Participatory mapping exercises began during the very first days of the survey with two women and men groups of villagers using two basic maps, assisted by two research members to explain the objectives of the exercise. They facilitated the process through discussion with villagers about which resources and land types to add to the basic maps. These maps were then put together to build a single map representing the perception of the overall community. During all our onsite activities, the map was available to any villager for adding features and making corrections. In the case of Khe Tran, we worked. | 0 GROWTH STRUCTURAL CHANGE AND PLANTATION TREE CROPS THE CASE OF RUBBER Colin Barlow Department of Economics Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies Australian National University Canberra ACT 0200 Australia. Abstract. - The effects of advancing economic growth on plantations are classed in five stages starting with conditions in a backward subsistence economy and ending under circumstances where manufacturing is dominant and planting tree crops no longer economic. Changes in relative resource prices and other factors and consequent adjustments of estates and smallholdings are taken into account doing this in light of international experiences with such crops. The case of natural rubber is scrutinized in depth comparing economic effects and responses in chief producing countries. The key elements in plantation adjustments of market conditions technologies institutional arrangements and government interventions are finally addressed with policies likely to facilitate appropriate modifications being indicated.

INTRODUCTION This paper considers how traditional labour and land-intensive plantation tree crops 1 have reacted to general economic development scrutinizing this from when they were introduced as cash crops in subsistence situations to their probable final demise under conditions of dominant manufacturing. It addresses the case of rubber examining how estates and smallholdings modified production activities with altering labour land and capital prices availability of new technologies and other transformations including more integrated markets better infrastructures and broadening economic opportunities. These opportunities included local rubber goods making responding to domestic demand and export possibilities. Plantation tree crops merit special consideration in this regard being major .
