| الملخص: | (RIa pid economic growth experienced since independence has brought about socialeconomy
disparities between rural and urban society in this country. Consequently the challenge
of expediting alleviation of poverty particularly among the rural community is a national priority.
In this connection, Sarawak state government has formulated an appropriate development
concept termed as "in-situ land scheme concept" which is extensively adopted in the rural land
development programme through various land development agencies. Since then, the initiative
in targeting NCR land for monoculture plantation (Oil Palm) washsýe en as capable of reducing
social-economic imbalance between rural and urban environmentýi. However, the geographical
terrain, logistical access, social sentiment are amongst local
problems
that may scare away
potential developers from the capital intensive endeavour. Conflicts of interest between
developers and landowners of often jeopardize the entire objective of development brought by
the government.
This study, therefore, attempts to assess the perceptions of land scheme participants after
a given period of participation in the scheme. Two areas developed by different agencies
involving two different communities were chosen as scope of study area. The specific objectives
are to determine the direct benefits enjoyed by the participants of the two areas, and to examine
if the perception of participant has influenced the state of attitude that caused impact to their own
household economy.
