This article assesses factors that determined the decision of smallholder vegetable producers to participate in vegetable-based agribusiness and analyses the impact of agribusiness participation and other determinants on the economic returns. Structural equation modelling was employed to show a proposed model of cumulative causation theory. Data were compiled from a quantitative survey of 357 selected farm households located in major vegetable-producing areas of Bali and Java, Indonesia. Results show that human capital and household endowment motivated farmers to participate in vegetable-based agribusiness. Women's participation significantly contributed to agribusiness participation and agribusiness participation led to income generation. Opportunities exist to expand vegetable-based agribusiness and increase farmers’ income by providing adequate access to transportation infrastructure, an advantageous agribusiness environment, and investing in human capital through training and extension services.","PeriodicalId":45685,"journal":{"name":"Rural Society","volume":"29 1","pages":"116 - 133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10371656.2020.1787621","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44464159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interviews were conducted in 2017–2018 and the data were subjected to narrative analysis. Theoretically, the research adopts a feminist approach to space and risk, viewing both as simultaneously material and fluid, intersecting with categories such as gender, class, and centre-periphery. The longer distance to maternity care was found to engender other distances, such as social and political, which were associated with particular risks and power structures. In particular, interviewees referred to a perceived distance from staff at the new hospital that threatened to turn labour into an unsafe experience, and a perceived distance from political decision-making, prompting feelings of unworthiness and distrust. In different ways, navigating these risks reproduced gender roles, and the parents’ social position – including gender, marital status, economic, and social resources – shaped how they navigated the new situation.","PeriodicalId":45685,"journal":{"name":"Rural Society","volume":"29 1","pages":"16 - 29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10371656.2020.1751927","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45164866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantitative data collected was analysed descriptively while the qualitative information was analysed using a thematic approach. Findings revealed indigenous people used the growth of local plants species, chirping of crickets, wind direction, and millipedes’ movement as indicators to detect an approaching season or sudden variation of climate, while the leaves of the “populs” plant and insect chirping were indicators determining excessive heat.

Being physically and culturally different from the predominant Anglo-Saxon community, how African migrants construct their sense of belonging in regional areas are still unknown. This article explores South Sudanese migrants’ experience in conceptualising their sense of belonging in Castlemaine, Victoria. Using focus group discussions with 42 participants, it shows that despite the welcoming atmosphere, South Sudanese migrants are attracted to cities and feel at home. The article argues that cities make strangers un-noticed and make them feel at “home” using theoretical concepts of “the stranger” and “power”. Research findings show how more diverse environments encourage negotiating difference and ease the power imbalance among different groups. The easy commuting distance of Castlemaine to Melbourne and its suburbs is discussed as a factor of reducing the potential ability in constructing a sense of belonging with the local community.","PeriodicalId":45685,"journal":{"name":"Rural Society","volume":"29 1","pages":"44 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10371656.2020.1753329","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46643367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the results of a national household survey, this article tests the extent to which the propensity for internal migration varies between city and metropolitan populations. A series of experiments were used to evaluate the relative importance of factors relevant to relocation or commuting to different types of regional centres, as well as the salary increases required. Only about five percent of the workforce were identified as highly mobile, while more than half of the workforce were not prepared to move no matter what increase in salary is offered. Large salary increases would be required to encourage the “average” employee to move to regional areas, especially from metropolitan locations, with larger salary increases required for long-distance commuting.","PeriodicalId":45685,"journal":{"name":"Rural Society","volume":"29 1","pages":"1 - 15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10371656.2020.1761599","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48892053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings demonstrate the experiences of intra-EU lifestyle expat-preneurs are absent from currently dominating theoretical, as well as political, discourses on migration and integration.
