This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines current trends in customary land issues in Africa, focusing on the practice of converting customary land into leasehold tenure, particularly in Zambia. Since the enactment of the 1995 Lands Act No. 29 in Zambia, conversion of customary land has become a controversial policy, raising questions about the future of customary land and rural communities, and the role of traditional authorities in a changing environment. Alienating customary land into leasehold tenure has serious implications for local and national politics and gender dynamics. Analysis of these trends suggests that the policy of creating land markets on customary land is subjecting customary systems to the forces of change. However, governments that have adopted this policy have not, by and large, adopted measures to respond to these challenges. Although customary tenure is widely believed to be resilient, it is not clear how the customary system will navigate the current winds of change. Chapters in this book draw from the Land Use and Rural Livelihoods in Africa Project (LURLAP), a collaborative research project undertaken by staff and students at the University of Cape Town and the University of Zambia.

Download or read book Problems Associated with Changing Land Tenure in the Calapooia Drainage Basin written by Dennis Richard Thomason and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The land tenure system in the United States contains a variety of tenure types. A major characteristic of this tenure system is the continual change of tenure types within a given region. As these tenure types change, problems of a cultural, economic, and legal nature are created and interact with the tenure system. The purpose of this study is two fold: First, the examination and analysis of the land tenure system in the Calapooia Drainage Basin to determine tenure types, past and present trends of land tenure, and possible future tenure type composition within this region, and second, analysis of selected problems associated with the change in tenure types and the resulting overall effect on the region. The analysis revealed several trends: the decrease in the number of farms, with an increase in the size of the farms; increased urban migration to rural areas; and increasing single female (widow) ownership. In view of these trends and related problems, it is concluded that the present grass seed industry would continue its present decline over the next two decades, and that the agricultural land base would be converted to residential home sites and associated urban functions. It is also concluded that if the grass seed industry were to continue in its present form, a number of changes must be instigated. These changes include: (1) effective and enforced county zoning, (2) a more viable rent contract for agricultural land, (3) the revision of the present tax structure to facilitate a proportional distribution of taxes in rural areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across Africa land is being commodified: private ownership is replacing communal and customary tenure; Farms are turned into collateral for rural credit markets. Law reform is at the heart of this revolution. The Politics of Land Reform in Africa casts a critical spotlight on this profound change in African land economy. The book illuminates the key role of legislators, legal consultants and academics in tenure reform. These players exert their influence by translating the economic and regulatory interests of the World Bank, civil society groups and commercial lenders in to questions of law. Drawing on political economy and actor-network theory The Politics of Land Reform in Africa is an indispensable contribution to the study of agrarian change in developing countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a significant contribution to the literature on land reform in various African contexts. While the economic evidence is clear that secure property rights are a necessary condition for catalysing broad-based economic development, the governance process by which those rights are secured is less clear. This book details the historical complexity of land rights and the importance of understanding this history in the process of trying to improve tenure security. Through a combination of single country case studies, comparative case studies and regional comparisons, the book is unequivocal that good governance is paramount for improving the performance of land reform programmes. All attempts at moving towards more formal secure tenure require congruence with informal norms, beliefs and values, and a set of clear systems and processes to avoid corruption and unintended negative consequences.
