Current research and opinion on land governance for societal development in and on the global south

Abstract

The articles analysed and presented in this editorial are from the Special Issue (SI) entitled, Current Research and Opinion on Land Governance for Societal Development in and on the Global South, curated from an e-conference that brought together many diverse scholars and practitioners from across the global land community. These articles can become multi- inter- and cross-disciplinary reference material for in-class and on-field education and learning in land studies. Their knowledge base covers specific subjects on land use planning, urban development, land administration, land governance, land policy, rural development, land management, real estate, land tenure, property rights and gender and women concerns (to mention a few). All scholars within the land profession—whether in the business, geography, sociology, area studies, anthropology, planning, engineering and the built environment disciplines—are encouraged to read, use and apply this knowledge base in their distinct roles in the land sector or land-related activities.
