Agriculture in the Malaysian Region
Malaysia's transition from a country dependent on agriculture and mining to an industrialized society is readily apparent, but the process of change remains poorly understood. When R.D. Hill began studying agriculture in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei in the 1960s, he found swiddening, market-gardening, semi-commercial wet-rice cultivation and large scale plantations. Today, Malaysian agriculture has become highly capital-intensive and increasing…
Quality of talent development systems: Results From an International Study
In this study a purpose-built framework for specifying quality criteria – structure, process and outcome – in talent development systems was developed and evaluated in an explorative international study. A standardized survey was conducted with 1020 survey participants from four nations (Australia, China, Germany and the USA) and four sports disciplines (athletics, gymnastics, swimming and volleyball). The overall response rate was 56.4%. The pri…

The Effects of Annual Harvesting on the Subsequent Phytomass and Species Composition of Grassland and Fernland: A Hong Kong Case
Anthropogenic grasslands mixed with fern and shrubland, on scales from metres to kilometres, are widespread in tropical Southeast Asia, and especially in southern China and adjoining regions where harvesting for domestic fuel is a major factor in their maintenance. Baseline surveys in grassland and fernland in 1989–90 and resurveys in 2001 of three 6 × 20 m plots in Wong Chuk Yuen, Hong Kong, showed substantial change in species composition and t…
Stable Isotope and Radiocarbon Analyses of a Black Deposit Associated with Pictographs at Little Lost River Cave, Idaho
Stasis and Change in Forty Years of Southeast Asian Agriculture
Agricultural change in Southeast Asia over the last three decades is reviewed within the context of structural change of the region’s economies. An agricultural typology is outlined and the degree to which agricultural systems have remained static is examined leading to the identification of various kinds and degrees of change amongst the systems – extensification, intensification and disintensification. The paper concludes that while macro‐level…

The Impact of Urbanization on Rural-Urban Linkages in Thailand and Malaysia
Impacts of urbanization upon direct rural-urban linkages are considered, mainly from the viewpoint of the broad processes involved. The more 'industrial' economy of (Peninsular) Malaysia, originating in the nineteenth century, contrasts with the more agrarian economy of Thailand, with the rather different rates of structural transformation of their respective economies and differing patterns of urbanization. (Sabah and Sarawak are mentioned brief…

Occupational and Spatial Mobility in an Overseas Chinese Agricultural Community: The Hakkas of Kudat, Sabah, Malaysia
ManyHakka communities in Southeast Asia were, and some remain, mainly agricultural. This paper, based mainly upon genealogies collected in the field, traces the manner in which a small community, at first almost entirely agricultural, has become occupational ly diversified. Hakkas of Kudat origin, probably in part because of the emphasis on education, especially in English, for both men and women, now have an occupational profile strongly weighte…
Vietnamese Agriculture: Rhetoric and Reality
It is a measure of ignorance that this paper should begin with a caveat. The fragmentary and sometimes contradictory nature of reports emanating from Vietnam makes the commentator's task a difficult one. The problem is not really one of an absolute dearth of information, since various Western organizations, notably the J.oint Publications Research Service in the United States, continue to supply reports, but a problem of the absence of comprehens…
A lesson in defective data
Aspects of Land Development in Vietnam
Land development in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam differs from that in most other parts of Southeast Asia not merely because it is undertaken in the context of a socialist polity but also because much seems to involve rehabilitation of previously cultivated areas, particu larly in the south. Reporters on Vietnam may fail to distinguish between the colonization of virgin lands which entirely lack produc tion infrastructure, and rehabilitation,…

Rice in Malaya. A Study in Historical Geography
Rice is a staple part of the diet of virtually every Malaysian, to the extent that in each of the major languages used in Malaysia, rice means food and food means rice. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Rice in Malaya opens with an examination of the often fragmentary evidence of rice-growing in prehistoric South-East Asia and then considers the great changes that followed the rise of commercial agriculture in the region before and during colon…
