The social space of a catholic community, Mani, is composed of two main distinctive areas : El Centro and Barrios. This El Centro-Barrio distinction is from European catholic culture. El Centro is the political and economic nucleus of Mestizo, people of mixed blood, and there are living the Spanish-speaking original vecinos of Mani. In contrast, the Barrios are traditional residential sectors, where the Mayas and their descendants are living in the traditional Indian houses. In Mani there is another core area called Kiwic, which is the traditional Maya social space situated near the cenote and ceiba tree. According to the archaeological facts about Post-Classic Yucatec settlement patterns, the temple or temples were located at the core area of the each community, and around the temples extended the houses. The Maya communities were divided into four wards, Barrios, Tzuculs or Calpulli and these four endogamous wards consisted of exogamous patrilineages. In the middle of 16th century, village communities in Mani were, generally termed as Ah-a village name-ob. This Ah-ob was divided into two to four subordinate organizations, Cuchteel. Ahcuchcab, head of Cuchteel, was appointed by Vbatabil Cah, who governed the Ah-ob. Ahcuchcab and Vbatabil were put under the control of Halach Vinic, who governed the community of several Ah-obs. It had its own communal land and the tribute system. The third communal land in Mani was cultivated on condition that he got the right to use the land. The idea of Ejido was overlapped with this communal land. In Mani today, the core area is surrounded by three forms of land and territory, fundo legal (legal sites or property), tierra de propiedad (land of property) and tierras ejidales (land of ejido). Fundo legal includes Solar (conventional dwelling compound) and Joca (3 to 4 month lease land). Ejido is a communal land and to sell it is prohibited by law. Ejido is confiscated if not cultivated for two years.}, pages = {137--152}, title = {マヤユカテカの一カトリック村落マニにおける社会構造の二三の側面}, volume = {9}, year = {2002}, yomi = {ナカベップ, ハルカズ} }
