Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics, Urban Management, Planning, grade: 2.1, Federal University of Technology, Owerri (Environmental science), course: Urban and Regional Planning, language: English, abstract: This study focuses on the challenges and prospects of land registration in Akure South local government area of Ondo state, Nigeria. Many land owners have outdated documents regarding their land, or do not even have documents to show that they are truly the owner of the land that they claim to be theirs. This has caused a lot of problems in time past, where people fight and sometimes go as far as killing themselves over land disputes. Also, on the side of the government it has been difficult for them to keep a comprehensive record of land owners because most of them won’t come to register. Land registration issues are more dominant among private estates because the registration of most government owned estates are done when allocating the land. A multi-stage sampling technique was used, and the stratified random sampling technique was used for the estates selected within Akure south, then the Simple random sampling technique was used to obtain the respondents within the respective estates. From the research carried out, the findings showed that many land owners are aware of the implication of not registering their land, and they wish to register their land but they feel the process of registration is too complicated, stressful and expensive, some don’t even know how to properly get their land registered and they end up getting duped by fraudsters, while a few of them fear that their land might be revoked if they go back to government for registration. The Solutions proposed to thesechallenges is to first create awareness on how to properly get a land registered, and also make land owners know the importance and benefit of registering, creating a stronger data base that would replace the old pen and paper style which is long outdated, introducing the Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) which would help to capture and store data of land owners effectively, reduce the time frame used in carrying out the registration process to make it less stressful and discouraging, lastly to subsidize the registration fee for the first set of people who come to register after the awareness is made.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains the proceedings of the third in a now-biennial series organized by the Wessex Institute of Technology around the urgent need to determine solutions regarding sustainable development before our planet reaches a point of irreversibility. The aggressive search for new sources of energy and materials, the rapid rate at which natural resources are being consumed, and the destructiveness of the resulting pollution are all having a negative impact on the planet that needs to be stopped, if not reversed. As at the first two, participants at this conference will take stock of our situation and try to facilitate constructive principles and policies for a way forward, something that can only be done by transdisciplinary cooperation. Thus papers will examine ethical, political and social issues, health, safety and risk, lessons from nature, planning and development, and new technologies.

Varied case-studies, including Mexico City, Bogota and Shanghai, reflect the differing economic, cultural and political regimes of the modern world and ensure the continued value of this comprehensive work.
