Abstract:

The topical issues of agricultural lands efficient use and prudent management are considered in the article. The national land policy implementation mechanism, the ways of government influence on the development of land matters in Russia and on the actions of land matters participants are analyzed in the paper. Current legal and regulatory framework applied for land regulation in Russian Federation is considered. The study of Russian land policy state highlighted a number of current problems associated with inefficiency of the existing government system of land regulation and the need to improve the legislative support of agricultural land transactions. Furthermore, the issues of use and care of agricultural lands of all categories remain largely unaddressed. Within the scope of conducted study the ways of improving the national policy applicable to the land proper use are suggested.

Abstract:

Land policy is crucial to Vietnam’s socioeconomic development. Yet, land policy in Vietnam often is short-sighted, resulting in inequities and a form of commons tragedy. In this essay, the author reviews the evolving land policy in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, pointing out inconsistencies and shortcomings. The essay concludes with recommendations to improve policy and the long-term well-being of Vietnam and its people; specifically, several events should occur for Vietnam to achieve middle-income status by 2020, as the government of Vietnam intends. Rapid industrialization and modernization should continue; land currently used for agriculture (particularly rice) need to be converted to industrial parks; residential areas, and infrastructure; and all land should be used in ways that yields the highest social returns. Public investment should help boost agricultural (and land) productivity; and environmental (and land) management should ensure that the institutions and incentives support environmental sustainability.

Abstract:

The research studies the issue of ecological stability of rural territories that is the most important component of the national environmental policy of Ukraine. A special attention is paid to degradation of arable lands as the main ecological problem of land management. On the example of Lviv region, the authors calculated the index of ecological nonconformity of current use of arable lands, proving a considerable excess of permissible ploughing of lands in the region. The carried analysis confirms that no measures were performed concerning land protection, including conservation that in the recent years. In this context it is necessary to improve land resources management on the basis of sustainable development. Integration is considered to be the main principle of land resources management. The research proves that solution of ecological problems of land management requires achievement of a set of coordinated targets concerning development of rural territories, land resources management and national environmental policy based on the principles of suitable development. The targets include: planning of land use outside settled areas on the landscape and ecological basis; land inventory; formation of the land bank of agricultural lands; development and support of alternative kinds of activity on rural area; development of an efficient mechanism to encourage performance of land protection measures; improvement of environmental responsibility of population and development of ecological education. The methodological basis of the research is the concept of sustainable development, which expects support for a continuous character of development in order to meet the current needs along with ensuring the needs of future generations. The fulfilment of the task requires examination of scientific works on the issue of sustainable management of land resources and an ecological component of rural territory development.

Abstract:

Current contestations over land as a public or private good revolve around the issue of who owns, controls and manages it. Particularly, after the second April uprising of 2006, indigenous people, have emerged as a new actor in land policy demanding equitable rights for state’s power and resources. However, these claims have been countered by non-indigenous people. The disagreements are strong and the institutional bargaining for a share in land ownership has been tough. Currently, the Ministry of Land Reform and Management is in the process of drafting the National Land Policy. While this draft land policy has addressed the issues of the indigenous people to some extent, the larger approach has been piecemeal and short sighted. If we were to look for a long-term solution, it would be essential to think about major concerns of the marginalized and indigenous group and develop a coherent strategy to address their demand. This paper tries to study and analyze the multiple contestations over land in context of the emergence of indigenous group as an important stakeholder and makes an attempt to come up with a policy option that is rational and far-sighted addressing the multiple intra-group claims.

Abstract:

One of the objects of Agrarian Reform in West Sumatra is the Ulayat Land. The practice is carried out by changing the status of Ulayat Land to state land through the mechanism of release by Niniak Mamak. Ulayat Land is a plot of heritage land and its natural resources obtained from generations as regulated by local governments both in designation and utilization. This study aims to explain why Ulayat Land is used as a Land Object of Agrarian Reform (TORA) in West Sumatra and why the mechanism of giving is individually and not collectively. With qualitative methods, this study analyzes the process and mechanism of assigning TORA Objects sourced from Ulayat Land to their redistribution. This study found that the determination of Ulayat Land to be state land which was then distributed to the Domo Tribe as one of the solutions offered by the Dharmasraya Regency Land Office and approved by the Nagari Customary Density (KAN). This policy is considered the best solution to save the Ulayat Land of the Domo Tribe, West Sumatra. The author concludes, to keep Ulayat Land maintained, the redistribution mechanism can be used to save Ulayat Land because all control is still under indigenous institutions (KAN). Even de jure, these lands have been redistributed to members of indigenous communities.

Perlindungan Lahan Pertanian Pangan Berkelanjutan (PLP2B ‐ Sustainable Farm Land Protection) is agovernment policy aimed to prevent farm land conversion. It has been implemented among others inDemak Regency, which is one of the region’s main food source. The study identified the potential andchallenges of the implementation of the policy through the method of superimpose between the plannedmap and the actual land use conversion, supported by land conversion data from the Land Office andinterview with selected sources. The study showed that land conversion is still occurring and that thereare mismatches between the planned map and the actual condition. Interviews suggested that there stillvast measure of farm land available still for improvement into sustainable farm lands. Challenges emergefrom the high demand for housing areas, illegal land conversion and lack of policy socialization to thecommunity.Keywords: land conversion, planning map, factors affecting the implementation of policy

Abstract:

Abstract A land allocation model quantifies the influence of timber benefits, agricultural benefits, population, and land attributes on nonindustrial forestland allocation in the Pacific Northwest. The proportion of land in forest use only gradually changes and may be unresponsive to markets for land products or market-based policy instruments such as reforestation cost subsidies. Consequently, economic responses to policies may take place within forest rotations, which could change the mix of timber and nontimber benefits from private forests in favor of timber. If joint production of timber and nontimber benefits on private lands is to be considered a policy goal, new policy instruments may be needed. For. Sci. 40(3):558-575.

Abstract:

Limited land is available globally to grow crops for food and fuel. There are direct and indirect pressures on forests and other lands to be converted from growing food for feedstock to be used for biofuel production. The balance of evidence indicates there will probably be sufficient appropriate land available to meet demands for both food and fuel, but this needs to be confirmed before global supply of biofuel is allowed to increase significantly. There is a future for a sustainable biofuels industry, but feedstock production must avoid encroaching on agricultural land that would otherwise be used for food production. And while advanced technologies offer significant potential for higher greenhouse gas (GHG) savings through biofuels, these will be offset if feedstock production uses existing agricultural land and prevents land-use change. GHG savings can be achieved by using feedstock grown mainly on marginal land or that does not use land, such as wastes and residues. To ensure that biofuels deliver net GHG benefits, governments should amend, but not abandon, their biofuel policies in recognition of the dangers from indirect effects of land-use changes. Large areas of uncertainty remain in the overall impacts and benefits of biofuels. International action is needed in order to improve data, models and controls, and to understand and to manage effects.

Abstract:

Corporate mobilization can be made realistic if policy facilitation is provided by the government sector. This research study aimed at exploring the possibility of a mechanism that will attract substantial investments from the private sector by mobilizing the existing capital market. To do so, the research within its objective framework examined the essential policy framework from the literature review, the existing legal, financial and planning and housing policies posing impediments to the prospective participation of the corporate sector in land and housing activities. This included but not necessarily restricted to the land administration, land legislatives, cadastral mapping system and current planning techniques used and the operational constraints it would pose upon the prospective mobilization of the corporate financing in land and housing development. The research study then finally intended to arrive at the framework that could possibly facilitate or promote corporate finance in land and housing sector in a greater way. The finding from the research is then translated into a framework for increased participation for corporate sector in land and housing that chiefly included following aspects.

Abstract:

Related to the functions of the central state and local state, a range of interventions in the urban land-development process may be pursued. Typically, policies and practices related to land are devised at different times for different purposes and are administered by different agencies. Rarely are the relationships between them, their implementation, and their overall impact considered systematically, especially for developing countries. In this paper I evaluate urban land policy in Zimbabwe. I consider tenure, land-use planning and development control, taxation, and direct public sector intervention in the land market. Particular attention is given to the local administrative context and to the relationship between central and local government as portrayed in the paths of land delivery for private developers, municipalities, and central government. The overall conclusion is that Zimbabwe's urban land administration system works effectively. However, it is formal and complex, which is restricting its ability to play an appropriate role in catering for rapid urban growth and the needs of low-income residents.

Abstract:

From the mid–1800s through the mid–1980s, the federal government initiated programs to manage three types of resources on the lands that it controlled. The discovery of gold in California and elsewhere in the West prompted the first government policy in the 1860s. Debate over the nation's forests began in the 1870s, and a system of national forests to be managed by a federal Forest Service was created in the late 1800s and early 1900s. And in the 1930s, the government finally began to manage the lands no one wanted, its grazing lands. The federal government continues to be an active manager of national resources. Indeed, with control of nearly 30 percent of the nation's land, it is the largest land manager in the country.

Abstract:

This paper is related to the application of the land policies implemented in France in 2nd half of the 20th century, and their consequences on the economy of the agricultural sector and the operation of the farms. Starting from a framework of historical and institutional analysis, the object of this research is to analyse the economic and institutional determinants of these land policies. In France of small landowners, the existence of the right of ownership is considered as an obstacle for a fast evolution of the structures of farms which are sufficient size to implement technological progress allowing the profits of productivity. The aim of the land policy followed in France since the end of the Second World War was to encourage the development of such farms. The main measures were the statute of the tenant farming, the control of the structures and the control of the land market by the SAFER. This policy is implemented at a departmental level by the representatives of the Farmers Unions and generally supports the access to the land for young farmers or the middle-sized farmers.

Abstract:

This paper analyses the impact of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and macroeconomy on land use changes in the EU. Three scenarios are simulated up to 2030: baseline, macro scenario and policy scenario. Simulation results indicate that GDP leads to a stronger effect on land use changes than the CAP. Stronger changes in land use are observed at the crop disaggregated level than at the aggregated level for the total agricultural area, arable land, grassland and permanent crops.

Abstract:

Agricultural crops take up water, but not salt, and evaporation from irrigated land does likewise. The result is increasing salt levels in soils. Just as cities cannot ignore urban wastewater collection and treatment, irrigating farmers and irrigation districts cannot ignore what to do with the salt in agricultural drainage water. Although salt management techniques can seem straightforward, the long-term sustainability of irrigation in arid and semi-arid areas, where most irrigation takes place remains a challenge. Salt-induced land degradation is on the rise in several major river basins. Salt-affected lands remain valuable resources that cannot be easily abandoned, given their importance for food security and regional economies, as well as the significant investments in infrastructure that have been made on these lands. This policy note discusses the status of salt-induced land degradation and addresses two key questions: Why has progress been so limited in addressing salt-induced land degradation? And what measures could be taken to prevent and reverse such degradation?

Abstract:

The article discusses issues of private property and rent of agricultural land use. Land policy in the field of agricultural land use in the post-reform period of the transition from the state and collective ownership of land to more individualized and sensitive structure of land ownership is not realized, the state "did not leave the land" and continues to rent unjustifiably large areas of productive agricultural land for short-term period of 3-5 years, provoking their depleting use, vicious practice of unwise consumption, encourages the excessive concentration of agricultural land for individuals to displace small and medium-sized agricultural business from agricultural production. It also attracts land speculators buying up agricultural land and creating the deficit in abundance; they are re-lease lands at a ten-fold rental payment, appropriating land rent owned by municipalities (rent in the regions of the Central Black Earth Economic Region exceeds the land tax calculated at an unreasonably underestimated tax rate of 0.3% by 60 times). The present-time land policy should focus on existing problems to ensure free access to land, protect the rights of land ownership, develop the land market, ensure environmental sustainability, and combat poverty. It is important to determine the current range of issues with which land policy must deal, highlight priority areas for improving it and organize the relevant activities of the state in the field of regulation of land relations.

Abstract:

We highlight the extraordinary growth in private conservation via land trusts and conservation easements and describe the problems arising from the interplay of public finance and private decisions. We offer a framework for understanding the popularity of easements and land trusts and for evaluating policy reforms aimed at improving their performance. The framework, grounded in institutional and organizational economics in the tradition of Ronald Coase, Oliver Williamson, and Yoram Barzel, focuses on the measurement and monitoring costs faced by public and private stakeholders under current and prospective policy arrangements. We illustrate how the framework can be applied to contemporary debates about the appropriate tax treatment of donated easements, requirements that they be held in perpetuity, and the extent to which government should regulate private land trusts.

Abstract:

Land use changes have important implications on ecosystems and society. Detailed identification of the nature of land use changes in any local region is critical for policy design. In this paper, we quantify land use change in Iowa’s Loess Hills ecoregion, which contains much of the state’s remaining prairie grasslands. We employ two distinct panel datasets, the National Resource Inventory data and multi-year Cropland Data Layers, that allow us to characterize spatially-explicit land use change in the region over the period 1982-2010. We analyze land use trends, land use transitions and crop rotations within the ecoregion, and contrast these with county and state-level changes. To better comprehend the underlying land use changes, we evaluate our land use characterizing metrics conditional on soil quality variables such as slope and erodibility. We also consider the role of contemporary agricultural policy and commodity markets to seek explanations for land use changes during the period of our study. Although crop production has expanded on the Loess Hills landform since 2005, much of the expansion in corn acres has been from reduced soybean acreage. We find that out of the total 258 km2 increase in corn acreage during 2005-’10, about 100 km2 transitioned from soybeans. Data also indicate intensifying monoculture with higher percentage of corn plantings for two to four consecutive years during 2000-’10. In addition, crop production is found to have moved away from more heavily sloped land. Cropping does not appear to have increased on lands with higher crop productivity.
