“…We hope to establish a bridge between soil science and social science in order to expand the scope of existing research. In addition, the peri-urban areas are a focus of the government and researchers in the rapid process of industrialization and urbanization in China and global studies [59][60][61][62]. These policy implications are of great significance to the protection of SQ in the region and the sustainability of PUA.…”

The driving mechanism of soil quality (SQ) has important implications for arable land protection, sustainable agricultural development and ecological environment conservation. This study builds a “perception–response” theoretical framework to investigate how farmers’ land use behavior may affect SQ from the temporal and spatial perspectives. Based on soil sampling data, farmer survey data and socioeconomic statistical data collected in a typical peri-urban area of northeast China, geo-statistical analysis and econometric models have been applied to examine the effect of farmers’ land use behavior (FLUB) on SQ. The results show that during 1980–2010, the target of FLUB has been shifted from “grain output maximization” to “grain output and profit maximization” and then to “profit maximization”. The FLUB, including land use pattern, land use degree and land input intensity, also show obvious differences in space. These differences result in distinct impacts on the variation of SQ in time and space. Generally, the soil organic matter (OM) tends to decline, the available nitrogen (AVN) and available phosphorus (ANP) tend to rise, while the available potassium (AVK) increases after an initial decline. Moreover, the further distance from the city center, the greater the spatial variation of SQ in space. These findings are not only helpful from a theoretical and practical significance for policy-makers to improve SQ in the outskirts of metropolitan areas, but also make an important contribution to the sustainable development of peri-urban agriculture (PUA).

“…All countries have different land property rights models, but these can be roughly classified into three (Hoang, 2020; Dadashpoor and Ahani, 2019). The first is the private ownership model, for example, land in the United States as divided into private land, federal land, state government land and Indian reservations.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to analyze the interest conflicts and strategy evolution process of various stakeholders in the process of homestead withdrawal, to reveal which key factors can balance the interests of all parties.Design/methodology/approachThe authors developed an evolutionary game theoretical framework for homestead withdrawal in Yujiang District, Jiangxi Province, China. The authors compared the dynamic process of strategy change in different situations based on system dynamics.FindingsCompared with indirect external factors, direct economic factors, such as increasing compensation standards or increasing fines, are more likely to encourage peasants to withdraw from their homesteads. The dynamic subsidy strategy can increase the probability of peasants withdrawing from their homestead. Additionally, awarding officials with promotions can effectively encourage local governments during the process.Originality/valuePrevious studies have conceptualized farmers' willingness to withdraw from their homestead as a static process, ignoring the underlying dynamism. This paper analyzes the game mechanism among the stakeholders of the homestead withdrawal process from a dynamic perspective, to provide efficient suggestions regarding policymaking for homestead withdrawal.

“…Around the world, land tenure-related conflicts in peri-urban areas are known to arise from three main sources: conflicts of interests between individuals, groups and institutions (55%); conflicts of power -coercive exercise of power and the countervailing grassroots resistance (24%); and legal and normative conflicts, relating to divergent context, procedure, and function of customary and formal land tenure system (21%) (Dadashpoor & Somayeh, 2019). Peri-urban areas can therefore be rightly thought of as 'politicised environments' characterised by both land/resource conflicts and resistance practices (Vinthagen & Johansson, 2013), where judicious interventions could lead to 'new forms of cooperation' (Vij et al, 2018, p. 383).…”

“…In fact, entire land tracts that constitute New Haven neighbourhood, including City Layoutsthe high peripheral income neighbourhood that is virtually engulfing this customary communitywere all specifically transferred from Umuenwene-Iji Nike Village, one of the numerous villages in the Nike Kingdom (Respondents 1,3,5,6,7 & 12). Respondent 12 is an official at the Odezuluigbo (Dadashpoor & Somayeh, 2019). Such conflicts of interests, which are often underlined by unequal power relations and clashes in legal/normative values, are occasioned by divergences between the customary practices (based on tenets of unwritten tenancy codes, 'farm settlement' arrangements, and traditional support system) and statutory tenure/urban law practices (LUA-1978 and formal layout schemes).…”

Urbanisation-induced displacements in peri-urban areas: Clashes between customary tenure and statutory practices in Ugbo-Okonkwo Community in Enugu, Nigeria

et al. 2020

Rapid urbanisation is precipitating wide-ranging and often irreversible changes in cities and at the shifting peri-urban areas around the world. As a significant factor of change in the 21 st Century, urbanisation is irreversibly transforming everything on its path-air, land, water, and ecology, including institutions, customs, and lifestyles. The subject scope of urbanisation research is therefore quite wide and diverse. Yet, urbanisation-induced attritions and substitutions of customary tenure practices, coupled with the associated politics and resistances, remain utterly overlooked. Using a mixed method approach (involving desktop research, remote sensing data and stakeholder interviews), this paper examines the clashes between customary tenure regime and statutory practices dictated by urban laws, and how different stakeholders are appropriating them both to promote and resist displacement or eviction. Amidst growing encroachment pressures on peri-urban communities in Nigerian cities, a new imperative for enhanced tenure security and integrated planning approach are proposed.
