Land is a critical resource in Kenya, having economic, social, political,
environmental and cultural significance. Kenya’s population continues to rely
on land for both subsistence and economic activities. In fact, the increase
of the population from about 20 million people in the 1960s to about 40
million currently, has put enormous pressure on land. Only a third of Kenya’s
land is arable while the rest is arid and semi-arid. With most Kenyans still
living off the land, contestations over access to, control over and ownership

Urban Sprawl is the spreading out of a city and its suburbs over more and more rural land at the periphery of an urban area. This involves the conversion of rural land into built up, developed land over time. Sprawl is characterised by one or more existing patterns of development. Those most frequently mentioned are low-density, leapfrogging, distance to central facilities, dispersion of employment and residential development, and continuous strip development.

The study discusses land-degradation in pastoral communities and depicts land-use system and associated human and livestock population pressure as the major determinant of vegetation cover, surface run-off, soil erosion, and species richness. The study recommends use of enclosures to reverse range degradation, and diversification of pastoral economies to reduce poverty and relieve pressure on land as the primary source of livelihood in the semi-arid rangelands of Kenya

The study was undertaken to investigate how land use and soil fertility management practices affect the occurrence of nematode destroying fungi. The aim of the study was to harness the potential of these fungi to control the plant parasitic nematodes in the study area which is a very important vegetable catchment in the Coast Province of Kenya

The elements of Land Administration in Kenya are very fragmented and independently operated
within the Ministry of Lands. During institutional reform there is opportunity to provide a much
more integrated Land Administration service to the citizens, especially at the district level
through the formation of ‘one-stop-shops’, through the integration and rationalization of the
existing land administration and land rights delivery systems.
This project report highlights the benefits offered through the application of GIS in management

This research paper evaluates land tenure and land registration process in Maua
Location of Meru North district of Kenya. It comes at a time when Kenyans are
pressurizing the government increasingly to issue title deeds not only at the Coast
province but also all over the country (GoK -Ministry of Lands). Maua Location is of
concern owing to the fact that the land registration process has been on going since
1966. This is a long time (43 years) for the land registration process not to have been

Understanding of runoff sources and sinks coupled with development of rubost models
that provide rapid and less expensive assessment of the impacts of land management on
surface runoff is critical in the management of soil and water resources. In this study, a
stratified sampling procedure was used to set up 51 runoff plots on representative land
use types on the three slope zones in the landscape. On each slope zone a completely
randomized design was utilized. Runoff measurements were done for 120 rainfall events

Soil physical and hydrological properties of kabete soils were
evaluated at three different land use sites namely forest,
grass la n d , and cropland sites. The purpose of this work was to
determine the effect of selected land uses on phy si caI and
hydrological characteristics of the kabete soils in Kenya.
Soil samples for this study were collected from the College of
Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences (CAVS), field station. Soil
samples for the determination of bulk density, organic matter

Survey of Kenya is the country's institution charged with the
responsibility of collecting, checking, storing and disseminating Land
parcel related records.
Of late efforts have been made to digitize these records and form a
database. However the majority of the records are in paper form.
Dissemination of this data, done through a search, is still manual. The
public fill a search form and pay a small fee, and the records are
reproduced to them in form of a filled and dully signed form or map or
