✦ Synopsis
This article investigates sustainable land tenure and land registration in developing countries. The results of four case studies are integrated within a basic framework that was compiled from a literature study. The result is an interpretation of the framework of developing country land tenure and land registration with key issues and their relative impacts on (a) the feasibility of land administration and (b) sustainable development. This article shows the complexity and multi-dimensional nature of land administration, land tenure and land registration development in this context. The main conclusions are firstly that workable land administration is built upon good governance, appropriate resources, cultural sensitivity, equity, quality and commitment, and secondly that sustainable development is best promoted by secure, flexible, all-inclusive land tenure structures.
