    Key findings:
    "There is no landlessness in the village
    and the shifting cultivation land is divided
    equitably for farming. However,

    Myanmar

    The present study on Myanmar focuses on customary tenure among upland ethnic
    nationalities, where colonial and state land administration systems have been poorly integrated,
    allowing customary systems to be sustained over time. Much like under British colonial power, the
