Nijerya'da Kauçuk Arazilerin Kenar Topluluklarına Etkilerinin Geliştirilmesi

Ekonomik gelişme Nijerya'da kauçuk endüstrisi kurmanın temel amacıdır. Bu çalışma için belirlenen amaç, Nijerya'nın bazı bölgelerinde kauçuk sitelerin kurulmasının, ev sahibi (saçak) topluluklarının sosyal ve ekonomik gelişimine katkıda bulunup bulunmadığını bulmaktı. 210 kişiden oluşan örneklem büyüklüğünü seçmek için basit bir rastgele örnekleme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Birincil verileri toplamak için iyi yapılandırılmış anketler ve görüşme programı kullanılmıştır. Tanımlayıcı istatistikler (ortalama, mod, sıklık, yüzde ve tablolar) ve çıkarımsal istatistikler (Logit regresyon modeli), topluluklardaki lastik sitelerin sosyal ve ekonomik etkilerine ilişkin olarak halkın görüşü üzerine toplanan bilgileri analiz etmek için kullanılmıştır. Kauçuk sitenin, saçak topluluklar üzerindeki ana sosyal etkisinin, insanların topluluklara toplu göç (akınım) (p <0.01) ve eğitim tesislerinin sağlanması (p <0.05) olduğunu tespit ettik. Kauçuk sitelerinin saçak toplulukları üzerindeki ekonomik etkisi, yardımcı sanayilerin kurulması (p <0.01) ve istihdam sağlanmasıdır (p <0.05). Saçak topluluklardaki kauçuk mülkün istihdam ve gelir çarpanı endeksi sırasıyla% 30,53 ve% 45,84 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Hükümet ve kalkınma ajanslarının, toplum ve ulusal kalkınma için daha fazla kauçuk alan oluşturmasını tavsiye ediyoruz. Kauçuk sitelerin, sosyal sorumluluk alanı olarak saçaklı topluluklara gerekli yararlar sağladığından emin olmak için önlemler alınmalıdır.

Development Impact of Rubber Estate on Fringe Communities in Nigeria

Economic development is the core objective for establishing rubber industry in Nigeria. The objective that was set for this study was to find out whether or not the establishment of rubber estates in some parts of Nigeria has contributed to social and economic development of the host(fringe) communities. A simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 210 respondents. Well structured questionnaires and interview schedule were used to collect primary data. Descriptive statistics (mean, mode, frequency, percentage and tables) and inferential statistics (Logit regression model) were used to analyze the information that were collected on the opinion of the people with respect to the social and economic impact of rubber estates in the communities. We found out that the major social impact of rubber estate on fringe communities were identified to be mass migration (influx) of people into the communities (p<0.01) and provision of education facilities (p<0.05). Economic impact of rubber estate on fringe communities were, establishment of auxiliary industries (p<0.01) and provision of employment (p<0.05). The employment and income multiplier index of the rubber estate on fringe communities were computed to be 30.53% and 45.84% respectively. We recommend that Government and development agencies should establish more rubber estates for community and national development. Measures should be put in place to ensure that rubber estates provide due benefits to fringe communities as a form of social responsibility.
