Too busy to farm: Under‐utilisation of farm land in central Java
研究中爪哇两个村庄部分农田利用强度低于其他类似土地的现象，发现高度多样化的生计策略和非农就业机会是导致农田利用强度下降的原因。
Abstract In two hamlets (dukuh) in south central Java, a series of situations have been identified in which some farm‐land is now being used less intensively than other, similar land. In an area of such high population density this appears a paradox. Although a variety of explanations exist for the less intensive use of farm‐land, where household livelihood strategies are highly diversified ‐ as in central Java ‐ and where a wide range of non‐farming work exists, the intensity of use of farmland may be declining for some households.
