Abstract:

Este estudio analiza el cambio en la cobertura y uso del suelo con énfasis en los procesos de deforestación en dos regiones contrastantes de Colombia: Andes y Guyana, entre 1985 y 2005. Se aplicó un enfoque espacial y temporal a partir del análisis del cambio de uso y cobertura del suelo (LULCC) para evaluar y predecir los procesos de cambios asociándolos a variables explicativas y junto con métricas del paisaje y sistemas de información geográfica se analizaron patrones y tendencias de deforestación. La utilización del suelo es el resultado de la interacción de una serie de factores biofísicos, económicos, tecnológicos, institucionales, culturales, etc, que operan en un rango de escalas espaciales y temporales y se correlacionan con los procesos y patrones del paisaje. Dado que los cambios en el uso de la tierra son cada vez más rápidos, es necesario comprender las fuerzas que impulsan esos cambios y predecir sus efectos sobre los procesos del ecosistema o del ambiente global La información de cobertura del suelo para el presente estudio se basó en la interpretación de imágenes satelitales y las variables explicativas incluyeron datos biofísicos y socioeconómicos provenientes de una amplia gama de fuentes de información. Para la región de los Andes, el enfoque se dirigió a la aplicación de modelos de cambio de la tierra y de deforestación entre bosques montanos (montane forest) y bosques de piedemonte (lowland forest), usando enfoques espacialmente explícitos (Land Change Modeler-LCM) y modelos lineales generalizados (GLM). A nivel de la región de la Guayana, se estudiaron los patrones de deforestación en los modelos de ocupación típicos de la región, comparando tasas de cambio, patrones del paisaje y efectividad de figuras de conservación. Finalmente se modelizo el potencial de cambio futuro en ambas regiones prediciendo su evolución e identificando zonas de alto riesgo de deforestación y sus implicaciones frente a la conservación de la biodiversidad. Las tasas de deforestación varían entre las regiones y al interior de ellas. Para los Andes la tasa anual de deforestación fue de 1.41%, mientras que para Guayana de 0.25%; sin embargo en Guyana se evidenciaron las mayores tasas asociadas con una fase rápida e intermedia de pérdida de bosque en un modelo de transición de colono a establecimientos permanentes. Los modelos utilizados en esta tesis, sugiere que el modelo espacial de LCM basado en probabilidades de Markov tiene un mejor respuesta para explicar los cambios en el uso del suelo que los modelos lineales generalizados. La variable explicativa que mayor incide en los procesos de cambio de uso del suelo y deforestación es la distancia de las carreteras, pero existen variables como la actividad económica, pendiente, distancia a pastos y precipitación que impulsan procesos de cambio y el peso de estas variables depende del tipo de bosques y la región. Los resultados de esta tesis mostraron que algunas figuras de protección como el sistema de parques naturales nacionales y los resguardos indígenas pueden ser efectivas para frenar procesos de deforestación y que las zonas de transición entre Andes y Amazonia, Orinoquia y Magdalena Medio se encuentran bajo una mayor amenaza de conversión probable debido a su accesibilidad y migración de la población. Finalmente, una mejor comprensión de la dinámica de LULCC en Colombia, es un paso importante en el desarrollo de estrategias de planificación del territorio y conservación de la región y las investigaciones futuras deberán evaluar la incidencia de las políticas nacionales tales como tenencia de la tierra, REDD, políticas sectoriales, económicas y energéticas ante cambios en el uso del suelo y la deforestación.
This study analyzes the land cover change with emphasis on the deforestation processes in two contrasting regions of Colombia: Andes and Guyana between 1985 and 2005. A spatial and temporal statistical approach was applied from the analysis of land cover change to evaluate and predict the processes of change associated with explanatory variables and together with metrics of landscape and systems of information patterns and tendencies of deforestation were analyzed. Land use is the result of the interaction of a series of biophysical, economic, technologic, institutional and cultural factors, among others, that operate in a level of spatial and temporal scales and correlate with landscape processes and partners. Given land change are faster and faster, it is necessary to understand the strengths that drive those changes and predict their effects on the processes of the ecosystem or the global environment. Land use information for this study was based on the interpretation of satellite images and the explanatory variables including biophysical and socioeconomic data from a wide range of source of information. For the Andean region, the approach was directed towards the application of land change and deforestation models in montane and lowland forests, using Land Change Modeler – LCM and Generalized Lineal Models (GLM). At the level of La Guyana region, the patterns of deforestation were studied in the models of typical occupation of the region, comparing change rates, landscape patterns and effectiveness of figures of conservation. Finally the potential of change was modeled in both regions predicting its evolution and identifying zones of high risk of deforestation and their implications in the conservation of the biodiversity. The rates of deforestation vary in the regions and in the inside of them. For the Andean region the annual rate of deforestation was 1.41%, whereas for Guyana was 0.25%; however in Guyana the highest rates were showed associated with a fast and intermediate stage of loss of forest in a transition model from settler to permanent establishment. The models used in this thesis, suggest that the spatial model of LCM based on probabilities of Markov has a better response to explain land use changes than the generalized lineal models. The explanatory variable that greatly affect in land use change processes is the distance of roads, but variables like the economic activity, slope, distance to pasture and precipitation exist and drive processes of change and the burden of these variables depend on the type of forests and the region. The results of this thesis showed that some figures of protection like the system of National Natural Parks and the indigenous reserves can be effective to hold deforestation processes back and that the transition zones between Andes and Amazonia, Orinoquia and Magdalena Medio are under a greater threat of conversion probably because of their accessibility and migration of the population. Finally, a better understanding of the dynamic of LULCC in Colombia, is an important step in the development of strategies of planning of the territory and conservation of the region and the future investigations must evaluate the incident of the national policies, like land ownership, REDD, sectorial, economic and energetic policies in the view of land use change and the deforestation.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines transformations in spouses' bargaining power regarding land and money within rural households over the last 70 years and underlying factors in the context of both long-standing and recent rural changes in Colombia. The research takes an intra-household perspective drawing on Sen's cooperativeconflict model, separate spheres bargaining models and Kabeer's framework of power across institutional sites, as well as other feminists' contributions to bargaining models. The thesis uses the life course theory to draw out interrelated factors (e.g. material, ideological, emotional and state interventions) which have affected intra-household bargaining power regarding assets over time in the larger socio-economic context of Latin America's new rurality. The research settings are two villages in a rural municipality in the central region of the Colombian Andes. One of these, Romita, has undergone substantial change with an increasing population and diversification of its productive activities towards non-farm activities. The population of the second village, Pefia Blanca, has decreased and the diversification of productive activities is not as evident. Through a detailed study of intra-household gender relations I have demonstrated in this thesis that spouses make decisions about money and land more jointly now than before, irrespective of what each contributes in terms of money and independently of whether or not s/he owns land. This trend towards more joint decisions about money and land has been largely determined by the fact that joint household headship is increasingly becoming as the social norm and practice in Paipan households. In many cases joint household headship coexists with two separate heads and even with husband-centred household headship. A household model representing just one of these types of household headship cannot explain the simultaneous presence of different types of headships within one household in rural settings such as Paipa. These changes to social norms and practices of household headship have occurred due to the influence of changes in civil law, although the former have been slower to change than the legislation. Shifts in notions and practices of household headship and in law have been linked to women's greater awareness of their personal practical and strategic interests regarding money and land.

Abstract:

The return to the customary or integration of customary and statutory tenure systems to continue gain currency in both contemporary policy and academic discourses on land tenure as an alternative pathway towards enhancing security of access and tenure in the sub-Saharan African context. Central to the debates are issues concerning the relevance of customary land tenure arrangements and appropriate pathways to successfully engineer the process of harmonization toward improved tenure security whilst preserving of the communitarian principles of local tenure systems. Using two case studies in rural Ghana, this study investigated the prevailing land tenure arrangements, practices and socio-political dynamics that underpin them, highlighting the challenges and opportunities that need to be addressed for the successful adaptation of customary tenure rules and institutions into the statutory system towards improved tenure security and sustainable land management. The research employed a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods including interviews, focus group discussions and questionnaires to collate and analyse data from sampled respondents in Kakum and Ankasa in southern Ghana. The results of the investigation revealed that contrary to the mainstream view that customary tenure arrangements are incapable of providing tenure security in the face on ongoing transformations, the perceived tenure security of respondents was generally high in the study areas. This notwithstanding, it was observed that the emerging patterns of access and control (occasioned by increasing land scarcity and commodification) have resulted in social differentiation and inequalities in land access and distribution amongst the poor and vulnerable members of the landholding groups including women and the youth. The research also showed that aside from tenure security, other important contextual factors including access to credit, modernised agricultural inputs and targeted extension service support significantly influence households' investment decisions regarding adoption of sustainable land management practices. These findings have far-reaching implications for current land tenure interventions aimed at harmonising customary and statutory tenure structures for improved tenure security and sustainable land management. Results of the investigation were used to develop a three-phase incremental framework on formalisation of customary land rights which could serve as bespoke framework to guide the design of land tenure intervention strategies and implementation towards addressing local tenure insecurity in the specific context of the study areas and sub-Saharan Africa generally. The major conclusion of the research is that balancing the market efficiency and social equity considerations is necessary and should be pursued under the ongoing land tenure reforms for inclusive and equitable outcomes at the local level. This derives from the fact that the existing tenurial challenges are complex and context-specific, equally requiring well-balanced and nuanced solutions to effectively address them.

Abstract:

The objectives of this study are threefold: 1. to provide an understanding of the need for rural land use planning; 2. to describe and compare British Columbia's, Alberta's, Ontario's and Saskatchewan's current system for rural land use planning; and 3. if applicable, suggest improvements to B.C's rural planning process as a result of the research conducted. A historical review of the need for rural planning and land use controls has been conducted in conjunction with research into present day trends. In addition, regional district officials from around the province were contacted in order to obtain their views on rural planning in B.C. This research establishes the need for rural planning, but raises questions about the public's perception of the planning process. To obtain information on alternative planning processes, research is conducted on rural planning in Alberta, Ontario, and Saskatchewan. This information is then evaluated through a comparative analysis with the planning process used prior to Bill 62 and the new Rural Land Use Bylaw. The evaluation concludes that the Rural Land Use Bylaw is preferred over the pre-Bill 62 planning legislation. Incorporating what has been learned in previous chapters, this study concludes by presenting suggestions for amending the existing legislation in order to further simplify the planning process. Additional areas for new research are also detailed in order that planners can strive for a more flexible and responsive planning process to serve the rural public.

Abstract:

Summary This chapter brings to a conclusion the main issues that have been raised in the book and provides some ideas on the type of policies that are needed to enhance land-based livelihoods in the Eastern Cape Province and possibly elsewhere in South Africa. In our opinion the key objective of agrarian policy should be the facilitation of a process that can be labelled as repeasantisation (chapter 1). The empirical material in this book shows that there are still remnants of a peasantry in both villages, albeit few and limited in extent. By examining these we simultaneously explored what constitutes the agrarian in contemporary rural villages such as Guquka and Koloni. The evidence presented indicates a long process of retreat of the agrarian in the rural central Eastern Cape province. Critical examination of past and contemporary interventions in these rural areas, such as betterment planning and land and agrarian reform initiatives, raises questions about the role of expert knowledge in rural and agrarian development in South Africa. There are elements of continuity in the approach being used, leading to the conclusion that alternative expert curricula in agriculture and rural development are needed.

Abstract:

This thesis examines rural development processes, and in particular the impact over time of infrastructure investment on locational value in a farming community in northern Victoria, Australia. Correlation between infrastructure investment and land values was found to change over time, with the full cost of infrastructure provision not reflected in increased land values. Its impact depended on the type of infrastructure, and was linked to technological changes in agricultural production that led to different demands. The study also revealed the complexity of land ownership and use during the development of typical northern Victorian farmland, and the patterns of land value that emerged. As an historical study of land development it provides a deeper understanding of rural valuation methodology and sales analysis. It also contributes to the theory of land development, and in particular rural land-use and value.

Full text

Abstract:

Increasingly, information on rural land is needed by land owners, realtors, investors, appraisers, government officials, and researchers to make effective economic and policy decisions involving land. One source of information that could meet this demand is local real property tax records. These records continuously provide parcel data relating to value, use, ownership, location, size, and taxes. These records also provide data on transfers of rural land, such as sales price, previous ownership, date of transfer, and type of transfer. Transfer data, in particular, may be useful at meeting data needs because sales prices are generated strictly from market interaction and because rural transfers represent only two to four percent of all rural parcels, thus providing a small, efficient sample to rely upon. Transfer data have often been used in land market analyses, particularly for local land markets. However, questions have arisen as to the representativeness of parcels sold of all parcels. The purpose of this study is to determine whether transfers of rural land are representative of all rural land parcels in terms of value and several value-producing characteristics. To accomplish this, an economic model is developed to explain the variations in the assessed per acre value of rural land in three Virginia counties. This model is then transformed into a statistical model that examines a data set composed of all rural land parcels and a data set composed of bona fide transfers occurring in 1983. The regression results of the two data sets are statistically compared. In addition, comparisons of the two data sets are also made on the basis of mean assessed land value per acre, per acre assessed land value distribution, and parcel size distribution. The results of these comparisons indicate that bona fide transfers of rural land are not representative of all rural parcels in terms of value and value-producing characteristics.

Abstract:

The thesis develops a framework and system for integrating Strategic Environmental Assessment [SEA] into Malaysian land use planning, for the purposes of achieving sustainable development. The emphasis is upon procedural and resource aspects of SEA rather than on methodologies. The research includes review and analysis of international and Malaysian published literature, government documents, case study analyses, a postal questionnaire survey and interviews. The development of the proposals is based on the identification of philosophies, principles and links between three main concepts, namely sustainable development, land use planning and Strategic Environmental Assessment. Examples of approaches and experiences of SEA from the United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada and elsewhere are analysed and evaluated. These are assessed against Malaysian national planning and land use planning systems and frameworks, and current Malaysian practices in environmental impact assessment. An evaluation of the strengths and shortcomings of the Malaysian systems, procedures, processes and resources is used to justify and form the basis for the proposals. The thesis describes the research framework and methodologies; the basic concepts of sustainable development, land use planning and SEA/ElA; and the Malaysian political, legislative, institutional and planning frameworks. The proposals include an idealised SEA framework within a proposed national integrated planning system for Malaysia; the functions of Malaysian SEA; a proposed structure plan process with SEA; an outline strategy for actions; and subjects for further research.

Abstract:

Land deals are common in resource-rich countries and have increased during the past years. Contributing factors to the augmentation of land investments in agriculture and forestry are known to be climate change, rising global food prices, rising income levels and changing diets. The international debate on the topic points at the fact that these types of investments create not only great opportunities but also risks and challenges to the host countries, which often have high poverty rates. In order for land deals to be beneficial for all involved actors there is a voiced need for information about the performances and processes of large-scale land deals already at early stages. The objective of this study is to identify and understand the complexities at household level in relation to a new land deal and to explain how these complexities might hinder positive impacts on rural development that this land deal can entail. This thesis draws on a field study of one particular new land deal, Rainbow Oil, in Madagascar where the phenomenon has become substantial during the past few years. The material has been collected through semi-structured interviews and observations as part of an ethnographic approach. Interviews have been made with the investor and authorities at multiple levels but mainly with peasants in the concerned villages. The findings of the study have been analyzed using the sustainable livelihoods framework which permits the analysis to be both holistic and people-centered. Results from the study indicate that hopes for rural development due to the land deal of Rainbow Oil are evident but that certain factors in the peasants’ access to livelihood assets seem to hinder them from engaging in the land use change. Concluding remarks from the results of the study demonstrate that the investor might not have recognized the necessary prerequisites for a successful involvement of the local populations. Deficiencies in the communication between the actors seem to have created uncertainties and skepticism that can further impede both the development of the land use change itself and in turn also the possible development of particularly the concerned villages.

Abstract:

The study explored and investigated demand and struggles for land in the communal areas of South Africa with particular reference to Luphaphasi in the former Xhalanga magisterial district, in the Eastern Cape. The study argued that despite arguments about proletarianisation and conversion of rural land users into wage laborers, leading to assumptions that there was less interest in land use by rural people, there is and has always been demand and struggles for land in communal areas such as Xhalanga.

Abstract:

This analysis is based on a situation which has evolved in Electoral Area "G" within the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen located in the south central sector of the Province of British Columbia. The spread of urbanization into this unzoned rural area in the form of a large block subdivision created a land use conflict with existing agricultural uses. The Regional District responded by proposing to zone the entire electoral area with a standard zoning by-law. Rural residents reacted to oppose this idea saying the standard zoning by-law is too stringent. The Regional District eventually spot zoned the property in question which limited the development to that which was initially proposed. While this measure solved the immediate problem, it did little to prevent future land use conflicts. The situation just described highlights the two issues which form the purpose of this study. First, that some form of land use control is necessary in rural areas because existing residents and land users should be protected from possible conflicting or undesirable land uses; and second, an alternative land use control should be developed to replace the standard zoning by-law which residents are so strongly opposed to. To obtain more information on what the main participants in rural land use planning think about the standard zoning by-law; Regional Planners were asked why they felt the implementation of the standard zoning by-law was important; and residents were asked why it should not be implemented? The statements by both groups were analyzed for their validity. Research showed that most of the planners statements were true but that existing provincial land use controls have more of an effect on development than is realized. Analysis of residents statements showed that some are based on rumours and emotions rather than fact. However, regardless of fact the way in which the public perceive a situation is important and must be considered. An investigation of the Development Permit, Flood Plain Zones, Spot Zones, Contract Zones and Conditional Zones as alternatives to the standard zoning by-law revealed their positive and negative aspects along with their suitability for implementation in Electoral Area "G". Incorporating what had been learned in previous chapters, a Rural Maintenance By-law proposes two important differences. First, is a list of prohibited uses rather than the usual permitted uses. A list of prohibited uses is felt to better suit the two zoning district concept being proposed. It also presents a more positive image of a land use regulation to the public. Second, flexibility is built into the concept by way of a conditional zoning technique. In this way, developments will not be restricted by the stringent regulations found in a standard zoning by-law. It will also encourage resident participation in the development process of their area. And finally, it will require the planner to work at the grass roots level with developers and residents to negotiate the best possible development for future generations.

Abstract:

The present study analyses Roman-native interaction from a landscape perspective in a core territory of both Iron Age and Roman Dacia. The study are includes the royal Dacian heartland (the Orastie Mountains) and its surrounding lowlands, and also the hinterlands of Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa and Apulum, the two most important Roman towns in the province. The research considers the nature and distribution of lower-order settlements in the pre-Roman and Roman periods, human impact on the local landscape and the changes which occurred as a result of the Roman occupation. Also, it addresses previous biases of interpretation through re-evaluation of earlier data and consideration of new datasets provided by the interpretation and mapping of recent oblique aerial photographs. New detailed plans of the sites discovered through aerial photography have been integrated within a significant amount of scattered published data (excavation and field walking reports; gazetteers) and relevant information from historical maps. Al the material has been analysed utilising a relational database linked to a GIS. The results provide a complex reconsideration on a more realistic and up-to-date basis of previous theories regarding the native settlement pattern and the impact of Roman colonisation in the chronological and geographical context specified. Also, through the resulting database and GIS, it provides a methodological framework and a customised tool for further analysis of the landscape and of the evolution of the settlement pattern which can be extended throughout the province of Dacia and into the neighbouring areas. Finally, it creates a useful source of analogy or contrast for Empire-wide studies of Romanisation and Roman-native interaction.

Abstract:

Maputo City has a very high population density and sources of domestic energy such as electricity, gas or even kerosene are not yet available for the majority of the population. Demand for wood products is high both in the rural and urban areas for consumption and generation of income. Coupled with agricultural expansion, this raises concerns over the sustainability of use of natural forest resources. Nevertheless, the government has limited financial and human resources to establish plantations which can satisfy the increases in wood demand, especially in the urban areas. The 1991 Reforestation policy attempted to overcome this by adopting as strategy the involvement of the users, especially the rural community, in the replacement of exploited forest resources. However, reported failure in implementation of this strategy has suggested that there is need to elaborate a decision support tool, which would encapsulate the multidisciplinary nature of the problem, at both farm and regional levels. The underlying hypothesis of this research is, therefore, that despite data scarcity and/or unreliability, it is possible to develop a planning framework applying a relatively sophisticated planning tool such as Mathematical Programming. The aim of the thesis is to perform an ex-ante analysis of the impact of the strategy, stressing a bottom-up and integrated planning procedure and including decision makers at the two levels. Both single and multiobjective mathematical programming methods are applied, preceded by the use of Geographical Information Systems in the analysis of the spatial distribution of resources. The results show that by integrating agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry activities and constraints in the farm planning framework, it is possible to assess the individual potential responses to reforestation alternatives. Furthermore, conflicts among national goals are assessed using aggregation techniques. This provides policy makers with information on the opportunity cost that may be associated with changes in government priorities.

Abstract:

Anthropogenic eutrophication of freshwater lakes due to land use change is a growing global problem with economic consequences, such as a reduction in shoreline property value. Managing eutrophication is of utmost importance in Maine, USA due to the large number of inland fresh waterbodies and their economic importance for fisheries, recreation, and real estate. This thesis investigates the relationships between water quality and catchment land use. Agricultural land use is a large driver of excess nutrient export to lakes, including in Maine, and can result in toxic cyanobacterial blooms, decreased water clarity, and fish kills. I developed a statistical relationship to quantitatively link agricultural intensity in the catchment and resultant water quality outcomes in Maine lakes. I observe a strong statistical relationship between water quality and anthropogenic activity in the catchment, as expected. Interestingly, I found that the effects of anthropogenic activity were most closely related to a five-year lag in water quality, which is between 0.8 to 4.71 years longer than the lake residence times. My results suggest that changes in land use may have long-term effects on water quality that last for far longer than would be expected. The analysis presented in this paper is novel for directly linking long term observational agricultural and biological datasets and presents a new way to quantitatively link water quality and anthropogenic intensity in the catchment area.
