| Summary: | This research examined the explanatory power of institutional perspectives with regard to
the causes of and solutions for idle agriculture land in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan.
There are several causes of agriculture idle land that can be classified into formal written
and informal unwritten sources. According to the institutional perspective, formal
institutions affect actors’ behaviour. Therefore, a study on formal institutions enables us
to identify the way in which actors are willing to supply land for agriculture development.
Similarly, informal rules or the attitudes of the actors also affect supply of land in the case study area. Data was collected through interviews with landowners and government
officers to identify the written and unwritten rules that caused idle lands using nonstratified
sampling procedure and involving 52 lots of idle lands within 19 villages in
Kuala Pilah District. This study adopted the qualitative method of analysis with emphasis
on landowners’ behaviour. The findings showed that one of the major causes of land
becoming idle was due to the social relations of the agents. The findings therefore
indicated the importance of formal dan informal rules in the supply of land for agriculture
development in the case study areas |
