摘要

这项研究评估了在加纳等发展中国家,城市农民如何在快速城市化过程中应对土地短缺挑战。随着城市地区的土地短缺变得越来越明显,农民们努力在城市空间中找到一个耕种的地方,但城市中农业带来的众多机会仍然激励他们在城市中寻找空闲的土地和开放的空间来耕种。因此,该研究考察了在土地严重稀缺的情况下影响城市农民对农田流动的因素。采用Tobit和普通最小二乘法(OLS)对251名农民的回答进行分析。研究发现,土地所有权类型、土地稀缺挑战和土地规模等土地状况因素与农民流动有关。市场效益水平、蔬菜生产强度和技术水平等农业特征也与农民在城市内的流动性有关。年龄、受教育程度、农民参与程度和婚姻状况等个人特征也发挥了作用。这意味着城市农业的可持续性需要政府有意识地努力将城市农业纳入其空间规划决策,因为城市内有许多农业的机会。

Urbanization, Land Scarcity and Urban Farmers’ Mobility: Evidence from Ghana
This study assessed how urban farmers survive land scarcity challenges in the midst of rapid urbanization in a developing country such as Ghana. As land scarcity becomes more pronounced in urban areas, farmers struggle to find a place to farm within the urban space but the numerous opportunities that come with farming within the city still inspires them to find spare lands and open spaces in the city to farm. Therefore, the study examined the factors that influence urban farmers’ mobility with respect to farmland in the midst of intense land scarcity. Reponses from 251 farmers were analyzed with both Tobit and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). Land situation factors such as land ownership type, land scarcity challenges, and size of land were found to be associated with farmers’ mobility. Farm characteristics such as level of market benefits, intensity of vegetable production, and level of technology were also associated with farmers’ mobility within the city. Personal characteristics such as age, level of education, level of farmer engagement, and marital status also played a role. This implies urban farming sustainability requires conscious government efforts to include urban agriculture in its spatial planning decisions since there are numerous opportunities for farming within the city.
