Thesis (LLM (Public Law))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / Bibliography / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: All agricultural subdivisions in the Republic of South Africa are regulated by the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act 70 of 1970. The declared purpose of the Act is to prevent the creation of uneconomic farming units and this purpose is achieved through the requirement that the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (“Minister of Agriculture”) must consent to the proposed subdivision. The Act was promulgated in the 1970s when the South African landscape was racially divided. The government of the time used law to provide benefits for the white minority. At this time the rights of non-whites were restricted. This is the social and political background of the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act. The Act formed part of a legislative scheme that provided benefits for white farmers. More than a decade after democratisation and the end of apartheid the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act is still in operation. The post-apartheid legislature drafted and enacted the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act Repeal Act 64 of 1998, but it has not yet been brought into operation. During 2003 the legislature tabled the Draft Sustainable Utilisation of Agricultural Resources Bill which contains subdivision provisions that are identical to the provisions contained in the Subdivision Act. These legislative actions have created some uncertainty about the state of agricultural subdivisions. In 2008 the Constitutional Court decided that the Act continues to apply to all agricultural subdivisions and that this would be the position until the legislature chooses a definitive course of action. This constitutional analysis of the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act examines the effect of the Act beyond the pre-constitutional legislative intention and framework under which it was enacted. If the Act cannot be saved from its apartheid context, the Repeal Act should become operational. This thesis concludes that the necessary and legitimate purpose of the Act, namely the regulation of subdivision of agricultural land, can be removed from its pre-constitutional setting in the apartheid era and may continue to justify the legitimate regulation of subdivision of land. Comparative sources, namely the United States of America, specifically the states of Oregon and Hawaii, Western Australia and the province of British Columbia, Canada indicate that the regulation of agricultural subdivisions is a valid means of protecting agricultural land. If the Act can continue to exist without its legacy of apartheid and still serves a legitimate and necessary purpose it will have to be constitutionally compliant. The purpose of the Act and the means used to realise it were tested against the Bill of Rights. The effect that the regulation has particularly on ownership entitlements was examined against section 25(1) of the 1996 Constitution. Similarly, the consequences of the regulation with regard to other rights in the Bill of Rights were investigated. The conclusion was that where the Subdivision of Agricultural Land Act is used for its purpose of preventing the uneconomic subdivision of agricultural land, in the national interest, it is a legitimate land-use regulation that can continue to justifiably operate in a constitutional dispensation. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Alle onderverdelings van landbougrond in die Republiek van Suid-Afrika word gereguleer deur die Wet op die Onderverdeling van Landbougrond 70 van 1970. Die verklaarde doel van die Wet is om die totstandkoming van onekonomiese landboueenhede te voorkom, en hierdie doel word bereik deurdat die Minister van Landbou, Bosbou en Visserye (“Minister van Landbou”) toestemming moet verleen vir die voorgestelde onderverdeling van landbougrond. Die Wet is in die 1970s gepromulgeer toe grond in Suid-Afrika in terme van ras verdeel was. Die destydse apartheidsregering het die regstelsel gebruik om voordele vir die blanke minderheidsgroep te bewerkstellig, terwyl die regte van nie-blankes ingeperk was. Dit is die sosiale en politieke agtergrond waarteen die Wet op die Onderverdeling van Landbougrond tot stand gekom het. Die Wet was deel van ‘n wetgewende raamwerk waarbinne voordele vir blanke boere geskep is. Meer as ‘n dekade na apartheid en die totstandkoming van ‘n demokratiese Suid-Afrika is die Wet op die Onderverdeling van Landbougrond steeds in werking. Die post-apartheid wetgewer het die Wet op die Herroepping van die Wet op die Onderverdeling van Landbougrond 64 van 1998 gepromulgeer, maar nog nie in werking gestel nie. Gedurende 2003 het die wetgewer die “Draft Sustainable Utilisation of Agricultural Resources Bill”, wat onderafdelings soortgelyk aan die bepalings in die Wet op die Onderverdeling van Landbougrond bevat, gepromulgeer. Bogenoemde stappe het onsekerheid geskep ten opsigte van die stand van onderverdeling van landbougrond. In 2008 het die Konstitusionele Hof beslis dat die Wet op die Onderverdeling van Landbougrond sal voortgaan om die onderverdeling van landbougrond te reguleer totdat die wetgewer uitsluitsel oor die aangeleentheid verskaf. Die doel van die tesis is om die uitwerking van die Wet op die Onderverdeling van Landbougrond te analiseer as deel van die huidige grondwetlike bedeling, aangesien dit geskep is tydens die apartheidsera. Indien die Wet nie van sy apartheidskonteks geskei of gered kan word nie sal die Herroepping Wet in werking gestel moet word. Die tesis kom tot die gevolgtrekking dat die doel van die Wet, naamlik die regulering van die onderverdeling van landbougrond, van die voor-konstitusionele agtergrond in die apartheidsera geskei kan word en dat dit kan voortgaan om die wettige regulering van onderverdeling van landbougrond te regverdig. Regsvergelykende bronne, naamlik die Verenigde State van Amerika, veral die state van Oregon en Hawaii, Wes Australië en Brits-Columbië, ‘n provinsie van Kanada, dui aan dat die regulasie van die onderverdeling van landbougrond ‘n regsgeldige metode is om landbougrond te beskerm. Die doel van die Wet en die metodes wat gebruik word om hierdie doel te laat realiseer is getoets teen die Handves van Menseregte. Die uitwerking van die regulasie op die inhoudsbevoegdhede van die eienaar is spesifiek geëvalueer teen artikel 25(1) van die 1996 Grondwet, maar die gevolge van die regulasie is ook getoets teen ander regte in die Handves van Menseregte. Die gevolgtrekking was dat waar die Wet op die Onderverdeling van Landbougrond gebruik word met die doel om onekonomiese onderverdeling van landbougrond te verhoed in die nasionale belang, dit ‘n legitieme regulasie van grondgebruik is waarvan die gebruik steeds regverdigbaar is in ‘n grondwetlike bedeling.

早期農業係臺灣社會經濟發展之基石，各相關農業政策皆以糧食增產為主要目標，後因後期臺灣經濟由農業為主漸漸轉向以工業為主，故在時代變遷下，過去多數文獻指出第一次農地改革強調以「所有權」為中心，成功達到農業生產增加目的，以及Arthur Young之名言「荒漠變花園」，認為「所有權」是激勵農民生產之誘因，在現今都市化擴張及工商業發展的社會背景下，是否仍為當前農地政策之主要思維？實有重新探討之必要。爰此，本研究為探討臺灣農地利用是否仍需存有「所有權」之迷思，嘗試釐清在時代變遷下，農民是否須擁有農地所有權才能激勵農民從事農地利用？或只要能保障農民之投入成本能於未來收益相符，即便是透過使用權方式承租農地亦能激勵農民從事利用？並期能透過財產權觀點分析現行農地利用政策，提供未來農地政策研擬修訂之重要參考依據。 基此，本研究首先整理過去相關文獻及政府統計資料，在此基礎上釐清過去涉及地權政策之農地改革變遷過程，以及臺灣農地利用現況問題，藉以建立後續分析架構。其次，針對宜蘭縣三星鄉農民進行問卷調查，以釐清農民在從事農作過程中，擁有農地所有權對農民之影響情形，並瞭解農民透過購買或承租方式擴大農場經營規模之考量為何。最後，為深入分析及探究問卷調查結果之背後影響因素，本研究再針對中央及地方政府機關行政人員進行訪談，據以進行綜合分析。透過此研究脈絡之探討，本研究獲得之重要發現與結論，茲分述如下。 一、本研究透過實證分析得知，農民擁有農地所有權雖會對農地利用有正面影響，但不必然會直接激勵農民從事農作，仍需視當時的社會制度下，何種行為能夠激勵農民達到行為目標（增加所得），即具有激勵效果。而農民擁有農地使用權，亦能提高從事農地利用意願、激勵努力從事農業生產及維護農地環境，惟因使用權具有期限，故相較於農民擁有農地所有權，在提高農地改良投資及對長期從事農作有幫助兩方面，較無法激勵農民。因此，本研究結論指出過去以所有權為中心之農地政策，因社會變遷結果，不必然須再以所有權為中心，亦能具有激勵農民從事農作生產之效果。 二、依據本研究分析及推論，第一次農地改革之成功，應不能僅歸於創設所有權，而是因為透過政策實施重新界定財產權範圍，並建置財產權之權利及義務關係，故使農民投入之成本與未來收益能相符，願意投入更多的勞力從事農作，進而激勵農民願意努力從事農業生產，而建立第一次農地改革成功基礎。以此觀點亦能說明，第二次農地改革後，即便農民擁有農地所有權，惟因從事農作收益不佳，農民投入之成本於未來並無法充分回收時，則會變相導致農民任其休耕、閒置、消極利用，或是觀望日後農地變更之增值。因此，所有權並非能直接激勵農民從事農地利用，即便農民係透過承租方式擴大農場經營規模，只要能保障農民投入成本能與未來獲得收益相符，皆可激勵農民努力從事農作。 三、經本研究調查發現，由於目前購買農地價格太高，且農民擁有農地所有權與使用權對農地利用激勵效果相似，因此在資金條件不足情況下，透過承租方式取得農地，可減輕農民在資金負擔方面的壓力，實為未來主要擴大農場經營規模之方式。而目前政府所推動之小地主大佃農政策，雖係以承租方式擴大農場經營規模，且施行迄今頗具績效，然其政策績效似有成長趨緩之趨勢，故本研究針對小地主大佃農政策績效成長趨緩之原因進行分析，發現主要因地主願意出租之農地多已經初步釋出、三七五減租政策之持續影響、農民健康保險資格影響農地整合活化、缺乏地緣關係難透過承租農地擴大農場經營規模及特殊農業經營傾向以購買農地擴大農場經營規模等五項原因，可能影響該政策績效有趨緩成長之勢。故本研究基於研究觀察及發現，據以研提五項政策修正建議，包括：1.由於農地多已初步釋出，故應開始從農地規模化轉而思考農地集中化，不再僅追求量的成長；2.透過農地管理中心整合目前委託經營、口頭租約、代耕之擴大農場經營規模方式，不僅以書面契約為必要條件；3.調整農民健康保險之資格條件，不必然以擁有或承租一定農地面積以上為審查必要條件；4.透過現有大佃農師徒學習或是參與學習方式，引領新農民獲得當地農村信任感，順利承租農地；5.獎勵地主及承租人雙方簽訂長期農地租賃契約，以刺激承租人規劃及思考更長期之農地利用等，可供作為政府機關未來進行相關政策修訂及調整之參考依據。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibilities and limitations of these instruments as mechanisms of increasing the access to the land by the rural landless workers as well as by the small farmers endowed with insufficient land. The central question underlying the analysis presented is to what extent such instruments were sufficient to serve effectively as substitutes of the traditional process of agrarian reform, centered on land redistribution. This analysis is based on a bibliographic survey covering the theories of the agricultural land markets and also of the agricultural land taxation, in both cases focusing on the Brazilian case. However, the thesis extends itself also to the experiences of some Latin American countries in what matters the experiences with the new agrarian reform policy tools adopted in Brazil in the period under analysis. The empirical analysis presented in the thesis used extensively the following data sources: 1) the Cadastro de Im?veis Rurais of INCRA, accompanied by the respective Estat?sticas Cadastrais , both of them relative to 1998; 2) the 1995-96 Agricultural Census of IBGE, and, in particular, the special tabulations of this Census generated for the Project of Technical Cooperation INCRA/FAO; 3) consolidated listing of the "C?dula da Terra" Program (PCT) and report on the families benefited by the PCT and Land Bank, both of them provided by the Ministry of Agrarian Development (MDA), including, respectively, the periods 1997-2002 , 2000-2004 and 1999-2004; 4) report with tables showing the areas declared of social interest for the purpose of land reform, and report on the farms that were expropriated for the purpose of agrarian reform, both of them provided by INCRA, covering, respectively, the periods 1964-1985 and 1979-2002. The arguments developed in the thesis are based, also, on data on agricultural land prices collected by Getulio Vargas Foundation (covering the period 1982-1998); Statistics on Land Taxes of INCRA, for the periods 1975- 1978 and 1982-1989; Statistics relative to the ITR profile, relative to 1997, furnished by the Secretaria da Receita Federal (SRF); and Statistics on the revenues administered by the SRF, for the period 1990-2001. The study concludes that, contrary to what has been propagated by its defenders, the new agrarian reform instruments, implemented by the country in the period under analysis, were not capable of generating an effective increase in the access to the land by the small producer in Brazil. In addition, the analysis of relevant aspects of the institutional reality of the rural land markets in Brazil indicates that these instruments, at least in the form that they were conceived, would not be capable of promoting a significant change in our agrarian structure. / O trabalho tem por objetivo estudar os instrumentos de interven??o no mercado de terras rurais utilizados no Brasil no per?odo 1997-2002, que s?o o cr?dito fundi?rio e o imposto territorial rural (ITR), com vistas a analisar suas possibilidades e limita??es como mecanismos de amplia??o do acesso ? terra aos trabalhadores rurais sem terra e com terra insuficiente. A quest?o central que est? subjacente ? an?lise realizada ? em que medida tais instrumentos s?o capazes de servir efetivamente de substitutos do processo de reforma agr?ria mediante desapropria??o de terras ociosas.

De outro lado, para a an?lise emp?rica pertinente ao tema em estudo, lan?ou-se m?o das seguintes informa??es estat?sticas: Cadastro de Im?veis Rurais do INCRA, e respectivas Estat?sticas Cadastrais, ambos de 1998; Censo Agropecu?rio do IBGE, de 1995-1996, e, em particular, informa??es das tabula??es especiais deste Censo produzidas no ?mbito do Projeto de Coopera??o T?cnica INCRA/FAO; Listagem consolidada do Programa C?dula da Terra (PCT), Relat?rio de fam?lias beneficiadas pelo PCT e Relat?rio de fam?lias beneficiadas pelo Banco da Terra, do Minist?rio do Desenvolvimento Agr?rio (MDA), abrangendo, respectivamente, os per?odos 1997-2002, 2000-2004 e 1999-2004; Relat?rio com quadros demonstrativos das ?reas declaradas de interesse social para fins de desapropria??o e Relat?rio anal?tico da desapropria??o de im?veis rurais, ambos do INCRA, abrangendo, respectivamente, os per?odos 1964-1985 e 1979-2002; Estat?sticas de pre?os de terras agr?colas da Funda??o Get?lio Vargas (FGV), relativas aos anos de 1982 a 1998; Estat?sticas Tribut?rias do INCRA, nos per?odos 1975-1978 e 1982-1989; Estat?sticas relativas ao Perfil do ITR, de 1997, da Secretaria da Receita Federal (SRF); e Estat?sticas de arrecada??o da receita administrada pela SRF, no per?odo 1990-2001. O estudo conclui que, ao contr?rio do que tem sido propagado pelos seus defensores, os instrumentos adotados no pa?s, no per?odo considerado, n?o foram capazes de garantir de forma significativa a referida amplia??o do acesso ? terra. Ademais, a an?lise de aspectos relevantes da realidade institucional do mercado de terras rurais brasileiro indica que dificilmente estes instrumentos, tal como foram implementados, seriam capazes de promover modifica??o importante em nossa estrutura fundi?ria.

Mūsų šalis pasižymi didele gamtinės aplinkos įvairove ir nevienodomis žemės ūkiui sąlygomis. Žemės ūkio paskirties žemė turėtų būti planuojama taip, kad būtų sudarytos palankios sąlygos rentabiliai organizuoti žemės ūkio gamybą. Darbo tikslas – išanalizuoti Kaišiadorių rajono žemės ūkio paskirties žemės naudojimą. Tyrimo objektas – Kaišiadorių rajono žemės fondas bei šio rajono seniūnijų žemės ūkio paskirties žemėje suformuoti žemės sklypai. Kaišiadorių rajone kaip ir Lietuvoje didžiausią dalį sudaro tie ūkiai, kurių plotas 1 – 3 ha, 3 – 10 ha, didesni nei 300 ha yra tik 3 ūkiai. Galima teigti, kad vyrauja smulkūs ūkininkų ūkiai. Panaši tendencija būdinga tiek Kauno apskrityje, tiek ir Lietuvoje. Siekiant nustatyti Kaišiadorių rajono žemės ūkio paskirties žemės naudojimą, bei žemės sklypų konsolidacijos reikalingumą, buvo atliktas ekspertinis tyrimas 11 šio rajono seniūnijų. Jų pateikti duomenys išanalizuoti ir apibendrinti. / Our country has a high diversity of the natural environment and agriculture in varying conditions.

Lietuvoje atkūrus nepriklausomybę pasikeitė žemės ūkio gamybos ekonominiai ryšiai, rinkos realizavimo bei ekonomikos sąlygos, kurių pagrindiniu prioritetu tapo žemės ūkio pelningumas. Pasekoje to, mažiau palankiose ūkininkauti teritorijose prasidėjo spartūs žemės ūkio naudmenų renatūralizacijos procesai. Viena iš teikiamų alternatyvų ūkininkaujantiems nenašiose bei mažiau palankiose ūkininkauti teritorijose tapo miškų įveisimas ne miško žemėje. Nenašių ir žemės ūkiui nenaudojamų žemės ūkio naudmenų apželdinimas mišku laikoma svarbia miškų ūkio plėtros priemone, kuri padėtų įgyvendinti Lietuvos miškų ūkio politikos strategijoje ir miškingumo didinimo programoje numatytus pagrindinius tikslus iki 2020 metų padidinti Lietuvos miškingumą 3 %. Darbe atliekamas tyrimas norint nustatyti nenašių žemių apželdinimo galimybes mišku Kauno apskrityje. Šiam tikslui pasiekti buvo nagrinėjama miškų įveisimą reglamentuojantys įstatymai bei kiti teisės aktai, nustatantys pagrindinius kriterijus miško įveisimui ne miško žemėje. Taip pat atliekant tyrimą nagrinėjamos GIS technologijų panaudojimo galimybės, kurių pagalba galima nesunkiai nustatyti tinkamiausias vietas miškams įveisti pagal visus pasirinktus kriterijus. Tyrimo metu paaiškėjo, kad Kauno apskrityje yra 39040,4 ha nenašių žemės ūkio naudmenų, kurių našumo balas yra mažesnis nei 32 balai. 31826,40 ha iš nenašių žemės ūkio naudmenų atitinka miško įveisimui keliamus pagrindinius kriterijus.

As a consequence, processes of rapid agricultural land renaturalization began in the areas unfavourable to agriculture. One of the alternatives offered to farmers who own an infertile and less suitable land for farming is afforestation of a non-forest land. Afforestation of infertile and unused farmland is considered as an important means of forestry development that will help implement fundamental objectives of the Lithuanian Forestry Strategy and the Afforestation Programme to increase the Lithuanian forest coverage by 3 per cent by the year 2020. This research work is aimed at evaluating possibilities of infertile land afforestation in the Kaunas County. To achieve this objective, consideration was given to legislation regulating afforestation and establishing the basic criteria for afforestation of non-forest land. The study also looked into the use of GIS technology options that will allow to easily identify the most suitable sites for afforestation by all the selected criteria. The study showed that the Kaunas County has 39,040.4 hectares of infertile agricultural land whose performance score is less than 32. 31,826.40 hectares (81.5%) of the infertile lands meet the required essential criteria for afforestation. The assessment of the area by the actual land use established... [to full text]

Cette thèse interroge la recomposition des espaces ruraux tunisiens sous l’angle des appropriations foncières, à partir du cas de la région de Regueb. À travers une enquête in situ alliant observations, questionnaires et entretiens, l’étude se focalise sur l’évolution des usages de la terre et des faisceaux de pouvoirs (accès, gestion, vente) des exploitants agricoles. Cette démarche permet de saisir comment cette évolution influence l’agencement de l’espace rural, et comment elle est modelée en retour par ce dernier. Nos données soulignent la diversité croissante des logiques d’exploitation (paysanne, entrepreneuriale, spéculative) et les inégalités socio-économiques entre exploitants. Cette différenciation résulte en partie des politiques publiques mises en place depuis l’introduction de l’économie capitaliste coloniale (fin 19e siècle). L’individualisation de la propriété et la marchandisation de la terre ont érodé la sécurité sociale présente dans l’ancien territoire tribal collectif, exposant les propriétaires à l’instabilité du marché et à une précarisation foncière. Les paysans sont tentés d’un côté de vendre leur terre dans une logique marchande, et de l’autre de la conserver dans une logique symbolique et de sécurisation du capital. La précarisation foncière tient aussi à la pression multiforme du marché foncier et aux inégalités d’accès aux principales ressources (financement agricole, eau, marché). En dépit des stratégies qu’ils déploient, les paysans demeurent soumis à de fortes contraintes. L’étude de cette situation apporte un nouvel éclairage sur les contestations sociales qui ont marqué la région depuis 2010 et ont conduit au départ du Président Ben Ali en 2011. / This Ph.D. dissertation examines the changes in the Tunisian rural areas from the perspective of land appropriation in the region of Regueb as a case study. Through an in situ investigation combining observations, questionnaires and interviews, the study focuses on the evolution of the land uses and the bundles of powers (access, management, sales) endowed by the farmers. This approach makes it possible to understand how this evolution both impacts the organisation of the rural space and how it is a consequence of it. Our data underlines the growing diversity of the farmers’ logic (peasant, entrepreneurial, speculative) and the social and economic inequalities between the farmers. This process is a result of the public policies that were enforced at the start of the colonial capitalist economy (end of the 19th century). The individualization of ownership and the land commodification have weakened the social security that used to exist at the time of the old common tribal territory, exposing the owners to the instability of the market and land precariousness. On the one hand, peasants are tempted to sell their land in an entrepreneurial way; on the other hand, they are willing to keep it for its symbolic value and as a securing capital. This precariousness is also fed by the multifaceted pressure of the land market and by the inequalities of access to the principal resources (money, water, market). In spite of the strategies they use, peasants face huge constraints. This study brings new light on the social contests that have been affecting the region since 2010 and contributed to the departure of President Ben Ali leave in 2011.
