Issues in institutionalizing on-farm client. Oriented research : a review of experiences from nine national agricultural research systems

Issues in institutionalizing on-farm client. Oriented research : a review of experiences from nine national agricultural research systems
This paper reviews the experiences of nine national agricultural research systems which have at least five years experience in building on-farm research capacity. Three critical areas of institutionalization are analyzed : integrating on-farm
and experiment station research| involving resource-poor farmers in the research process| and developing interdisciplinary research with a systems perspective. - (l'A.).

Wind hazard in rural Poland (1975-1986)

The subject of the present paper is the damage caused by severe winds in Poland in 1975-86. Since 1985 individual farmers have been required to pay a natural disaster insurance for buildings, movables crops and livestock. Therefore, the damage
discussed here relates to rural regions where the losses are 10 times higher than in towns (weaker buildings, scattered layout).

. Long-term adoption depends on building community capabilities that permit farmers to experiment and innovate. The results of COSECHA's field studies on farmer productivity and technological adoption are discussed. - (SLD)
Paper focuses on reasons for the non-adoption, at least over the long run, of soil conservation technologies by local farmers. Governments are criticized for promoting expensive structures aimed at soil retention rather than at vegetative cover

it is particularly developed. Because of the purchase of lands and because of the various consequences of their buildings, motorways deeply disturb the farm plots and the economy of the regions they go through. The study of the measures adopted to bring solutions
The motorway network is particulary dense in the Northern region of France. Built for most of it to the prejudice of farming lands, it tends to discorganize the regional farming space, especially in the areas of intensive farming, where
to the various problems (regrouping of lands, compensation allowances) leads us to stress wide disparities in the region's agriculture-differences which the building of motorways make even wider because it accelerates processes already on the move.

The AA. analyze the revitalization of ecological capital, which provides insights into how effective adjustments in land-use and farming practices can stimulate a reconnection between farming, nature and society. The paper focuses on a case study

By means of three examples of future development - the change of existing structures into a farm cooperation, the foundation of a large-scale enterprise and a family farm respectively - potential development steps of agriculture in the Eastern part
of Germany are outlined. The consequences for management are derived from the problems arising from the change of agricultural production associations (LPG) and from the process of building up new enterprises. - (L'A.).

Assessment of the earthquake vulnerability of multi-residential buildings in Slovenia

Assessment of the earthquake vulnerability of multi-residential buildings in Slovenia
The paper assesses the earthquake vulnerability of multi-residential buildings in Slovenia, although it is limited to the buildings that were built before 1981, in the time when the earthquake building codes were much less elaborated than today
. In the paper, based on the building completion year, buildings are classified into different time periods, which are characterized by important historical events and bigger changes in earthquake building codes. - (L'A.).

by comparing the location of new properties and abandoned properties. New building shows a clear trend towards greater areal concentration. The adoption of an abandoned farm as a holiday residence is seen as the outcome of a complex developmental process
Patterns of migration, settlement reorganization and desettlement are examined. The principal bodies of data used are migration data assembled from local population registers, data on new building from building permits issued and data on abandoned
, and the longer the farm has been empty the greater is the likelihood that this stage will be reached. The models constructed for trends in population, services and communications depict cross-sections from the dynamic developmental process taken at five-year

Kmetijstvo in spreminjanje rabe tal na ljubljanskem polju

In the last century and a half, Ljubljana has expanded substantially. The build-up has been most distincly oriented toward the north onto the traditionally agricultural gravel plain of Ljubljansko polje. Because this area is also where the main
pumping stations for the city's drinking water supply are located, water protection zones were established that to a certain extent have prevented the build-up on fertile agricultural land. In spite of this, urbanization is the primary process changing
land use, and due to the regulation of the Sava River the area close to the river has experienced quite extensive agricultural intensification. Due to the pressures of urbanizations, agriculture oriented primarely toward stock raising and truck farming

Sur le choix des types de sites d'habitat agricole en Norvège

. It appears that the first permanent settlers chose the locations for their farm buildings according to functional considerations concerning the necessity of avoiding as much as possible the inconveniences which might result from physical constraints
on their efforts at development (proximity of a source of drinking water, dry and firm building terrain, nearby exploitable land, etc.) rather than socio-political factors (such as the more or less chronic insecurity which sometimes played a major role in other
