Examining the consequences of the First World War, it can be concluded that its impact on the demographic conditions was significant. In addition to the national data it is important to examine them on local level, too. Based on these studies interesting data have been found. Therefore, I have decided to examine the 20th century history of my hometown, Gyomaendrõd in detail. (It is important to note that during the investigated period Gyoma and Endrõd were two separate villages.) Gyoma village is a traditional lowland settlement which is located in Bekes County. Based on the 1910 census, 11 699 people lived in Gyoma. The denominational share of Gyoma in 1910 shows a Calvinistic majority (74%), Catholic (15%) and Lutheran (8,5%) minority. If the nationalities are examined, it can be noticed that 94% of the population is of Hungarian nationality, while there is a 5% German minority. In my research I set two main objectives: Firstly, I will clarify how many of the men enlisted from the settlement died, where, when and in which corps. Based on the exact war loss and official statistics it will be shown how it led to social, demographic and economic changes in the life of the village. For my research I used documents found in the Békés County Archives of Békési Branch Archives, more precisely the death certificates were used as primary resources.

By using both qualitative and quantitative data generated from primary as well as secondary sources the study tries to find out to what extent the social mobilization approach of UNDP supported Village Development Program (VDP) was effective to include and able to empower the indigenous Tharu people. The socio-economic status of majority of Tharus was weak and limited by state policies since historical period and local power relations which played the pivotal role to result to exclude them from the mainstream of development. In macro level the social mobilization approach of VDP was strong to initiate the issue of inclusion to empower the marginalized people, but in local level it was weak to implement the policies efficiently and effectively regards to local diverse conditions and differentiated actors. The diversity in the village resulted in the different responses to the social mobilization program. Particularly the social mobilization process was generalized and limited by the local networks of power relation.

The importance of mutual learning between providers and recipients of development assistance has been emphasised for decades. Nevertheless, its practical implementation remains limited, primarily due to organisational issues and unequal power relations in development aid. Using the ‘design-thinking’ approach, this study demonstrates the possibility of mutual learning utilising the example of the Swiss Red Cross and the Village Health Committees in the Kyrgyz Republic. Based on the related project documentation and interviews with relevant partners, this article provides an insight into the factors enabling mutual learning in practice. It suggests that decentralisation of the organisation, its leadership and response to failures, continuous contact between provider and recipient of development assistance, and emphasis on local expertise contribute to learning. Although context-specific, these findings are essential to understanding the mutual learning in general and taking this phenomenon from theory to practice.

Multiethnic borderlands, like Transcarpathia in Western Ukraine, are characterized by ethnic-linguistic-confessional complexity where ethnic boundary-making and ethnic categorization are constructed and rooted in politics. The present study aims to analyze how the mechanisms of ethnic categorization and boundary-making play out on a local level. Based on data analysis and fieldwork conducted in Hudya/Gődényháza in Transcarpathia, a village with ethnically, linguistically, and denominationally diverse population, we describe how “ethnicity” is getting blurred and reconstructed in the narrative strategies of residents. We examine the characteristics of the various classification systems (external classification, self-reporting) and their relation to each other. It is found that the ethnic, linguistic, and denominational affiliations in the village (and its wider region) are often divergent, which is reflected in the significant discrepancy between the data gathered in various ethnic classification systems. We argue that denomination is the prime factor of both self-identification and external classification, obscuring the boundaries between religious and standard ethnic terms. We further point to the formation of new boundaries between autochthonous and allochthonous populations. Although this cleavage emerged a few decades ago and has been transgressed by dozens of marriages among autochthonous and newcomers, it can easily get ethnicized, thus it adds an extra layer to the existing distinctions.

The purpose of this article. is to highlight theoretical principles of creating an Internet resource of the land fund in Stepnohirsk village council, Zaporizhzhia region for streamlining information about the structure and peculiarities of land use within it. The main material. The issue of land registration and monitoring does not apply to the land cadastre and is often presented on the isolated portals in the Internet resources of the leading European and American countries, connected with the land fund. At the same time, there is no specialized resource where all information about land would be collected. As such a resource, the most expedient way is to develop the Internet resource of a land fund for a separate village council (territorial community) as a territory corresponding to the primary collection of factual data on quantitative- qualitative land characteristics. Within our research, such internet resource was created for Stepnohirsk Village Council Vasylivsky District of Zaporizhzhia region. The interface menu includes the following components: main, administration, land fund, settlements, land monitoring, regulatory framework, announcements, photo gallery, as well as two personal cabinets – that of a user and a civil servant. The content part of the created Internet resource includes general information about settlements and adjoining territories, legislative acts, an interactive map showing the prevalent natural or man-made disadvantages and information about the land fund. One of the main internet resources is an Internet reception (a component of the user’s personal cabinet), where the user can write a formal request to the village council and register for the reception. Its purpose is to establish communication between civil servants. The user can work with documents, save them, print, mark (but only copies that have been saved), emphasize markers, and forward them to other users. This will help the village council workers to put new points to monitor or verify, to mark a certain object on the map. Conclusions and further research. Creation of an Internet resource of the land fund of the village council will allow: a) to systematize information about the structure of the land fund and peculiarities of its use within the village council; b) implement an operational update of available data and monitor land resources in real time; c) to establish informational interaction between public services and local residents, including in relation to the issues of priority land use tasks that require urgent resolution. The perspective is realization of the opportunity for civil servants to have an electronic archive of documents and for local residents – to order information about the history of a separate land plot.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has struck many countries, including Indonesia. The Indonesian government has created and implemented various policies in dealing with this epidemic, from the central government to the villages. The COVID-19 pandemic response at the local level is regulated in a Village Minister Circular Number 8 of 2020. In tackling the outbreak at the village level, leadership that can embrace all stakeholders is required. This study examines further the collaborative leadership of Wali Nagari in mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic in Nagari Rancak in West Sumatra Province. The research approach used was qualitative with descriptive analysis. The research was conducted in five villages in West Sumatra Province. Data collection techniques in the form of interviews and documentation. This study concluded that the three Nagari Rancak, namely Nagari Batu Bulek, Nagari Sungayang, and Nagari Pakan Sinayan, did not apply collaborative leadership to the maximum, while the other two Nagaris, namely the Nyalo IV Koto Mudiek River Village and the Taram Nagari, had implemented a collaborative leadership model. With collaborative leadership, the Nagari’s Wali (leaders) could cover the limitations to overcome COVID-19 impacts in the village.

Horizontal Inequalities

India in the early years of the twenty-first century achieved per capita growth rates that were historically unprecedented. Poverty reduction also accelerated. There is concern, however, that this growth was accompanied by a rise in inequality. In this chapter, we report on a research project that examines inequality trends and dynamics at the all-India level over three decades up to 2011/12 and contrasts these with evidence at the level of the village or the urban block. We further unpack inequality to explore dynamics in terms of the movement of people within the income distribution over time. The assessment of mobility is informed both by evidence at the very local level, and by aggregate, national-level trends. The study attempts, further, to assess horizontal inequalities into a measure of inequality of opportunity as captured by inter-generational mobility in education outcomes.

The Pangal community is one of the indigenous communities in Manipur state which lies at the north eastern corner of India. The representation of Pangal women and their condition in terms of polity, society and economy through the lens of feminist perspective in Manipur is minimal and extended to the village/local level only. The paper tries to answer in an integrated way some of the pertinent questions in respect of Pangal women. In this context, an attempt has been made to explore the historical background of the origin of Pangal in Manipur. This paper has also attempted to critically examine the economic, political and social conditions of Pangal women in the light of feminist point of view from the medieval to the post-colonial periods.

AbstractThe creation of the Libyan-Tunisian border through the Jafara plain, in the wake of the French occupation of Tunisia in 1881, was to be codified in a formal treaty in 1910, just before the Italian occupation of Libya and the outbreak of the Italo-Libyan wars. However, the border, as then defined, had little to do with any prior social, political or economic reality – Muslim political theory is more concerned with communal sovereignty than with territorial control, while the Jafara plain had always been a region of local political autonomy. In reality, it represented the complex attempts by local military commanders, with the full support of the French administration in Tunis, to maximise French territorial control at the expense of the Turkish administration in Tripoli. The abandoned village of Dahibat, at the foot of the Jabal Nafusa, provided an ideal means of applying such control, particularly as the original population was anxious to return and the French were able to use their anxiety as a means of applying concepts of territorial sovereignty to the Jafara. However, in creating a rigid territorial division, the French authorities also created the grounds for resistance at a local level that eventually expressed itself first through the First World War jihad movement in the Jafara and later formed part of the Tunisian independence movement.

This study presents a scenario-based approach for identifying and comparing tsunami exposure across different sociopolitical scales. In Samoa, a country with a high threat to local tsunamis, we apply scenarios for the 2009 South Pacific tsunami inundation at different grid resolutions (50 and 10 m) to quantify building and road exposure at the national, district and village levels. We show that while the coarser 50 m model is adequate for use in the rapid identification of exposure at the national and district levels, it can overestimate exposure by up to three times more at the village level. Overestimation typically occurs in areas characterized by flat, low-lying, gentle-rising terrain. Overall, a 35% increase in buildings exposed to the 50 m model is observed compared with the 10 m scenario on southeast Upolu island. Similarly, a 31% increase in road exposure is observed for the 50 m scenario. These observations are discussed within the context of tsunami evacuation planning and logistics. Notwithstanding the variability in exposure, a precautionary approach leads us to conclude that while higher-resolution models are recommended where available data and/or financial resources permit, the absence of such datasets should not preclude the use of coarser hazard datasets in risk assessments. Finer-resolution models provide more credence in detailed local-level exposure evaluation. While the results of this study are specific to the Samoan context, the results can be applied to the multiscale assessment of tsunami risk exposure in similar hazard contexts.
