尽管南非实施了雄心勃勃的土地改革方案，但许多农村家庭的生计只有一小部分来自农业，而且往往依赖于农业以外的收入，无论是商业部门的工资还是政府提供的社会赠款金。以自由邦东部Thaba Nchu的公共区域为重点，本文讨论了世纪初和当前农业生产低下状态之间当地土地利用模式的连续性和转变。基于民族志，档案和航空摄影数据，该研究追溯了社会生态系统的重大变化，特别考虑到政府干预对农业经济部门的影响。虽然农村Thaba Nchu在其历史上经历了土地使用模式的深刻转变，但种族隔离政府发起的“改良计划”对农业生产的影响最大。最初的意图是恢复保护区，但实际上，这种改善破坏了当地农业，摧毁了农村生计。
Despite an ambitious land reform programme, many rural households in South Africa derive only a small proportion of their livelihoods from agriculture, and tend rather to rely on off-farm incomes, whether in the form of wages from the commercial sector or social grants provided by the government. Focusing on communal areas in Thaba Nchu in the eastern Free State, this article addresses both continuities and transformations of the local land use patterns between the early twentieth century and the current state of low agricultural production. Based on ethnographic, archival, and aerial photographic data, the study retraces critical changes in the social–ecological system, taking into particular consideration the effects of governmental interventions on the agro-economic sector. Although rural Thaba Nchu has undergone profound shifts of land use patterns in its history, agricultural production there was most significantly transformed by the ‘betterment schemes’ initiated by the apartheid government. Initially intended to rehabilitate the reserves, the betterment in fact undermined local agriculture and destroyed rural livelihoods.
