Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Settlers of the Midwestern United States brought with them perceptions and attitudes towards natural resources, farming, and land tenure that influenced settlement patterns and the development of rural communities. Additionally, land is a necessity in farming and access to land allows for the reproduction of the social unit, the agrifamily household system, and the spatial and temporal continuity of ethnic communities built on aggregates of these smaller systems. These cultural forms persist in the Sugar Creek Watershed in the forms of community involvement and organization, land tenure and farm enterprise type and succession, and management styles. As such, local social organization and land tenure play important roles in farm management strategies that affect land tenure and adoption of conservation measures. Conservation adoption research and community watershed initiatives are difficult endeavors for which anthropologists have called for the inclusion of ethnographic methods, local indicators, and perspectives from ecological anthropology in the development and implementation of such projects in developing and post-industrial capitalist states. Rural Sociologists recently expressed the need for ethnographic investigations in answering questions related to rural community relationships. In this dissertation research, three research objectives were tested to assess magnitude and intensity of the relationships between these variables in the Sugar Creek Watershed. The first question asks how ethnicity, social relationships, and attitudes toward farming condition contemporary land tenure arrangements. The second question was posed in order to ascertain if ethnicity and level of socio-cultural integration of the farm household can be used as independent variables in understanding relationships among farm size, land use and tenure, and use and preference for conservation. The third research question was posited in order to understand the degree to which farm size, farm succession and inheritance, and enterprise type correlate with land tenure and preferences for conservation as an exploratory analysis of using local conservation preferences and behaviors as measures of "quality of life" in an expansion of Goldschmidt's findings (1978) that relate to farm size and land tenure with quality of life experienced by members of a rural community.
Download or read book Land Stewardship through Watershed Management written by Peter F. Ffolliott and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We must enhance the effectiveness ofland stewardship and management of the world's natural resources to meet a growing global population's need for conservation, sustainable development, and use of land, water, and other natural resources. Ecosystem-based, mul tiple-use land stewardship is necessary when considering the present and future uses ofland, water, and other natural resources on an operationally efficient scale. We need holistically planned and carefully implemented watershed management practices, projects, and pro grams to accommodate the increasing demand for commodities and amenities, clear water, open space, and uncluttered landscapes. An international conference in Tucson, Arizona, from March 13 to 16, 2000, examined these needs and increased people's awareness of the contributions that ecosystem-based, multiple-use watershed management can make to future land stewardship. The conference was sponsored by the School of Renewable Natural Resources, University of Arizona; the College of Agriculture, University of Arizona; the Rocky Mountain Research Station, USDA Forest Service; the Research Center for Conservation of Water Resources and Disaster Pre vention, National Chung-Hsing University, Taiwan; the Department of Forest Resources, University of Minnesota; the Center for Integrated Natural Resources and Agriculture Man agement, University of Minnesota; the Centro de Investigaciones Biologicas del Noreste, Mexico; the International Arid Lands Consortium; the USDA Natural Resources Conserva tion Service; the Bureau of Land Management of the Department of the Interior; the Salt River Project, Phoenix, Arizona; the Southern Arizona Chapter, Southwestern Section of the Society of American Foresters; and IUFRO Working Party 8. 04. 04, Erosion Control by Watershed Management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper seeks to answer a number of basic questions. First of all just what are land tenure rights and water rights? Second, how do the respective regimes compare? Third what linkages, if any, are there between land tenure rights and water rights and, if there are none, does this matter, either in general or as regards specific aspects of the interface? A key objective of the paper is to examine which aspects of the rights interface merit further research. In comparing the two regimes a final subsidiary objective of this paper is to try and identify which areas, if any, in one sector can shed light on areas for future research in the other.
Download or read book Watershed Development in Asia written by John B. Doolette and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Watersheds as hydrologic units comprise combinations of arable and nonarable land and drainage lines and are utilized by permanent and transient populations with varying skills and commitment to long term resource husbandry. The range of issues relevant to watershed management is enormous and includes environmental issues, crop and livestock production, social and cultural concerns, infrastructure planning and entire questions of governance and control. This volume presents the results of a highly selective program of research and consultation. The authors : 1) present a discussion of the major watershed development problems of the Asia region; 2) examine the fundamental building blocks of watershed management projects; 3) demonstrate how benefit-cost analysis techniques can be used to assist in the selection of watershed management technologies; 4) discuss the revegetation of denuded forest land; 5) explore one of the most troublesome subjects in conservation policy - land tenure; and 6) elaborate the connections between planning, monitoring and evaluation of watershed projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collaborative international research on tenure dates back at least to the early 1960s when the Land Tenure Centre was established at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and conducted some studies in collaboration with CGIAR social scientists. CGIAR interest in tenure increased in the early 1990s when natural resource management was strengthened as a component of the CGIAR agenda and the Centers on forests, agroforestry, and water (CIFOR, ICRAF, and IWMI) entered the system. CAPRi began to operate as a systemwide research program on tenure and collective action in the mid-1990s, and became PIM Flagship 5 on governance of natural resources in 2011. From 2021, a renewed research agenda on tenure is essential for advancing the One CGIAR mission of “science and innovation that advance transformation of food, land and water systems in a climate crisis.”
Download or read book Land water Linkages in Rural Watersheds written by and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often assumed that upstream land use practices have important impacts on water resources and affect the downstream users at a watershed scale, Payments by downstream users to upstream users for "environmental services" such as good water quality, less sediments or more regular water flow are widely discussed. However, much controversy exists about the direction and magnitude of such impacts, how they influence the relationships between upstream and down-stream users, and which mechanisms allow for a sharing of resulting benefits and costs by all resource users in a watershed context. To address these issues, the FAO Land and Water Development Division organized the electronic workshop "Land-Water Linkages in Rural Watersheds" from 18 September to 27 October 2000. The present publication contains the proceedings of the workshop and two papers that set the stage for the workshop discussions. The complete workshop documentation, including discussion archive, background papers, and case studies, is included on the CD-ROM that accompanies the document.
