“…This activity takes the form of skills development through farmer groups which are used as pilot groups. Looking at the existing reality, the process of empowering grape farming in Duyu Village is in line with what was expressed by Yang & Loopmans (2023) that community development can be carried out by optimizing the potential of the village. This has been demonstrated through grape farming carried out in Duyu Village by optimizing all existing potential.…”

The natural disaster that occurred in 2018 in Palu City had an impact on the economic condition of the community. Almost all regions felt this impact. One of the areas also affected is Duyu Village. This is one of the reasons for community empowerment through grape farming. The aim of this empowerment is to encourage people to create new jobs after natural disasters which cause a downturn in the community's economy. The method used in the empowerment process starts with mapping, local asset mobilization, monitoring and evaluation. The results of the empowerment carried out in Duyu Village were able to optimize local assets in the village and strengthen the community's economy after experiencing an economic downturn due to natural disasters.

“…On the other hand, during my fieldwork in Pidu, I occupied a unique position as both an outsider and an investigator. This complexity was further heightened by the fact that many RCCCL projects were connected to the tourism industry (Yang & Loopmans, 2023), necessitating a balance between two sub-identities: that of a tourist and a researcher. In my tourist role, I had the opportunity to visit and observe various RCCCL projects without the presence of informants, providing a distinctive perspective on how these projects were designed for public consumption.…”

Insider, outsider or in-between? A researcher’s evolving positionality in conducting studies about Chinese rural land reform in China and Belgium

This essay delves into the impacts of adopting an insider/outsider (in-betweenness) positionality in the context of studying China’s land reform in China and Belgium. Utilising insights gained from my fieldwork experiences and the composition of two articles – one emphasising the economic implications of the reform and the other exploring its theoretical dimensions – I emphasise the significance of the place of knowledge production, particularly my epistemological and methodological training experience in Belgium. This experience has played a pivotal role in shaping my in-betweenness positionality, providing a framework for reflective research framing and presenting my findings. In essence, this essay contends that embracing an in-betweenness positionality is essential for producing research that is not only academically rigorous but also practically relevant, attuned to the complexities of the social issues under investigation.

“…In the process of rural transition, disadvantaged groups such as the poor and old are generally excluded or play a passive role in rural affairs [50]. Farmers could not share the benefits of land appreciation equally because of information asymmetries but lost their ability to be self-sufficient due to land transfer [51]. The development of rural land transfer in China has been rapid, with a survey conducted in 2021 revealing a national rural land transfer rate of 22%.…”

Spatial Patterns and Influencing Factors of Rural Land Commodification at Township Scale: A Case Study in Shijiazhuang City, North China

The rapid spread of capitalism in rural areas has facilitated rural land commodification (RLC). While some scholars have studied RLC, few have analyzed its spatial characteristics. Taking Shijiazhuang city as a study area, this paper applies Moran’s I method and spatial regression models to analyze township-scale RLC patterns and driving factors. The study investigates four common pathways of RLC: production-oriented farmland, tourism-oriented farmland, rural homesteads, and construction land commodification which are predominantly found in urban fringe areas. The distribution of RLC demonstrates positive spatial autocorrelation, characterized by spatial aggregation and polarization. Population, economic level, agriculture, and location conditions are identified as key drivers, and their specific mechanisms vary across development pathways. Future efforts should focus on ensuring balanced and coordinated RLC development in accordance with regional conditions and capacity, while also addressing the implications arising from the coexistence of RLC with rural aging and poverty.
