ß÷ßäÉçÇø

Overview

This one-year research project focused on property rights and land use regulation in ß÷ßäÉçÇø, and had three objectives:

1. To analyze the constitutional, legal and regulatory frameworks that demarcate private property rights in land in ß÷ßäÉçÇø.
2. To describe the present scope of ß÷ßäÉçÇø’s property rights system and to identify key issues arising from recent land use initiatives.
3. To develop a nontechnical summary of the above to serve as a resource for stakeholders, policy makers, and land users in general.

The project consisted of three phases. The first phase provided a comprehensive review of the relevant legislation, case law and academic literature, and included a comparison of the ß÷ßäÉçÇø framework to other relevant jurisdictions.

The second phase focused on the production of a summarized report of findings to the ß÷ßäÉçÇø Land Institute, along with a shorter plain language guide.

In the final phase, the findings were disseminated in scholarly articles and conference and workshop presentations.
