“…The developmental wave by AEP has brought significant shifts in land use and ownership patterns which manifest in two distinct manners: The first is the increasing prevalence of individual land ownership, driven by the belief in privatisation for profit maximisation although the land system in Nagaland is distinct, emphasising ‘communitarian ownership’. According to Article 371(A) of the Indian Constitution, land can be sold and purchased among villagers but not by non-tribals (Pandey et al, 2019). This arrangement has historically safeguarded communal ownership and ensured access to forest and land resources, which the Konyak Nagas deeply value.…”

This article examines the potential impact of India’s Act East Policy on the food systems of the Konyak Nagas, an indigenous community in Nagaland. The article studies how the traditional knowledge of the Konyak Nagas about the land, labour and ecology has influenced their food culture. The communal landholdings, shifting cultivation, natural preservation of food items, manual labour in agricultural lands and chemical-free fertilisation process have so far kept the Konyaks self-sufficient in terms of requirement of food, and kept the market forces at bay. Emphasising the significance of food security in the changing global scenario in the post-pandemic period and considering the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, the article explores how Act East Policy’s capitalistic rationalisation of resources may significantly affect their sustainable means of subsistence and appropriate their farms and platters, which are an integral element of the cultural fabric of the community.

“…This study shows that as more and more alternative livelihoods were introduced, the probability of continuation of shifting cultivation decreased by 36 per cent. It was also cited as the second most significant reasons for attachment to shifting cultivation in the Eastern Himalayas (Pandey et al, 2020). This revealed that the provision of alternative employment and income opportunities reduced willingness of the farmers to continue shifting cultivation and consequently the pressure at the forest frontier.…”

“…Furthermore, most jhum farmers have been attached to shifting cultivation due to their desire to increase social bonding and continue to practice the ways of their ancestors (Rasul et al, 2004;Pandey et al, 2020). As jhum agriculture was extensively practiced, this created more space for a farmer to adopt slash and burn as farmers who diversified into settled agricultural systems did not discontinue shifting cultivation but rather took up additional livelihood activities like growing of horticultural crops, rearing of livestock and other non-agricultural activities.…”

In the state of Meghalaya, shifting cultivation is still prevalent in the hilly regions. Although, several policies were framed to wean farmers from the practice to adopt sedentary agricultural practices, the transition was slow. Based on data obtained from 250 farmers, the paper examines the structural base of cultivators and the factors associated with the continuing practice of shifting cultivation. Probit regression model was employed to analyse the effect of different factors that influence farmers' decision to continue slash and burn agriculture Overall, the paper concludes that there were slight differences in the socio-economic characteristics between the two groups of farmers. Notwithstanding the category of households, majority of the respondents were engaged in agriculture and were dependent on this sector to make their ends meet. The results of the probit estimation showed that age and lack of alternative livelihood had significant positive influence on continuation of shifting cultivation while family size, annual per capita income, Government incentives and access to market had negative significant influence. Hence, it reaffirms the role of Government in weaning-off the farmers from shifting cultivation. Agroforestry, forest gardens and home gardens could be considered as promising ventures accompanied with capacity building and development of skills regarding better farming practices and value addition among the community. However, to stand the test of time, policy makers need to make arrangements for survival of the dual economy consisting of traditional jhum farming with settled agriculture in the short term while allowing the transition between the systems organically over time providing the space to jhum cultivation under natural farming will prove a better option.

Perbedaan perilaku dan karakter mahasiswa arsitektur generasi Z dengan generasi sebelumnya menyebabkan perubahan preferensi mengenai tempat untuk mengerjakan tugas. Ruang studio arsitektur dianggap tidak sesuai dengan preferensi dari mahasiswa arsitektur generasi Z akibat dari ketidakpuasan terhadap pemenuhan kebutuhan oleh ruang studio arsitektur tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari tahu aspek yang mempengaruhi keinginan mahasiswa arsitektur untuk mengerjakan tugas di ruang studio arsitektur, dan apa kekurangan yang dimiliki ruang studio berdasarkan preferensi pengguna. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan grounded theory. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode snowball sampling, dengan analisis opencoding dan distribusi. Hasil analisis menunjukkan aspek-aspek yang menjadi kekurangan maupun kelebihan dari ruang studio. Aspek tersebut kemudian diurutkan berdasarkan tingkat kepentingan yang disimpulkan berdasarkan jumlah frekuensi distribusi. Urutan aspek-aspek tersebut berdasarkan tingkat kepentingannya adalah fasilitas, kebersihan, kerapihan, dan perawatan, kenyamanan termal, koneksi, kelapangan, interaksi, teman, kenyamanan visual, suasana, keamanan dan teritori, produktivitas, serta aksesibilitas. Hasil penelitian mengungkap aspek-aspek penting yang perlu diperhatikan dan dijadikan pertimbangan agar ruang studio dapat beradaptasi untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna yang telah berubah. Dengan temuan ini, pertimbangan dalam mendesain ruang studio diharapkan dapat diurutkan berdasarkan tingkat kepentingan tersebut.
