Full textPopulation - in its original sense of the process of peopling - is a topic surprisingly absent from the huge volume of scholarship on Adam Smith. This topic was central to 18th century moral philosophy and political economy, the two fields Smith most famously contributed to. Its importance in Smith’s work was obscured in the 20th century by a narrow focus on economic matters in the secondary literature. For an undivided analysis of Smith’s oeuvre it is crucial that the central position of the peopling process be brought to light. Three topics that are today recognised as essential to Smith’s project are thus intimately connected to population: the relation between the division of labour and the extent of the market; the stadial theory of progress; and the link between the development of town and country, itself central to Smith’s advocacy of the freedom of trade. The market is a concept read today through an institutional lens linking it to the functioning of the capitalist economic system; Smith conceived of it as facility for trade, with essentially demographic and geographic vectors. The progress of society is both cause and effect of the growth of population. At its core is the symbiotic interrelationship between rural and urban development that Smith called the “natural progress of opulence”. In turn, looking at dynamics of population and development - including the analysis of the demographic transition - through a Smithian rather than a neo-Malthusian lens leads to a fundamental reconsideration of causal interactions between mortality, fertility, wealth and institutional variables

Full textUrbanization and rural-urban migration are processes that are surrounded by a great deal of controversy and pose as significant challenges in contemporary South Africa. In dealing, controlling, and managing urbanization and rural urban migration, the South African government has developed a number of policies to respond to this to these challenges such as Urban Development Framework of 1997 which aims to promote effective urban reconstruction and development, to guide development policies, strategies and actions of all stakeholders in the urban development processes and other policies that are geared towards urban development management. In this study, an effort is made to evaluate rural-urban migration and its link to informal settlement patterns at Disteneng area (Limpopo Province). The study used both qualitative and quantitative approaches to collect data. Questionnaires, formal interviews and observations were used to assemble primary data. Policies, journals, books were used to gather secondary data. The study found that there are quite number of issues that lead to rural-urban migration such as rural poverty and unemployment. It also established that policies that have been developed to control rural-urban migration and urbanization are not comprehensive enough to respond to rural-urban migration. They need to be revitalized and reviewed. The study also found out that the main reason for the backlog in services and development relate to a lack of commitment, capacity and experience of officials mandated to bring development to the study area. Recommendations of the study include community empowerment, skills development, monitoring of performance and capacity building for officials. There is a direct link between rural-urban migration and the sprawling of urban informal settlements calling for multi-pronged interventions from multiple government agencies to address the phenomenon. The Disteneng area is a melting pot which requires urgent attention.

Full textThis thesis explores the shifting cultural identities of young Owambo migrants living in Babilon, an informal settlement on the outskirts of Windhoek, Namibia. Through an investigation of their social, cultural and economic lives, I show how these young people invoke their Owambo-ness, but how they also transcend their ethnic identifications through engaging in an emerging Namibian youth culture, which cuts across rural-urban, ethnic, and socio-economic divides. I argue that young migrants from Ovamboland, who intend to escape their poverty stricken rural homes and arrive on packed busses, bringing with them few possessions and great expectations, constantly shift and resituate their cultural identities while trying to make a living in the city. These young people are eager to engage fully in a better life and hope to find employment in the urban economy. For many, however, this remains just that &ndash
hope. In their daily lives, the young migrants replicate, reproduce and represent rural Owambo within the urban space. Using the examples of &lsquo
traditional&rsquo
food and small-scale urban agriculture, I explore how their ideas of Owambo-ness are imagined, enforced and lived in Babilon. I argue that although migrants identify themselves in many ways with their rural homes, and retain rural values and practices to a large extent, this does not mean that they would remain &ldquo
tribesmen&rdquo
, as earlier, how classic studies in Southern African urban anthropology argued (Mayer 1961
Wilson and Mafeje 1963). They also appropriate &ldquo
ideologies&rdquo
and practices of the emerging Namibian youth culture, especially popular local music and cell phones. My study thus shows that the migrants develop multiple, fluid identities (with reference to Bank 2002)
they identify concurrently with the urban and the rural and develop a synthesis of both. The thesis is based on ethnographic research, which was conducted between February and May 2008. During the fieldwork, I engaged daily in informal discussions with many residents of Babilon, and carried out life history interviews, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews with key research participants.

Full textThis work aims to analyze the rural-urban interface, seeking to define a concept that contemplates the multiple faces and coexistences of rural and urban in the contemporary territory, from different perspectives of agents that work in this territory and in the processes of territorial planning. As a case study, was chosen one of the rural settlements of the agrarian reform in the municipality of Nova Iguaçu, located today at the rural-urban border of the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro (RMRJ). The “Marapicu Settlement” was responsible for reversing the situation of withdrawal from the rural area of the municipal master plan. The methodological procedures prioritized interdisciplinary, socio-spatial and interscalar approaches, focused on the theoretical reflection on the rural-urban relationship in the territory and on the challenges of territorial planning facing the new social actors of the rural area, from the point of view of the Urban and Regional Planning area. The field research described the territory at different scales, highlighting the patterns of occupation and territorial planning and applied interviews with key agents (community of settlers and the public managers who work with the territorial planning of the municipal and metropolitan scales). From some territorial elements pointed out in the interviews, categories of analysis of the rural-urban interface were created and possible scenarios for the settlement area, of rural, urban and rural-urban character were constructed. The results pointed to the rural-urban interface as a possible concept for analysis and application in territorial planning in Brazil, making possible a methodological exercise that contrasts the hegemonic idea of prioritizing urban issues as positive and inevitable in the territory.

Since 1960, with the taking off of Taiwan economy, lots of Amis women have migrated from Hwa-Liang and Tai-Tong to the metropolitan area in Taiwan. These Amis women played important and multiple roles in household and community in different period of their life cycles. Though, as criticized by feminist, most researchers neglected migrant women or considered them as the passive followers in process of migration. Applying the method of field research, this thesis tries to analyze how the hierarchy of power in household and the social network affect the process of migration and settlement, and to clarify the response of migrant Amis women. The following is the summary of this thesis. Firstly, the native Amis culture in 1960 was under a change from matrilateral relation to patrilateral one. Thus, Amis'' woman in household under different relation had different opportunity for migration. The hierarchy of power in household facilitated and constrained the opportunities for Amis women. Negotiating with their family was their inevitable task, and the social network provided key resources and information for their migration. Secondly, for urban Amis women, their work stretched in domestic, subsistent and formal or informal sectors. Though, their contribution of income to household did not help their participation for redistribution of resources in household, one exception was found in the case with matrilateral marital relation. Finally, this thesis tries to point out that women in Sankuang are not constrained in private sphere in household. The Amis women played important roles for community ties and the preservation of native culture. They established close relationship with their kin, neighbors, co-workers and fellow believers. The network of female relationship helps women to rear children, to complete subcontracting and domestic work in household. Simultaneously, it promotes women to negotiate with the employer, to prevent patriarchal violence and to support the female political agent.

This study set out to evaluate the extent of land use change, competition and conflict in Polokwane city and in selected land restitution areas of Limpopo province. The methods of data collection and analysis included document analysis, triangulation of quantitative and qualitative survey methods, use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) techniques and field observations. The restitution studies relied on information from the regional land claims commission regarding land dispossessions, land claims and post settlement activities which were analysed using content analysis. Land use maps and data from department of land affairs were obtained covering different time periods from 1994 to 2002 and GIS analysis was used to document land use change, competition and conflicts. A questionnaire survey involving a sample of 240 residents, 164 business people and 16 government officials was conducted and analysed quantitatively to establish perceptions and experiences with land use changes. In-depth interviews with key informants were also conducted and information analysed qualitatively. The researcher also engaged in extensive field observations in the city and surrounding land restitution areas. The study found that both Polokwane city and the surrounding land reform areas were characterised by rapid land use change, competing interests, conflict, disputes and tensions related to access, control and use of land resources historically and currently. Other key findings include the fact that the structure of Polokwane area is a result of apartheid planning. It has a distorted spatial pattern, the result of political factors that can be identified as: a legacy of apartheid; land use policy; competition among potential users; inadequate legislation and planning; low provisions for land use control and rezoning; land use speculation and lack of adequate public participation in the planning processes. Polokwane interaction with the rural areas is inadequate and does not support development of these areas leading to persistent service delivery issues. A management strategy is recommended with the following features: Capacity building, Conflict resolution, Stakeholders participation and Governance. Adequate land use control mechanism need to be put in place; public policies should minimise conflicts between alternative land development strategies; existing policies and procedures applicable to land management should be reviewed. An effective national land reform programme is required to drive development; public participation is key in all planning activities. Mediation is essential because it is a more efficient and less costly means of concluding land use conflicts. Polokwane needs to play a greater role in managing land use, changes, competition and conflicts both in the capital city and in the surrounding rural areas.
