participation in property formation insights from Land Use Planning in an informal urban settlement in tanzania
Land Use Policy, 2020Co-Authors: Method Julius Gwaleba, Uchendu Eugene ChigbuAbstract:This study argues that where Land-Use Planning of any kind is conducted, it plays a supporting role that enables the property formation process to be effective. It Uses evidence from Makongo Juu Settlement (in Tanzania) to reveal that the participation of actors with various levels of tenure awareness is necessary for property formation (Land parceling). As the study is case-study focUsed, it Uses data collected through a mix of procedures—including in-depth interviews, survey questionnaires, and documentary processes—analyzed qualitatively. Findings confirm that Land-Use Planning introduces or embeds formal rules and regulations that govern the Use of Land. Furthermore, the study presents the affected persons’ narratives of their involvement in the property formation process. This medium allowed for an understanding of their perspectives of the property formation in the context of Land-Use Planning. Apart from these empirical revelations (among other findings), the study contributes to Land administration and Land management literature in three ways. First, it outlines a typical outlook of formal and informal Land development processes. Second, it deconstructs property formation in the context of Land-Use Planning in an informal settlement. Thirdly, it presents the typical categories of actors (including their roles and viewpoints) in the participatory property formation process in an informal settlement. The study recommends that cadastral surveying (Property formation) and Land-Use Planning should be better integrated for the formalization of property rights. This recommendation is considered necessary becaUse there is evidence that Land-Use Planning assigns rights (including restrictions and obligations or responsibilities) that owners and Users of Land have to follow in the property formation process.

why tenure responsive Land Use Planning matters insights for Land Use consolidation for food security in rwanda
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019Co-Authors: Uchendu Eugene Chigbu, Walter Timo De Vries, Pierre Damien Ntihinyurwa, Edith Ishimwe NgenziAbstract:Land Use consolidation aims to address food insecurity challenges in Rwanda. However, there is contradictory evidence on whether this tool has met food security objectives or not. This study addresses two questions: How has the Land Use consolidation improved (or not improved) food security at the local level? How can food security challenges be addressed using a renewed approach to Land Use consolidation that adopts a tenure responsive Land Use Planning procedure? We investigate these questions in Nyange Sector (in the Musanze District) of Rwanda using mixed research methods. The study generates theoretical and policy relevant outcomes. Theoretically, it links the concept of tenure responsive Land-Use Planning to food security improvements. Policy wise, it provides an operational framework for implementing Land Use consolidation to make it more responsive to food security (based on tenure responsive Land-Use Planning measures) in Rwanda.

Combining Land-Use Planning and tenure security: a tenure responsive Land-Use Planning approach for developing countries
Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 2016Co-Authors: Uchendu Eugene Chigbu, Anna Schopf, Walter Timo De Vries, Fahria Masum, Samuel Mabikke, Danilo Antonio, Jorge EspinozaAbstract:There is tenure insecurity around Land ownerships and Land rights in most developing countries. There are also many Land-Use Planning projects being implemented in these countries. Often, Land-Use Planning exists in these countries but is not formally linked with tenure security. This study argues that combining them by conducting Land-Use Planning in a way that promotes tenure security presents a new approach. A central premise for the rationale of this intervention is that processes of Land-Use Planning may inadvertently increase tenure security. By way of methodology, it evaluates Land-Use Planning case studies from Africa, Asia and South America. It Uses the three case study examples to build a case for making tenure security one of the major planned outcomes of a Land-Use Planning process and provides a detailed framework for operationalising the concept. Its main contribution to the literature is that it introduces the concept of tenure responsive Land-Use Planning.

participation of informal settlers in participatory Land Use Planning project in pursuit of tenure security
Urban Forum, 2018Co-Authors: Method Julius Gwaleba, Fahria MasumAbstract:A majority of the urban population in Dar es Salaam City in Tanzania lives in informal (unplanned) settlements. The living conditions in these settlements lack among other things, security of tenure. In response to the growing need for tenure security, the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania adopted participatory Land Use Planning (PLUP) approaches to help local people secure rights over Land and to strengthen the local management of institutions. However, the PLUP approaches often are subverted by inadequate participation of the local community. By way of a methodology, the study evaluates PLUP project under the Business and Property Formalization Programme (MKURABITA) towards enhancing tenure security of informal settlers in Baruti informal settlement in Dar es Salaam City. The research examines the perception of informal settlers in PLUP project and their level of participation in the PLUP process. Based on research findings, the researchers suggest a strategic and collaborative framework to have a lasting and sustainable impact of PLUP approach towards improving Land tenure security. This research will help scholars and practitioners to understand the current state of the literature in participatory Land Use Planning for improving tenure security. This case study as an example will shed the light on means that can be utilized in improving the level of participation of informal settlers in PLUP process.
