III. FORMAL LAND MARKETS Good land governance can be achieved through harmonizing of policies, streamlining procedures, developing national spatial data infrastructure and providing efficient and effective services. It is a well known fact that the ramifications of poor land governance have direct impact on the overall integrity of the nation and socio economic development initiatives. Land governance helps in reducing poverty alleviation and results in better Gross National Happiness Index. Poverty alleviation and economic prosperity – both ends of the spectrum of government priorities are affected by land issues .Poverty cannot be alleviated without having proper information and reliable services for land survey, record and transfer in …show more content…
If there is no objection raised within this period, an affirmative decision is made and the application is conveyed to the Home Ministry for formal approval. The Home Ministry sends the case to the land Record office in SoB Bhutan for registration. After affecting the necessary changes in the main land records, the relevant district, sub-district and block officials are informed of the change, whereby the local records are amended. A certificate is duly prepared and presented to the individual through the local authorities (Tshering, …show more content…
The administration responsibilities are not clear. Although the districts or sub-districts execute the activities of land transaction, no land information is directly available at these offices from the SoB where cadastre and land registration systems are computerized. The communications are mostly channeled through the hierarchies of the formal administrative bodies, which induce many errors, duplication and inconsistencies in the land records (Sathram). Other government organizations and agencies have no means to obtain necessary land information. Although the system is meant for generating revenue, there are no agencies responsible for monitoring and valuing land. Thus the system is unable to recognize if it stimulates land market or if it promotes agricultural productivity in the rural
End the misdistribution of land, as 1 percent owned more than 55 percent. Farmers lived in extreme impoverishment
Many would argue that the land redistribution has been used as a pretext to further political gains...
The government allowed much of these unsustainable activities to occur without understanding the large scope of consequences it has. With land degradation, the country will not be able to “feed its population, provide water, develop the tourism industry, and diminish vulnerability to natural hazards”. Without the political will of the government, none of these issues can be addressed or minimized. The government needs to involve its efforts and funds to develop land use planning and to protect its resources in order to protect its future generations and the future of the country (Castro, Mataya, and Stark, 2007, p.

For A-level AQA students, geography gives them the opportunity to study the relationship of human populations over space and times; within their physical environments, as well as work on a dedicated fieldwork practice. Studying geography at school and university requires looking at the physical and human sides. The table below categorises what type of content would be in each discipline.
And most of the farmers are found with small land holding or landless farmers so in order to have equal distribution of land to nation’s people, country should have redistribution of land by forming some reliable agenda. Suppose government has stated land reform agenda as follows:
As poor farmers generally posses less land, they are more often engaged in off farm activities such as petty trade. This can decrease their interest to invest on soil conservation practices. According to (Hagos et al., 1999), small farm holdings and land fragmentation may undermine farmers’ interest in undertaking some kind of land improvement. For example, farmers may find the cost of hauling manure or other organic materials to distant and small plots not worth the considerable effort required. In addition, investment that can be easily damaged by free ranging livestock or subject to theft (such as trees) are less likely to be made far from the household where it is different to protect
The purpose of enacting The Land Registration Act 2002, was to combat the uncertainties evolved around the previous Act, Land Registration Act 1925 . The need for reforms was highlighted in a report by Law Commission known as Land Registration for the 21st Century: a Conveyancing Revolution . LRA 2002 repealed LRA 1925, not only simplify the law by maintaining an accurate record of all the rights and alongside interests held by others that affect the land, but also to give certainty the basic concepts engrossed by the 1925 Act as it can be very clearly evident that 2002 Act revolves around the original and principle ideas with amendments.
The right to property is an incentive for man to work hard. The rights should guarantee to meet the demands of natural justice by giving reward to man’s labor and should also promote economic growth.
There are two forms of the land registration system; unregistered and registered land. There are four rules that apply to unregistered land in order to protect the rights of sellers and buyers. When land is unregistered all prior legal interests will automatically bind the new owner of the land; this is because The Charges Act 1972 contains a list of burdens on unregistered land requiring protection of the land by entry in to the land charges register. If the land is subject to a trust then the buyer need not worry about any beneficiaries for when the buyer pays the trustees the beneficiaries interests become detached from the land and the money. Due to the Land Registration Act 2002 all unregistered land at the point of sale is required to be registered now.
Most of the rural land in South Africa is still administered by a trust held by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform for the people. Makobakoba’s village is under a trust which is governed by Kgoshi Mashabela. The mine currently does not need to utilise this land, however because of mining activities, the people of Makobakoba have raised concerns and issues relating to, cracks, snakes and seismic activity causing uncertainty and uneasiness of their building structural integrity. This has then resulted in resettlement. Given that some households will be relocating further away from their present farming land the client has agreed to assist with the costs for alternative agricultural arable farm lands at the resettlement host sites (in the form of payments for Permission to Occupy) however it is the households duty to find adequate alternative agricultural farm land
Across India's forest areas, people are fighting for democracy, livelihood and dignity. Millions of people live in and near India's forestlands, but have no legal right to their homes, lands or livelihoods. Since times immemorial, these tribal communities of India have had an integral, close-knit relationship with the forests and have been dependent on the forests for livelihoods and existence. This is the closest possible example of mutually beneficial symbiotic relationships of man with nature. However, rights of these communities were rarely recognized by the authorities and in the absence of real ownership of the land, the already marginalized local dwellers suffered. Government officials have all power over forests and forest dwellers. This results in bad judgment calls that adversely affect both forests and people. This situation has been prevalent throughout India since before Independence. The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, otherwise known commonly as Forest Rights Act, is an important step in rectifying these ...
When learning about the field of land development at University’s, students are taking classes that demonstrate skills and thinking. Individuals have to apply planning concepts about problem solving in regional planning. Plus they have to do a demonstration on designs on regional planning and complete independent research and give group presentations. This experience helps prepare the students for the field and great job opportunities.
Having set the aims, objectives and research questions in the first chapter, this chapter zooms in to review literature available on the subject of land tenure regularization and its effect on housing investment from different parts of the world with specific reference to cities. The emphasis of this chapter is to analyse the link between land tenure regularization and housing investment in informal settlements. Also, the focus is on securing land rights in informal settlements, since it is widely believed that regularization of informal settlement rights leads to (increased) access to formal finance which subsequently encourages housing investment (Chome and McCall, 2005). The chapter starts with contextual definition of key terms, and then followed by global documentation on the impact of tenure regularization in informal settlement, focusing on the experiences of some selected countries. Since the aim of the research is to investigate the effect of land tenure regularization on informal housing investment and that both the Zambian Local Authorities and the government have intention to regularize informal settlements, lessons learnt from the case study countries will be noted, after which the chapter will be concluded in section 2.6 by way of a summary.
