Rural Urban Linkages, Fair Trade and Poverty in Rural Urban Fringe

1. Introduction Rural urban linkages in the present increasingly intertwined. This is due to mutual needs of rural-urban, expansion of rural-urban road network, increasing the means of transport, and supported the advancement of rural communities. Urban rural linkages visible manifestation of the intensity of the movement of people, money and goods (MUB) from rural to urban areas or vice versa. Movement of people in the form of activity the way to work, family visits, visits to social activities, recreation, as well as for shopping trips. The movement of goods in the form of transfer of agricultural products, industrial products and other goods. While the movement of money, among others, in the form of investments from residents of the town to the village, and the results of this investment will flow back into the city. MUB movement is reciprocated. Rural urban linkages birth of a new development for the village and for the city. This is caused by the difference in the potential of the rural and urban areas, and the common interest. Interactions also occur only the village to the city but also in the village itself between regions within the village (Bintarto, 1989). There are differences between the shape and intensity of linkages with the urban rural interaction in the village. The form of rural urban linkages among others, is the movement of goods from the countryside to the city or vice versa as the transfer of agricultural products, industrial products and mining products, the movement of ideas and information, especially from cities to villages, the movement of people in the form of recreation, urbanization, population mobility both in nature circulation or commutation. While the existence of interactions inside the village, actually not too much different from the rural urban linkages, only in a smaller scale. But the impact caused by rural urban linkages will remain the same with the interaction in the village. The following Figure 1 illustration rural urban linkages. Figure 1 illustrates that the village and the town has a role that is equally important, especially in the flow of people, money and goods, the regional economic development. If the role of villages and cities can work well, the corresponding relationships (economic) between urban and rural areas can be achieved. The importance of rural urban linkage is in the network area to create sustainable economic growth. Movement MUB encourage the activity flow of information, ideas, knowledge and technology from urban to rural, and its effects will open the remoteness of the village that has been happening. MUB movement, also will increase the chance to make the village community, accelerate rural economic development, so as to reduce the rural-urban urbanization and the subsequent impact is to reduce the number and level of poverty. Reduction of rural-urban urbanization and the number of poor people will be faster successful when rural-urban relations, particularly economic relations, based on fair trade (Marike De Pena, 2015) that trading is transparent, open, and do not marginalize the lives of the villagers. MUB movement and building trades 'fair' will be more quickly realized when focused on a village Rural Urban Fringe (RUF). It is based on that RUF is located between the city and the village, where residents have agricultural and non agricultural jobs. Stretching the economy in rural RUF with transparent trading will lead to opportunities sought in agricultural and non agricultural sector more open wide, and is expected to reduce poverty in the RUF and other villages around the zone RUF. There are two issues that will be examined: (a) analyze the relationship between rural urban linkages and poverty, and (b) to analyze the development of fair trade in the RUF areas. 2. Study of Literature Rural Urban Linkages Rural urban linkages is defined as the relationship of social structure, economy, culture, and politics among individuals and groups that exist in the environment and rural areas (Lesetedi in Ndabeni, 2013). …

Social Structure and Early Childhood Learning Enhancement

This is a qualitative research study using participatory action research. The study aims to: (1) study the roles of social institutions involved with early childhood learning enhancement; (2) study the relationship of social structure and development of the learning process; (3) promote learning guidelines in early childhood that are in accord with social structure. The sample group of 78 persons consisted of organizational representatives and parents. The research findings revealed that most people in the community engaged in agriculture but had an urban way of life; they often moved around, hardly lived together as a family, were Roman Catholic, had children who had learned to become good Christians through religious rituals, had schools than supported learning at kindergarten level, had storytelling and story reading activities, and had a sub-district health promotion hospital. The tasks in enhancing learning were to educate, promote playing activities, tell stories and read books to children in families and organizations, and hold forums to enhance learning in families. Learning enhancement in families had two characteristics: (1) learning enhancement according to way of life; and (2) learning enhancement according to way of life together with supplementary activities. With regard to the relationship with social structure, it was found that the organizations worked in accordance with their main tasks, that work integration was rare, and that organizations and parents only related through roles and duties. After learning enhancement was carried out, it was found that parents and related organizations became alert, understood their roles and adjusted these to facilitate child learning. They continuously participated in the child learning enhancement process, and relationships in families was improved.

Conflict and the Organization-in-the-Making: A Relational View of Perspective-taking, Practice, Social Reproduction and Change

Building on the concept of organizations as conflictual systems characterized by the production of negotiated order, this paper considers the role of everyday conflict within organizations. Conflict is commonly viewed as disruptive to social and organizational order. In contrast, the practice theories of Anthony Giddens, Pierre Bourdieu, and others indicate the dynamic mechanisms by which social systems reproduce order. These mechanisms involve the recursive relationship of social structure and social process through the development of habituated practice, but they have been challenged as providing little explanation for social change. In response, the argument made here is that conflict is a necessary element to explain human agency and changes in practices in organizational contexts. This argument is explored through examination of a case of multi-party conflict in a bookstore cooperative. In this case conflict is seen as stemming from the relational clash of differing perspectives, reflecting the multiple perspectives taken toward any set of organizational events. The interaction of perspectives stimulates the production of mutations in knowledge and practice, with the organization always in-the-making. Some terms of a conflict vocabulary - re-minding, re-membering, and re-acting - are proposed as one means to communicate the conflict's functionality in contemporary, pluralistic organizations.

Social Structure and Personality under Conditions of Radical Social Change: A Comparative Analysis of Poland and Ukraine

Does the relationship between social structure and personality during times of apparent social stability obtain as well under conditions of radical social change ? There are good reasons to think that it might not. To find out, the authors conducted surveys in Poland and Ukraine during 1992-1993, with dramatic results. In those respects in which the socialist Poland of 1978 had shown a pattern of relationships similar to that of the capitalist United States and Japan (notably, the relationship of social structure to self-directedness of orientation), the pattern remains the same; but where socialist Poland in 1978 had differed from the United States and Japan (notably, in the relationship of social structure to a sense of distress), Poland now fully exemplifies the capitalist pattern. Ukraine seems to be following a similar trajectory, albeit at a slower pace

A Disorderly People? Urban Order in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

Historians have characterized American cities as violent, noisy, chaotic, and disorderly. 1 This description accords well with the writings of contemporaries who loved the city, like Walt Whitman who saw it as disorderly or, in his phrase, brawling, lusty. Stephen Crane seconded this image in Maggie, with his portrayal of children fighting, adults fighting, and a general air of brutal self-expression. And Mark Twain lent his support to this image by commenting in Innocents Abroad on the quiet and civility of European cities. The order of the Paris train depot amazed him: There was no frantic crowding and jostling, no shouting and swearing, and no swaggering intrusion of services by rowdy hackmen.2 Examples of contemporary perceptions of public disorder in American cities could be expanded considerably, but to do so would do more to enlarge our knowledge of urban observers than to deepen our understanding of public disorder. The most common forms of criminal behavior can serve as a conceptual device with which to examine the relationship of social structure and cultural

Art styles, social stratification, and cognition: an analysis of Greek vase painting1

In a diachronic study of the relationship between social stratification and formal design elements on painted vases in ancient Greece it was found that during periods of greater social stratification in the Greek city‐state of Athens there was comparatively more (1) complexity of style, (2) utilization of space, and (3) enclosure of figures in Attic painted pottery than during periods of less stratification. These results support Fischer's (1961) hypotheses concerning the relationship of social structure to art style and the value of comparative historical methods for investigating cross‐cultural hypotheses.
