Abstract:
Rodolfo Stavenhagen’s analytical approach, as laid out in his 1965 “Seven Erroneous Theses about Latin America,” prioritized a dialectical perspective and relationships of functionality between two dynamics within a single structure and crystallized in fundamental conceptual proposals such as internal colonialism and a focus on the analysis of agrarian social structure. Application of the approach to current research problems in Argentina sheds light on the changes in agrarian social structure that have taken place in recent decades, in particular changes in dominant forms of land tenure, the relations of production, and the functional relationships between areas at different levels of development. La perspectiva analítica que Rodolfo Stavenhagen desarrolla en “Siete tesis equivocadas sobre América Latina ” prioriza la perspectiva dialéctica y las relaciones de funcionalidad entre dos dinámicas de una misma estructura y cristalizada en propuestas como el concepto de “colonialismo interno” y en el análisis de la estructura social agraria. La actualidad de este abordaje para definir algunos problemas de investigación que remiten a los cambios ocurridos en las últimas décadas en la estructura social agraria de Argentina arroja luz sobre cambios a las formas dominantes de propiedad y tenencia de la tierra, a las relaciones de producción en el agro y a las relaciones de funcionalidad que se establecen entre zonas o áreas de diferentes niveles de desarrollo.

Abstract:
Land ownership and land mastery are two things that build rural structures in the community. In the peasant community, the Agrarian structure becomes the determinant of other aspects of life, such as agricultural production rate, income level as well as economic and other social factors. The importance of Agrarian structure in the peasant community makes researchers conduct a study aimed at analysing the typology of the Agrarian structure of transmigrant farmers in South Konawe Province of Southeast Sulawesi through a combination of ownership aspects and mastery aspects. This research used qualitative methods by taking one case, namely in the Transmigration Settlement Unit (UPT) Arongo in Southeast Sulawesi Province. The results showed that through the combination of aspects of land ownership and land mastery as a form of Agrarian structure, there are three typologies of Agrarian structure form in the UPT. Arongo, owning and mastering agricultural land, owning but not mastering land and not owning but mastering land. To achieve Agrarian transformation, the ideal typology of Agrarian structures for peasant communities is in the form of Agrarian structures in which people own land while mastering it so that land management is optimal.

Abstract:
Purpose. The aim of the research is to determine the nature and the content of social and political factors of transformation in agrarian sphere of Ukraine. The present study supports agriculture, the subject of social and political factors of transformation in agrarian sphere, such as land reform and institutional transformation. Methodology. The methodology of the research is based on the usage of methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, the unity of the historical and logical comparisons, mathematical, statistical and cartographic methods. Finding. The core and the foundation of socio-political factors of transformation in agrarian sphere is considered the agrarian reform. Under the agrarian reform, we understand – a set of measures aimed at restructuring land relations, ownership of land and property as a result of transition from planned to market-economic system. In Ukraine, the agrarian reform was developed in two stages: preparatory – until December 1999 (when the Decree of President of Ukraine dated 3 December 1999 «On urgent measures to accelerate the reform of the agricultural sector» was established); second – radical in 1999. During the agrarian reform the farmers became the owners of the land. Three basic forms of management were established– private households, farms, farms of market type. In the process of institutional transformation in agrarian sphere state and collective farms virtually disappeared, but new private farms, cooperatives, limited liability companies, joined stock companies, private households appeared. The territorial structure of agricultural production was also transformed. Results. Among the factors of transformation in the agrarian sphere of Ukraine, sociopolitical factors are undoubtedly one of the most important. In the process of transformation the separate model of agrarian reform has been created, the agrarian reform included several stages, a new institutional system based on private ownership was created.

Abstract:
The paper considers the composition and substantiates the structure of land resource management tools at agrarian enterprises. The theoretical and methodological approach to determining the composition and structure of land resources management tools at agrarian enterprises, which consists of the allocation of territorial-spatial, production-technological, agro-ecological, organizational-legal, and organizational-economic groups, is substantiated. Indicators of intensity use of land resources at agrarian enterprises were determined, the analysis and evaluation of which is the basis of land resource management at agrarian enterprises. A set of functions of land resource management at agrarian enterprises has been established, which specify the content of land resource management at agrarian enterprises. It was singled out that certain instruments of influence on the process of land resource use at agrarian enterprises lead to the consequences of this process in the form of economic, ecological, and social results. It has been proven that combining the tools of different groups with the aim of their complex application and obtaining the greatest effects of the use of land resources is expedient to be carried out based on a comparison of economic, ecological, and social results, taking into account the production and commodity specialization of agrarian enterprises, as well as their production scales and sizes. It is substantiated that the priority of obtaining certain results of land use at agrarian enterprises determines the combination of management tools and the degree of integration of the management mechanism of the use of land resources into the management of agrarian enterprises. Keywords: land resources, management mechanism, efficiency, tools, balanced development.

Abstract:
Poverty drove Indonesian poor households (e.g. their family members) to find other livelihoods. One popular choice is becoming an international migrant. This paper describes and analyzes the change in agrarian structure which causes dynamics in agrarian poverty. The study uses qualitative approach and constructivism paradigm. Research results showed that even if migration was dominated by farmer households from lower social class; it also served as livelihood strategy for middle and upper social classes. Improved economics brought dynamics on social reality. The dynamic accesses to agrarian resources consist of (1) horizontal social mobility (means that they stay in their previous social class); (2) vertical social mobility in the form of social climbing; low to middle class, low to upper class, and middle class to upper class; and, (3) vertical social mobility in the form of social sinking: upper class to middle class, upper class to lower class, and middle class to lower class. The dynamic in social classes indicates the presence of agrarian poverty cycle, they are social climbing and sinking.

Abstract:
The growth of modern systemic challenges in the context of globalization and integration processes leads to the creation of an effective regional agrarian structure, as one of the most pressing problems of scientific research in economic and social forecasting. The formation of an effective modern agrarian structure and the prospects for its long-term development will largely be determined by state policy, the institution of selective structural support for the state. The agrarian policy of the state to improve the institutional agrarian structure in the region on the basis of foreign and domestic experience should: - contribute to the growth in the number of family peasant farms in all sub-sectors of agriculture in all territories of the region; - create favorable economic conditions that stimulate the economy to create consumer (service) cooperatives of various specializations; - to economically stimulate large agro-industrial formations to interact with small forms of agribusiness. The conceptual directions and mechanisms of the long-term development of the agrarian structure in the Central Chernozem Region are defined, which include goals, stages, principles and objectives of the long-term development of the agrarian structure in the region, legal regulation, financial support, innovative development, the development of markets for agricultural products measures to implement the concept.

A função social da propriedade rural, enquanto direito, princípio e garantia estabelecidos na Constituição Federal de 1988, constitui o conceito central da presente dissertação de mestrado e sua abordagem teve como fundamento a versão contra-hegemônica dos direitos humanos, aqui reconhecida como instrumento de transformação e superação de maneira radicalmente democrática dos conflitos por terra no Brasil. O objetivo geral da pesquisa reside na análise das experiências históricas do Assentamento Normandia e do Acampamento na Fazenda Papagaio - ambos localizados na região Agreste do estado de Pernambuco -, nas quais procuramos identificar as determinações sociojurídicas que conduziram, na primeira, ao reconhecimento da função social da propriedade rural e, na segunda, ao impedimento à sua efetivação enquanto condição que possibilita a expansão da justiça social, ainda que nos marcos de uma sociedade capitalista. Nessa perspectiva, fizemos a opção metodológica pela pesquisa bibliográfica e documental com abordagem qualitativa. Inicialmente, dedicamo-nos ao estudo das principais obras dos autores clássicos do pensamento social brasileiro com a finalidade de compreender os fundamentos históricos da estrutura agrária do Brasil e os níveis elevados de concentração fundiária que a caracterizam. Em seguida, investigamos a regulamentação do conceito de função social da propriedade rural nas cartas magnas brasileiras e no plano jurídico infraconstitucional, bem como os principais debates travados a seu respeito. Construído o quadro teórico, pudemos desenvolver, com maior consistência, a última etapa da presente dissertação, na qual realizamos uma pesquisa documental com base nos processos administrativos e judiciais relativos a cada uma das citadas experiências. Ao final, a pesquisa nos permitiu concluir que o próprio texto constitucional sofre diferentes interpretações, podendo ser instrumentalizado para atender aos interesses da elite agrária brasileira. Assim, se, por um lado, a experiência do Assentamento Normandia revelou a inserção da dimensão social e política do conflito por terra no debate jurídico e o reconhecimento da função social da propriedade rural como instrumento que possibilita a efetivação de um conjunto de direitos fundamentais, por outro, a experiência do Acampamento Papagaio demonstrou a limitação do debate sobre a reforma agrária a uma discussão exclusivamente técnica relativa à (im)produtividade da terra, acabando por gerar uma leitura do dispositivo constitucional que regula a função social da propriedade rural funcional à reprodução da lógica segragacionista imposta pelo direito de propriedade em seu aspeto mais tradicional.
The social function of rural property, as related to rights, principle and guaranty stated in the Federal Constitution of 1988, forms the basis for the central concept of this master degree thesis and its approach had as basement the counter hegemonics version of human rights, here recognized as an instrument of transformation and overcoming in a radical and democratic way of conflicts for land in Brazil. The general aim of this search is the analyses of historic conflicts in Normandia settlement and encampment on Papagaio farm.- both located in rural area of the state of Pernambuco - where we sought to identify the social and juridical determinations that drove, in the first, to the acceptance of social function of rural property and second, to the obstruction to its execution while condition that enables the expansion of social justice, even though in the marks of a capitalist society. Based on these facts, we made the methodological choice of bibliographical and documentary with qualitative approach. Initially, we devoted to the study of the major works of classical authors of the social Brazilian thought with the objective to understand the historical basement of agrarian structure of Brazil and the high levels of landholding concentration that features it. Then, we explored the regulation of the concept of social function of rural property in Brazilian magna-letter and the infra constitutional judicial plan and also the main debates that happened regarded to it. Built the theorist chart, we developed with more consciousness the last stage of this present thesis, in which we got the direction to have a documental search based on judicial and administrative proceedings related to each of the mentioned experiments. Finally, the search let us to deduce that the constitutional text itself admits different interpretations, it can be exploited to attend the interests of Brazilian agrarian elite. So, if by one side the experiment of Normandia settlement revealed the insertion of social dimension and the political conflicts for land in judicial debate and the recognition of social function of rural property as an instrument that enables the execution of a set of fundamental rights, on the other side, the experiment of Papagaio encampment showed the restriction of debate about agrarian reform to an exclusive technical discussion related to the poorness of the land, leading to create a reading of the constitutional apparatus that regulates the social function of functional rural property to the reproduction of logical segregation imposed by the rights of property in its more traditional aspect.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines the character, conditions and change of peasant stratification in early modern Sweden. Wherever and whenever one looks, one finds that resources were unevenly spread among peasant households. In the literature, there are different, and conflicting, views compatible with this finding. In order to explain its character, this study places peasant stratification into a broader system of resource reproduction. Resource holding, families, and individuals are studied over time. The study is based on an extended family reconstitution comprising the landholding peasants in the Mid-Swedish parish of Björskog between 1620 and 1820. Data has been compiled from cadastres, poll tax registers, parish registers, court records, and maps, and has then been related to the information on resource holding as given by tax lists and probate inventories. Six elements and three general principles are identified as fundamental to systems of resource reproduction among peasants. Starting from these, the book argues that the resource holding of a Swedish peasant household was relatively independent of family demography; that wealthy peasants were able to retain large surpluses even during the period of high rent pressure in the seventeenth century; that the reproduction of poorer peasant households was imperfect whereas the reproduction of wealthier households was extended; that wealthy peasants dominated the local community; that economic inequalities within the class of landed peasants did not increase during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; that land accumulation and cyclical mobility became important features of peasant society, but not until the decades around 1800: and that the peasant community was characterized by a large degree of geographical and downward social mobility.

Abstract:
A presente pesquisa aborda a dinâmica das estruturas demográfica, social e econômica de Porto Alegre, capital do Rio Grande de São Pedro, em seu período formativo (entre 1772 e 1800). As principais fontes consultadas foram róis de confessados, relações de moradores, mapas de população e produção e livros de casamento e de batismo. Nos três primeiros capítulos da dissertação são analisadas as características da população e suas modificações, as diferenças entre a área urbana e rural e a distribuição da posse de escravos. No quarto e no quinto capítulo são estudas a estrutura agrária local e as redes familiares e estratégias dos produtores rurais. Os dois últimos capítulos, por fim, abordam a família e o compadrio escravo. O argumento central aqui defendido é o de que Porto Alegre, já em suas primeiras décadas de existência, demonstrava forte dependência em relação ao escravismo. A freguesia conheceu um expressivo crescimento demográfico decorrente, em grande medida, do aumento do número de cativos. Seu núcleo urbanizado mostrava-se, desde então, bastante desenvolvido, concentrando a maior parte da população, inclusive escrava. Os cativos eram muitos e estavam distribuídos em pequenas propriedades. A fronteira agrária encontrava-se fechada e há fortes indícios apontando para um processo de diferenciação social entre os produtores rurais. Ao avaliar as condições nas quais surgiram as famílias escravas, constatouse que a atividade produtiva do senhor, o tamanho da posse escrava e a origem dos cativos aparecem como importantes fatores a serem considerados. A escolha de padrinhos, por sua vez, conheceu uma profunda transformação ao logo do período, em um processo no qual incidiram as mudanças na estrutura de posse de escravos, as variações na dinâmica do tráfico, bem como os limites e possibilidades impostos pelas redes sociais senhoriais. A economia e a sociedade de Porto Alegre, em suas primeiras décadas de existência, podem, sim, ser classificadas como escravistas.
This paper aims to present an analysis of the dynamics of demographic, social and economic structures in Porto Alegre, capital of Rio Grande de São Pedro, in its formative period (from 1772 to 1800). The main sources consulted were of confessed sterols, neighborhood relations, maps of production and population, and books of marriage and baptism. In the first three chapters of this dissertation, the population characteristics and its modifications, the differences between urban and rural areas and the distribution of slaveholding are analyzed. In the fourth and fifth chapters present the study of the local agrarian structure, family networks and farmers’ strategies. In the last two chapters the family and crony slave are discussed. The central argument supported is that Porto Alegre, in its first decades of existence, showed strong dependence on slavery. The parish has experienced a significant growth of population due largely to the increase in the number of captives. Its urbanized core showed up quite developed, concentrating most population, including slaves. There were many captives and they were distributed in small farms. The agrarian frontier was closed and there is strong evidence pointing a process of social differentiation among farmers. In assessing the conditions under which emerged slave families, it was found that the productive activity of the master, the size of the possession of captive and the origin of the slaves, are important factors to be considered. Meanwhile, the choice of godparents experienced a profound transformation over the period, a process which focused on changes in the structure of slave ownership, changes in the dynamics of trafficking, as well as the limits and possibilities posed by social networks manor. The economy and society of Porto Alegre, in its first decades of existence, can indeed be classified as slavery.

Abstract:
People's narratives, interpretations and understandings of the Chad-Cameroon Oil Pipeline and pipeline actors emphasise the uneven exercise of power through which structural violence is effected and experienced. The complexity of the processes of structural violence along with local socio-political context and peoples' dynamic understandings thereof play major roles in shaping resistance practices, in complex ways in Kribi and Nanga-Eboko. Working from these narratives, I offer a theoretical re-articulation of structural violence as (i) tangible through the body, (ii) historically compounded, (iii) spatially compressed and (iv) enacted in a globalised geopolitical nexus by actors who are spatially nested within a racialised and gendered hierarchy of scale. Drawing from critical interdisciplinary work on violence, my theory of a triad of divergent, often interrelated and co-existing, distinguishable indexes of structural violence includes: infra/structural violence, industrial structural violence and institutionalized structural violence. The particular processes and mechanisms of uneven power within structural violence, local socio-political contexts and the epistemologies through which power is conceived (in this case I consider epistemologies of la sorcellerie, or witchcraft) inform resistance practices; I illuminate key operations (within geographies characterised by high levels of infra/structural violence) within the spatial practices of power that influence the tendency for resistance struggles to be quiet, spontaneous and/or labour-based. I conclude with a discussion of the political and intellectual value of academic work on life and being amid structural violence, emphasising the need to move beyond the invisible/visible dichotomy that has often informed intellectual work on structural violence.

This research has as its objective the analysis of the social conflicts during the process of land structuring of the region that currently comprises the city of São Carlos-SP, in the second half of the 19th century. The period of analysis, from 1850 to 1888, was chosen for being an important transition period in the country, marked, above all, by the Lei de Terras of 1850 and the abolition of slavery. It is also comprised within this time frame the early days of the transition of the production model in the region, away from the raising of animals and the production of foods destined for immediate necessities, to a model founded on coffee plantations, a model that already featuring capitalistic traits, modeled on a more disciplined and continuous work regime. The main documental scope that guides the research is a collection of civil lawsuits concerning land questions. Nonetheless, I combine the lawsuits with other sources, like land registries, censuses, Almanaques and journals. Despite sharing a semantic similarity, as well as a common etymological origin with the word “ownership”, “squatters” (“posseiros”) and “owners” (“possuidores”) will take on opposite meanings in the context of agrarian disputes of the 19th century: the former were stigmatized as poor invaders who did not have the means to make the land productive and to legalize it; the latter were the ones who, besides having ownership of the land, also possessed land titles. However, the construction of these categories is not as linear as it might seem at first sight. On many occasions, social and political prestige would supplant the necessity for proof of property titles. Small and medium-sized farmers had a hard time transforming their lands into legal property. Thus, I put forward the hypothesis that “posseiros” and “possuidores” are categories that, far from being fixed and having stable definitions, outline a historical process of conflict. In this way, I seek to comprehend the object of my research, in the light of the notions of primitive accumulation present in Marx, and most of all, in Thompson; and the notion of stigma, present in Goffman and Norbert Elias. I also intend to find out, with the chosen theoretical and empirical foundations, how a group of free laborers earned their place in the social dynamics of the region at the time.
Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar os conflitos sociais durante o processo de estruturação fundiária da região que compõe o atual município de São Carlos-SP, durante a segunda metade do século XIX. A delimitação temporal – entre 1850 e 1888 - foi escolhida por se tratar de um privilegiado período de transições no país, marcadas, sobretudo, pela Lei de Terras de 1850 e pela abolição da escravidão. Também é dentro desse período que se inicia na região a transição de um modelo de produção voltado para a criação de animais e cultivo de gêneros de primeiras necessidades, para o empreendimento cafeeiro, modelo já com traços capitalistas, assentado em uma disciplina de trabalho mais rígida e contínua. O escopo documental primordial que rege a pesquisa é um conjunto de processos cíveis acerca de questões ligadas à terra. Entretanto, faço o cruzamento dos processos com outras fontes, como registros de terras, recenseamentos, Almanaques e jornais. Apesar de guardarem uma similaridade semântica e uma mesma origem etimológica em torno da palavra posse, posseiros e possuidores vão ganhar significados diametralmente opostos no bojo das disputas agrárias durante o século XIX: os primeiros ficaram estigmatizados como invasores pobres que não dispunham de recursos para deixar a terra produtiva e para legalizá-la; já os segundos são os que, além da posse, tinham o título de propriedade de seu território. Entretanto, a construção dessas categorias não é tão linear quanto aparenta. Muitas vezes o prestígio político e social suplantava a necessidade de comprovação dos títulos de propriedade. Já pequenos e médios lavradores por vezes sofriam para transformar sua posse em propriedade. Assim, parto da hipótese que posseiros e possuidores, são categorias que, longe de serem estanques e de terem definições seguras, demarcam um processo histórico de conflitos. Assim, procuro compreender meu objeto de pesquisa à luz dos conceitos de acumulação primitiva, presente em Marx e, sobretudo, Thompson, e de estigma, presente em Goffman e Norbert Elias. Pretendo também encontrar, com a mobilização empírica e teórica escolhida, como o grupo de trabalhadores nacionais livres conseguiu um lugar nas dinâmicas sociais da região à época.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter explores the history of the “agrarian question,” or what to do about a deeply inequitable landowning system, in Brazil. It focuses on ideas and how they have interacted with actors, institutions and policy outcomes. It distinguishes between four periods. During the 1910s, pro-land reform ideas emerged but a conservative political context limited their influence. From the 1920s to the mid-1950s, such ideas diffused more widely, but there was little grassroots mobilisation for, or implementation of, reform. Between the late 1950s and the mid-1980s, conflict over land escalated and innovations arose in the ideational and institutional realms. Again, however, little land reform resulted. Finally, since the late 1980s, there have been major increases in mobilisation and reform. Nevertheless, the agrarian structure remains highly unequal.

Abstract:
AbstractArchaeologists are employing a variety of digital tools to develop new methodological frameworks that combine computational and experiential approaches which is leading to new multisensory research. In this article, we explore vision, sound, and movement at the ancient Maya city of Copan from a multisensory and multiscalar perspective bridging concepts and approaches from different archaeological paradigms. Our methods and interpretations employ theory-inspired variables from proxemics and semiotics to develop a methodological framework that combines computation with sensory perception. Using GIS, 3D, and acoustic tools we create multisensory experiences in VR with spatial sound using an immersive headset (Oculus Rift) and touch controllers (for movement). The case study simulates the late eighth and early ninth-century landscape of the ancient Maya city of Copan to investigate the role of landscape in facilitate movement, send messages, influence social interaction, and structure cultural events. We perform two simulations to begin to study the impact of vegetation on viewsheds and soundsheds of a stela at ancient Copan. Our objectives are twofold: (1) design and test steps towards developing a GIS computational approach to analyse the impact of vegetation within urban agrarian landscapes on viewsheds and soundsheds and (2) explore cultural significance of Stela 12, and more generally the role of synesthetic experience in ancient Maya society using a multisensory approach that incorporates GIS and VR.

Abstract:
Abstract The implementation of the Tudor Acts in the mid sixteenth century not only introduced financial incentives for killing vermin, but also gave official sanction, moral emphasis, and structure to the less intensive and more haphazard war against many wild creatures that had in any case been prosecuted ad hoc over the earlier centuries since Man first settled the land. As this account will show, these Acts vastly increased the numbers of animals, birds, and even in some cases reptiles and amphibians, that were officially targeted in the name of agrarian protection. In some cases species were pursued, irrespective of the Acts, for reasons far removed from the stated agricultural considerations. Justification— should any have been needed—was readily found for example, in conflict with Man’s interests (Fox, Red Kite, Rook), fear (Adder), revulsion (Toad), or even prejudice and superstition.

Abstract:
Agrarian sector occupies a special place in the structure of the economy. The article presents the characteristics of this segment and its infrastructure in Ukraine. The transition to a market economy requires the formation of an appropriate market environment, without which the civilized market and agrarian, in the first place, cannot work normally. Agrarian producers independently choose channels for selling their products, forms of sales and sales of resources and use various intermediary structures in their economic activities. All these activities lead to the need to collect, accumulate and process growing information streams that farms have to use efficiently and in a timely manner. The harmonious development of the entire system of social production and food security of the country depends on the effective functioning of all available infrastructure components. Based on the foregoing, it is possible to understand that this topic is extremely important and require the research. The goal of the article is to investigate the condition of the agricultural market and its infrastructure in Ukraine. It was described the main problems of agriculture. To make the research about the topic, it was necessary to use data from the official site of State Statistic Service of Ukraine. It was analyzed the project Strategy for the development of the agrarian sector in Ukrainian economy for the period up to 2020. This project is developed by the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine. Also, it was needful to use synthesis, analysis, deduction, induction, and comparison methods. As a result of research, we described possible ways to resolve main problems in this sphere, made the analysis of the main statistical data which are related to the agrarian sector.

Abstract:
This study aims to present the socio-economic and spiritual-religious specifics of the Syrian Kurds. The dominant agrarian livelihood of the “foreign Kurds” stimulates the preservation of the tribal-clan profile of their social structure. This directly reflects on the stability and strong resistance of the specific conservative political culture in which the political center is differentiated, due to non-social parameters. If religion (in a nuanced degree, ethnicity) plays a major role in the formation of the nation-building and state-building process among neighbors, Arabs and Turks, then in the Kurds, especially the Syrians, a similar function is played by the family cell. The main points in the article are: The Syrian Kurds; Armenians and Christians – Assyrians; The specific religious institutions of the Kurds. In conclusion: The main conclusion that can be drawn is that the Kurds in Syria are failing to create a large urban agglomeration, which pushes them to be constantly associated with the agricultural way of life. Even the small towns that were formed did not get a real urban appearance, as their inhabitants had numerous relatives who remained to live in the countryside.

Public participation is not only limited to direct movements such as demonstrations, the use of social media in the community has proven to be effective in escorting changes in government policies. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the "digital movement of opinion" on twitter social media through the hashtag "Percuma Lapor Polisi" in improving Indonesian Police services. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the data source of social media twitter on #percumalaporpolisi. The #Percumalaporpolisi movement is a form of public disillusionment through social media twitter, towards the services of the Indonesian Police for the period 1 February – 1 March 2022. The data analysis phase of this research uses the “Social Network Analysis” method, to identify the social structure and explain the position of the main or affected stakeholders. can be called a vital player. In analyzing the data, the author is assisted by using tools based on the Netray.id website. The results of data analysis and visualization show that there are social networks of several key actors in the spread of #Percumalaporpolisi. The main actor plays a role in driving public opinion through conflicting information on social and economic cases that are not in favor of the community. Stimulating opinion is considered very effective in creating public support through the #Percumalaporpolisi movement on social media. Indonesians people are quicker to support movements that are oriented towards violence and blasphemy. The #Percumalaporpolisi movement focuses on the issue of agrarian conflicts between Wadas Village Residents and the government involving the military and police officers and the issue of alleged blasphemy. The incident created a tremendous digital opinion movement on the social media platform twitter. Social media can play an important role in overseeing the policy process at the national level, through leading opinion on social media.

Abstract:
The hilly area of Central Italy represents one of the most original characteristics of Italian agrarian system distinguished by a particular form and technique of land management, la Mezzadria (sharecropping), which was a contract stipulated between a landowner and the farmer, reflected in the construction of open space as well as artifacts. The structure of rural settlements typical of sharecropping is a mosaic of terrains with scattered farmhouses (case coloniche), connected by a dense road network. The architecture of these structures is always the same with only slight variations articulated by the form of the terrain and in relationship with their use and the road pathways, and is characterised by a rectangular plan with the rooms dispersed on two floors and an external staircase which is the prevalent distinguishing trait. Sharecropping rural heritage represents an important case study for the analysis and cataloguing of vernacular architecture since artifacts come from precise needs linked to the social and cultural life of the farming family. This paper investigates vernacular rural architecture in Central Italy, particularly in the mid-Adriatic in the southern Marche Region, by building up an investigative and categorization method: selecting precise geographical areas where the original farmhouses have first been identified by studying historical maps of the 19th century before moving on to in situ exploration. Photography has also been a useful instrument for constructing the taxonomy of rural ruins which today are in a state of total abandonment; showing the photographs next to each other allows us to more clearly identify and understand subtle differences and suggest a reuse of the buildings.

Full text
Abstract:
The main objective of the article is to indicate the main challenges and development opportunities related to the bioeconomy, shown in the regional layout on the example of the Małopolska voivodeship. The theoretical part of a paper is basing on a review of the literature regarding a concept of bioeconomy. It finds is conclusions in a model of 'bio-economy triad of challenges', that the conventional economy is facing. The issues of bioeconomy in this paper are presented in a context of:  processes taking place between enterprises, consumers and the state,  challenges for qualitative and quantitative economic development. Referring to the above-mentioned model, it was stated that the bioeconomy should be the main direction of development as part of the smart specialization strategy for Małopolska. This will allow, among others development of functional value chains, increasing the added value of production and the possibility of sustainable management of natural resources. Attention was also paid to conditions of development that may constitute significant barriers in shaping the bio-profile of the economy on a regional basis:  environmental, in the sense of sustainable access to natural resources;  social, understood as the quality of social capital and access to a qualified workforce;  institutional, being the state's responsibility and related to the law, providing adequate infrastructure or adequate expenditures for R&D. It was noticed that Małopolska is characterized by a dual development model - on the one hand, we are dealing with sectors of modern technologies concentrated in the provincial city and some poviat cities. On the other hand, when we talk about the raw material sphere, one can talk about development destimulants, i.e. agrarian structure, the problem of fallowing land or the lack of a qualified workforce in rural areas.

Abstract:
The systemic and structural changes taking place in modern Russian legislation reflect those large-scale changes that primarily manifest the internal and external aspects of the state's integration into international integration associations, which significantly expands the scope of legal regulation not only in the economic segment of public relations, but also makes it possible to optimize legislative regulation in certain spheres of economic and economic activity. The purpose of this study is a special area of social relations, which is objectively included in the operating mechanism of management, but does not have its own independent legislative consolidation. We are talking about the so-called «economic legislation», a concept that in Russian jurisprudence is very conditional, since it is still not accepted to single out a separate subject of legal regulation in this sphere of relations in the legal and legislative doctrine. Guided by the set research goals and objectives, the authors attempt to analyze the regulatory framework of the mechanisms of integration interaction. At the same time, the author's vision of this problem is based on special tools and an approach that provide a comprehensive vision of the problem under consideration and is based on the dualism of its perception. Nevertheless, in recent years in the Russian legal science, an opinion has been increasingly expressed about the need for an integrated approach to this problem, which is justified by the objective processes of integrating the Russian economy into the global economic space and, accordingly, the unification of Russian legislation, in particular agrarian legislation, into the global regulatory framework regulatory system.

Abstract:
Agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa is undergoing rapid transformation involving major changes in farmland ownership and farm scales from small to medium farms, with the widespread use of mechanisation and agro-inputs. Generally, households are increasing their farm sizes while others are dropping out of agriculture as the non-farm economy grows in both rural and urban areas. This study examined the changes in farmland sizes in two districts in the north of Ghana where agricultural extensification is still possible. Specifically, the study addressed the questions of the historical agrarian context; the magnitude and character of farm structure changes; the emerging spatial manifestation of farms; and the use of factors of production among the emerging socially differentiated farmers.

Abstract:
Land and resource conflicts in India have deep implications for the well-being of the country’s people, institutions, investments, and long-term development. These conflicts reveal deep structural flaws in the country’s social, agrarian, and institutional structures, including ambiguities in property rights regimes and institutions. In 2014, a study focusing primarily on reports in the national media reflected the gravity of these conflicts. There was great interest in this narrow exercise, which prompted a more rigorous and detailed data collection on conflicts and creation of an interactive web portal on land and resource conflicts in India. While the exercise is ongoing, this brief provides an interim analysis of approximately 289 conflicts for which data was collected thus far, covering the period between January-September, 2016. This analysis provides a powerful instrument to understand land resource conflicts in India. The emerging patterns from the analysis of the 289 conflicts provide inferences about sectoral and spatial distribution of conflicts. Based on these patterns, our assessment is that this brief has captured roughly 25- 40 percent of active and substantive land conflicts in the country.
