Title: | The politics of urban-rural relations: land use conversion in the Philippines | Authors: | Kelly, P.F. | Issue Date: | 1998 | Citation: | Kelly, P.F. (1998). The politics of urban-rural relations: land use conversion in the Philippines. Environment and Urbanization 10 (1) : 35-54. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | By examining the process of land use conversion in Manila's extended metropolitan region, this paper suggests that rural-urban relations must be seen as intensely political. The conversion of rice land into industrial, residential and recreational uses represents a political process in two senses: first, policy choices are made relating to the use of land that reflect a particular set of developmental priorities; and second, the facilitation of conversion involves the use of political power relations to circumvent certain regulations. These points are made at three different, but interconnected, levels: at the national level of policy formulation: at the local level of policy implementation and regulation: and at the personal level of everyday power relations in rural areas. The paper draws upon fieldwork in the rapidly urbanizing province of Cavite to the south of Metropolitan Manila. | Source Title: | Environment and Urbanization | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/133481 |
