The Social Economy - Key Element of Sustainable Environmental and Societal Development in Asia

Abstract: Cooperatives, associations, partnerships, non-profit organizations (NPOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are core elements of the Social Economy. Social Economy as an economic and societal development approach could support the sustainable rural and environmental management in South East Asian countries. Examples for Social Economy enterprises are microlending institutions, fishing and rice cooperatives in Vietnam and Thailand, pepper and pottery associations in Cambodia or rural and small scale industry commodities and service associations. The Social Economy needs just and equal distribution of property, but also innovative property tax collection models in order to guarantee sustainable financial support by the governments. The implementation faces several challenges. Existing private property or leasehold rights and large agricultural investment funds could lead to the exclusion of small and medium landowners, family- based farmers and to a lack of institutional support from higher political levels. A system combining different forms of public and private property and good land governance may be the means to bridge the gap between the private right to acquire natural resources and the needs of the Social Economy. The division of agricultural land, natural commodities and the means of production in a comprehensive and equal way between the people is of fundamental importance for the Asian states.

Population growth and the enclosure movement in Ankole, Uganda.

Abstract: There is a rush for people to fence their land in West and East Ankole Uganda and fenced fields now represent close to 15% of the total land area and 30% of the area that is used for grazing. Since fencing is allowed only after a person is in possession of a valid land title the acceptance of this innovation means the acceptance of noncustomary tenurial arrangements in the area. This paper contends that the primary drive of the fencing movement is insecurity about land. This insecurity is the outcome of the rapid increase of both the human and livestock population of the area. Discussion covers the land and the people contemporary land tenure systems the enclosure movement land pressure and the rise of modern pastoralism. The 2 districts of West and East Ankole comprise a total land area of 16182 km; roughly 1000 km of this is classified as forest and game reserve. In general a typical landholding of an individual in West Ankole is about 2 hectares and is roughly equally divided between perennial and annual crops. Land in Ankole is either privately held or is vested in the Public Land Commission. Privately held land falls into 2 major categories: land can be surveyed registered and then granted as either freehold or leasehold. Freehold land in Ankole is of 3 main types: grants or freehold land can be made out to each of the religious sects in the area; grants of freehold land can be made to individuals out of what is commonly referred to as "Mailo" land; privately held land under lease from the Uganda Public Land Commission or prior to independence from the British Crown. The bulk of Ankole land is held under what is commonly referred to as customary tenure. Under this arrangement all the land is vested in the Uganda Public Land Commission which acts as an umbrella under whose protection land is freely used as the customs of the Banyankore stipulate. Over the past decade Ankole has experienced a marked increase in its human population. The population increased from 530000 in 1959 to more than 1 million in 1974. Migration as well as natural increase has been a significant factor. The rapid increase of population in Ankole has resulted in considerable densities in several localities. Due to increases both in the human and livestock populations incidents of land pressure in the area have become quite common. Several people feel insecure about land. Individuals who have ample land around them are fencing it since this is the way that fields can go fallow and pasturage ensured. In most instances fencing is being carried out on land where signs of effective ownership do not exist. There is also a realization that through segregated grazing that better quality animals can be obtained.
