The study objectives were to (i) determine existing forms of conflicts and (ii) identify drivers underlying resource use conflicts. The manuscript is based on a study that adopted a cross-sectional research design whereby data were collected from 373 randomly selected respondents from Kilosa and Kiteto districts, Tanzania, while primary data were collected through interviews, observations and focus group discussions, secondary data were gathered from government reports and newspapers. Quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0. Descriptive statistical analysis was carried out for quantitative data. Factor analysis was used to extract component factors on drivers and forms of conflicts, whereas content analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. Generally, study results show that there were three main forms of conflict namely farmers versus pastoralists over village boundaries; farmers versus pastoralists over livestock routes and farmers versus farmers over the land.

  • A History Under Siege
    A History under Siege Intensive Agriculture in the Mbulu Highlands, Tanzania, 19th Century to the Present Lowe Börjeson Department of Human Geography Stockholm University 2004 Abstract This doctoral thesis examines the history of the Iraqw’ar Da/aw area in the Mbulu Highlands of northern Tanzania. Since the late nineteenth century this area has been known for its intensive cultivation, and referred to as an “island” within a matrix of less intensive land use. The conventional explanation for its characteristics has been high population densities resulting from the prevention of expansion by hostility from surrounding pastoral groups, leading to a siege-like situation. Drawing on an intensive programme of interviews, detailed field mapping and studies of aerial photographs, early travellers’ accounts and landscape photographs, this study challenges that explanation. The study concludes that the process of agricultural intensification has largely been its own driving force, based on self-reinforcing processes of change, and not a consequence of land scarcity. Keywords: Landscape, environmental history, geography, land use change, population pressure, incremental change, landesque capital, self-reinforcing processes, detailed mapping, participatory mapping, oral history, farming practices, aerial photographs, landscape photographs, Iraqw.

  • SECLUSION, PROTECTION and AVOIDANCE: EXPLORING the METIDA COMPLEX AMONG the DATOGA of NORTHERN TANZANIA Astrid Blystad Ole Bjørn Rekdal Herman Malleyeck
    Africa 77 (3), 2007 SECLUSION, PROTECTION AND AVOIDANCE: EXPLORING THE METIDA COMPLEX AMONG THE DATOGA OF NORTHERN TANZANIA Astrid Blystad Ole Bjørn Rekdal Herman Malleyeck This article deals with metida avoidance practices as they exist in daily and ritual practice among the Southern Nilotic, agro-pastoral Datoga- speaking peoples of the Mbulu/Hanang districts of northern Tanzania.1 The avoidance practices are particularly elaborate in connection with death or death-like events and birth or birth-like events, but are also set in motion by many other events that are experienced as abnormal or threatening. Metida implies the seclusion of people, animals and parts of land perceived to be temporarily highly ‘infertile’ in order to contain and control their inherently ‘dirty’ and ‘contagious’ elements and prevent them from affecting fecund elements or segments. Through diverse forms of seclusion, metida also aims to protect the potential of particularly fertile people, animals and parts of land from ‘dirt’ (ririnyeanda) or from unlucky events perceived to be contagious and dangerous. All Datoga who believe in and practise metida may be liable to protection or seclusion at particular times in their lives, but women of procreative age are regarded as particularly susceptible to the threats and consequences caused by death and misfortune, and thus commonly experience the most severe restrictions. We are talking about a set of avoidance practices where in some instances women may spend years of their lives with severe restrictions on their conduct in terms of movement and socialization. In this article we shall explore the metida complex as a domain of meaning, experience and power that affects large spheres of Datoga lives, and guides and guards Datoga conduct in particular ways.

Revisiting Tanzania’s Flagship Wildlife Management Area Burunge Francis Moyoa,b,#, Jasper Ijumbab, and Jens Friis Lundc aInstitute of International Forestry and Forest Products, Technische Universität Dresden, Dresden, Germany bSchool of Life Sciences and Bio-Engineering, The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology, Arusha, Tanzania cDepartment of Food and Resource Economics, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark #Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we revisit the on-the-ground reality of Burunge Wildlife Management Area (WMA) that is celebrated as one of Tanzania’s best examples of community-based conservation (CBC). We find Burunge WMA rife with conflict and contestation over grievances that remained unsettled since its establishment a decade ago. These grievances have been accentuated by growing land pressure resulting from increasing human, livestock, and elephant populations, in combination with infrastructure improvements and support for agriculture-led development. The WMA governance regime has little to offer the residents and village leaders of Burunge member villages who appear hostages in a situation where interests in human development and conservation are pitted against each other, making a mockery of the notions of CBC. By re-examining this exemplary WMA case and compare our findings with the way it is being portrayed by supporting agencies, we pinpoint the tendency of the actors promoting conservation in Tanzania to misrepresent or ignore the realities on the ground that defy official policy promises.

  • Rural–Urban Migration in the Context of Babati Town
    Södertörn University College | School of Life Sciences Bachelor’s Thesis 15 ECTS | Global Development | Spring term 2008 RURAL–URBAN MIGRATION IN THE CONTEXT OF BABATI TOWN, TANZANIA – CAUSES AND EFFECTS ON POOR PEOPLES’ QUALITY OF LIFE By: Johan Magnér Supervisor: Adolphine Kateka ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to study peoples’ reasons for rural-urban migration in the Babati district of Tanzania and the outcomes of such a migration on the migrants’ quality of life in Babati town. This qualitative study is based on semi-structured interviews and secondary sources. The interviews were performed with poor people in urban Babati town and two villages in rural Babati district. In the last thirty years the population of Babati town has increased more than threefold. The causes of rural-urban migration to Babati town are to be found in economical, social and cultural factors. The economic predominate, with the search for employment mentioned by all the migrants in the study. The migrants in Babati town emphasized adequate housing as a very important factor for a good life in town. This need was in many cases not fulfilled. Many were also still lacking social services and could not afford to buy basic necessities. The greatest asset for the people who have moved to Babati town was the diverse market of employment. The benefits of living in Babati town seem to outnumber the problems for most of the urban migrants. For the villagers of Mutuka the greatest asset was good natural conditions for agriculture and lifestock. In Magugu a great advantage was trade, the affordability of houses, food and necessary things.

  • Have the Tsetse Clearings in the Babati District, Tanzania, Influenced the Spread of Agri- Culture Land?
    Södertörns högskola | Institutionen för Livsvetenskaper Kandidatuppsats 15 hp | Miljövetenskap | Vårterminen 2009 Programmet för Miljö och utveckling Have the Tsetse Clearings in the Babati District, Tanzania, Influenced the Spread of Agri- culture Land? Av: Annika Burström Handledare: Kari Lehtilä Abstract The clearing of woodland to eradicate the tsetse fly in the Babati district, Tanzania, was a governmental initiative. The clearings were mainly carried out in the mid 20th century and managed to reduce the tsetse fly by a great amount. The clearings opened up remote areas and made it possible to access areas that had previously been unavailable for humans. The clear- ing also had an enormous impact on the environment. This is a case study on five different areas in the Babati district that have all been subjected to tsetse clearings. The studied areas are Bonga, Kiru Erri Kiru Valley, Magugu and Mamire. The fieldwork consisted of semi-structured interviews and transect walks. The purpose was to study if the clearings have had any influence over the spreading of agriculture land that were not cultivated before and to inquire into the most significant environmental impact that the clearings had. Different outcome in agriculture land spreading due to the clearings could be seen in the five studied areas. In Bonga and Kiru Valley no agriculture started after the clearings, but in Kiru Erri, Magugu and Mamire some of cleared land is nowadays used for agriculture. The result of the fieldwork indicates that the clearings have had noticeable influence over the spreading of agriculture land but there were also other important driving forces.

  • Considerations for an Integrated Land Evaluation System for Tanzania
    Considerations for an Integrated Land Evaluation System for Tanzania Lessons from the Land Suitability Assessment of Mbulu District Juvent P. Magoggo Senior Soil Surveyor and Computer Designer, National Service, A.R.I. Mlingano, P.O.Box 5088, Tanga, Tanzania 1. Abstract The demands on soil survey and land evaluation in Tanzania are changing from the former research-oriented approach to client-driven. The consequence of this shift in demand is requirement for speed, reliability and versatility in land evaluation. Manual methods of land evaluation can be very time consuming especially in cases of many combination of land utilization types and land evaluation units, as can easily be for districts or regions with a wide range of agro-ecological variability. In this study Mbulu district was used to test the automation of land evaluation in Tanzania. The study area, covering about 6,700 sq. km., was mapped at the scale of 1:100,000. The land evaluation (soil mapping) units were established on the basis of land(scape) units, parent material, relief types and soils. Ten land(scape) units, five parent material types were identified. Their combination with relief types and soils resulted in 115 land evaluation units. The altitude ranges from about 1,100 m to 2,250 m above sea level with annual rainfall ranges between about 400 and 1,100 mm. The main land use alternatives include mechanized rainfed cultivation with medium to high inputs, smallholder rain-fed cultivation, extensive grazing and afforestation. Major crops grown in the district include beans, coffee, maize, pigeon pea, sorghum and wheat.
