The existence and quality of intracommunity ties has long been recognized as a factor that determines how conflicts evolve over scarce resources and other threats (Simmel 1904 [1955], Coser 1956, Mack 1965). Still, no empirical research has tested the effects of drought or severe water scarcity on urban support ties. Laughlin and Brady argue that if resource scarcity becomes severe enough, cooperative ties will break down as people focus on their own needs, and withdraw from reciprocal exchange relationships and social relationships. x_SL>043MrLqR)@LR|NKj+N[q_ Stewart-Gambino and E.L.

After five years of practice and hands-on instruction in ethnographic and survey research methods, I have become an experienced and capable researcher. In marginal urban settings, poverty and mutual assistance foster social support networks (Low 1999) that strengthen community ties. Data from the interviews will be used to construct an ordinal measure of water use (H4-6) and four interval-level dependent variables: the number of generalized reciprocal exchanges that occurred in the last week (H1,3), the number of households with which the respondents exchanged in the last week (H4), the number of social visits that occurred in the last week (H2,5), the number of households with which the respondents visited in the last week (H6). Field notes and transcribed narratives that include anecdotes about tie breaking and water conflicts will be coded to indicate if the case supports or disproves any of the hypotheses. Under Dr. Bernard's direction, I have conducted ethnographic interviews, transcribed narratives, and done text analysis, social network analysis, and multivariate analyses.

What housework do you do (shopping, scrubbing, cooking, dishes, etc.)?
