Advances in Responsible Land Administration challenges conventional forms of land administration by introducing alternative approaches and provides the basis for a new land administration theory. A compilation of observations about responsible land administration in East Africa, it focuses on a new empirical foundation rather than preexisting ideals. Presenting practical knowledge resulting from real cases, it incorporates empirical studies highlighting Rwanda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya.
The book considers contemporary change forces that include responsible technological innovation, post-conflict contexts, rural poverty, rapid urbanization, food security, and citizen participation. It covers land information system design, innovative data capture tools and techniques, and algorithms and approaches to support land consolidation and pastoralist land administration. The book also evaluates the outcomes of approaches specifically geared toward workflow design, land use changes, land tenure perceptions, conflict reduction, and governance measures.
Outlining key aspects of what fit for purpose land administration looks like, this book presents:
- A contemporary update for the land administration sector
- An overview of East African developments, a current focus region for innovative land administration design
- A collection of cutting-edge tools from practice and for practice—with enough support data and methodological underpinnings to be readily utilized for advocacy, design, and assessment
Advances in Responsible Land Administration is an up-to-date discourse thatpromotes the theoretical notion of responsible land administration. The book highlights real cases, provides real data, and introduces novel alternatives to conventional methodologies in land administration. Using the information in this book, you can develop a coherent theoretical foundation for further research in this area.
"… this book complements the overall scope of land administration systems by highlighting the importance and techniques of recognising informal tenure relations… The book has touched upon people’s aspirations that are beyond the reach of conventional land administration and unveiled the possibility of exploiting the opportunity offered by modern technology. The concepts of responsible land administration elaborated in this book… can be seen as general principles that every government needs to adopt."

"… In the emerging era of new land administration, new inspiration and innovative approaches are critically important to move forward… in this respect, the book will have tremendous importance and impact."
—Dr. Zerfu Hailu, Deputy Team Leader for the Responsible and Innovative Land Administration (REILA) Project, Ministry of Agriculture, Ethiopia
" … I strongly commend Advances in Responsible Land Administration to anyone who is passionate about good land governance, access to land for the poor and disadvantaged, poverty reduction and gender equity, especially in Africa, a continent that presents both challenges and opportunities for innovation."
—Ian P. Williamson, Emeritus Professor, Centre for Spatial Data Infrastructures and Land Administration, The University of Melbourne, Australia
" … timely and very valuable in unfolding the new and innovative approaches to designing land administration systems in less developed countries. By introducing the concept of ‘Responsible Land Administration’ the authors add a new notion to conventional approaches by aligning the administration with the ever-changing dynamics of societal demands. … also a significant attempt to develop a coherent theoretical foundation for further research in this area. This book is needed."
