Course Description

要理解一個地方社會,必須從土地法律開始。香港的土地法律可以分為兩個部分,一是香港島和九龍半島的普通法;二是新界(廣義的新界,包括新九龍)的大清律例。而到了1972年實施丁屋政策後,所謂“新界”,又多指不包括新九龍的地區。這個課程,從清朝開始,直接今天,探討香港(香港島、九龍半島、新界)不同時期的土地法律,以及如何影響香港居民的生活。課程將以英國殖民地檔案以及《大清律例》作為基本參考材料,配以相關研究論著,以及幾宗香港法院的官司判詞。

 

學習目標:

(1)清朝的田土制度

(2)華南地方的鄉村社會

(3)今天新界由土地法律而出現的社會面貌

 

學員基本要求:

(1)具聽、說廣東話的能力

(2)閱讀中文古文,英國殖民地英文檔案的能力

Assessment & Assignments

課堂的參與和表現:20%

學期論文:80% (論文組織30%;文章分析50%)

Honesty in Academic Work

Attention is drawn to University policy and regulations on honesty in academic work, and to the disciplinary guidelines and procedures applicable to breaches of such policy and regulations. Details may be found at http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/policy/academichonesty/.

With each assignment, students will be required to submit a signed declaration that they are aware of these policies, regulations, guidelines and procedures.

  • In the case of group projects, all members of the group should be asked to sign the declaration, each of whom is responsible and liable to disciplinary actions, irrespective of whether he/she has signed the declaration and whether he/she has contributed, directly or indirectly, to the problematic contents.
  • For assignments in the form of a computer-generated document that is principally text-based and submitted via VeriGuide, the statement, in the form of a receipt, will be issued by the system upon students’ uploading of the soft copy of the assignment.

Assignments without the properly signed declaration will not be graded by teachers.

Only the final version of the assignment should be submitted via VeriGuide.

The submission of a piece of work, or a part of a piece of work, for more than one purpose (e.g. to satisfy the requirements in two different courses) without declaration to this effect shall be regarded as having committed undeclared multiple submissions. It is common and acceptable to reuse a turn of phrase or a sentence or two from one’s own work; but wholesale reuse is problematic. In any case, agreement from the course teacher(s) concerned should be obtained prior to the submission of the piece of work.
