title: A process view of the population turnaround:  an Australian rural case study.
abstract: "This paper provides empirical evidence of local-level demographic and socio-economic changes during the 'population turnaround' decade of 1970 to 1980.  The study covers a contiguous area occupied by five small country towns and their trade areas, centred around 80-90 km north of Adelaide [Australia].  These communities were surveyed in detail in 1968 and 1970 in order to make forecasts of demographic change by 1980.  In 1980, a replicatory resurvey provided data on various processes of population change operating at grass roots level."
