      abstract = {In Great Britain the make-up of rural communities  is
changing. Young individuals are moving to cities and
the  population of rural communities is ageing. In this
context,  it is important to sustain and enhance people’s
well-being  and community cohesion. The purpose
of this paper is to  show that pubs are important
facilitators of community  cohesion and ultimately
well-being of residents. This is  done by compiling a
database of secondary data at the  parish level of rural
communities of England. From this  data, measures of
community cohesion and social interaction  are derived
and correlated with the number of pubs  within
the parish. Pubs are found to be statistically  significantly
positively associated with community  cohesion
and social interaction. The paper goes on to  construct
regression and path models to relate the number  of
pubs and community cohesion and interaction to  selfreported
health as a proxy for well-being.  Significant
positive associations are again found. These  findings
provide a strong case to foster the sustainability  of
rural pubs. Diese Studie untersucht den Einfluss  ländlicher Pubs
auf den sozialen Zusammenhalt und die  Lebensqualität
in ländlichen Regionen Großbritanniens. Die  Autoren
untersuchen dabei, ob ländliche Pubs  einen
positiven Effekt auf den gemeinschaftlichen  Verbund
und das Wohlbefinden in der Kommune ausüben.  Die
von den Autoren entwickelte ökonometrische  Analyse
umfasst Regressions- sowie Pfad-Modelle und  nutzt
die Gesundheitswerte von Kommunenmitgliedern  als
Proxy für örtliches Wohlbefinden. Die Ergebnisse
dieser  Arbeit liefern starke Argumente für die Förderung
der  Erhaltung ländlicher Pubs.},
