Land Tenure Journal is a peer-reviewed, open-access flagship journal of the Climate, Energy and Tenure Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Land Tenure Journal, launched in early 2010, is a successor of the Land Reform, Land Settlement and Co-operatives, which was published between 1964 and 2009.

Includes increased priority to land reform, development versus redistribution, an economic-oriented land reform, support following land redistribution, gender, securing land tenure, poverty and marginalisation, HIV/AIDS, mineral rights and land rights.

This paper provides a brief overview of the intersection of state and customary laws governing land in peri-urban settlements around Honiara, focusing on their impact upon landowners, particularly women landowners. It suggests that the intersection of customary and state legal systems allows a small number of individuals, predominantly men, to solidify their control over customary land.

The paper presents and discusses the fact that when land is acquired, compensation paid and resettlement done, the communities still go ahead and put constraints before the Government for the purposes of hindering the development.

A well-functioning land administration and management system is crucial for Madagascar's economic and social future.

This paper elaborates and visualizes processes recorded in a recent regional and multi-site study of elevational
treeline dynamics during the period 1915 to 2007 in the Swedish Scandes. The purpose is to give a concrete face of
the landscape transformation which is associated with the recorded treeline shifts. The main focus is on stand-level

The pastoral areas of Ethiopia are witnessing radical change in terms of both increasingly restricted mobility and access to vital resources. A cause and consequence of such constraints has been a move toward sedentarised forms of livestock and agricultural production.

Understanding and measuring functional connectivity for animals with habitats that have been fragmented by human
activity requires that the biology and movement of the species be considered. We used least cost paths in GIS
to test hypotheses regarding how different species of longhorned beetles likely connect habitats with dispersal.

During the symposium “Ecosystem Services at the Landscape Scale” from the EU-IALE conference 2009, several
challenges for future research on approaches to use the concept of ecosystem services at the landscape scale were
identified, focussing on the need for integration. Three main research directions were discussed, (i) the definition

The present document emphasizes the right to food as a primary objective of the set of
public policies concerned with economic and social development. Achieving this
objective depends on responsible governance of land and other natural resources. The
importance of land lies in the fact that it often represents a direct link with cultural

In this article, I address whether activities meant to improve land tenure security may havesupported or undermined peace-building during the postwar stabilization and transitionperiod of 2005–2008. In 2005, the population of Aceh began recovery from both a 29-yearseparatist war and the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. Property and tenure systems wereseverely damaged by both the war and tsunami.

This training course from the Global Land Tool Network is part of the Network’s activities on Islamic dimensions of land. In most Muslim countries, Islamic law, principles and practices make an important contribution to shaping access to land.
