urban is that the products here are expensive
“Rural. There are fewer vehicles there and peaceful.”
“For me, urban people know kinds of stuff to do unlike us; we’re
still working on things. While in terms of behavior, there are no
differences.”
“It’s more advance in urban compared to rural areas.”
“It’s better here because there are more job opportunities compared
to rural areas. While for food, it’s easier in rural because we can
only plant our food.”
b. Espero
Page | 35
“It’s easier here in rural, compared to the people from both places,
the behaviors are different. Here, people are hard to approach
because they judge you like that. While in rural, when you approach
the people there to deal you nicely like they greet you and tell you
short stories that are happening to them, it feels like you know each
other in a long time.”
“Rural. Because here you’re like trying getting away from people,
for example, you get a pass to a person, you think he’s already a
thief but it’s just a normal person. Here in rural, the people have
friendly expressions.”
“There’s a big gap between the two. In rural, even there’s no “po”
and “opo” you can hear from the tone or feel the person talking
shows respect. People there show there love to their parents while in
urban it’s like they act immaturely to their parents. It’s like the
culture of respecting elders in the province still carries with them
growing up unlike in urban ignores it. The people in urban are so
updated that they depend so much on social media, it’s like when
they leave it for a while they already think themselves as losers.”

“There is no difference.”
“It’s easier to get jobs in urban places because even that you’re
underage, they accept you as a part-timer while in rural they don’t
accept them or part-timers. While getting resources is easier in rural
as you can plant the crops in your lot while in urban, you buy them
which costs you more.”

the opposite. There are lots of buildings, the houses are stick
together.”

happening in those places. Unlike in rural, there is less traffic, there

unlike in urban, people there are aware of what’s happening
surrounding them.”

can get them as your sources of food unlike here you need to work

in the urban place.”

and polite. So it’s like the same.”

c. Villanueva
“For me, it’s rural because sometimes the fruits that sell here are
already rotten unlike there you can get the fruit anytime (since the
fruits are already there near you) also it’s quite hard to get food here

the money to buy your needs.”

hassling to live in since it is unsafe (which there are a lot of
criminals) while in rural you’re very familiar with the people there.”

as you are not sure that there are might things happen to you.”

the learning of students since I came from a high section, instead of
using our mother tongue we use English as our language. There, it

ability or knowledge.”
“In terms of food, it’s more prosperous in the rural place because
they are already in front or near you unlike here in urban you need
to buy every product to sustain your needs. For opportunities it’s
better in urban.”

in the area unlike in urban you need to search more just to get things
like for speech choir, you need tree stems as props, it’s easier to get
when you’re from rural than urban.”
Page | 42
“For me, you can’t say whether which place is safer because not all
people there are familiar to you but for me it’s rural because I’m
already used to it, also there, the moves there are already nurtured to
you.”
“For me rural people are independent and responsible. wHile I
noticed here in urban is that people are more focused on gadgets and
they looked spoiled.”

also go to the urban places just to teach as the facilities present in the
provinces are lacking.”

its own plot so like Friday night or weekends after school, wo go to
those land to harvest/ plant crops for our food because that;s how I
do there. While in terms for job opportunities, they are the same.”
g. Almendras
“Rural, even though life there is harder, I feel the fresh air there

women because kids nowadays in urban are more exposed to

internet and as for teachers focus on students in both areas.”

more opportunities while in rural that only agricultural works while
for food, it is easier in rural.”
