Title: Agrarian reform in chile, 1963
Description: The study contains three samples. The first sample was drawn from urban zones of the three main cities in Chile - Santiago, Concepcion, and Valparaiso/Vina del Mar. The second sample was drawn from agrarian workers in the north, central, and southern agricultural zones of Chile. The third sample was drawn from agricultural zones throughout Chile and included recipients of land through agrarian reform. Urban residents in the first sample were questioned about their knowledge and attitude toward Chilean agrarian reform, the importance of mining, agriculture, and industrial development, positive and negative effects of agrarian reform, and knowledge of the literacy campaign in Chile and its participants. Demographic data are also explored. The respondents of the second sample are asked the purposes of agrarian reform, qualifications necessary to receive land, attitudes toward Chilean agrarian reform, and the positive and negative effects of agrarian reform.

Agrarian workers' attitudes toward agricultural cooperatives are also examined. Recipients of land through agrarian reform, sample three respondents, are asked about the advantages they see in receiving land through agrarian reform. The study also ascertains their knowledge of the purposes of reform, their attitudes toward agrarian reform, and its positive and negative effects. The respondents' opinions about formal schooling for children in the area, as well as teaching of home crafts to local women and instructing local men in working the land are also explored.
