Assessing the long-term performance of large-scale land transfers: Challenges and opportunities in Malawi’s estate sector

We use data from the complete computerization of agricultural leases in Malawi, a georeferenced farm survey, and satellite imagery to document challenges and opportunities of land-based investment in novel ways. Covering some 1.35 million hectares or about 25% of the country’s arable area, agricultural estates are an important part of Malawi’s rural economy. However, the analysis shows that 70% of these estates have expired leases, reducing government revenue from ground rent by up to US$35 million or 5% of the total public spending annually. The low quality of spatial records, as indicated by the fact that some 140,000 hectares under estates are subject to overlapping claims could preclude the land market participation, especially under longer-term contracts. Data from a 2006/07 survey suggest that estates’ yield, productivity, and intensity of land use are below those of small farms. While the recently passed land laws create a basis for low-cost systematic demarcation and registration of rights to customary land, our analysis suggests that, to maximize their likely contribution to increasing productivity and welfare rather than conflict, such efforts need to be preceded by a clarification of boundaries and lease status of existing estates and ideally a more detailed study of the reasons underpinning the low productivity.

Organization of activities for conducting single state registry of real estate on the example of Moscow

In accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 1 of Federal Law No. 218-FZ of July 13, 2015 On State Registration of Real Estate (hereinafter - Law No. 218-FZ), the Unified State Real Estate Register is a collection of reliable, systematized information on the accounted in accordance with Law No. 218-FZ real estate, including the registered rights to such immovable property, the grounds for their occurrence, rightholders, as well as other information established in accordance with Law No. 218-FZ. According to Article 1 of Law No. 218-FZ, state registration of rights to immovable property is a legal act of recognition and confirmation of the occurrence, change, transfer, termination of the right of a certain person to immovable property or restriction of such right and encumbrance of immovable property. The procedure for state registration of rights is made by entering in the Unified State Register of Real Estate records of the right to such property, the information of which is included in the Unified State Register of Real Estate. In his article authors gives the main changes introduced by the Law No. 218-FZ and are taken into account when organizing the maintenance of the Unified State Real Estate Register, and also analyzes the results of the activities for maintaining and providing information from the Unified State Real Estate Register in the territory of Moscow.

Analysis of errors identified in the implementation and management of the real estate cadastre

One of the most common reasons for the suspension of the procedure for state cadastral registration, or state registration of rights to real estate are errors that are contained in the information of the real estate cadastre. The presence of errors in the Unified state register of real estate, including mistakes in title documents for real estate, is the basis for the suspension and refusal in the state cadastral registration and further registration of rights to real estate. In such circumstances, the applicant is compelled to prove violation of his rights. If there is an error in the information of the real estate cadastre regarding the real estate object, such errors are automatically exported to various databases and as a consequence lead to a large number of errors in the information of the real estate cadastre as well as various registers and cadastres. With the enactment of the Federal Law of 13.07.2015 No. 218 On State registration of real estate the procedure for correcting mistakes in the Unified state register of real estate has been substantially simplified. In their article, the authors analyze the current situation of the real estate cadastre databases and give examples of the most common in practice technical errors in the management and implementation of the real estate cadastre.

THEORETICAL AND LEGAL ANALYSIS OF DETERMINING THE VOLUME OF INHERITANCE PROPERTY OF SPOUSES AND PERSONS LEGALLY EQUALIZED TO SPOUSES

The academic paper provides a theoretical and legal analysis of the amount of inherited property of spouses and persons legally equated to spouses. The research is based on an analysis of the inheritance rights of subjects: persons who have registered a marriage in accordance with the procedure established by law and persons legally equated to spouses.It has been established that the determination of the volume of inherited property is the first and major stage in the process of opening an inheritance by a notary.It has been determined that the amount of inherited property of the spouses includes equal shares, however, the shares of each spouse may differ according to the circumstances as follows: the acquisition of property during the regime of separate residence of the spouses, conclusion of a marriage contract, a contract on the division of the spouses’ property, an inheritance agreement. It has been proved that the regime of separate residence of spouses creates problems in determining the amount of inherited property of spouses in terms of establishing the moment of termination of such a regime and measuring the share of common property that they have acquired after its termination. The features of the marriage contract in terms of assigning the spouses’ property rights have been established.It has been revealed that the disadvantage of a marriage contract is the absence of a requirement for its registration in the State Register of Rights to Immovable Property after notarization. It has been found that the agreement on the division of the spouses’ property somewhat complicates the determination of the volume of the spouses’ inherited property, forasmuch as after its conclusion, further acquisition of property into ownership is possible, which will not be defined in the contract; and, therefore, it may acquire a different legal regime than the property specified in the contract. It has been established that the conclusion of an inheritance agreement excludes the inclusion of the property determined by it in the hereditary estate, and the transfer of property under an inheritance agreement is not a type of inheritance.It has been proven that persons living in de facto marital relations are only partially equated to spouses in inheritance rights. The grounds for the emergence of actual marriage relations have been highlighted. It has been proposed to make alterations to the family legislation of Ukraine, which would improve the legal regulation of the amount of inherited property of spouses and persons legally equated to spouses.

3D CADASTRE – A MOTIVATION AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS OF TECHNICAL ASPECTS

<jats:p>The paper gives motivation for considering a 3D cadastre based on the registration of 3D spatial units, i.e. the (bounded) amount of space to which a person is entitled by means of real right. This approach gives a better insight into the registration of rights and restrictions. In 2012 the international standard ISO 19152 Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) was approved. The LADM is a conceptual model, its purpose is not to replace the existing systems, but rather to provide a formal language for describing them, so that their similarities and differences can be better understood and it also offers the concepts for the modelling of 3D spatial units. Based on the LADM, country profiles can then be defined and extended. The paper further explores the technical aspects of a 3D cadastre, especially summarizing the main findings and challenges in 3D information modelling and 3D spatial databases for a 3D cadastre.</jats:p>

Towards 3D Cadastre in Serbia: Development of Serbian Cadastral Domain Model

This paper proposes a Serbian cadastral domain model as the country profile for the real estate cadastre, based on the Land Administration Domain Model (LADM), defined within ISO 19152. National laws and other legal acts were analyzed and the incorrect applications of the law are outlined. The national “Strategy of measures and activities for increasing the quality of services in the field of geospatial data and registration of real property rights in the official state records”, which was adopted in 2017, cites the shortcomings of the existing cadastral information system. The proposed profile can solve several problems with the system, such as the lack of interoperability, mismatch of graphic and alphanumeric data, and lack of an integrated cadastral information system. Based on the existing data, the basic concepts of the Serbian cadastre were extracted and the applicability of LADM was tested on an obtained conceptual model. Upon obtaining positive results, a complete country profile was developed according to valid national laws and rulebooks. A table of mappings of LADM classes and country profile classes is presented in this paper, together with an analysis of the conformance level. The proposed Serbian country profile is completely conformant at the medium level and on several high-level classes. LADM also provides support for three-dimensional (3D) representations and 3D registration of rights, so the creation of a country profile for Serbia is a starting point toward a 3D cadastre. Given the existence of buildings with overlapping rights and restrictions in 3D, considering expanding the spatial profile with 3D geometries is necessary. Possible solutions to these situations were analyzed. Since the two-dimensional (2D) cadastre in Serbia is not fully formed, the proposed solution is to use the 2D model for simple right situations, and the 3D model for more complex situations.

Problems and prospects for the development of the first market of lease land in Ukraine

The land is the main asset of the farmer. The basic production of agricultural products, the food security of the state and its export potential today depend directly on the ability of agricultural producers to conduct sustainable production. However, in addition to the natural elements that stand in the way of stabilizing the situation in the field of agriculture, we also have a chronic presence of numerous "man-made" problems that remain unsettled for years. One of the most significant and painful of them is the state registration of the right to lease land. Long-term disorder, corporate wars between state authorities for the right to land relations, negligent attitude to information on land rights and their encumbrances, the shifting of competence among registrars of land tenure rights continue to cause complaints from agricultural producers. But the peculiarities of the legal regulation of the state registration of the right to lease land for agricultural purposes did not become the subject of a separate scientific study. Consequently, the purpose of this work is to study and analyze the problems of legal regulation of state registration of the right to lease land and to find an acceptable option for their further solution. Since the reform of the agrarian sector of Ukraine, the most common form of land use in agricultural production is the use of land by agricultural producers on a lease. The advantage of leasing relations in agricultural production is enshrined in the Concept of the State Target Program for Land Relations Development in Ukraine for the period up to 2020, which was approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated June 17, 2009 No. 743-p. The right to lease a land plot is mediated by a contract concluded in accordance with the Article 20 of the Law of Ukraine "On land lease" is subject to mandatory state registration,on the other hand in Article 125 of the Land Code of Ukraine, it is stated that the right to lease a land plot arises from the moment of state registration of this right. Thus, the fact of registration of the lease contract for agricultural land is a necessary condition for determining the legality of land use of agricultural producers. The state registration of the right to lease a land plot of agricultural land is preceded by a state registration of a land plot that is the subject of a lease and a state registration of the ownership of such a land plot. The right to lease a land plot used for agricultural production arises from the moment of state registration of this right. The intended purpose and type of use within the purpose of the leased land should be identical both in the lease agreement of the land plot and in the State Land Cadastre. State registration of land lease agreements for agricultural purposes provides legal guarantees regarding the actual use of land in agricultural production activities. Key words: land lease, state registration of lease rights, lease of land, real rights, state land cadastre.

ДО ПИТАННЯ ПРО ПРАВОВУ ПРИРОДУ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ РЕЄСТРАЦІЇ ПРАВ НА НЕРУХОМЕ МАЙНО

The article examines different views on the state registration of real property rights, in particular, indicates that such a process is interpreted by scholars in terms of administrative law as: a type of administrative proceedings or as an institution of law and legislation, or as an administrative service, and in some cases as the way the state performs administrative functions. It is noted that the state registration of rights to real estate especially ownership rights, can be an institution of administrative and civil law or be considered an interdisciplinary institution. In the part in which it is an institution of administrative law, the question arises, to the substantive, ie specifically administrative law or procedural, ie administrative procedural law, this institution can be attributed? Public - legal direction, as well as the legal properties that are endowed with state registration of rights allow us to speak about a certain uniqueness of its public law essence. It plays a special role in private legal relations as a legal mechanism for the emergence, transfer and termination of rights. It is noted that while civil law uses the main dispositive method of legal regulation of civil relations, the studied relations are regulated by the method of imperative prescriptions, in particular imperative are the rules of civil law, which establish the need for state registration, as well as administrative law of procedural nature. It is stated that as part of administrative law the institute under study belongs to its special part, which contains normative material and theoretical provisions governing a particular type of homogeneous social relations, including subsectors and legal institutions, service law, municipal law, administrative law, administrative procedural law.

On the right to share, the allocation of property from a collective agricultural enterprise and the disposal of them

Article deals with a number of problems related to the understanding of the right to a share through the prism of its civil law nature. Is compared the right to share in the collective agricultural enterprise with the right to a share in the charter capital of the economic society. It is proved that they are both property rights. Right to a share can be converted into the right to property when the property stands out from the collective agricultural enterprise. Person, who acquires ownership of the property, loses the right of membership in the enterprise. Recession of a member from the collective agricultural enterprise with separation of the property is carried out in proportion to his share. Separation of property to the member of the collective agricultural enterprise is not an agreement and does not create contractual relations. At the same time is similar to the time of acquisition of ownership of such property, which is the time of the transfer from the collective agricultural enterprise to its member. If at recession from the collective agricultural enterprise its member gets his real estate, then the time of acquisition of ownership to it is the state registration of this right. In the case where the recession of a member from the collective agricultural enterprise and recovering of his property is carried out before the entry into force of the Law of Ukraine On state registration of rights to immovable property and encumbrances, procedure for determining the date of acquisition of ownership of property is governed by the legislation in force at the time. There is a possibility of issuing a power of attorney to carry out actions on separation of the property from the assets of the collective agricultural enterprise with the subsequent registration of the rights to it and alienation. Ban of alienation of the property, which the alienator still does not have, is not contained in the Ukrainian legislation.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ УСТАНОВЛЕНИЯ И ИЗМЕНЕНИЯ ГОРОДСКОЙ ЧЕРТЫ И АНАЛИЗ ЗЕМЕЛЬНО-ХОЗЯЙСТВЕННОГО УСТРОЙСТВА ТЕРРИТОРИИ Г. СТАРЫЙ ОСКОЛ

In connection with the development of the draft Federal Law, within which it is planned to establish a ban on the disposal of any land to January 1, 2018, for which in the State Real Estate Cadastre is no information about the location of boundaries, the issue of cadastral works in large numbers in the territory of one or more elements of the planning of the settlement structure, as well as on the territory of the horticultural, gardening and dacha non-profit associations of citizens. The bill is designed to implement an action plan to improve the quality of public services in the field of state cadastral registration of real estate and state registration of rights to immovable property and transactions with it, approved by Decree of the RF Government of 01.12.2012, № 2236-p. Therefore, the work was studied and suggested ways of optimization of works for establishment and change of urban features on the example of the Stary Oskol city, given an extensive description of the research object, studied and analyzed land use and development area studies, reviewed the data of State Real Estate Cadastre and shows the optimum work with them.

Valstybės tarnautojui prilyginamas asmuo kaip nusikalstamų veikų valstybės tarnybai ir viešiesiems interesams subjektas

Article deals with the concept of the person who shall be held equivalent to a civil servant as a subject of the crimes and misdemeanours against civil service and public interests and its interpretation in the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Lithuania. Council of Europe Criminal Law Convention on Corruption (1999) has established requirements for states that are related to inter alia the criminalization of corruption in the private sector. Article 7 (“Active bribery in the private sector”) of the Convention determines that “Each Party shall adopt such legislative and other measures as may be necessary to establish as criminal offences under its domestic law, when committed intentionally in the course of business activity, the promising, offering or giving, directly or indirectly, of any undue advantage to any persons who direct or work for, in any capacity, private sector entities, for themselves or for anyone else, for them to act, or refrain from acting, in breach of their duties”, whereas Article 8 (“Passive bribery in the private sector”) of the Convention determines that “Each Party shall adopt such legislative and other measures as may be necessary to establish as criminal offences under its domestic law, when committed intentionally, in the course of business activity, the request or receipt, directly or indirectly, by any persons who direct or work for, in any capacity, private sector entities, of any undue advantage or the promise thereof for themselves or for anyone else, or the acceptance of an offer or a promise of such an advantage, to act or refrain from acting in breach of their duties”. Analogous behaviours were required to be criminalized essentially under Council Framework Decision 2003/568/JHA of 22 July 2003 on combating corruption in the private sector. International and EU law requirements were implemented by determining in the new Criminal Code of Lithuania (further – CC) that not only a civil servant, but also a person equivalent to a civil servant is liable for active bribery, bribery of an intermediary, passive bribery, abuse of office, u nlawful registration of rights to an item, failure to perform official duties as crimes and misdemeanours against civil service and public interest. Precisely, according to Article 230 of the CC, “ a person who works at any state, non-state or private body, undertaking or organisation or engages in professional activities and holds appropriate administrative powers or has the right to act on behalf of this body, undertaking or organisation or provides public services shall also be held equivalent to a civil servant”. Supreme Court of Lithuania, interpreting the conception of a person equivalent to a civil servant, requires not only the establishment of formal compliance of position held with the requirements indicated in Article 230 of the CC, but also the establishment of the significance of performed activities for the civil service or public interests.

Practical Approaches to the Numerus Clausus of Land Rights: How Legal Professionals in South Africa and the Netherlands Deal with Certainty and Flexibility in Property Law

In the civil-law jurisdictions of the Netherlands and Germany, it has long been accepted that relationships in respect of property must fit particular forms, and must have predetermined content. This is referred to as the numerus clausus principle. Recent scholarship from both the common-law and civil-law worlds focuses closely on the degree of flexibility that adherence to the principle of the numerus clausus allows. The claim is that the constraints of this principle may be easily evaded with professional legal assistance through, e.g. the practice of “stacking” or combining different types of real rights to deal with modern commercial demands. This paper adopts a comparative approach in scrutinising the role of legal professionals involved in creating and entrenching real rights (specifically in respect of land). It shows how these professionals are instrumental in managing the tension between regimentation and customisation, between certainty and practicability of real rights in respect of land, on the cusp between theory and practice. The paper focuses on the function of the Public Notary, and the Registrar of Deeds, two offices that play a crucial role in the registration of rights to land. In the process it comments on the ostensible theoretical divergences between Dutch and South African law – surprising because of the quite close links between these jurisdictions due to their conjoined legal histories – and the unexpected similarities in legal practice.

Экономическое обоснование необходимой точности моделирования объектов недвижимости в 3D-кадастре

Abstract: The plan («roadmap») «Improving the quality of public services in the field of state cadastral registration of immovable property and state registration of rights to immovable property and transactions with it» makes it possible to register 3D-cadastral data on complex buildings and constructions, networks (e.g. cables and pipelines). An important issue is the accuracy of the work to be performed for creating 3D-properties, to protect the rights and interests of the owners. The problem of accuracy is topical and one of the most controversial (disputable) both in 2D- and in 3D-cadastre. The article provides an economic justification for the required accuracy of property modeling for 3D-cadastral registration.

The Impact of Land Property Rights Interventions on Investment and Agricultural Productivity in Developing Countries: a Systematic Review

We conducted a systematic review on the effects of land tenure recognition interventions on agricultural productivity, income, investment and other relevant outcomes. We synthesise findings from 20 quantitative studies and nine qualitative studies that passed a methodological screening. The results indicate substantial productivity and income gains from land tenure recognition, although gains differ markedly by region. We find that these effects may operate through gains in perceived tenure security and investment; we find no evidence for a credit mechanism. The qualitative synthesis highlights potential adverse effects. A conclusion emphasises the need for further research on inter-regional differences and on the role of customary tenure arrangements.

Robust Institutions for Sustainable Water Markets: A Survey of the Literature and the Way Forward

This paper discusses a framework for analyzing robust institutions for water markets drawn on the new institutional economics school of thoughts which is based on Williamson, North, Coase and Ostrom theories on transaction cost economics, property rights and collective actions. Based on these theories, we review the evolution and development of water reforms and markets in countries such as Australia, USA (California and Colorado), Chile and in Spain. Based on the lessons learned from the Spanish and international experience on water markets, a list of robust recommendations for the improvement of water markets in Spain is proposed. These include among others, not only the definition of secure water rights, through the registration of rights or recognition of environment as a legitimate user, but also the monitoring of water trading activities, including the collection of information for prices and quantities or cost-benefit analysis for quantifying benefits and externalities. Finally, based on Sharma’s approach (2012) a new robust water governance model for Spain is proposed in which the highest priority is given to the role of legal and political institutions and second priority to environmental, economic and social needs. We hope that the framework presented in this paper will function as a tool for researchers and policy makers in Spain and other European countries to understand how water markets can be further developed to be economically and environmentally efficient, and socially accepted.

Updating methodological and source database of binominal denominations of introduced cultivars with elements of extrapolation

The article discloses the meaning of botanical semantics, highlights practical appliance of binary scientific botanic nomenclature during plant varieties identification. It is the binary nomenclature of introduced cultivars that requires a scientific approach to structuring and developing the methodological and source learning database of botanical names in Ukrainian and Latin. According to the results of analytic monitoring, research aspects of differentiation of systematic units are shown, as well as certain rules and recommendations concerning theoretically sustained names of botanical taxa in Ukrainian and Latin. The scientific search for harmonization will enable to improve the practical appliance of methodological and linguistic and orthographic requirements and rules of spelling for botanical taxa names during the registration of rights on them. Spelling harmonization by Linnaeus semantic (in Latin) will facilitate a uniform approach to updating methodological and source studying database of binary names of the introduced cultivars of botanical taxa.

Necessidades de saúde, políticas públicas e gênero: a perspectiva das práticas profissionais

This paper examines the relationship between public policies and professional practices with respect to healthcare needs. Taking a theoretical-conceptual approach, practices are defined as acts that are permeated by technical-scientific and socio-historical determinants for the social production of work, and the possibilities for cultural, ethical and political changes were analyzed in order to take critical action regarding gender inequalities. With comprehensive healthcare for men as the reference point, the relevance of a distinction between male and female needs, as partial and not necessarily convergent realities in (re)producing these inequalities, is examined. Likewise, professional practices are examined as partial and distinct realities of policies that establish non-immediate relationships. It is considered that the following are symbolic and practical obstacles to change: the reduction of needs through biomedical normalization; the culture of self-employment and approaches that individualize needs; the traditional gender-based culture that conserves unequal practices for men and women; and the lack of registration of rights as part of professional action. This requires proposals specifically geared to healthcare practices and male needs, in order to achieve greater convergence with policy reforms.

Pastoralism within land administration in Kenya—The missing link

In land administration (LA), the right to exercising property/ownership rights on land is based on cadastral processes of adjudication, survey and rights registration. Private ownership rights are now being taken up in pastoral areas, where they must contend with pastoralists’ land rights. Pastoral land use requires seasonal migrations determined by climatic conditions. This study aimed to find out how well the existing land laws and property rights in LA are able to serve the requirements of pastoralists land use, identify mismatches and put forward possible solutions. A case study was carried out in the Samburu–Laikipia–Isiolo–Meru landscape in Kenya. Data on the degree of livestock dependency among pastoralist communities, the spatial extent and patterns of dry season migrations, the resulting encounters between herders’ and non-pastoralist land use actors, and the perceptions of land rights held by actors were collected through a variety of methods and analysed. The results show that pastoralism is still active. The migration corridors reveal that herders maintain extensive dry season mobility, even though some of the corridors currently overlap with areas where land is privately owned by non-pastoralist land use actors. Moreover, the results show that most non-pastoralist land use actors have their land rights registered, but seasonal encounters with migrating pastoralists persist as pastoralists continue to exercise customary rights of communal use. We conclude that existing land laws and property rights in LA are suitable for sedentary land use, but do not address how to serve pastoralists land rights in time and space. The pastoralist's migration routes and patterns obtained indicated that it is possible to predict where pastoralists will be at a given time/drought period. This information could be used by decision makers and land administrators to identify where and when pastoralists’ land rights apply. This could provide the foundation for including pastoralists’ spatiotemporal land rights in LA. Arguments emphasize that adjudication, surveys and registration of rights should focus not only on ownership and full control of land, but also on defined periods when spatiotemporal mobility and access rights could be granted to pastoralists.
