== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
The area under study is located in the center of Argentina in a plain area of big farms devoted to agriculture, livestock and milk production. It is a very well communicated area through a net of dirt and paved roads. In the middle of a productive landscape, the rural school of San Eduardo is a meeting point, a landmark, a meeting place for adults and the only place where the sons and daughters of rural workers can get education.

This area is important to me because I have worked in a farm and in the school in the coordination of a Rural Development Project through which twenty women were trained to generate handcrafts small enterprises. Now, I am doing my Doctorate research in Anthropology, where I explore how children and women living in the area see and feel their everyday landscape.

*''' How do people behave in this area? How do they use the space? What is important for them?'''

The school of San Eduardo has around 28 pupils and most of them (80%) live in the farms. They go from home to the school by moto, horse, by walking and by a mini bus (see pictures). In summer they go to the school in the mornings and in winter they go in the afternoons. Out of these times the school is empty unless there are some adult capacitation at night. In farms, land is devoted to soybean production, cattle for milk production, and horse (for instance horses to play polo). The use of the space depends on the kind of production, the season, the weather, the size of the farm and general economic conditions.

Workers devoted to animal production live in the farms, the farm owner live in the city as people that is devoted to agriculture. They travel everyday from the farms to the city and the other way around. There is a high use of the roads, in cars, trucks and agricultural machines specially during the day. In winter it is possible to find hunters of wild rubbits during the night that go very slowly by the road.

For all of them is very important the state of the road, to have a good road to get into the city and back home.

'''Observation of study area, interviews with local people and mapping of use patterns'''.

I did a fiel research during November with 10 pupils of the school. One of the activities was a worshops of photogrpahy by which they took pictures of the school, the travel they do everyday and took pictures at their home place. I could observe through their pictures their everyday landscapes and how they get to school (see pictures). I talked to the teachers and with the driver man of the mini bus who is colllecting the girls and boys in the entrance of the farms. From there, they go home by horse, bike, walking or their parents wait for them in a car.

Besides, I know how people work and manage the farms because I have worked in the area for almost ten years. I know that the use of the internal space of the farms depends on the prduction and the crops. In general it could be said that there is more agriculture, that tere is a tendency to take out the fences to have bigger plots to make agriculture, that there is less animals and they are brought to the lowest parts of the fields where it is not possible to make agrioculture because of the worst quality of land.

There are big machines which do the work very quickly and leave the farm very soon to go to another farm. There is a lot of pulverization, and as a consequence many trees and wild vegetation are dying because of the use of herbicides. Few people live in the farms comared to 20 years and they do not receive much atention from the argentinean authorities.

== Exercise 4: Communication Concepts ==

'''Time frame: December 19, 2011 - January 17, 2012'''
* Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
* Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
* Students are free to choose their method.

The landscape of rural Trenque Lauquen has undergone major transformations since 2002, when genetically modified soy was introduced in the area jointly with a whole technological package. It is based on the use of transgenic seeds and a high use of agrochemicals that are applied by ground or by aircraft machines. This practice is not always done in optimal weather conditions, for example they are applied on windy days and the chemical crop deviates and reaches other surrounding areas, reaching in many cases the houses. Sometimes, planes fly too close to houses and rural schools. As a result, it is now possible to see many dead trees surrounding homes and health problems of people who live there, such as breathing problems or allergies.
Besides, another consequence of this change is that they have gone productive livestock production that required more people to your attention that agriculture, and this has led to depopulation of the area.
As a result, some people begins to speak and conceptualized the area as a green desert, which encourages the area to work without caring for people, especially the irresponsible use of agrochemicals. Also, rural schools have fewer students and endangered its continuance.

For these reasons, it is essential to reverse the idea that the area is a desert because there are people working and living there, who has to be provided with education and protection For this reason, people and their ordinary landscapes has to be known.
Some communication strategies to raise awareness about the mentioned facts have been developed.

1. Create a Photography Exhibition to be shown at different urban locations and other rural schools. The first exhibition was in December 2011 at the Rural School of San Eduardo and it has been made with pictures that had been taken by students of the schoool during the month of November 2011 in a Photography Workshop. During the days of the workshop children have photographed their school, their journey from school to home and their homes. The aim was to show their everyday landscapes, themselves living in the countryside and being educated at a Rural school (see pictures 1 to 6)

2. Make cards with the pictures of students at school and at home. The aim is to distribute images to different institutions and people in charge of the use of chemical products in agriculture(see pictures 7 to 10)

3. Make a website where you compile the history of the place, which is already under construction (www.ordinarylandscapes.com)

1. Perform a traveling photography exhibition at different urban locations and other rural schools. The exhibition is made with pictures that have taken by children of the rural school of San Eduardo during the month of November 2011 in a Photography Workshop. There, children have photographed her school, their journey from school to home and at their homes with the aim to show their everyday landscapes, themselves living in the countryside and going to a Rural school (see pictures 1 to 6)

2. Make cards with the pictures to distribute images of children at school and at home(see pictures 7 to 10)

== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
The area under study is located in the center of Argentina in a plain area of big farms devoted to agriculture, livestock and milk production. It is a very well communicated area through a net of dirt and paved roads. In the middle of a productive landscape, the rural school of San Eduardo is a meeting point, a landmark, a meeting place for adults and the only place where the sons and daughters of rural workers can get education.

This area is important to me because I have worked in a farm and in the school in the coordination of a Rural Development Project through which twenty women were trained to generate handcrafts small enterprises. Now, I am doing my Doctorate research in Anthropology, where I explore how children and women living in the area see and feel their everyday landscape.

* How do people behave in this area? How do they use the space? What is important for them?
* Observation of study area, interviews with local people and mapping of use patterns.
* Preparation of short presentation

*''' How do people behave in this area? How do they use the space? What is important for them?'''

The school of San Eduardo has around 28 pupils and most of them (80%) live in the farms. They go from home to the school by moto, horse, by walking and by a mini bus (see pictures). In summer they go to the school in the mornings and in winter they go in the afternoons. Out of these times the school is empty unless there are some adult capacitation at night. In farms, land is devoted to soybean production, cattle for milk production, and horse (for instance horses to play polo). The use of the space depends on the kind of production, the season, the weather, the size of the farm and general economic conditions.

Workers devoted to animal production live in the farms, the farm owner live in the city as people that is devoted to agriculture. They travel everyday from the farms to the city and the other way around. There is a high use of the roads, in cars, trucks and agricultural machines specially during the day. In winter it is possible to find hunters of wild rubbits during the night that go very slowly by the road.

For all of them is very important the state of the road, to have a good road to get into the city and back home.

'''Observation of study area, interviews with local people and mapping of use patterns'''.

I did a fiel research during November with 10 pupils of the school. One of the activities was a worshops of photogrpahy by which they took pictures of the school, the travel they do everyday and took pictures at their home place. I could observe through their pictures their everyday landscapes and how they get to school (see pictures). I talked to the teachers and with the driver man of the mini bus who is colllecting the girls and boys in the entrance of the farms. From there, they go home by horse, bike, walking or their parents wait for them in a car.

Besides, I know how people work and manage the farms because I have worked in the area for almost ten years. I know that the use of the internal space of the farms depends on the prduction and the crops. In general it could be said that there is more agriculture, that tere is a tendency to take out the fences to have bigger plots to make agriculture, that there is less animals and they are brought to the lowest parts of the fields where it is not possible to make agrioculture because of the worst quality of land.

There are big machines which do the work very quickly and leave the farm very soon to go to another farm. There is a lot of pulverization, and as a consequence many trees and wild vegetation are dying because of the use of herbicides. Few people live in the farms comared to 20 years and they do not receive much atention from the argentinean authorities.

== Exercise 4: Communication Concepts ==

'''Time frame: December 19, 2011 - January 17, 2012'''
* Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
* Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
* Students are free to choose their method.

The landscape of rural Trenque Lauquen has undergone major transformations since 2002, when genetically modified soy was introduced in the area jointly with a whole technological package. It is based on the use of transgenic seeds and a high use of agrochemicals that are applied by ground or by aircraft machines. This practice is not always done in optimal weather conditions, for example they are applied on windy days and the chemical crop deviates and reaches other surrounding areas, reaching in many cases the houses. Sometimes, planes fly too close to houses and rural schools. As a result, it is now possible to see many dead trees surrounding homes and health problems of people who live there, such as breathing problems or allergies.
Besides, another consequence of this change is that they have gone productive livestock production that required more people to your attention that agriculture, and this has led to depopulation of the area.
As a result, some people begins to speak and conceptualized the area as a green desert, which encourages the area to work without caring for people, especially the irresponsible use of agrochemicals. Also, rural schools have fewer students and endangered its continuance.

For these reasons, it is essential to reverse the idea that the area is a desert because there are people working and living there, who has to be provided with education and protection For this reason, people and their ordinary landscapes has to be known.
Some communication strategies to raise awareness about the mentioned facts have been developed.

1. Perform a traveling photography exhibition at different urban locations and other rural schools. The exhibition is made with pictures that have taken by children of the rural school of San Eduardo during the month of November 2011 in a Photography Workshop. There, children have photographed her school, their journey from school to home and at their homes with the aim to show their everyday landscapes, themselves living in the countryside and going to a Rural school (see pictures 1 to 6)

2. Make cards with the pictures to distribute images of children at school and at home

3. Make a poster showing the faces of children asking for accountability in the use of agrochemicals because they live there.

4. Make a website where you compile the history of the place, which is already under construction (www.ordinarylandscapes.com)

== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
The area under study is located in the center of Argentina in a plain area of big farms devoted to agriculture, livestock and milk production. It is a very well communicated area through a net of dirt and paved roads. In the middle of a productive landscape, the rural school of San Eduardo is a meeting point, a landmark, a meeting place for adults and the only place where the sons and daughters of rural workers can get education.

This area is important to me because I have worked in a farm and in the school in the coordination of a Rural Development Project through which twenty women were trained to generate handcrafts small enterprises. Now, I am doing my Doctorate research in Anthropology, where I explore how children and women living in the area see and feel their everyday landscape.

*''' How do people behave in this area? How do they use the space? What is important for them?'''

The school of San Eduardo has around 28 pupils and most of them (80%) live in the farms. They go from home to the school by moto, horse, by walking and by a mini bus (see pictures). In summer they go to the school in the mornings and in winter they go in the afternoons. Out of these times the school is empty unless there are some adult capacitation at night. In farms, land is devoted to soybean production, cattle for milk production, and horse (for instance horses to play polo). The use of the space depends on the kind of production, the season, the weather, the size of the farm and general economic conditions.

Workers devoted to animal production live in the farms, the farm owner live in the city as people that is devoted to agriculture. They travel everyday from the farms to the city and the other way around. There is a high use of the roads, in cars, trucks and agricultural machines specially during the day. In winter it is possible to find hunters of wild rubbits during the night that go very slowly by the road.

For all of them is very important the state of the road, to have a good road to get into the city and back home.

'''Observation of study area, interviews with local people and mapping of use patterns'''.

I did a fiel research during November with 10 pupils of the school. One of the activities was a worshops of photogrpahy by which they took pictures of the school, the travel they do everyday and took pictures at their home place. I could observe through their pictures their everyday landscapes and how they get to school (see pictures). I talked to the teachers and with the driver man of the mini bus who is colllecting the girls and boys in the entrance of the farms. From there, they go home by horse, bike, walking or their parents wait for them in a car.

Besides, I know how people work and manage the farms because I have worked in the area for almost ten years. I know that the use of the internal space of the farms depends on the prduction and the crops. In general it could be said that there is more agriculture, that tere is a tendency to take out the fences to have bigger plots to make agriculture, that there is less animals and they are brought to the lowest parts of the fields where it is not possible to make agrioculture because of the worst quality of land.

There are big machines which do the work very quickly and leave the farm very soon to go to another farm. There is a lot of pulverization, and as a consequence many trees and wild vegetation are dying because of the use of herbicides. Few people live in the farms comared to 20 years and they do not receive much atention from the argentinean authorities.

'''Time frame: December 19, 2011 - January 17, 2012'''
* Based on the different landscape assessment approaches students will develop a communication concept for their area of study
* Which measures would be necessary for enhancing the awareness for the area?
* Students are free to choose their method.

The landscape of rural Trenque Lauquen has undergone major transformations since 2002, when genetically modified soy was introduced in the area jointly with a whole technological package. It is based on the use of transgenic seeds and a high use of agrochemicals that are applied by ground or by aircraft machines. This practice is not always done in optimal weather conditions, for example they are applied on windy days and the chemical crop deviates and reaches other surrounding areas, reaching in many cases the houses. Sometimes, planes fly too close to houses and rural schools. As a result, it is now possible to see many dead trees surrounding homes and health problems of people who live there, such as breathing problems or allergies.
Besides, another consequence of this change is that they have gone productive livestock production that required more people to your attention that agriculture, and this has led to depopulation of the area.
As a result, some people begins to speak and conceptualized the area as a green desert, which encourages the area to work without caring for people, especially the irresponsible use of agrochemicals. Also, rural schools have fewer students and endangered its continuance.

For these reasons, it is essential to reverse the idea that the area is a desert because there are people working and living, who has to be provided with education and protection For this reason, people and their ordinary landscapes has to be known.
Some communication strategies to raise awareness about the mentioned facts have been developed.

1. Perform a traveling photography exhibition at different urban locations and other rural schools. The exhibition is made with pictures that have taken by children of the rural school of San Eduardo during the month of November 2011 in a Photography Workshop. There, children have photographed her school, their journey from school to home and at their homes with the aim to show their everyday landscapes, themselves living in the countryside and going to a Rural school (see pictures 1 to 6)

2. Make cards with the pictures to distribute images of children at school and at home

3. Make a poster showing the faces of children asking for accountability in the use of agrochemicals because they live there.

4. Make a website where you compile the history of the place, which is already under construction (www.ordinarylandscapes.com)

(see pictures 1, 2 and 3 of the Photograhic Exhibition at the Rural Scholl of San Eduardo)

2. Make cards with the pictures to distribute images of children at school and at home

3. Make a poster showing the faces of children asking for accountability in the use of agrochemicals because they live there.

4. Make a website where you compile the history of the place, which is already under construction (www.ordinarylandscapes.com)

== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
The area under study is located in the center of Argentina in a plain area of big farms devoted to agriculture, livestock and milk production. It is a very well communicated area through a net of dirt and paved roads. In the middle of a productive landscape, the rural school of San Eduardo is a meeting point, a landmark, a meeting place for adults and the only place where the sons and daughters of rural workers can get education.

This area is important to me because I have worked in a farm and in the school in the coordination of a Rural Development Project through which twenty women were trained to generate handcrafts small enterprises. Now, I am doing my Doctorate research in Anthropology, where I explore how children and women living in the area see and feel their everyday landscape.

== Exercise 1: Sketching the Landscape ==

*''' How do people behave in this area? How do they use the space? What is important for them?'''

The school of San Eduardo has around 28 pupils and most of them (80%) live in the farms. They go from home to the school by moto, horse, by walking and by a mini bus (see pictures). In summer they go to the school in the mornings and in winter they go in the afternoons. Out of these times the school is empty unless there are some adult capacitation at night. In farms, land is devoted to soybean production, cattle for milk production, and horse (for instance horses to play polo). The use of the space depends on the kind of production, the season, the weather, the size of the farm and general economic conditions.

Workers devoted to animal production live in the farms, the farm owner live in the city as people that is devoted to agriculture. They travel everyday from the farms to the city and the other way around. There is a high use of the roads, in cars, trucks and agricultural machines specially during the day. In winter it is possible to find hunters of wild rubbits during the night that go very slowly by the road.

For all of them is very important the state of the road, to have a good road to get into the city and back home.

'''Observation of study area, interviews with local people and mapping of use patterns'''.

I did a fiel research during November with 10 pupils of the school. One of the activities was a worshops of photogrpahy by which they took pictures of the school, the travel they do everyday and took pictures at their home place. I could observe through their pictures their everyday landscapes and how they get to school (see pictures). I talked to the teachers and with the driver man of the mini bus who is colllecting the girls and boys in the entrance of the farms. From there, they go home by horse, bike, walking or their parents wait for them in a car.

Besides, I know how people work and manage the farms because I have worked in the area for almost ten years. I know that the use of the internal space of the farms depends on the prduction and the crops. In general it could be said that there is more agriculture, that tere is a tendency to take out the fences to have bigger plots to make agriculture, that there is less animals and they are brought to the lowest parts of the fields where it is not possible to make agrioculture because of the worst quality of land.

There are big machines which do the work very quickly and leave the farm very soon to go to another farm. There is a lot of pulverization, and as a consequence many trees and wild vegetation are dying because of the use of herbicides. Few people live in the farms comared to 20 years and they do not receive much atention from the argentinean authorities.

The landscape of rural Trenque Lauquen has undergone major transformations since 2002, when genetically modified soy was introduced in the area jointly with a whole technological package. It is based on the use of transgenic seeds and a high use of agrochemicals that are applied by ground or by aircraft machines. This practice is not always done in optimal weather conditions, for example they are applied on windy days and the chemical crop deviates and reaches other surrounding areas, reaching in many cases the houses. Sometimes, planes fly too close to houses and rural schools. As a result, it is now possible to see many dead trees surrounding homes and health problems of people who live there, such as breathing problems or allergies.
Besides, another consequence of this change is that they have gone productive livestock production that required more people to your attention that agriculture, and this has led to depopulation of the area.
As a result, some people begins to speak and conceptualized the area as a green desert, which encourages the area to work without caring for people, especially the irresponsible use of agrochemicals. Also, rural schools have fewer students and endangered its continuance.

For these reasons, it is essential to reverse the idea that the area is a desert because there are people working and living, who has to be provided with education and protection For this reason, people and their ordinary landscapes has to be known.
Some communication strategies to raise awareness about the mentioned facts have been developed.

1. Perform a traveling photography exhibition at different urban locations and other rural schools. The exhibition is made with pictures that have taken by children of the rural school of San Eduardo during the month of November 2011 in a Photography Workshop. There, children have photographed her school, their journey from school to home and at their homes with the aim to show their everyday landscapes, themselves living in the countryside and going to a school. (see pictures 1, 2 and 3 of the Photograhic Exhibition at the Rural Scholl of San Eduardo)

2. Make cards with the pictures to distribute images of children at school and at home

3. Make a poster showing the faces of children asking for accountability in the use of agrochemicals because they live there.

4. Make a website where you compile the history of the place, which is already under construction (www.ordinarylandscapes.com)

This practice is not always done in optimal weather conditions, for example they are applied on windy days and the chemical crop deviates and reaches other surrounding areas, reaching in many cases the houses. Sometimes, planes fly too close to houses and rural schools. As a result, it is now possible to see many dead trees surrounding homes and health problems of people who live there, such as breathing problems or allergies.
Besides, another consequence of this change is that they have gone productive livestock production that required more people to your attention that agriculture, and this has led to depopulation of the area.
As a result, some people begins to speak and conceptualized the area as a green desert, which encourages the area to work without caring for people, especially the irresponsible use of agrochemicals. Also, rural schools have fewer students and endangered its continuance.

For these reasons, it is essential to reverse the idea that the area is a desert because there are people working and living, who has to be provided with education and protection For this reason, people and their ordinary landscapes has to be known.
Some communication strategies to raise awareness about the mentioned facts have been developed.

1. Perform a traveling photography exhibition at different urban locations and other rural schools. The exhibition is made with pictures that have taken by children of the rural school of San Eduardo during the month of November 2011 in a Photography Workshop. There, children have photographed her school, their journey from school to home and at their homes with the aim to show their everyday landscapes, themselves living in the countryside and going to a school. (see pictures 1, 2 and 3 of the Photograhic Exhibition at the Rural Scholl of San Eduardo)
2. Make cards with the pictures to distribute images of children at school and at home
3. Make a poster showing the faces of children asking for accountability in the use of agrochemicals because they live there.
4. Make a website where you compile the history of the place, which is already under construction (www.ordinarylandscapes.com)

== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
The area under study is located in the center of Argentina in a plain area of big farms devoted to agriculture, livestock and milk production. It is a very well communicated area through a net of dirt and paved roads. In the middle of a productive landscape, the rural school of San Eduardo is a meeting point, a landmark, a meeting place for adults and the only place where the sons and daughters of rural workers can get education.

This area is important to me because I have worked in a farm and in the school in the coordination of a Rural Development Project through which twenty women were trained to generate handcrafts small enterprises. Now, I am doing my Doctorate research in Anthropology, where I explore how children and women living in the area see and feel their everyday landscape.

*''' How do people behave in this area? How do they use the space? What is important for them?'''

The school of San Eduardo has around 28 pupils and most of them (80%) live in the farms. They go from home to the school by moto, horse, by walking and by a mini bus (see pictures). In summer they go to the school in the mornings and in winter they go in the afternoons. Out of these times the school is empty unless there are some adult capacitation at night. In farms, land is devoted to soybean production, cattle for milk production, and horse (for instance horses to play polo). The use of the space depends on the kind of production, the season, the weather, the size of the farm and general economic conditions.

Workers devoted to animal production live in the farms, the farm owner live in the city as people that is devoted to agriculture. They travel everyday from the farms to the city and the other way around. There is a high use of the roads, in cars, trucks and agricultural machines specially during the day. In winter it is possible to find hunters of wild rubbits during the night that go very slowly by the road.

For all of them is very important the state of the road, to have a good road to get into the city and back home.

'''Observation of study area, interviews with local people and mapping of use patterns'''.

I did a fiel research during November with 10 pupils of the school. One of the activities was a worshops of photogrpahy by which they took pictures of the school, the travel they do everyday and took pictures at their home place. I could observe through their pictures their everyday landscapes and how they get to school (see pictures). I talked to the teachers and with the driver man of the mini bus who is colllecting the girls and boys in the entrance of the farms. From there, they go home by horse, bike, walking or their parents wait for them in a car.

Besides, I know how people work and manage the farms because I have worked in the area for almost ten years. I know that the use of the internal space of the farms depends on the prduction and the crops. In general it could be said that there is more agriculture, that tere is a tendency to take out the fences to have bigger plots to make agriculture, that there is less animals and they are brought to the lowest parts of the fields where it is not possible to make agrioculture because of the worst quality of land.

There are big machines which do the work very quickly and leave the farm very soon to go to another farm. There is a lot of pulverization, and as a consequence many trees and wild vegetation are dying because of the use of herbicides. Few people live in the farms comared to 20 years and they do not receive much atention from the argentinean authorities.

*''' How do people behave in this area? How do they use the space? What is important for them?'''

The school of San Eduardo has around 28 pupils and most of them (80%) live in the farms. They go from home to the school by moto, horse, by walking and by a mini bus. In summer they go to the school in the mornings and in winter they go in the afternoons. Out of these times the school is empty unless there are somme adult capacitation at night. In farms, land is devoted to soybean production, cattle for milk production, and horse (for instance horses to play polo).

In winter it is possible to find hunters of wild rubbits during the night that go very slowly by the road.

For all of them is very important the state of the road, to have a good road to get into the city and back home.

'''Observation of study area, interviews with local people and mapping of use patterns'''.

I did a fiel research during November with 10 pupils of the school. On of the activities was a worshops of photogrpahy by which they took pictures of the school, the travel they do everyday and took pictures at their home place. I could observe through their pictures their everyday landscapes and how they get to school. I talked to the teachers and with the driver man of the mini bus who is colllecting the girls and boys in the entrance of the farms. From there, they go home by horse, bike, walking or their parents wait for them in a car.

Besides, I know how people work and manage the farms because I have worked in the area for almost ten years. I know that the use of the internal space of the farms depends on the prduction and the crops. In general it could be said that there is more agriculture, that tere is a tendency to take out the fences to have bigger plots to make agriculture, that there is less animals and they are brought to the lowest parts of the fields where it is not possible to make agrioculture because of the worst quality of land.

There are big machines which do the work very quickly and leave the farm very soon to go to another farm. There is a lot of pulverization, and as a consequence many trees and wild vegetation are dying because of the use of herbicides. Few people live in the farms comared to 20 years and they do not receive much atention from the argentinean authorities.

== Short Introduction to the Area of Study ==
The area under study is located in the center of Argentina in a plain area of big farms devoted to agriculture, livestock and milk production. It is a very well communicated area through a net of dirt and paved roads. In the middle of a productive landscape, the rural school of San Eduardo is a meeting point, a landmark, a meeting place for adults and the only place where the sons and daughters of rural workers can get education.

This area is important to me because I have worked in a farm and in the school in the coordination of a Rural Development Project through which twenty women were trained to generate handcrafts small enterprises. Now, I am doing my Doctorate research in Anthropology, where I explore how children and women living in the area see and feel their everyday landscape.

*''' How do people behave in this area? How do they use the space? What is important for them?'''

The school of San Eduardo has around 28 pupils and most of them (80%) live in the farms. They go from home to the school by moto, horse, by walking and by a mini bus. In summer they go to the school in the mornings and in winter they go in the afternoons. Out of these times the school is empty unless there are somme adult capacitation at night. In farms, land is devoted to soybean production, cattle for milk production, and horse (for instance horses to play polo). The use of the space depends on the kind of production, the season, the weather, the size of the farm and general economic conditions.

Workers devoted to animal production live in the farms, the farm owner live in the city as people that is devoted to agriculture. They travel everyday from the farms to the city and the other way around. There is a high use of the roads, in cars, trucks and agricultural machines specially during the day. In winter it is possible to find hunters of wild rubbits during the night that go very slowly by the road.

For all of them is very important the state of the road, to have a good road to get into the city and back home.

'''Observation of study area, interviews with local people and mapping of use patterns'''.

I did a fiel research during November with 10 pupils of the school. On of the activities was a worshops of photogrpahy by which they took pictures of the school, the travel they do everyday and took pictures at their home place. I could observe through their pictures their everyday landscapes and how they get to school. I talked to the teachers and with the driver man of the mini bus who is colllecting the girls and boys in the entrance of the farms. From there, they go home by horse, bike, walking or their parents wait for them in a car.

Besides, I know how people work and manage the farms because I have worked in the area for almost ten years. I know that the use of the internal space of the farms depends on the prduction and the crops. In general it could be said that there is more agriculture, that tere is a tendency to take out the fences to have bigger plots to make agriculture, that there is less animals and they are brought to the lowest parts of the fields where it is not possible to make agrioculture because of the worst quality of land.

There are big machines which do the work very quickly and leave the farm very soon to go to another farm. There is a lot of pulverization, and as a consequence many trees and wild vegetation are dying because of the use of herbicides. Few people live in the farms comared to 20 years and they do not receive much atention from the argentinean authorities.

Talk:Rural-scape on the Fringe of City

2011-12-13T11:29:55Z

Alejandra:

Dear Archana,

This area makes me really curious. Your drawing with the uses of men, women and children is very good, I hope you can develop this method further also for other places in this village. It shows a lot - in a planning sense - but is also well understandable for lay people.

The use map rises some questions to me: what is 'undefined' space - are they not used? Temporarily? Cows eating? Children playing? What happens in the 'common' place - is it agricultural land used by everybody? In German this would be called 'Allmende'. How is the boundary between the religious site and its surroundings defined - is it more an invisible boundary (in people's minds) or is it spatial?

Are the woodlands used by people as you say this is a reserve?

Well, this is rather a set of questions than a comment -

Best wishes, Ellen

Archana: It is good that you liked the drawing.I think I would like to use this in behavior mapping. Regarding your questions I would like to answer them one by one but some how its interconnected

'''1)''' The areas which I mentioned in map as undefined is the current use of land. These are the land pieces belong to villagers. Initially its function was agriculture land, may be on papers its still a agricultural land. But as this village is on the fringe of city, and young generation is moving to city for job, these are the areas which are just lying ideally there with no function at all. There is no defined cattle in villages so no grazing as such. Children are not allowed to play there as it is a private property....so no current function just a piece of land with undefined function.

'''2)''' Common place or area is the land which belongs to gram panchayat (village governing body). It can be used by anyone with some formalities. Initially this area was a water body where water from rain was collected and used for irrigation purpose. But due to unplanned construction now this catchment area is dry for almost all the time.

'''3)''' Religious land belongs to one villager which he donated, but on papers its still his land. So its more of a agreement on social level. Its boundary is defined by wired fencing.It can be used by any one anytime...

'''4)''' Reserve forest in India is generally forest which comes under forest authority of India. Entering in it after certain limit is prohibited. Initially for fuel villagers used to go inside and collect woods but now a day because of proximity to city and availability of gas its kind of very minimum. There are certain conflicts between forest authority and villagers also man -animal conflict as there is no barricade between village and forest which is a matter of concern. Which I would like to reflect further as well in my thesis.

Thanks. If there are any other questions please let me know.

Dear Archana,
Your sketches, maps and drawing are very clear and I can get a good idea of the area.

I am very much curious about the results of your workshops with the villagers about how they appreciate their landscapes and how you have developed the workshops. Could you give me some ideas about that? is there a problem or conflict for the use of the space due to the neighboring city expansion? why are there not agricultural activities today in the piece of land with undefined function? is it only because of the young job migration?
