| Acceptability of residential licences as quasi-land ownership documents: Evidence from Tanzania | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: June 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 85Author(s): Moses M. Kusiluka, Dorice M. ChiwamboAbstractMost of the property owners in developing countries particularly those residing in informal settlements do not have formal land ownership documents, which weakens security of tenure and denies them access to credit. In addressing the problem, various initiatives have been taken but some of them have not been very effective. This paper uses a case example of an upgraded informal settlement in Tanzania to assess acceptability of residential licences as quasi-land ownership... | ||
| Forest intensification in Ireland: Developing an approximation of social acceptability | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: June 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 85Author(s): Stefanie Duesberg, Áine Ní DhubháinAbstractIt is forecast that Ireland will experience a shortage in timber supply by 2020 due to rising demand for fuel and construction. The option to increase the wood production by expanding Ireland’s relatively low forest area of 11% is limited. Despite generous afforestation programs afforestation rates have plummeted and there is a competition for land resources with food production and other land-uses. Hence, timber supply from existing forests needs to increase, which... | ||
| Tree registration to counter elite capture of forestry benefits in Ghana’s Ashanti and Brong Ahafo regions | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: June 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 85Author(s): Cassandra Johnson Gaither, Rita Yembilah, Sparkler Brefo SamarAbstractThe regularization of rights to commercial tree species, or “tree registration,” is being promoted by the State (Forestry Commission of Ghana) and non-governmental organizations in Ghana to help minimize elite capture of forestry benefits. Our study examines smallholder farmers’ response to tree registration in selected Ashanti and Brong Ahafo Region communities. Responses are considered in light of persistent constraints farmers endure... | ||

Exploring land space utilization efficiency (LSUE) quantitatively in agricultural production, economic development and ecological maintenance can help deepen regional understanding, tap the potential of land... | ||
| Demystifying the key for intoxicating land finance in China: An empirical study through the lens of government expenditure | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: June 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 85Author(s): Peng Tang, Xiaoping Shi, Jinlong Gao, Shuyi Feng, Futian QuAbstractIn recent decades, a sharp increase in land financing has eased the fiscal restraints that existed with regard to government expenditure in China. Introducing the land financing behaviors of local governments into the interactional framework of budgetary revenues and expenditure, this paper analyzes the influence of land finance on the preferences of local fiscal expenditure. First, we propose a theoretical hypothesis on the internal logical... | ||
| Universities’ global research ambitions and their localised effects | ||

| Publication date: June 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 85Author(s): Nicola Morisson, Nikodem SzumiloAbstractThe world’s top universities compete for the best international students and staff whilst remaining socially, politically and economically intertwined with the cities that they are located in. This paper analyses this relationship through the lens of the housing market to show the impact of universities’ global research centres on local house price within five of UK’s historic cities. To date, these complex effects have been largely ignored in local and regional modelling... | ||

| Analyzing the private rental housing market in Shanghai with open data | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: June 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 85Author(s): Han Li, Yehua Dennis Wei, Yangyi WuAbstractThe failure of public housing policies and skyrocketing housing prices have made the private rental sector an increasingly important part of the housing system in Chinese metropolises. However, due to the lack of data, the private rental housing market remains poorly understood. By integrating open data, this paper comprehensively examines the spatial patterns and determinants of residential rents in Shanghai at the intra-urban level. We find that high rents are concentrated... | ||

| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: June 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 85Author(s): Andrzej Greinert, Jakub Kostecki, Yuliya VystavnaAbstractMany regions in Europe have unique and characteristic landscapes, partly resulting from historical and/or current economic activities that have become a contemporary land mark. At present, there is a trend to show these unique features by emphasizing local traditions or recreating historical ones that were often forgotten a long time ago. Viticulture is one of these activities that becomes an important element of the culture and landscape development. This is... | ||

Agricultural and forestry activities are one major anthropogenic driver of this decline. The underlying land-use changes result in the alteration of species habitats. In this context reconciling economic and ecological objectives of agricultural policies remains an ongoing challenge. In that respect, this paper... | ||

| Land tenure-related conflicts in peri-urban areas: A review | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: June 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 85Author(s): Hashem Dadashpoor, Somayeh AhaniAbstractThe rapid increase of urban population during the 21 st century has led to the expansion of metropolises and increased demand for land in peri-urban areas, which are often the object of compulsory land acquisition to cover urban development processes. Such a process leads to widespread land tenure changes in a specific system of rights, relationships, and institutions that contradict the nature of land as an essential and limited commodity. These changes continuously create the... | ||

However, the capabilities for extensive vertical exploitation of land provided by construction technology are related to the expansion of public utilities. This results in administrative restrictions on land and developments, known as Public Law... | ||

| Publication date: June 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 85Author(s): R. Góngora, M.J. Milán, F. López-i-GelatsAbstractThe livestock sector in Europe is currently undergoing multiple transformations. The challenges posed by these changes must be faced by an increasingly aged workforce. Promoting the incorporation of young farmers into the livestock sector would be crucial for ensuring that these challenges are met in the best possible way. It is generally agreed that young farmers face these challenges with greater dynamism, flexibility and adaptability. In spite of this, young people... | ||

The study is aimed at 1) diagnosing of current position NbS in the tasks and directions of planning, strategic and... | ||
| Community-based seasonal movement grazing maintains lower greenhouse gas emission intensity on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of China | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: June 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 85Author(s): Minghao Zhuang, Gongbuzeren, Jian Zhang, Wenjun LiAbstractGlobal livestock husbandry provides ecosystem goods and services but also emits 7.1 Gt CO2-eq. of greenhouse gases (GHGs) per year. To lower GHG emissions intensity, appropriate production management systems should be identified. Since the 1980s, grassland livestock husbandry in China has transformed gradually from pastoralism into individual household management under the Grassland Household Contract System Policy. However, little is known about how this... | ||
