Efficient allocation of spaces for all activities is a pivot role of planners in human settlements development. The rapid and unplanned growth of Ibadan has limited farmers’ access to land for urban agriculture purposes, especially in the urban local government areas (LGAs). This study examined urban farmers’ access to land for farming and the activities of local planning authorities in terms of land allocation for farming in Ibadan. A structured questionnaire was administered to 244 urban farmers, while key-informant interviews were conducted with the officials of local planning authorities and departments of agriculture in the urban LGAs in Ibadan. The study revealed that the scarcity of land for farming has subjected over 30% of the respondents to practice farming on family land, while 17% farmed on available open spaces, including floodplains; land along mountain ridges; land under power lines, and institutions’ lands. The barriers to expanding urban farmland identified by farmers included finance, the unavailability of land in the urban area, neglect of farming and land tenure system. The study recommended the enactment of a planning policy for the classification and integration of agricultural land use as a recognised land use component in urban physical development and zoning plans.

Cimanuk Subdistrict is known with rice brand called “beras cimanuk”, which is a quality rice-producing area in Pandeglang Regency, but land use due to regional development has affected the lives of farmers, especially the younger generation of local farmers. This study aims to see how the conversion of agricultural land has a significant impact on social change in society, especially in the survival of generations of farmers. Data collection was conducted from April to June 2016 with interview techniques involving 21 informants consisting of tenants, landowners, surrounding communities, and agricultural extension agents. Data analysis was carried out descriptively. The results of the study concluded that land use change affected the declining role of agriculture in the socio-economic life of the community. the fading of the meaning of agricultural land became a driver in the difficulty of realizing the regeneration of farmers in Cimanuk subdistrict

For most people living in rural India having access and control over land is crucial for their livelihood, more so in the case of tribals. This article analyses the nature of the customary land-tenure system in some districts of Jharkhand and Meghalaya and their impact on livelihood patterns, food security and poverty. Based on both secondary and primary data, the article seeks to examine the nature of the customary land-tenure systems in selected scheduled areas; specifically identifying the status of locals versus non-locals in managing land resources and analysing the extent to which women have been able to secure land rights under customary laws. The article concludes that though there are both positive and negative aspects to community and individual ownership of agricultural land, but on the whole the prevailing system does not helping in bettering the conditions of disadvantaged communities.

Entire Study Area

The natural environment of the Nsukka, is characterized by a combination of trees and grasses in different proportions. This readily provides conducive conditions for the combined cultivation of annual crops and perennial crops, or trees. But, some factors might have stalled the espousal and practice of agro forestry in Nsukka; this is because Nsukka until recently was generally inaccessible and lacked basic infrastructure. These have contributed negatively to result in wastage of farm products especially during harvest periods, and consequent loss of income to the farmers. The broad aim of the study was to analyze agro forestry land use practices of Nsukka farmers, assess the benefits, and draw up lessons and recommendations for sustainable agro forestry development in community-based forestry projects by describing the socioeconomic characteristics of farmers, determining the type of agro forestry practiced in the area, identifying the reasons for farmers’ participation in agro forestry practices, identifying the constraints to sustainable agro forestry in the area and the measures for tackling the constraints and determining the benefits of agro forestry to participating farmers and their communities at large. The results of the study showed that most farmers sale greater part of their produce as the only source of income and most farmers spend less because they use animal dropping as a source of fertilizer. The land tenure system of the entire study area is largely by inheritance, and land use is determined by the male head and, on whom the right of usage is vested. Similarly, the ownership, sponsorship and management of agro forestry farms are largely by the families.

Land Tenure System

In this paper, we examine the role of local land tenure, community solidarity, and recent commercialization in the 1994 rebellion in Chiapas. We find that neither the ejido land tenure system, nor community solidarity, nor community disruption and proletarianization due to recent economic change, may be considered as primary causal factors behind the revolt. We find the best explanation for the revolt to lie in the desire of certain groups, notably immigrants to the Lacondón rain forest area, for land, and in recent changes in land tenure law which have ended their hopes of acquiring land. The primary effect of economic change was indirect. It promoted population growth, which has led to increasing pressure on land.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh program Hutan Kemasyarakatan terhadap perubahan sistem tenurial, strategi nafkah, dan pendapatan petani sebagai peserta program. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada Hutan Kemasyarakatan (HKm) yang dilaksanakan di dalam kawasan Hutan Lindung Bukit Daun Register 5, khususnya Kelompok Tani Hutan Kemasyarakatan (KTHKm) Hutan Lestari, Desa Air Lanang, Bengkulu. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif (metode sensus) yang didukung oleh data kualitatif. Data kuantitatif diperoleh dengan cara melakukan wawancara menggunakan kuesioner terstruktur kepada seluruh anggota kelompok. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, pertama, program HKm mengubah sistem tenurial petani sebelumnya, terutama pada aspek status penguasaan lahan (hak), lama penguasaan lahan, dan pola bagi hasil. Kedua, program HKm mengubah strategi nafkah petani. Sebelum program HKm, sektor off farm dan non farm merupakan nafkah utama petani terutama mereka yang penguasaan lahannya terbatas/sempit di luar kawasan hutan. Namun, setelah program berjalan sektor on farm merupakan nafkah utama. Ketiga, program HKm mengubah secara signifikan pendapatan rumah tangga petani. Rata-rata pendapatan meningkat dari Rp18.390.000/rumah tangga/tahun sebelum mengikuti program, menjadi Rp31.683.000/rumah tangga/tahun setelah mengikuti program HKm.Kata kunci: Hutan Kemasyarakatan, sistem tenurial, strategi nafkah, pendapatan rumah tangga=============ABSTRACTMUHAMMAD ALDY ILHAM PRATAMA.

This study was designed to describe the economic situation of rural households that focus on agricultural land and the role of women in Pangkal Village, Sawoo District. This study uses qualitative data analysis activities carried out in the field and even in conjunction with the process of data conversion in in-depth interviews, data reduction. Conclusions are drawn if the data collected is considered sufficient and considered complete. The number of samples taken from land bag farmers consisted of women who directly worked on the land bags themselves. The results of this study illustrate the economy in Pangkal Village, Sawoo District, with the contribution of land use in Tasen which greatly helps improve the economy of the community, involving the participating government, by providing seed subsidies, fertilizer and rental freedom from the Department of Forestry, so that the community can benefit. In this case the role of women is a double workload. They are able to hoe, irrigate plants, weed grass, provide fertilizer, care for plants, harvest crops and sell them. For them "work as a choice" for the fulfillment of family life needs.
