Depuis plus de cinq ans, le projet WOLTS (Women’s Land Tenure Security) étudie le croisement entre les relations de genre et de droits fonciers dans les communautés pastorales affectées par l’exploitation minière en Mongolie et en Tanzanie.
Эмэгтэйчүүдийн Газар Эдэлбэрийн Эрхийн Баталгаат Байдал төсөл нь (ЭГЭЭББ) сүүлийн таван жилийн хугацаанд Монгол, Танзани улсуудад уул уурхайн нөлөөнд өртсөн нүүдэлч малчин иргэдийн жендер болон газрын харилцааны хамаарлыг судаллаа. Тус ажлын үндсэн зорилго нь орон нутгийн иргэдтэй урт хугацаанд хамтран ажиллаж, тэдний чадавхийг хөгжүүлснээр эмзэг бүлгийнхний газрын эрхийг хамгаалах явдал юм. Ингэснээр нутгийн иргэдийн газрын эрхийг хамгаалахад дэмжлэг үзүүлж, газар эдэлбэрийн засаглалд хүйсийн тэгш байдлыг нэвтрүүлэх юм.
Kwa zaidi ya miaka mitano, Mradi wa Usalama wa Umiliki wa Ardhi kwa Wanawake (WOLTS) umekuwa ukichunguza uhusiano wa kijinsia na ardhi katika jamii za wafugaji zilizoathiriwa na uchimbaji wa madini Mongolia na Tanzania. Lengo limekuwa ni kutengeneza mbinu ya ushiriki wa jamii kwa muda mrefu na kujenga uwezo wa kulinda na kusaidia haki za ardhi za watu wote walio katika mazingira magumu na hivyo kuelekeza nguvu katika usawa wa kijinsia, usimamizi na umiliki wa ardhi kwa mfumo ambao utarahisisha maboresho katika haki za ardhi kwa jamii yote.
Land consolidation is a highly effective land management instrument that allows for the improvement of the structure of agricultural holdings and farms in a country, which increases their economic and social efficiency and brings benefits both to right holders as well as to society in general. Since land consolidation gives mobility to land ownership and other land rights, it may also facilitate the allocation of new areas with specific purposes other than agriculture, such as for public infrastructure or nature protection and restoration.

The future belongs to youth. But in many parts of the world, young women and men lack the means and the opportunity to build livelihoods and fully participate in their communities. This is especially true in rural areas, where agriculture is the foundation of the economy, but land rights remain out of reach.
Consider the case of sub-Saharan Africa, where an estimated 10-12 million young people enter the workforce each year, but only 4 million new jobs are created, leaving the majority of young workers either unemployed or settling for menial and informal work.
À Madagascar, une réforme foncière menée entre 2005 et 2021 a été basée sur l’enregistrement des droits de propriété privée via des certificats fonciers (voir fiche « Où en est la réforme foncière malgache ? »).
Accessibility to transportation is a crucial factor for economic growth. Transportation land, defined as the land used to support transportation infrastructure, such as city and inter-city rail, ports, and air travel, is a critical element for constructing transportation facilities and has attracted increasing attention from researchers and policy makers.
Objectives: Few studies have examined the impacts of structural differences in the urban–rural dichotomy under the new household registration policy on migration and settlement behavior. Nevertheless, the rationale for the settlement policy of local governments should be further elucidated and improved. This study aims to analyze the household registration, land property rights, and differences in migrants’ settlement intentions. Methods: This study used migration survey data from the Pearl River Delta and probit regression to fill this gap in the literature.
Increasing land use pressure is a primary force for degradation of agricultural areas. The drivers for these pressures are initiated by a series of interconnected processes. This study presents a novel methodology to analyze drivers of changing land use pressure and the effects on society and landscape. The focus was on characterizing these drivers and relate them to land use statistics obtained from geospatial data from the important semiarid Merguellil Wadi between 1976 and 2016.
Redressing land dispossession in the aftermath of violent conflicts is daunting and complex. While land dispute resolution and restitution are expected to promote return migration, this outcome is contingent upon the changing social, economic and political conditions under which return takes place. Drawing on qualitative data from Makamba Province in southern Burundi, this case study highlights the politically and historically shaped challenges underlying the resolution of competing and overlapping claims on land following protracted displacement.
The existing literature explains well how dual urbanization promotes land development and spatial expansion in China, but few studies have examined the emergence of state-led and village-led land development by measuring the urban expansion ratio from the perspective of institutional arrangements. To fill this gap, this study examines the spatial pattern and evolution of urban expansion and then explains the institutional dynamics in evolving different spatial forms of land development in Guangzhou. Among the findings of our research, two important points merit special attention.
