Barito Kuala, une région de Kalimantan du Sud, en Indonésie, est située le long de la côte du fleuve Barito, avec une largeur moyenne de 500 m et une longueur d'environ 900 km. Sa proximité de la rivière a rendu la terre dans cette région riche et fertile, avec de vastes zones de marécages forestiers inoccupés. Ces conditions favorables ont conduit le gouvernement indonésien, depuis 1969, à mettre en œuvre des politiques de transmigration à l'égard de la région de Barito Kuala et à l'affecter à divers projets agricoles. En conséquence, en 2014, Barito Kuala est devenu le plus grand producteur de riz de Kalimantan du Sud, avec 53% de sa superficie utilisée comme rizières. Les surfaces restantes sont allouées aux plantations (22%), suivies par les arbustes (13%), le logement (4%), les forêts (2%) et autres (6%), y compris les étangs et les rivières. La répartition actuelle des terres à Barito Kuala contraste fortement avec les images satellites prises en 1973, qui montrent clairement que la majorité de sa superficie était couverte de forêts (64%), suivie de rizières (26%), de plantations (4%) et d'autres (10%) y compris les roseaux et les rivières. Ces faits indiquent que les changements d'utilisation des terres se sont produits très rapidement à Barito Kuala, en particulier en ce qui concerne les forêts et les plantations. Ces changements majeurs dans l'utilisation des terres ont déclenché des changements majeurs dans le régime foncier, dont les droits d'utilisation des terres. Cette situation est devenue plus compliquée par le développement rapide de la nouvelle ville métropolitaine de Banjar Bakula, établie depuis 2012, qui comprend une partie de Barito Kuala dans sa zone métropolitaine. L'émergence des marchés fonciers a également affecté la forme et le rythme de l'urbanisation et les transformations des terres et les structures foncières. Il est intéressant de considérer le cas de Barito Kuala où la transformation d'une zone humide-zone rurale en une zone urbaine tentaculaire et spectaculaire est en proie à des problèmes fonciers. / Barito Kuala, a district in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, is located along the coast of the great river Barito, with an average width of 500 m and a length of about 900 km. Its proximity to the river has rendered its terrestrial landscape rich and fertile, with large areas of idle forest wetlands. These opportune conditions led the Government of Indonesia, since 1969, to implement transmigratory policies toward the district of Barito Kuala and earmarked it for various agricultural developments. As a result, in 2014, Barito Kuala became the largest rice producer in South Kalimantan, with 53% of its land area utilized as rice fields. The remaining areas are allocated for plantations (22%), followed by reeds (13%), housing (4%), forest (2%) and others (6%), including pond and rivers. The present land allocation in Barito Kuala is in stark contrast with satellite images taken in 1973, which clearly shows that most of its area was forest covered (64%) followed by rice field (26%), plantation (4%), and others (10%, including reeds and rivers). These facts indicate that land use changes occurred very quickly in Barito Kuala, especially with regards to forest and plantation areas. These major changes in land uses have triggered major shifts in land tenure, including land use rights. This situation is further complicated by the rapid development of a new metropolitan city of Banjar Bakula, established since 2012, which includes a part of Barito Kuala in its metropolitan zone. The emergence of land markets has also affected the form and pace of urbanization, including land transformations and land structures. It is interesting to consider the case of Barito Kuala; the transformation of a wetland-rural area into a sprawling and spectacular urban zone rife with land tenure issues.

This research investigates the moderating effect of cultural differences between countries on the relationship between tenure and analyst accuracy. To investigate this research looks at the expected earnings per shares and the realised earnings per share from the shares included into the AEX, CAC, DAX and FTSE. The dataset consists of 466 analysts and 3.040 observations. The time period observed is 2015, 2016 and 2017. This research shows that there is no significant relationship between tenure and analyst accuracy. The results show that masculinity, individualism and long term orientation have a moderating effect on analyst accuracy. A practical implication is that managers could employ methods to change the work culture to increase analyst accuracy. An academic implication of this research is that culture should be included as a moderating factor in future analyst accuracy research.

In this exploration, I consider the dilemmas I experienced as a young qualitative researcher, particularly the ethical questions about how I write, who I implicate as I write, and how community fits into my ideas of qualitative inquiry. This account is drawn from conversations with peers and mentors, ethnographic experience, and interviews. It is an explication of how the academic capitalist discourse that surrounds higher education conflicts with the premises of qualitative inquiry. It is a call to arms for second-generation qualitative researchers to push the boundaries, expand the development, and increase the readership of our work. It calls on our academic parents to continue to protect us within the academy, but also from the academy's criteria as we attempt to enlarge our readership and influence.

This roundtable discussion offers insights from first-year and recent faculty members about the ups and downs of the transition from graduate student to faculty member. While uch of the last year of graduate school is focused on finding a job that fits, adjusting to that job requires a shift in self-identity and role competence in addition to the physical relocation. The expectations and responsibilities as a faculty colleague, instructor, and advisor are greater. Unlike graduate school, you may be the only new person in the department, and so must acclimate to a new culture and navigate new departmental politics alone. And of course, the tenure clock starts ticking. The presenters will each discuss an aspect of the transition based on their own experiences and offer strategies for surviving and thriving in a new position.

Le développement des cultures commerciales (cacao, café), exclusivement destinées à l’exportation dès la fin du XIXème siècle, a transformé la physionomie des campagnes du Cameroun, mais aussi les structures sociales et économiques des sociétés qui les ont adoptées. Dans les sociétés bamiléké et béti, l’agriculture était fondée sur le principe de la division sexuelle du travail laissant aux femmes une place centrale dans la production alimentaire. Le travail de la terre constituait l’une des composantes de l’identité féminine et conférait aux femmes un rôle économique majeur dans ces sociétés. L’introduction des cultures d’exportation pendant la période coloniale a entraîné une transformation des systèmes agraires et affecté le rôle des femmes. Notre étude analyse l’évolution des rapports de genre à travers notamment la cohabitation entre les cultures vivrières (féminines) et d’exportation (masculines) dans les exploitations familiales. Elle explore la manière donc les politiques coloniales ont influencé d’une part les systèmes familiaux de production agricole et d’autre part les rapports sociaux (aînés-cadets, hommes-femmes), en ce qui concerne notamment l’accès aux ressources de production. Elle met en évidence les luttes des femmes Bamiléké pour la préservation de leurs droits sociaux et économiques à la fin de la période coloniale / The development of commercial crops such as cocoa and coffee exclusively for export at the end of the nineteenth century deeply transformed Cameroon's rural areas as well as the social and economic structures of the societies that adopted them. In the Bamileke and Beti societies, agriculture was based on the principle of a sexual division of labor in which women had a central role in food production. Agricultural work was one of the components of female identity and gave women a major economic role in these societies. The introduction of export crops during the colonial period led to a transformation of agrarian systems that affected the role of women. This study analyzes the evolution of gender relations, notably through the coexistence of food (female) and export (male) cultures on family farms. It explores the way in which colonial policies influenced both family systems of agricultural production and social relations (elders-cadets, men-women), especially with regard to access to productive resources. It highlights the ways Bamileke women struggled to preserve their social and economic rights at the end of the colonial period

This thesis argues that commons enclosure in the Clearance Era on the Uist island group in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland was a direct result of the Clearances on those islands in the 18th and 19th centuries and how the enclosure of commons on these islands was catastrophic to those communities who had functioned, worked, and thrived in those regions for millennia. Commons and commons systems are those resources such as land, water, and produce either from agriculture or natural harvesting which contribute to human habitation and existence in a particular geographic area. Commons and commons systems on North and South Uist island group are no exception. The recognition of these systems in the Uists is imperative to understanding how the enclosure of commons in the Outer Hebrideans impacted land use and agrarian practices.

One of the problems which has intrigued English historians for over a hundred years is that of the position of the common man in early England. Was he a freeman working land held communally by the village, or was he a serf laboring upon the land of an overlord? Since this question of freedom is inextricably interwoven with landholding concepts the problem may also be stated another way: Did private property in land exist from the earliest times, or is that institution the result of centuries of appropriation by individuals of land originally belonging to the commmunity as a whole? In the late 19th century a group of English historians devoted themselves to the study of this problem. The conclusions they reached varied considerably. The purpose of this essay is to examine some of those conclusions and the suppositions upon which they rest and to attempt to find methodological and ideological differences which may account for the varied results. The study will focus upon Paul Vinogradoff (1854-1925), legal historian and jurisprudential scholar, whose best known works are concerned with this subject. Toward the end of the 18th century there developed in Germany a theory of the beginnings of society, known as the Mark theory, which described those beginnings as an idyllic period when mankind lived together in free communities. English historians found this thesis much to their liking: it fitted well with English ideals of freedom and democracy, and it supported popular belief in a strong Germanic, rather than Roman, influence in the development of English institutions. Beginning with John M. Kemble' s Saxons in England in 1849, English historians almost to a man accepted the theory without critical examination of the authorities upon which it rested. In 1883 however, an amateur historian, Frederic Seebohm, in The English Villa Community challenged the Mark theory and asserted that the English common man was originally a serf laboring on an estate which strongly resembled the Roman villa. Paul Vinogradoff, a talented Russian working in England on early agrarian history, sought new proof to sustain the cause of the common free man. In Villainage in England (1892) he attempted to prove that the early villein was free both legally and economically. He was supported by Frederic Maitland in Domesday Book and Beyond (1897), who found in the Domesday survey proof of vestigial freedom, which he held could only mean that the once free villein had lost much of his liberty during the late Anglo-Saxon period, and that his subjection was completed by the Norman conquerors. William Ashley, in several works, supported Seebohm' s position, but did not always agree with him. All four historians were products of conservative background. There were, however, differences in the more intimate details of their social surroundings, differences of family, education, religion, and in the case of Vinogradoff, of national origin. Vinogradoff and Maitland came from economically secure families, who provided for them the best education available; they were religious agnostics; both were legal historians. Seebohm’s and Ashleys families were not affluent, and the education they obtained came primarily from their own efforts; both were devout members of evangelical faiths; Ashley was an economic historian and Seebohm's best works were in the field of early agrarian history. Each of these men read the sparse evidence available on the subject from a particular point of view. Vinogradoff and Maitland concluded that the early English peasant was free and that his fall from freedom to serfdom during the late Anglo-Saxon and early Norman periods was due to a large extent to a misinterpretation of his legal status. Seebohm and Ashley held he had been a serf from the time of the Teutonic settlements, and that his legal rights were never as important as his economic position.

Thesis (M.Dev.) -- University of Limpopo, 2007 / Past land policies in South Africa, which resulted in forced removals, caused insecurity among citizens, the landless as well as insufficient land administration and land use. Based on this problem, the current democratic government has developed a comprehensive and far reaching land reform policy and programmes to effect historical reconciliation, growth and development to benefit its citizens, more especially those in the rural areas where poverty is rife. Irrespective of developing land reform policies and programmes, there are still rural areas such as Syferkuil that continue to experience land ownership problems caused by the past regime. They do not benefit from such programmes. As such, this community is underdeveloped compared to other communities irrespective of being in the vicinity of highly resourced places such as the University of Limpopo experimental farm. For instance, there is no single secondary school or poverty alleviation project and facilities for primary health care in this community. As such, the study was undertaken to establish the impact of land ownership on rural development in this community. Qualitative, description research was conducted and data were collected by means of focus group interviews to get a clear picture of the impact of land ownership on the people of Syferkuil. The study identified and described the issues of land ownership, which are the major obstacles to the development of this community. These include the lack of clarity in land ownership, the lack of authority by the community leaders and chiefs as well as the overlapping of land rights. Based on the summary of the findings, recommendations were made which will be beneficial to whoever might be involved in the development of this community
