Alternativas de desarrollo rural y formas de organización social. Fase IV: El campo del desarrollo rural y los conflictos por la tierra en la frontera agraria de Misiones. 16H161

Se apunta a producir conocimientos básicos sobre las condiciones de reproducción de los pequeños productores familiares en la frontera agraria de Misiones, una de las áreas de mayor pobreza de la Argentina. El objetivo general es analizar el campo del desarrollo rural y los conflictos actuales por la tenencia de la tierra en la etapa de cierre de la frontera agraria, identificando los actores intervinientes (agencias estatales, ONGs, pequeños productores y terratenientes) y los ejes que lo estructuran. Se estudiarán los procesos actuales de ocupación de tierras fiscales y privadas y las diversas formas de explotación, especialmente con relación a la creación de reservas ambientales (corredor verde, y biosfera Yabotí). Se describirá la dinámica de la explotación familiar en conexión con sus prácticas reproductivas y los modos en que se expresan las obligaciones domésticas en el contexto actual de restricción del acceso a la tierra. Se analizarán los estilos de intervención, las tecnologías intelectuales y los modos de comunicación de las diferentes agencias de desarrollo —estatales y nogubernamentales— y de los grupos ecologistas, así como la capacidad de agencia de los pequeños agricultores, atendiendo a sus acciones organizativas (asociaciones, ferias francas, grupos de crédito, etc.).

Para ello se plantea los siguientes objetivos: -Analizar el aporte que realiza el Programa Asociativismo Rural en la construcción de capital social de los grupos involucrados. -¿Cómo contribuyen las estrategias de trabajo y vinculación del Programa, en la construcción de capital social de los grupos involucrados para mejorar sus condiciones de vida? -Caracterizar el contexto y el campo en el cual emerge el Programa Asociativismo Rural, las estrategias de trabajo implementadas y los resultados del mismo. -¿Cuál es el contexto en el cual emerge este programa? ¿Cuáles son los agentes intervinientes en el mismo? ¿Cuál es el enfoque de desarrollo que plantea dicho programa? ¿Cuáles son las estrategias de vinculación implementadas por el Municipio con los agentes del territorio? ¿Cuáles fueron los resultados obtenidos de estas estrategias? -Caracterizar las redes de intercambio entre el Municipio y los grupos involucrados en dicho programa. -¿Cómo fueron creándose los vínculos entre el equipo técnico del Municipio y los grupos involucrados en el programa? ¿Qué intercambios se generaron entre los mismos? ¿Cómo se dio esto mismo hacia dentro de los grupos? -Analizar y comprender cómo los agentes hacen uso de sus capitales a través del Programa y qué percepciones tienen de la movilización de los mismos. -¿Cómo los grupos involucrados en el Programa han logrado, a través de éste, movilizar sus capitales para mejorar su posición dentro del campo y, con ello, mejorar sus condiciones de vida? ¿Cómo perciben los actores esta movilización de estos capitales?

Infrastructure (Rural Road) Development and Poverty Alleviation in Lao PDR

Rural road in Lao PDR defined as connecting road from village to main road, where it will lead them to market and access to other economic and social service facilities. However, due to mostly rural people accustom with subsistence farming, connecting road seems less important for rural people as their main farming produce is for own consumption rather than markets. After the introduction and implementation of New Economic Mechanism (NEM) since 1986, many rural villages have gradually developed and integrated into market system where people have significantly changed their livelihood with a better system. This progress has significantly contributed in improving income earning of people, better living standard and reduce poverty. The paper aims to illustrate the significant of rural road as connecting road from village to markets or a market access approach of farm produces. It also demonstrates through which approach, rural farmers/people could improve their income earning, develop their farming system, living standard and reduce poverty.

The promotion and disruption of community service delivery systems

In this paper, we report data drawn from a larger project on the functioning of the Queensland community service delivery system, particularly that providing services to people with disabilities. Our reasoning for focusing at this level is that, from the service user's perspective, support is derived from the service delivery system, not just individual service providers. Defining the service delivery system as formal services and informal support networks, we undertook interviews and focus groups with service providers in six areas in Queensland: inner urban, outer urban, rural and remote. The period on which we report is one in which considerable reform activity had been undertaken by funding bodies of the Commonwealth and State governments. We report on those factors we identified which promote the integrated functioning of the service delivery system, as well as those factors that disrupt it. We conclude with a brief evaluative analysis of the current status of the system.

Gestão Social em Empreendimentos Econômicos Solidários: uma abordagem no Oeste Potiguar

The central research question was to search for data to ratify the theory and discourse of the so-called practitioners of economic solidarity, by defending the substantive rationality should guide the principles of economic solidary, designing the space economy incidental and not the primacy of relations in determining social as well, reflecting the predominance of dimensions of social management in administrative practices of ESS's. For both analyzed the theoretical dimensions of social management - sociopolitical, economic, organizational and environmental - manifested in organizational practices supportive of economic organization Potiguar West. For the success of the research realized the triangulation involving a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches. At first the research will use a quantitative approach, from the cluster analysis, to verify the behavior of the sample chosen for this study. In the second stage of the qualitative study was carried out focus group technique (FLICK, 2002) for further analysis of the dimensions of social management on organizational practices supportive of economic organization, related to the principles of Solidary Economy, established in a quantitative approach. In quantitative analysis, the socio-political dimension, it was clear that the more equity instruments of internal and external, from the purposeful living in public spaces, the best monetary results. Another point worth stressing concerns the economic dimension, with the practice reciprocity prevailing in market. Thus, the qualitative approach was possible to understand the processes of exchange of product or service. Rural enterprises surveyed in the allocation of the agro-ecological products have the following scale of priority, sequentially: self-consumption (domestic), market and exchange. The research leads to the fact that training and practices that enhance the socio-political dimension (knowledge, empowerment, sense of belonging) become the guiding principle for the strengthening of the social management in the context of other dimensions, leading to gains sociopolitical, economic, organizational and environmental. Despite the weaknesses found in the organizational dimension and environment, both in a quantitative as in qualitative, we determined that the practices of ESS's Potiguar West incorporate predominantly elements of social management and economic solidarity, with a preponderance of substantive rationality in the primacy of the instrumental. Finally, research has brought information that the participants of the ESS's do not give the money economy primacy in determining social relations, which in turn leads to the confirmation that, in practice the solidarity economy, prevailing the dominance of substantive rationality, as a guide for organizational practices

Rural activity spaces and transport disadvantage : qualitative analysis of quantitative models integrating time and space

Current knowledge about the relationship between transport disadvantage and activity space size is limited to urban areas, and as a result, very little is known to date about this link in a rural context. In addition, although research has identified transport disadvantaged groups based on their size of activity spaces, these studies have, however, not empirically explained such differences and the result is often a poor identification of the problems facing disadvantaged groups. Research has shown that transport disadvantage varies over time. The static nature of analysis using the activity space concept in previous research studies has lacked the ability to identify transport disadvantage in time. Activity space is a dynamic concept; and therefore possesses a great potential in capturing temporal variations in behaviour and access opportunities. This research derives measures of the size and fullness of activity spaces for 157 individuals for weekdays, weekends, and for a week using weekly activity-travel diary data from three case study areas located in rural Northern Ireland. Four focus groups were also conducted in order to triangulate the quantitative findings and to explain the differences between different socio-spatial groups. The findings of this research show that despite having a smaller sized activity space, individuals were not disadvantaged because they were able to access their required activities locally. Car-ownership was found to be an important life line in rural areas. Temporal disaggregation of the data reveals that this is true only on weekends due to a lack of public transport services. In addition, despite activity spaces being at a similar size, the fullness of activity spaces of low-income individuals was found to be significantly lower compared to their high-income counterparts. Focus group data shows that financial constraint, poor connections both between public transport services and between transport routes and opportunities forced individuals to participate in activities located along the main transport corridors.

Gender, emotions and fly-in fly-out work

This paper explores the emotional life of fly‑in fly‑out (FIFO) workers and their families, through an analysis of more than 500 postings made on an online chat forum for mining families. Building on literature on fly‑in fly‑out workers and understandings of emotions as socially constructed, analysis shows how posters to the forum, typically women whose male partners are FIFO workers, construct gendered emotional identities for their partners (sometimes referred to as 'Mr Miner'), and for themselves, as 'mining women', 'mining widows' or the 'mining missus'. Inherent in the creation of gendered emotional subject positions is the process of women undertaking emotion work on and behalf of themselves, their male partners and their children. The findings demonstrate the overarching normative dimensions of women's emotional self‑transformations in the service of their mining partners' careers and the attendant reproduction of everyday patriarchal relations in the private lives of mining families.
