The study aims to explore the prospects and retrospects of land use system through agroforestry practices in Meherpur district, Bangladesh. It particularly focuses on some aspects of land uses of the study area like land use pattern, land ownership, choices of species for agroforestry, farmers’ perceptions towards agroforestry, status and prospects of agroforestry practices. This study was carried out by using mixed method followed by a semi-structure questionnaire. A total of 100 respondents were selected by using snowball purposive sampling method. The study revealed that agriculture was the major occupation (50%) of the selected respondents. Of the total land used by selected respondents, 21% land were used for agroforestry, 69% for agriculture and remaining 10% for homestead purposes. Most of the farmers (60%) were small landholders (1 to 5 acres) and 18% had lesser than 1 acre land. Among them 76% had their own land followed by 8% leased land and 16% both own and leased land. They preferred agroforestry in their homestead (92%), agricultural land (65%), water body (31%) and fallow land (18%). The farmers were practicing different types of agroforestry such as cropland, homestead and aquaculture with boundary plantation by mixing trees, agricultural crops and vegetables in their farmlands to receive diversified outcomes. A remarkable change in land use pattern was found after adopting agroforestry practices in this study area. Maximum respondents practiced agro-forestry in their homestead and croplands. Most of the land (67%) was used for agriculture cultivation while a very small amount of land was used as agroforestry in the study area.Int. J. Agril. Res. Innov. & Tech. 7 (2): 1-6, December, 2017

Bangladesh is a land scarce country where per capita cultivated land is only 12.5 decimals. It is claimed that every year about one percent of farm land in the country is being converted to non-agricultural uses. The study is based mainly on field survey covering 2 villages (Narikel Baria and Baze Silinda) from 10 sub-urban villages around Rajshahi City Corporation under Paba Upazila of Rajshahi district. The study area was selected purposively and the respondents of this research work were selected randomly. The major focus was on to mention the general land use pattern of the area, estimates the agricultural land conversion besides determining the causes and consequences affecting such conversion. Both Narikel Baria and Baze Silinda villages were selected as study area because of its relatively higher growth in infrastructure. In order to fulfill the goal of this study, primary and secondary data were collected from various sources and to analyze and process of collected data the SPSS, Excel and Arc GIS software were used. Different types of descriptive statistics were applied for representing the analyzed data. It is observed that the land conversion form agriculture to non-agriculture allied in recent time is more than the previous time due to gradually increasing land demand in housing and relevant services which invites adverse impact on agricultural land as well as its dependent population. So, it is necessary to take integrated land-use planning to offer better options for the fulfillment of land demand both of housing and agricultural sectors.

[ID] Daerah Rawa Pinang Dalam merupakan bagian dari daerah rawa di kawasan Pinang Komplek yang berada di Kabupaten Kubu Raya Provinsi Kalimantan Barat. Tinggi muka air tanah Daerah Rawa Pinang Dalam dipengaruhi oleh pasang surut air laut. Daerah Pinang Dalam diusahakan oleh penduduk sebagai lahan pertanian. Namun hasil produksi pada daerah ini belum optimal yang disebabkan oleh belum baiknya jaringan tata air, dimana sebagian besar daerah tersebut merupakan daerah genangan, sering mengalami banjir pada musim penghujan serta mengalami kekeringan pada musim kemarau. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jenis dan pengaruh hidrotopografi lahan terhadap saluran tersier, sehingga dapat diperoleh dimensi saluran tersier sesuai dengan peruntukan lahan di daerah rawa Pinang Dalam. Data primer pada penelitian ini yaitu data hidrometri dan data pasang surut, sementara data sekunder yang digunakan yaitu data hidrologi dan data topografi serta peta-peta yang diperlukan dalam analisis hidrotopografi. Data tersebut merupakan dasar dalam melakukan kajian dan analisis hidrometri dan topografi yang diperlukan untuk mengetahui hidrotopografi lahan dengan memperhatikan peruntukan lahan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jenis hidrotopografi lahan di daerah rawa Pinang Dalam terdiri dari jenis hidrotopografi B, C dan D. Berdasarkan jenis hidotopografi dan peruntukan lahan, terdapat kriteria tertentu mengenai kedalaman optimum untuk saluran tersier dalam sebuah jaringan tata air. Saluran tersier yang diperuntukkan sebagai lahan perkebunan sebaiknya diupayakan untuk memiliki kedalaman yang dapat mempertahankan muka air tanah dalam kisaran 60 hingga 90 centimeter, sementara elevasi muka air untuk tanaman padi sawah dipertahankan setinggi mungkin dengan kedalaman perakaran minus (-)10 sampai dengan -30 centimeter. [EN] The Pinang Dalam swamp area is a part of Pinang Komplek swamp area which is located in Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan Province. Groundwater table in Pinang Dalam swamp area is affected by tides. Pinang Dalam area is cultivated by the population as agricultural land. But the production results in this area are not optimal due to the lack of a good water system, where most of the area is inundated, often experiences floods during the rainy season and experiences drought in the dry season. This research aims to identify the type and effects of land hydrotopography on the tertiary channel, thus the dimension of tertiary channel that is suitable for the allocated land use is obtained. The primary data in this study are hydrometric and tidal data, while secondary data used are hydrological and topographic data and maps needed in hydrotopographic analysis. These data are the basis for conducting studies and analysis of hydrometry and topography needed to the hydrotopography of land while taking the land use into account. The results showed that the hydrotopographic type of land in the Pinang Dalam swamp area consisted of hydrotopographic types B, C and D. Based on the hydotopography type and land use, there are certain criteria regarding the optimum depth for tertiary channels in a water system. Tertiary canals on land allocated as plantation area should be striven to have a depth that can maintain water table in the range of 60 to 90 centimeters, while the water level elevation for lowland rice plants should be maintained as high as possible with a rooting depth of minus (-) 10 to -30 centimeters.

The study was undertaken to analyze the growth in different parameters of land use pattern and factors responsible for fallow land across various agro-climatic zones of Madhya Pradesh. The secondary data were collected for the last 14 years (2000-01 to 2013-14) for the 11 agro-climatic zones which covered all the 51 districts of Madhya Pradesh. It was found that net area sown, gross cropped area and cropping intensity showed increasing and highly significant trend whereas declining and highly significant trend was observed in area under uncultivated land, cultivable wasteland, current fallow of most of the agro-climatic zones as well as state. It was also found that rainfall, gross irrigated area, and cropping intensity were the factors which significantly reduced the area under fallow lands in some of the agro-climatic zones of Madhya Pradesh. Hence, it is important to bring the cultivable waste land and fallow land under cultivation to boost agricultural production.
