Living in the country and in the city has many differences that give rise to the pros and cons, therefore in this case the life of urban society is considered better than the life of the people in the country, but that is not necessarily the case. Life in the village is not always bad, not infrequently many urban people choose to move to the country to get a life with a new or better atmosphere, such as living a quieter life away from the stressful urban crowd or go for just a trip to enjoy nature tourism who are in the countryside while the rural people go to the city to work to earn money for the sake of survival. Life in the city and in the countryside basically has an interconnected bond. Countries need cities and cities need countries. Therefore, the life of the urban community and the life of rural communities in Indonesia can depend on each other because they have differences and similarities in it that keep them together side by side.

Cities and contries are different, but the people who live there have some similarities. First, people living in rural and urban areas are bound in one country, therefore between urban and rural communities have equal rights as citizens. such as the right to get education and other right. Therefore, urban life and rural communities in Indonesia have in common in terms of their rights as citizens, so that the lives of both as Indonesian society the same in the view of state law.

Then the second is to have the same obligations as a citizen. The country of Indonesia has so many diversities, arts, customs, cultures and languages ​​that must be preserved by all its people, from the urban community to the rural community. Besides other obligations is to participate to build the country to be better than some aspects. For example between the urban community life and the life of the rural community together learn and achieve many achievements that can be a pride for the country. Therefore, urban life and rural life in Indonesia also have similarities in terms of obligations as citizens, so that their lives as Indonesian society is the same in the view of state law.

In addition to the similarities between urban communities and the rural communities above, it turns out there are so many differences found between urban life and the life of rural community in Indonesia in terms of lifestyle, infrastructure, criminality, personality, and most prominently are tribe, language, art, culture and customs. The lifestyle comparison of urban and rural communities is very clear. The urban community tends to be more consumptive and hedonistic compared with the village community, this is because in Indonesia alone the availability of places that provide various needs such as malls, supermarkets, restaurants and other entertainment venues are very much in the city. Unlike in the country which is only limited to small supermarkets, small restaurants and traditional markets.

After that the crime rate in town and in the country is also different. The crime rate in the city is much higher than in the country, this is because life in the city is hard and difficult. To find a job is also not easy, therefore, the impact is increased criminality. Unlike the crime in the country which is still fairly rare.

Then the personality between the people in the city and the people in the country is very different. The urban community tends to be more apathetic and closed to make them reluctant to care about the problems around them. While people in the country tend to be more friendly and polite this is because in their daily life they often mix.

The latter are tribes, languages, cultural arts and customs that are most prominent in the distinction between urban and rural communities. As we know that the country of Indonesia is rich in them. Communities in the city tend to be minimal to the tribe, language, cultural arts and customs of this matter because the urban community has been affected by foreign cultural activities. While in the village alone all things are still maintained.

The life of urban communities and the life of rural communities in Indonesia has similarity to their rights and obligations as citizens of indonesa which make both of them have equal position in the view of state law. Then both also have many differences, including lifestyle, infrastructure, criminality, personality, and the most prominent is the tribe, language, cultural arts and customs. Indonesia has many diverse differences from every aspect in each region, but still can unite and coexist because it is interdependent with each other such as urban communities and rural communities.
