Produktbeschreibung

Advances in Responsible Land Administration challenges conventional forms of land administration by introducing alternative approaches and provides the basis for a new land administration theory. A compilation of observations about responsible land administration in East Africa, it focuses on a new empirical foundation rather than preexisting ideals. Presenting practical knowledge resulting from real cases, it incorporates empirical studies highlighting Rwanda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya.

The book considers contemporary change forces that include responsible technological innovation, post-conflict contexts, rural poverty, rapid urbanization, food security, and citizen participation. It covers land information system design, innovative data capture tools and techniques, and algorithms and approaches to support land consolidation and pastoralist land administration.The bookalso evaluates the outcomes of approaches specifically geared toward workflow design, land use changes, land tenure perceptions, conflict reduction, and governance measures.

Outlining key aspects of what fit for purpose land administration looks like, this book presents:

• Acontemporary update for the land administration sector
• An overview of East African developments, a current focus region for innovative land administration design
• Acollection of cutting-edge tools from practice and for practice-with enough support data and methodological underpinnings to be readily utilized for advocacy, design, and assessment

Advances in Responsible Land Administration is an up-to-date discourse that promotes the theoretical notion of responsible land administration. The book highlights real cases, provides real data, and introduces novel alternatives to conventional methodologies in land administration.

Jaap Zevenbergen is a full professor of land administration and management at the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands. He has extensive experience with the design and evaluation of recording or registration of land tenure rights, legal restrictions, and other land information in the Netherlands, Eastern Europe, and numerous developing countries. Currently, his main focus is on innovative land tools, especially to expand tenure security to the legitimate, previously unrecorded rights of the poor and underprivileged. He is also a member of the advisory board of the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) and LANDac, the Dutch Academy for Land Governance. Walter de Vries is an associate professor and chair of land management at the Technical University Munich in Germany. With an M.Sc in geodesy and a Ph.D in public administration, Dr. de Vries conducts research dealing with the implementation and effects of land information infrastructures and capacity development for cadastres and land administration organizations. In addition, he is currently senior editor of the Electronic Journal of Information Systems in Developing Countries (EJISDC). He manages a variety of courses in land administration and geo-information management, and has more than 25 years of experience in development assistance projects in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Rohan Bennett is an assistant professor at the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands. He has experience in land administration design and assessment in African and Asian countries. His research focuses on better aligning the societal demands of tenure security, food security, and climate change with the technological opportunities presented by low-cost global navigation satellite systems (GNSS), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and cloud-/crowd-based geo-services. He holds degrees in geomatic engineering and information systems from the University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia, and earned a Ph.D from the same institution in 2008. He is also a reviewer for numerous international journals and conference series.
