Context: 

The post industrialization era and the changes in economic structures demands rural communities to think how the work and livelihood can be provided in rural areas.
As the new technology and new management models allow people to work in different locations, the possibilities to choose the place of living and the mode of working increases. You can select your favorite location to work.

Most of the telecommuting work is been done from the home offices, but there is also a need for social interaction with others. To respond this demand rural towns/communities must also able to offer suitable working spaces that supports the telecommuters and (single) entrepreneurs in their work and offer places for social interaction.
