The Illegal Land Use Research Project
People around the world use land without any right or title to the land. This illegal land use may take different shapes. Persons without any access to land occupy and cultivate or build on land belonging to other people. Land owners move the boundaries of their land and extend their houses or gardens onto their neighbour’s land.
