The imbalance between the land supply and the need for land, has caused many problems, sometimes the problem is very difficult to find a solution. With the redistribution of the TORA program in the Southeast Sulawesi province, it helped to slow down the problem slowly. Problems that often occur in the TORA program are generally narrow and unequal land ownership, land conflicts, legal inconsistencies, and damage to natural resources. To that end, the implementation of landreform activities in support of the TORA program in Southeast Sulawesi Province is a synergy of programs from the Central Government which is coordinated with the local Regional Government, in this case the Forestry Service, Forest Area Strengthening Agency, National Land Agency, Regional Development Planning Agency, Cipta Karya Construction and Design, Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry in the Southern Province. So that the true purpose of the Agrarian Reform is to restructure the structure of ownership, use and utilization of agrarian resources, especially land by the state as the basis of national development to realize a more equitable agrarian structure for all Indonesian people, in this case the people of Southeast Sulawesi Province.

Congress, the interested members of the general public, as well as some specialists, have had a tendency to emphasize natural resources in their approaches to the problems brought on by termination of federal supervision over the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin. Under present law, December 31, 1960 is the latest date at which federal withdrawal can occur. There has been concern over the future of the magnificent trees on the Reservation—which unfortunately has not always been matched by concern for the people who live under or around them. In the same vein, there has also been an understandable emphasis on economic and political organizational problems, such as: The types of business structure which would provide a viable economy for the Menominees and thus an adequate tax base for the post-termination Reservation community; or the form of Wisconsin local government for the area which would best fit into the overall state structure. It is our intention in this paper to outline a series of realities of a social, cultural, and psychological nature which we believe must be dealt with in assessing plans for meeting the problems of termination. Otherwise, we believe that the blueprints drawn up by the tribe's leaders and their attorneys may end up as nothing more than interesting or even dangerous exercises ultimately acceptable neither to the Menominees nor to the American conscience. The Menominees themselves lay the most stress on human factors in discussing obstacles to a successful outcome of termination.

This article analyses the implications from modern economic theory on political philosophy. As economic growth seems the main fact of economic life, so progress of science is a key factor of economic growth in the long perspective. Scientific knowledge analyzed by economic terms appears as a kind of public good. This statement was tested against Lockeian property theory, fundamental for modern liberalism. According to Lockeian arguments, private property is a consequence of human self-ownership. If humans are the owners of their bodies, the fruits of their labor are thus legimatized property for them. Nature is indispensable in production; however we could consider them as God’s Gift. According to Locke’s theory, natural resources are the common property of all humankind, unless the people choose agriculture and animal husbandry. As we consider all natural resources to be God’s Gift, we could see them as the property of the whole human race. This indicates a claim for the egalitarian distribution of social income. This reasoning is an Old Lockeian Argument for Socialism. The New Argument is based on the assumption that scientific knowledge is the key resource used in the process of production and that knowledge is a free gift for humanity from the community of scientists. Using the terminology of economics, scientific knowledge takes the form of public good. Therefore, as science is the main factor in technological progress and economic growth, their fruits should be distributed among all people in an egalitarian mode.

Constitutionalism may be gaining ascendancy in many countries in Africa. Yet thorough investigation of the extent to which current constitutions accord to the people their internationally recognised right to governance of their mineral wealth under Article 1(2) of the ICCPR has been lacking. Understanding the existing framework of rights which may support claims to land and natural resources is important. Constitutions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Zambia demonstrate the reality of multiple, overlapping land interests and the limitations upon a people's claim to freely govern their mineral wealth.

The Fergana Valley is a region rich in various natural resources, where agriculture, animal husbandry, horticulture and other industries flourished. During the years of independence, the productivity of farmers has increased due to the growing sense of ownership of their products, and on this basis, the desire to use the available land more efficiently from year to year. This was naturally due to the fact that the population had a deep understanding of the farming culture and experience. The possibility of exporting the crops grown during the reforms in Fergana region to neighboring countries also became a continuation of the reforms

الملخّصإنّ الفقر والإملاق من المشكلات الرئيسة التي يواجهها العالم اليوم، ومن أسبابها ندرة الموارد الاقتصادية الشديدة وندرة الغذاء والماء. فندرة الموارد وقلتها كانت ذات أثر مباشر في قتل الملايين من الأنفس البشريّة. وتعدّ ندرة الموارد عند الاقتصاديين الخطر الأساس الذي يهدد الوجود البشري في هذا العصر. ويعتبرها الاقتصاديّون كذلك معضلة اقتصادية ناتجة عن رغبات الإنسان غير المتناهية مقابل موارد محدودة ومتناهية. ومن الأمور التي يقترحها الاقتصاديون من اجل التغلب على هذه المشكلة أن النّاسن ينبغي عليهم أن يختاروا الموارد الضرورية والحاجية لتلبية رغباتهم. فمفهوم الندرة من منظور الاقتصاد التقليدي يعني موارد محدودة في العالم مقابل حاجات ورغبات غير محدودة. وسبب ذلك عند الاقتصاديين أن الطبيعة لا توفر موارد كافية لتلبية حاجات الناس ورغباتهم غير المتناهية. ونظرة الإسلام التي يمثلها القرآن الكريم والسنة النبوية الشريفة لمسألة الندرة نظرة مختلفة تماما عن نظرة الاقتصاد التقليدي. ويعنى هذا البحث ببيان أن الندرة ليست مشكلة الطبيعة التس سخّرها الله تعالى للإنسان،  ولكن المشكلة في أخلاقيات الناس وتصرفاتهم في الموارد الطبيعية وطريقتهم في الانتفاع بها التي أدت إلى إدخال الضرر والفساد على الموارد الموجودة.الكلمات المفتاحية: الإسلام، ندرة الموارد، الاقتصاد المعاصر، الموارد الطبيعية، الطبيعة. **************************************               AbstractAmong the main problems that the world is facing today are poverty and destitution caused by severe scarcity of economic resources and the scarcity of food and water. The lack of resources has already caused the death of millions of human beings. The scarcity of resources is counted by economists as the primary danger that threatens the human existence. Economists also consider it an economic dilemma caused by infinite human desires against limited and finite resources. In order to overcome this problem among the suggestions made by economists is that human beings should choose only necessary resources to satisfy their desires. The conventional concept of scarcity is that the resources in the world are limited vis-à-vis the unlimited human needs and desires. The reason for that according to economists is that the nature does not provide sufficient resources to meet people’s endless needs and desires. Islamic approach as represented by the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah to the issue of scarcity is essentially different from the conventional viewpoint of economists. This paper proposes and explains that the problem is not in the nature which Allah has made subservient to man, but it is in the ethics of the people and their behaviour and way of utilization of natural resources, which ultimately damage and corrupt the available resources.Keywords: Islam, Scarcity of Resources, Modern Economy, Environmental Resources, Nature.

In and around the state-owned forest of Farako in the region of Sikasso, Mali, a large-scale study focused on finding a compromise allowing the existential and legitimate needs of the population to be met and at the same time conserving the forest resources in the long term. The first step in research was to sketch out the rural socio-economic context and determine the needs for natural resources for autoconsumption and commercial use as well as the demand for non-material forest services. Simultaneously, the environmental context of the forest and the resources available were evaluated by means of inventories with regard to quality and quantity. According to an in-depth comparison between demand and potential, there is a differentiated view of the suitability of the forest to meet the needs of the people living nearby. Propositions for a multipurpose management of the forest were drawn up. This contribution deals with some basic elements of research methodology as well as with results of the study.

Article 1 of both of the major human rights covenants declares that the people of each country “shall freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources.” This chapter considers what conditions would have to hold for the people of a country to exercise this right—and why public accountability over natural resources is the only realistic solution to the “resource curse,” which makes resource-rich countries more prone to authoritarianism, civil conflict, and large-scale corruption. It also discusses why cosmopolitans, who have often been highly critical of prerogatives of state sovereignty, have good reason to endorse popular sovereignty over natural resources. Those who hope for more cosmopolitan institutions should see strengthening popular resource sovereignty as the most responsible path to achieving their own goals.
