 | | The "mere ownership of land and the fact that a visitor was injured on that land does not presume liability for the injury;" only when a landowner "fails to fulfill the legal duty to act" is the landowner liable for visitor's injuries (Kaiser and Wright, 1985). | | | The importance of the public sector on private land tenure research is "both direct (as when public acquisition removes land from the private ownership base) and indirect (regulation of private land in the public interest) and blurs the distinction between 'public' and 'private'" (Geisler, 1993). | | | Public land ownership and use is often not clearly differentiable from private land ownership and use. |

| | An efficient land market does not necessarily require private ownership of land; all that is necessary is that land be commercialized so that, say, those who possess a private lease of state owned land can sell (or rent) their lease-rights to others if they wish. | | | Land redistribution in essence represented a transfer of land titles from the predominantly non-cultivating landlords to the actual tenant cultivators. | | | The terms of sale of land to the reform beneficiaries were the same as in the case of sales of public land. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Land-Tenure in the Christian Era |
| | Tenure, even as a fiction, disappeared; the conception of absolute ownership was restored, the control of public lands by public authorities became as absolute as it had been under the Roman Empire, and the orbit of change was completed. | | | Land was everywhere held as private property: it was bought and sold, the most absolute rights conceivable were granted over it by the Roman State. | | | In other words, a State must, if it is to remain a State, set up in the case of land guarantees and safeguards against the perils attaching to the institution of property which it need not set up in the case of other forms of property. |

| | SD : People : Gender, Land and Fertility - Women's Access to Land and Security of Tenure |
| | Women's inequality of access to land was a result of the increase in purchase of legal titles, in line with the British legal tradition, that linked the use of the land with individual property. | | | For instance, the fact that land title and land tenure tend to be vested in men may be a legal condition, but it also reflects socio-cultural tradition. | | | Security of tenure is to a large extent a social contract through which the community bestows to an individual or household the right to cultivate land. |

| | It is not actually the type of ownership, it is the secure title which stipulates WHO may use the land and sometimes also HOW the land may be used. | | | A CLT issued land lease clearly demarcates land boundaries and which individuals or groups are granted secure tenure and use rights to a particular parcel of land. | | | The power of the state was used to enforce the land rights of the most aggressive and greedy. |

| | Module 18: Land Rights |
| | The second common and fundamental principle underlying domestic land laws is the regalian doctrine, which holds that all lands belong to the state. A corollary of this principle is that it is only by a grant from the state that land can pass into private ownership. | | | These provisions apply to ownership of land as well as security of tenure of land. One of the bases on which restitution has been claimed or provided has been discrimination-that land had previously been taken from an individual or group because of their racial, ethnic or other identity. | | | The Land Claims Court is tasked with the responsibility of ratifying agreements that are mediated by the commission as well as arbitrating in cases where no agreement can be reached. |

| | Agricultural Land Ownership and Tenure Patterns in Nebraska, G03-1486-A |
| | Ownership of Agricultural land acreage in Nebraska, 1999. | | | Using these farmer/rancher tenure pattern configurations from the 1997 Agricultural Census and integrating them with the data base from the 1999 land ownership survey, it was estimated that just over 34,000 tenants were renting agricultural land from others in 1999. | | | Consequently, it is of considerable importance to identify and understand the basic patterns of land ownership and tenure that exist within the state. |

| | IMPLEMENTING LIS/GIS FROM A CUSTOMARY LAND TENURE PERSPECTIVE - THE FIJI EXPERIENCE |
| | Under the Native Land Trust Act, the NLTB is empowered to act as trustee in the control and administration of all leased Native Lands in Fiji. | | | Finally the company also has to pay a surface access lease fee to the NLTB, which redistributes it to the land owners. | | | Lands that have never been alienated from the traditional land owners and therefore are still held by them under their 'customary' land tenure system, have been surveyed topographically and mapped, albeit to lesser accuracies, since they were not used for commercial purposes. |

| | Private and communal land tenure in Morocco's western High Atlas mountains: complements, not ideological opposites |
| | Then, arguing against a popularized paradigm that proposes that private tenure of scarce resources is necessarily more efficient than communal control, it presents a case study of forage-land tenure in a High Atlas valley. | | | Far from being ideological opposites, these different types of land tenure are complementary tools. | | | Using examples of tenure in this valley, I argue retroductively in favour of a more comprehensive paradigm of rangeland tenure that considers both benefits and costs as factors of the appropriateness of private or communal tenure. |

| | ODA - Story of the Week |
| | Absentee ownership of farmland often provides a win-win situation for non-farm owners who can't work the land anymore but need the income, and the operators themselves who can't afford to buy the land. | | | It is hard to predict what trend will follow when it comes to farmland ownership in Oregon and whether it will join the list of states where absentee ownership is the majority. | | | "Because land ownership is one of the biggest costs of operating a farm or ranch, many operators, especially those younger than 45, are renting or leasing land," says Searle. |

| | One of the strengths of the United States has come from giving people ownership of their own land and thus giving them an incentive to invest in it and improve it. | | | Patents and copyrights are about the ownership of specific reductions to practice and presentation. | | | In real property there are limits such as the need to share access to resources and property may even be taken away for the public good though this must be done with strong restraint in order to mitigate the benefits of ownership. |

| | A. Tucker's Big Four: Absentee Landlordism |
| | Only through the state's legal privileging of the ownership of capital and labor, was it possible for the capitalist or landlord to charge labor a tribute for access to the means of production, and thus to obtain a cumulative increase over time. | | | It is difficult at times, in a country like Britain with so much feudal baggage in its present distribution of land ownership, to distinguish between criticism of the landed aristocracy and criticism of absentee ownership as such, or between taxation and rent. | | | By political means, likewise, they claimed ownership of vacant lands, and controlled access to it without themselves ever directly occupying or working it. |

| | Political Philosophy of John Locke [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | Nonetheless, in the early state of ownership, a mans title to the land depends on his continual cultivation of it (§38). | | | But once land is taken under private ownership, its productivity increases and a man can sell its surplus; in turn, economic growth causes a population to grow, and thereby the value of cultivated land increases. | | | As private ownership develops, so too does the breadth of the services offered, and just as one family does not have to produce all of the goods they desire (bread, shelter, clothing), so it does not need to produce security services. |
