Land Tenure and Policy Issues in Land Use Planning

Land is the basis of human society because it provides food, water, energy, clothing and shelter. Land resources, however, are finite and becoming scarce in Africa and elsewhere. Problems of inappropriate land uses, population growth, over-exploitation of natural assets and environmental degradation are complex and long-term. They are exacerbated by their linkage with poverty, inequality and social conflicts because many people have inadequate access to land or to the benefits from its use. It is commonly agreed that tenure of land - and land policy in a broader context - is a fundamental variable in agrarian and rural development. Land tenure insecurity, associated with local political conflicts and gender inequality, for example can be a key factor in land degradation (The World Bank, Agenda 21,FAO).

FAO/UNEP Workshop on Integrated Planning and Management of Land Resources

Integrated land-use planning (ILUP) is a prerequisite for the sustainable management and development of land resources. This approach seeks to meet this objective by a better balancing of all relevant aspects (biophysical, technical, socio-economic, legal, institutional and social) in land-use planning. In particular, it stresses the importance of engaging the stakeholders and recognizing their different objectives through a platform for negotiationoutlining the characteristics of an enabling institutional and policy environment at local, sub-national, and national levelsensuring an accessible knowledge baseand providing a set of planning procedures. The guidelines which were the topic of this workshop are intended to be used by professional and technical practitioners of land-use planning and land resource management at national, subnational and village levels.
