Anabar district of Sakha Republic (Yakutia) is a complex ethnocultural region, where toponyms of different eras coexist, which is explained by the dynamics of the ethnic composition of the population over thousands of years. Toponymy extent reflects the historical and geographical specifics of the region. On the map of the Anabar district, several toponymic layers are distinguished: Dolgan, evenki, Yakut and Russian. The study was funded by the Russian foundation of Basic Research (No. 20-09-00257), one of the tasks of which is to identify toponymic complexes—groups of place names that characterize the development of the studied territory, as well as to consider toponyms as objects of cultural heritage of the peoples inhabiting this region. In this study, using GIS technologies, the reconstruction of the settlement of local ethnic groups that lived in the territory of the Anabar district was carried out. Their borders were largely natural in nature and generally corresponded to river basins. It is established that the boundaries of the distribution areas of the genera went beyond the boundaries of the modern territory of the Anabar district. The main source of the material is a database of toponyms identified from 20 topographic maps (scale 1:200,000), covering the whole territory of the Anabar district. The article presents the results of mapping the areas of settlement of tribes and ethnotoponyms. first of all, these are ethnotoponyms formed from ethnonyms (khangalas, khatygyn, gala, aryyaat, barakh, sedeme, etc.). It is established that place name used to as a name for a group of farms of mixed origin (kuladintsy, omoldot). Comparison of the reconstructed area of settlement of tribes with the display of ethnonyms on the Anabar district’s map showed their insufficient presence in toponyms. This indicates a lack of preservation of ethnonyms.

This study aims to analyse the implementation of new rice field plan  policies in Indonesia and their impacts on population and ethnic composition in new rice field locations. This research is conducted by applying a literature review method. It is shown that the implementation of the policies had two major implications. Firstly, it creates assimilation opportunities through collaboration between ethnic migrants and local ethnic groups to work on or cultivate new rice fields. Secondly, the great flows of transmigrants that move to the new rice field locations trigger ethnic polarization, which is prone to cause inter-ethnic conflict. In the future, potential problems associated with the provision of new rice fields are available are the risk of having aging population. The aging population indicates a decrease in productive labor that may also affect on decreasing attractiveness of the rice fields to the younger generation. This situation can lead to the re-involvement of older generation in managing the new rice fields. However, it can raise a new concern on their ability to improve the rice fields’ productivity or, even worse, the new rice fields might be neglected or be sold.

In antiquity present-day Andalusia was occupied by several different peoples, among whom the main cultural role was taken by the Tartessians, subsequently the Turdetani. The first part of this chapter aims to define the limits and variety of the different ethnic groups. Thereafter, the material available to study the languages of the region is analysed: inscriptions, place names, and personal names. This material is limited and poses numerous problems, but it enables us to define linguistic zones, to emphasize the plurilingual nature of the area, to detect the probable role of Phoenician as a lingua franca, and to draw attention to certain features of Turdetanian, the most widely spoken of the vernacular languages of the region.

Place Naming

Cartography, place-naming and state-sponsored explorations were central to the modern European conquest of the earth, empire building and settler-colonisation projects. Scholars often assume that place names provide clues to the historical and cultural heritage of places and regions. This article uses social memory theory to analyse the cultural politics of place-naming in Israel. Drawing on Maurice Halbwachs’ study of the construction of social memory by the Latin Crusaders and Christian medieval pilgrims, the article shows Zionists’ toponymic strategies in Palestine, their superimposition of Biblical and Talmudic toponyms was designed to erase the indigenous Palestinian and Arabo-Islamic heritage of the land. In the pre-Nakba period Zionist toponymic schemes utilised nineteenth century Western explorations of Biblical ‘names’ and ‘places’ and appropriated Palestinian toponyms. Following the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948, the Israeli state, now in control of 78 percent of the land, accelerated its toponymic project and pursued methods whose main features were memoricide and erasure. Continuing into the post-1967 occupation, these colonial methods threaten the destruction of the diverse historical cultural heritage of the land.

Religious participation has reinforced the color line in American society for generations. Despite rising racial and ethnic diversity across U.S. communities, most Americans continue to belong to congregations composed primarily of others from their own racial/ethnic groups. Yet recent scholarship suggests that the presence of multiple racial or ethnic groups in the same congregation is increasing. The authors examine how the racial/ethnic composition of U.S. congregations is related to white attenders’ friendship networks and comfort with other racial/ethnic groups (i.e., blacks, Hispanics, and Asians). Using national survey data, the authors find that whites in multiracial congregations report more diverse friendship networks and higher levels of comfort with nonwhites than do whites in nonmultiracial congregations. However, the influence of worshipping with another race/ethnicity seems to be most pronounced for whites in congregations with Hispanics. Moreover, neighbors and friends of other races have more impact on whites’ friendship networks and attitudes than do congregations. The authors discuss implications of these findings for understanding U.S. intergroup relations and the potential of congregations to address the color line.

In 1970 the City University of New York (CUNY) adopted a policy which guaranteed admission to every graduate of the city's high schools. Designed to increase the proportion of minority students in the university and to slow the reproduction of social inequality,CUNY's open-admissions policy has been criticized as a threat to academic standards and as an unnecessary expense during periods of economic scarcity. In this article, David Lavin,Richard Alba, and Richard Silberstein argue instead that there has been no definitive evidence of a decline in standards and that the policy has been successful in reducing educational inequality. Basing their conclusions on a detailed study of the first three classes admitted under this policy, the authors examine its effects on the university's ethnic composition and integration at various levels, and on the academic performance of different ethnic groups.

Heritage Protection

The cultural heritage resources along Weihe river system in Xi’an Metropolitan Area are diverse, with the feature of linear distribution. Nevertheless the existing heritage sites in protection are separated and unrelated, in addition the surrounding environment has been destroyed to a large extent, and thus the requirement for regional protection of heritage is urgent. On the basis of theory and methodology of Heritage Corridor, initial surveys of local heritage have been done, the basic data and information has been combed, heritage constitution as well as features of spatial and diachronic distribution has been discussed, heritage value has been analyzed, and then the concept and thought of the construction of Weihe Water System Heritage Corridor in Xi’an Metropolitan Area is proposed, to provide basic research framework for regional heritage protection.
