- W2045804985 abstract "In tropical countries, urbanization and rural deagriculturalization are intimately linked processes. Growth of the construction industry, which draws labor and materials from rural and periurban areas, is a key component of rural–urban interactions. Using a case study from the Perote Valley, Mexico, this article analyzes how urban-driven concrete aggregate mining affects rural agricultural lands and livelihoods. Land-cover changes associated with aggregate surface mining were examined by comparing aerial photographs, satellite images, and Global Positioning System field maps of the valley. In addition, sixty-six formal household interviews were conducted in three agrarian communities. Results indicate that between 1995 and 2006, mine surface area quadrupled, from 181 to 706 hectares, and the spatial distribution of surface mines followed a predictable pattern of extraction, from most to least accessible. Numerous factors persuaded farmers to convert fields to mines, including increased prices for aggregates, consumerist desires for new homes, and declining returns to agriculture. Moreover, farmers believed they could or would recultivate mined land following extraction. Yet, in 2006, among the three agrarian communities, 202 (45 percent) of the 482 hectares of agricultural land extracted were not recultivated. Although deep mines were more likely to be abandoned, findings suggest that land revalorization occurred among farmers, with the scarcity value of nonrenewable aggregates gradually surpassing the land's agricultural value. In the long term, diminished agricultural potential resulting from widespread mine abandonment might drive farmers to migrate to cities for employment, creating a positive feedback between urban demand for construction aggregates and mining of agricultural fields." @default.
