Abstract：
The research examines how urban growth and land expropriation have affected farming communities in the towns of Gashena and Kon over the past twenty years. The study used a case study approach, utilizing methods such as open-ended interview checklists, structured questionnaires, and focus group discussions. It reveals a significant reduction in available farmland due to horizontal urban growth, leading to the displacement of numerous farm holdings and disruption of agricultural practices. By analyzing municipal data and employing simple regression modeling, the research anticipates further expansion, underscoring persistent urban growth trends. Economic displacement emerges as a pressing issue, as farmers grapple with finding alternative sources of income, exacerbating food insecurity within affected communities. Moreover, the study unveils diverse impacts on displaced farm holdings, including shifts away from agriculture in livelihoods and substantial income losses. The loss of land assets poses a threat to agricultural productivity and community sustainability. Despite assurances from municipal authorities, the lack of support, guidance, and training contributes to community dissatisfaction. The research underscores the interconnectedness of land, food, culture, and identity, emphasizing the necessity for comprehensive strategies to address the multifaceted impacts of land expropriation. Recommendations include policy interventions, support for transitioning farmers, promotion of sustainable land use practices, and fulfillment of promises regarding support and infrastructure development. Providing training and guidance services for displaced individuals is also crucial for addressing the challenges of land expropriation effectively.
摘要：
该研究调查了过去二十年来城市增长和土地征用如何影响加什纳和肯镇的农业社区。这项研究采用了案例研究的方法，利用开放式面试清单等方法，结构化问卷，和焦点小组讨论。它揭示了由于城市水平增长，可用耕地大幅减少，导致大量农场的流离失所和农业实践的中断。通过分析市政数据并采用简单的回归模型，该研究预计将进一步扩展，强调持续的城市增长趋势。经济流离失所成为一个紧迫的问题，随着农民努力寻找其他收入来源，加剧受影响社区内的粮食不安全状况。此外，这项研究揭示了对流离失所的农场资产的不同影响，包括生计方面从农业转移和大量收入损失。土地资产的流失对农业生产力和社区可持续性构成威胁。尽管市政当局保证,缺乏支持,指导,和培训有助于社区的不满。这项研究强调了土地的相互联系，食物,文化,和身份，强调必须采取综合战略来解决土地征用的多方面影响。建议包括政策干预，支持过渡农民，促进可持续的土地利用做法，以及履行有关支持和基础设施发展的承诺。为流离失所者提供培训和指导服务对于有效应对土地征用挑战也至关重要。
