Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the Special Issue of Land on “The Third Edition: Sustainable Land Management and Land Tenure: Experiences for the Future”.
In both industrialized and developing countries, there is high demand for comprehensive policies, tools, and instruments in order to cope with the increasing globalization, climate change, and migration patterns, as well as with the cross-border nature of many land-related problems. As land is a limited resource, there is an urgent need to consolidate and exchange good practices of land governance and land policy around the world, which may be accommodated in different social and institutional contexts.
As land management policies prepare and assess interventions into land use, size, shapes, rights, tenure, and values, the purpose of this Special Issue is to invite academics and practitioners to describe their practical experiences and insights in this field. The aim is to share proposals that deal with managing the built environment, developing infrastructures, and using natural and human resources to develop creative, innovative, and sustainable solutions.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- capacity development in land management and land tenure;
- experiences and best practices from land management projects from around the world;
- policies for making land management practices responsible and sustainable;
- strategies for sustainability in land planning processes;
- challenging and/or successful land governance approaches;
- evaluation methods and results to support land policy improvements; and
- innovative land management tools.
