Different small holder types and their development needs
A simulation model is used to demonstrate that the same technology is not equally attractive to two small holders with different resources and objectives, and that they have opposite reactions to the extension of two maize varieties in the absence
The role of individual subsidiary holdings in Ukrainian agricultural production has increased substantially caused by the general economic crisis in agriculture. The article analyses the development of individual subsidiary holdings and determinates
the relationships between individual subsidiary holdings and large agricultural enterprises. (IFL)
Land holding and the development of residential land in Reservoir Hills.
Paper describes investigation into land holding practices and the development of residential land in an Indian Suburb of metropolitan Durban. The common belief that land speculators are responsible for large underdeveloped areas is shown
Beyond Crofting: Assessing Change on Scotland's Small-Scale Holdings
In this paper, we go ‘beyond crofting’ to assess the changes to both croft and non-croft small-scale land management in Scotland from 2000 to 2011, through an analysis of agricultural census statistics. We find that although small-scale holdings
(defined as holdings of less than 10 ha) occupy a very small percentage of Scotland's agricultural land, they account for 19.6% of Scotland's agricultural labour. Small-scale holdings also play important roles within the commercial poultry and horticulture
sectors, and house 35.9% of reported horses. Small-scale land management is increasing throughout Scotland, but with evident regional distinctions. Upland and island holdings (many of which are crofts) have seen substantial reductions in their sheep
numbers as part of the wider reduction in agricultural activity associated with 2005 Common Agricultural Policy reforms. In contrast, sheep numbers are growing on small-scale holdings in the lowlands, underpinned by a complex mix of commercial
and lifestyle drivers. We highlight that benefits traditionally associated with crofting, such as population retention and rural development, could also be associated with small-scaling holding in general. However, the increase in small-holding and retention

A Markov model for beach changes on the Holderness coast of England
Markov models offer an objective and quantitative method of assessing beach changes. For a stretch of the Holderness coast a beach classification scheme was devised and a probabilistic first order matrix model based on surveyed profile data
The article gives essential issues to the topic environment issues in the public holding. The paper shows the accounts of public holding and the effects of the concept and environment control. Also the report describes the operation distance
of the environment exceptions. In concluding appoints the possibilities to optimise the public holding. - (IfL)
La relation entre la conductivité hydraulique saturée et la texture des dépôts morainiques de Holderness a été étudiée in situ. Le coefficient de corrélation de Spearman, établi avec la teneur en silt moyennement grossier, est positif, alors qu'il
The article analyses determinants of agricultural holdings’ activity in suburban areas and their relationship with conditions of natural environments in The Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship. The analyzed features were presented according to three
groups of determinants, concerning: holdings’ structure and size; organization of production; activity of agricultural holdings. In the next stage, four levels of intensity of the studied features were established, as well as their synthetic level
