Commuting helps to keep balance between residence and workplace of workers. With growing accessibility and connectivity, the importance of commuting is increasing all over the world. It is becoming a major substitute to migration. In commute-studies, commute-pattern is an important chapter. It highlights commuters’ directions of movement, distance they cover, modes of transport they use, the time they take to commute, etc. Unlike the urban-based commute pattern, commute pattern in rural areas are relatively an under-researched issue. In fact, traditionally rural people are thought to carry a sedentary lifestyle. Using primary data, this study aims to explore the commute patterns of rural workers located in the village of Gandharbapur of Barddhaman district of West Bengal, India. All the commuters were found to be engaged in non-farm work. Commuters stem from two major groups. One group of commuters is accumulated farm-income induced. They possess sufficient agricultural land. Investing their surplus farm-income, they have established non-farm works. The second group of commuters is poverty-driven. They are landless poor or are marginal farmers and to escape poverty, they have slipped into these works. Located beyond the suburban area (Memari being the nearest town), most commuters commute to nearby rural areas. Due to non-availability of public transport, women commute less than men do. Regular-paid government employees commute longer than other workers commute. The article concludes with a summary of findings and recommendations for further research.

Migration has no doubt been a crucial factor in contribution to national economic growth and development in rural areas. However, it impacts on agriculture and agricultural land keeps debate. Unlike the prediction of land abandon and de-agrarianization, evidence from a Vietnamese village shows that majority of rural households keep their paddy field and continue their agricultural production rather than converted it into other purposes. While none households in the village absolutely leave their farming land fallowed, there were some households partially abandon their land.  Possessing to land is more for investment than agricultural production. Agricultural land and farm work are always a stable resource, a guarantee of subsistence or a safety net for rural people which would boosting their own autonomy.

Research Findings

Since the 2000s, agricultural land acquisition (ALA) for urbanization and industrialization has been quickly implemented in Vietnam, which has led to a huge socioeconomic transformation in rural areas. This paper applies the sustainable livelihoods framework to analyze how ALA has impacted the socioeconomic status (SES) of rural women whose agricultural land was acquired. To get primary data, we surveyed 150 affected households, conducted three group discussions and interviewed nine key informants. The research findings reveal that ALA, when applied toward urbanization, has significantly improved the occupational status of rural women by creating non-farm job opportunities that have improved their income, socioeconomic knowledge and working skills. While their SES has been noticeably enhanced, these positive impacts are still limited in cases where ALA is applied toward industrial and energy development, since these purposes do not create many new jobs. Moreover, the unclear responsibility of stakeholders and inadequate livelihood rehabilitation programs of ALA projects have obstructed the opportunities of rural women. To improve the SES of rural women, we recommend that ALA policy initiate a flexible livelihoods support plan based on the purpose of ALA and the concrete responsibilities of stakeholders and investors.

Many farmers worldwide resort to choosing various income-earning options for diversifying their income sources as a means of risk-avoidance, social protection, and, above all, to finance agricultural operations. Non-farm income generation among farm families has become an imperative part of livelihood earning strategies in recent years amid fast-evolving climatic and sociodemographic changes. In this regard, this study seeks to identify the patterns and socioeconomic factors responsible for the uptake of various non-farm income diversification sources among agricultural households in southern Punjab, Pakistan. For this purpose, a total of 290 farm households were sampled using a random sampling technique to collect relevant data through structured questionnaires. Results show that approximately 79% of the surveyed farmers were involved in non-farm income generation activities, whereas, the income from these sources accounts for about 15% of total household income. The majority of the respondents offered labour for off-farm work followed by self-employment ventures. The major reason to pursue non-farm work includes low income from agriculture, mitigating risks associated with farming, and acquiring funds to finance farming operations, along with the desire to increase family income. A range of socioeconomic and infrastructure-related variables are associated with the decision to participate in specific off-farm activity, such as age, education, family size, farm income, dependency burden, farming experience, and distance to the main city. Results imply the provision of technical support to increase livelihood from farming operations to ensure food security and curb rural-urban migration. However, vocational training can enhance the rural inhabitants’ skillset to diversify on the farm through agribusiness development within rural areas, enabling them to employ local people instead of populating urban centres.

The purpose of the Student Study Service Programs are 1) Synergizing socio-cultural local wisdom with community economic characteristics for preventing degradation of agricultural land through the KKN program. 2) Formulate strategies to increase the potential of villages towards developed and independent villages. The method of collection is done in two kinds, namely primary data by means of surveys, questionnaires and interviews with the village secretary, village apparatus, community leaders, farmer groups and residents around of Panggung Duwet Village’s related to the KKN program, and secondary data in the form of well-documented data such as Blitar Regency in the Numbers, Kademangan District in the Numbers as well as the Report on the Implementation of the Village Administration and/or the Report on the Accountability of the Panggung Duwet Village’s in 2018. The data analysis method was conducted using the social intervention and SWOT analysis approaches. The results of the implementation of the Student Study Service Programs in Panggungduwet Village, Kademangan District are implemented into a work program that is greening, processing waste into organic fertilizer and crafts, processing food commodities such as corn silk syrup, cassava donuts and cassava chips. Analysis of the village situation shown still has weaknesses, namely lack of water supply, especially in the dry season, especially agriculture in line with the opportunities that exist, namely seeking organic fertilizer by utilizing waste and wood sawdust crafts for sale so that the potential is expected to be a catalyst for village development to become advanced and independent. The existence of the Student Study Service Programs can leave a good impression so that the community is willing to begin to change the bad behavior of agricultural land management that ignores the rules of conservation and increased knowledge and skills of processed waste and food processed in order to improve the economic welfare of the community.

Occupational structure refers to the division of workers into different types of economic activities. It is the activities by which people secure their livelihood and it also provides background knowledge for formulating development plans for any region. The paper presents the occupational structure of rural workers in the Mathura district. Mathura district is situated in the western part of Uttar Pradesh and has a high religious and economic importance. The whole study is mainly based on primary data collected through a structured interview schedule designed for the purpose. Field surveys were conducted during 2015-16 and 5270 respondents (2929 males and 2341 females) of 755 households were questioned to generate primary data. In the surveyed villages, the share of cultivation and agricultural labourers was 44.41 % and 16.32 % respectively. A large share of workers was engaged in primacy activities (66.73%). The analysis shows that there is a negative relationship between workers and literacy rate. It happens because as people get employment in cities they leave the village and only unemployed literates stay there. The results were derived with the help of statistical techniques and SPSS software whereas maps were prepared with the help of GIS Arc View software.

Bio-slurry is the residual product of biogas processing waste through the decomposition process without oxygen (anaerobic). Bio-slurry can be used as organic fertilizer for agricultural land. This study aims to: 1) assess the value of willingness to pay (WTP) for bio-slurry fertilizer, 2) find factors affecting farmer’s willingness to pay (WTP) of bio-slurry fertilizer. The research was carried out from January to February 2020 in Central Java. Determination of the location is purposive based on the farmers in Magelang and Demak Regency that have utilized biogas waste to be organic fertilizer and had been commercialized. Primary data were obtained from 80 farmers using purposive sampling, with the aid of questionnaire. Data analysis using contingent value method (CVM) to evaluate the farmer’s willingness to pay and logistic regression to analyze its determinant factors. The result showed that farmer’s willingness to pay (WTP) rate of bio-slurry fertilizer was IDR. 937,5/kg, which was above the market price. The determinant factors are farm income, education, price, and experience using organic fertilizer positively related to farmers’ willingness to pay bio-slurry fertilizer whereas land area negatively related to farmers’ willingness to pay bio-slurry fertilizer. The value of willingness to pay show the opportunity for bio-slurry fertilizer to survive in market by taking into account continuity of production and quality.

As young people move to cities, the demographic structure of the village changes, and traditional village institutions tend to weaken or even collapse. Another factor is that agricultural income is being replaced by remittances. The consequences of this development for the well-being of rural households are ambiguous. On the one hand, the increase in the share of non-farm income has reduced the dependence of the poor on land for income growth in rural areas. Rural-urban transformation and rural economy in emerging market economies during the economic downturn: empirical data for the Russian Federation, obtained on June 24, 2017; decisions made in 2018 to allocate funds for the development of rural households in the Russian Federation are increasingly dependent on non-farm income and cash subsidies, while dependence on land is decreasing. The purpose of this study is to promote a better understanding of the role of villages in emerging market economies such as the Russian Federation, using a typical Russian village as an example. The results show that, depending on macroeconomic conditions, both agriculture-oriented and migrationoriented livelihood strategies can be useful. During periods of economic growth, migration contributes to the growth of the population's income, but for the full development of this process, a developed system of information support is necessary. Such a system will allow not only to organize information about various production processes in rural areas, but also to increase the efficiency of distribution of production and labor resources. Despite long periods of absence, migrants maintain strong links with their home village to better cope with economic downturns. This information helps to optimize production solutions in rural areas and improve the development of the village.

The agrarian disputes often occur in rural areas, considering that the majority of the livelihoods of rural communities are farmers. In this regard, rural communities also cannot be avoided from agrarian conflicts that occur between residents, including in terms of inheritance. This social legal research aims to analyze the factors causing the occurrence of agrarian conflicts in rural areas; and explain the role of the village head in dealing with disputes related to land. This empirical legal research uses a qualitative approach that is based on primary data and secondary data as obtained through a series of observations, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that rural communities tend to choose the head of village as the party that resolves agrarian disputes in rural areas. Therefore, the rural community perspective believes and considers the head of village to be able to provide a sense of community justice. The scheme used by the head of village is mediation or what is often called 'deliberation for consensus'. KEYWORDS: Land, Customary Law, Head of Village, Amadanom, Malang.
