Common Lands

Many ethnobotanical studies have shown differences in the knowledge and practices held by men and women. Using ethnographic fieldwork, a survey, and secondary data from three different areas in Spain, this study shows a geographical pattern in women’s and men’s relations with wild edible plants. In the case studies from Southern Spain, Doñana, and Sierra Morena Extremeña, women gather less wild edible plants than men, while in the Central Spain case study, Sierra Norte de Madrid, the difference is less marked. We explain this difference through the construction and distribution of agrarian spaces, particularly with regards to land tenure type and urban centers size. In the southern cases, large agrarian properties are more prevalent than in Sierra Norte de Madrid, where common lands and small and medium properties predominate. Additionally, in Doñana, big urban agro-towns dominate, whereas in Sierra Norte de Madrid and Sierra Morena Extremeña little towns are the norm. Overall, our study suggests that gendered differences in the use of natural resources are better understood if contextualized in a large socioecological context.

The Continuum

Our purpose is to present and test a typology of land reform theories as a means of understanding and interrogating the motives behind land reform and to better equip land administrators and policymakers to enact land reform programs that are appropriate for their contexts. Here, land reform is understood to include the related concepts of land redistribution, land restitution, land tenure reform and land administration reform. The theory typology thus has application for land restitution programs specifically operating in the global South. The continuum of theories is derived from literature and tested through a multiple case study of land reform in Nigeria, Mozambique, and South Africa, drawing from a combination of primary and secondary data. The findings suggest an over-reliance on replacement theories in all three contexts, although the Mozambican experience draws on theories towards the middle of the continuum (the adaptation theories). This is recommended as the most viable approach for the context.

Purpose – Urban mobility is one of the most relevant themes in discussions regarding quality of life in large urban centers worldwide. It is a challenge that local governments have been facing due to a significant growth in the urban population. The purpose of this study is to analyze the changes in public transport made by the local government in the city of Bogotá, ColombiaDesign/methodology/approach – It is an in-depth case study of a qualitative nature, based upon primary (interviews and observation) and secondary data. Data was collected in Brazil and Colômbia.Findings – The case signaled a significant change process by improving urban mobility through the implementation of successful public policies and strategies. The findings indicated that transforming a chaotic public transport system into a point of reference in this field is a notable effort.Practical implications – This study provides insights to public administrators that manage organizations that operate complex systems and pluralistic contextsOriginality/value – This paper contributes to the field by discussing a unique case study in which the administration of a large capital of a South American country promoted a substantial change in the urban mobility system, tackling obstacles and developing an efficient approach.

Abstrak. Pembangunan pertanian pada masa mendatang akan dihadapkan pada berbagai permasalahan yang semakin rumit maka diperlukan pengkajian teknologi pertanian yang harus diarahkan untuk mengatasi berbagai permasalahan. Inovasi asap cair di gampong Naga Umbang dianggap dapat menjawab masalah yang melanda kebiasaan masyarakat dalam menggunakan pestisida kimia namun akibat adanya perbedaan antara sikap terhadap inovasi dengan keputusan yang telah dibuat maka terjadilah dissonansi (ketidakselarasan) inovasi. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui dan menjelaskan karakteristik unit pengambilan keputusan (faktor internal dan faktor eksternal) serta karakteristik inovasi dapat mempengaruhi keputusan masyarakat dalam menunda penerapan teknologi asap cair di Gampong Naga Umbang Kecamatan Lhoknga. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi kasus pendekatan kualitatif, sedangkan pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara mendalam, observasi, dokumentasi serta data sekunder. Metode analisis menggunakan model interaktif dan triangulasi sebagai uji keabsahan data. Hasil penelitian adalah masyarakat Naga Umbang tidak siap dengan kehadiran inovasi asap cair. Adanya dua aspek yang ditelaah yaitu karakteristik unit pengambilan keputusan dan persepsi  karakteristik inovasi. Pada kedua aspek menunjukkan kehadiran asap cair di Naga Umbang  mengalami beberapa kendala diantaranya terbatasnya waktu warga untuk mengelola asap cair disebabkan adanya kesibukan sehari-hari. Masyarakat atau petani sebagai sasaran utama dalam proses adopsi inovasi mengalami kesulitan dalam pemikiran maupun praktik kesehariannya. Dari segi penerapan,  sulitnya mengubah tradisi masyarakat yang selama ini terbiasa menggunakan pestisida kimia yang dapat membahayakan kesehatan jika hasil panen dikonsumsi secara terus menerus. Namun, kedua responden mengatakan hal sebaliknya yaitu kalau saja mereka mendapatkan penyuluhan secara bertahap mengenai asap cair, maka adanya kemungkinan inovasi dapat dijalankan.Factors That Influence The Decision of The Society In Innovation Adoption of Liquid Smoke In Aceh Besar DistrictAbstract. Agricultural development in the future will be faced with an increasingly complicated issues required the study of agricultural technology, which should be directed to address various problems. Innovation of liquid smoke in gampong Naga Umbang considered can answer problems that plagued the habits of the community in the use of chemical pesticides, however due to the difference between the attitude towards innovation with the decision that has been made so there was dissonantion (depth) innovation. Research purposes to know and explain the characteristics of decision (internal and external factors) as well as characteristics innovation can affect a community decision in delaying application of the technology of liquid smoke in Gampong Naga Umbang Lhoknga Subdistrict. The method used a case study of qualitative approach, whereas the collection of data is carried out by means of in-depth interviews, observation, documentation and secondary data. Methods of analysis using interactive model and triangulated test as the validity of the data. The research community is not ready with the Naga Umbang presence innovation liquid smoke. Two aspects are examined, namely the characteristics of the decision-making unit and perception characteristics of innovation. On both aspects indicating the presence of liquid smoke in Naga Umbang encounter some obstacles including limited time citizens to manage liquid smoke due to the busyness of everyday. Communities or farmers as the main target in the process of adoption of innovation have difficulty in thinking as well as in daily practice. In terms of implementation, the difficulty of changing the tradition of the community that has been accustomed to using chemical pesticides that can harm health if the crops are consumed continuously. However, both respondents said the opposite if only they get counseling on gradually liquid smoke, hence the possibility of innovation can be run.

Unique Character

Jayapura City is the capital of Papua Province, located at the eastern end of Indonesia and has a direct borders with neighboring countries, Papua New Guinea (PNG). The geographical conditions of Jayapura City are very diverse leads to the formation of separate urban centers. Currently there are two parts of urban centers in Jayapura City, known as Jayapura and Abepura. This situation gave rise to a unique character in the overall system of Jayapura City, so it is necessary to examine how the two urban centers interact in Jayapura City. This study aims to assess the functional linkages that occur between Jayapura and Abepura using the case study method. Data collected through direct observation, secondary data collection and structured interviews using a questionnaire. The results showed that the functional linkages that occurred between Jayapura and Abepura are complementary functions of their natural advantages, and functions that are homogeneous but did not compete in the provision of economic and public service. In this case, the functions homogeneous appearing not cause competition, resulting in a reduction of competition.
