How the National Land Use Policy Promotes Use of Publicly Accessible Land Inf...Neil Sorensen
Background on Land Governance Realities in Myanmar “Political Playground”- Legal framework is poorly harmonized and often antiquated;- Deed registration system has been poorly maintained, expensive land transactions, tenure claims often unclear (negative impact on investment);- Many land holders, particularly in remote rural areas, lack formal recognition of land tenure claims (customary tenure);- Land governance arrangements are complicated with overlapping authority;- Public access to accurate land information is difficult (negative impact on investment, negative impacts on tenure security, increases risk for all);- Limited opportunity for public participation in land resource decision making processes, including easy access to affordable dispute resolution mechanisms.
Policy: for use data, data sharing; reuse data; keep up to date of data, the quality of data
Collaboration: how to share responsibility , benefits, the cost of maintaining data, system maintenance
Technical solution: open standard, open sources, portal, metadata. etc.
OneMap project works with government, civil society, ethnic groups and communities, to produce, enhance, and share high quality and accuracy data on land and other natural resources.
The open-access, online OneMap spatial data platform democratizes access to multi-sectoral data. It aims to function as an effective basis for transparent and accountable land governance and development planning by government and citizens.
By supporting government and civil society alike, OneMap provides space for multi-stakeholders based production and verification of key datasets, and thereby allows different perspectives on land to be equally represented.

It explores the theory and evolution of land administration as a discipline, and provides tools and best practices for building modern land administration systems, including the importance of spatial data infrastructures, technology, capacity building, and project management. The authors argue that integrated, spatially enabled land administration systems are needed to administer land and resources effectively and empower communities around the world.
2016 GGSD Forum - Opening Session: Presentation by Mr. Christian Kastrop, Dir...OECD Environment
Christian Kastrop discusses how the OECD can improve its advice on spatial planning policies. While past economic surveys have often recommended removing restrictions on land use to boost growth, this approach has been superficial. Spatial planning involves trade-offs between economic, environmental, and social outcomes that are not always quantified. To provide better guidance, the OECD should more clearly identify the multiple purposes of spatial planning and acknowledge inherent tensions between objectives.

The mission of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is “
to provide timely, accurate and useful statistics in service to US agriculture”. Towards this goal, NASS conducts hundreds of surveys every year collecting information on virtually every aspect of agricultural activity. In 2010, the NASS Cropland Data Layer
(CDL) Program played an important role toward fulfilling this mission using remote sensing techniques to provide operational in-season acreage estimates to the NASS Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB)
and Field Offices (FOs) for twenty seven states and sixteen crops.
Uganda implemented a National Land Policy between 2006-2010 to harmonize land use for settlements, economic development and conservation. The policy's vision is the optimal use of land resources for a prosperous, industrialized economy. Priorities for implementing the policy include reducing land disputes, addressing historical injustices, and institutional reforms. However, fully funding implementation over three years is estimated to cost $77 million, presenting a key challenge. The government is committed to monitoring implementation but requires partnerships and funding to strengthen monitoring and realize the policy's goals.

Challenges
Planning traditionally done based on ideal targets, less based on current facts, often due to “lack of information”.
Information often exists, but
largely underutilized (analysis capacities)
not shared/ not accessible (practices)
often heterogeneous and scattered (data management)
sectoral perspectives (planning processes)
→ Challenges of information access and integration across sectors and levels
Current Status of the Myanmar Context on Open DataNeil Sorensen
Myanmar is facing critical issues related to land.
Managing land and natural resources is complex. Transparent access to good information and data is critical for decision makers and citizens
But access to key data is still very limited because of different reasons. For example, some data :
Do not exist yet
Are outdated
Are inaccessible
Are inaccurate
Are still in paper format, etc.
OneMap project helps to develop a central online database, where all data relevant to land, are accessible to users (government and citizens).
This document contains questions to assess a person's well-being in three areas: health and wellness, living situation, and social relationships. For health, it asks about feelings, general health, eating, smoking, drinking, and medicine use. For living situation, it asks about home, rules, safety, sleep, attendance at school/work, and need for help. For social relationships, it asks about free time, closest relationships, online contacts, romantic/sexual relationships, discomfort, harm, counseling history, and other discussion topics. The document ends with proposing steps to summarize thoughts, background, assessment, and recommendations.
This document provides a timeline of major events in the open access movement from the 1960s to 2008. Some key developments include the creation of open access repositories and databases in the 1960s-1970s by US government agencies, the invention of the World Wide Web in 1990, the establishment of open access journals and repositories in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and the release of influential declarations and reports advocating for open access in the early 2000s. The timeline shows the growth of the open access movement from isolated early initiatives to a global movement affecting scientific publishing.
The document discusses the concept of 1:1 pedagogy and its benefits. 1:1 pedagogy refers to an educational approach where each student has their own tablet or laptop. This allows for more active and student-centered learning. Key benefits include students having immediate access to information, taking a more active role in their own learning, and teachers guiding learning through a "flipped classroom" model. The document emphasizes that teachers remain crucial as pedagogical leaders when integrating new technologies to ensure successful implementation.

1) A project in Tanzania developed a methodology called Joint Village Land Use Planning (JVLUP) to secure land tenure for pastoralists across village boundaries through collective land certificates.
2) Using participatory mapping and research on pastoral women's land rights, the project scaled up JVLUP across 3 villages, certifying over 12,000 hectares of shared grazing land.
3) The project is working to mainstream JVLUP within the Tanzanian government's land use planning guidelines to more cost-effectively scale tenure security for pastoralists at a national level.
The document summarizes the process of developing the 2013 Land Use Plan for Inhambane, Mozambique. It involved building capacity of local planning staff through training courses. Public participation was conducted through 16 consultations across 23 neighborhoods to gather community needs. Analysis of existing infrastructure, land use, and stakeholder input informed the drafting of the plan, which was publicly presented and approved. The plan establishes land use zoning and expands transportation infrastructure while preserving agricultural and protected lands. However, challenges remain in fully implementing the plan and ongoing capacity and participation.
The document provides an overview and status update of the Modernization of Local Public Services in the Republic of Moldova (MLPS) project. It discusses the project's four intervention areas and their objectives and indicators. As of March 2017, most indicators were on track or had minor deviations. Key achievements included publishing the National Strategy for Regional Development and developing a new draft law on regional development. Challenges included delays in strategic documents and limited expertise. The next steps outlined continued work on strategies, projects, and building regional capacities through June 2017.
Civil society support to land use planning in TanzaniaLandCam
Civil society organizations play an important role in supporting land use planning in Tanzania. They engage in policy and legal reform efforts, support planning authorities to conduct land use planning, monitor and evaluate processes, and advocate for communities. For example, one initiative supported four villages in Kiteto District to develop a joint land use plan through participatory mapping and establishing agreements to manage shared grazing lands, water points, and livestock routes. However, challenges remain such as few CSOs supporting the process, low implementation rates by the government, and potential for politically motivated subdivision of village lands.
This document describes a project that assists five small rural Minnesota communities in developing sustainable tourism. The project uses a participatory Tourism Assessment Program to help communities identify local assets and evaluate their tourism potential from three perspectives: community members, visitors, and experts. Communities inventory assets, visit each other to assess visitor experiences, and receive assessments from expert teams. Outcomes include increased tourism awareness, development of local projects, and continuous improvement of interventions to build rural tourism. Initial findings show communities need help recognizing assets and regional cooperation, and addressing technology and broadband access issues.
The role of strategic spatial plans in managing urban-rural relationshipsPrivate
Recent decades have witnessed a huge change in the global structure of the human population, with the majority of people now living in urban environments. Rural-to-urban migration flows, mainly due to labour opportunities in urban areas, are responsible for the majority of this growth. Such events aggravate the urban-rural divide and compromise sustainable land-use systems. Hence, planning and managing urban areas and rural hinterlands require integrative spatial planning strategies, as well as strong land use management policies. In this regard, strategic spatial plans have been increasingly developed in many urban regions worldwide, as a means to achieve sustainable land use patterns, guide the location of physical infrastructures and shape urban-rural dynamics. It is realistic, therefore, to expect that strategic spatial plans may contribute to fostering the linkage between urban centres and rural hinterlands. This study reviews the content of strategic plans and other spatial policy documents currently in force in European and North American urban regions. The central goal of this study is to analyse the policies and measures in the plans to understand the role strategic spatial plans play in balancing the urban-rural nexus. The findings allow us to distinguish three dominant approaches, which reflect spatial patterns: i) strategic plans in European cases are focused on promoting brownfield redevelopment and stimulating polycentricity as a counter-urbanization measure; ii) strategic plans in Canadian cases demonstrate strong preoccupations with farmland protection for food security in striving for a more equal development of urban and rural areas; iii) strategic plans in assessed US cases are mainly focused on curbing urban sprawl and avoiding further land take for urban and infrastructure development, while rural hinterlands are largely neglected. The study concludes by outlining recommendations intended to support strategic planning processes and sustainable land management.
This document summarizes the Modernization of Local Public Services in the Republic of Moldova project.

1) Kenya is devolving spatial planning responsibilities to county governments according to the new constitution, requiring each county to develop a 10-year GIS-based spatial plan.
2) Existing land management systems in Kenya rely on outdated manual records and lack integrated GIS applications, but efforts are underway to develop a national land information management system.
3) A geospatial society of Kenya is being established to promote GIS development and help establish a national spatial data infrastructure, with the goal of supporting county spatial planning through GIS training and resources.
SUPPORT TO THE ATTAINMENT OF VISION 2030 THROUGH DEVOLVED LAND REFORMS IN COM...FAO
This document summarizes a meeting of the 7th Capitalization Meeting of the EU Land Governance Programme in Rome, Italy from June 26-29, 2018. The programme aims to support Kenya's Vision 2030 through devolved land reforms in community lands, with objectives of improving food security, access to land, and socioeconomic development. It has worked in 8 counties since 2016, with outcomes of improving decentralized land governance. Progress includes establishing multi-stakeholder committees and contributions to land policy. Challenges include bureaucratic delays and political agendas, while lessons focus on maintaining stakeholder involvement and aligning with government objectives. Next steps include strengthening community land governance and finalizing related regulations and mapping.

Passing of Law is no guarantee that it would be properly implemented.
All powerful Forest bureaucracy can create obstacles at every stage of implementation and easily defeat the very purpose of the Law.
GENDERSCAPES IN MANAGEMENT AND GOVERNANCE OF THE COMMONSNeil Sorensen
By Soma Kishore Parthasarathy
National Facilitation Team Member. Mahila Kisan Adhikar Manch (MAKAAM)
The commons represent socio-ecological landscapes (Lele2014) of diverse needs and possibilities -
ecological terrain and living
subsistence, survival and sustenance
everyday needs of food, fodder, water etc thereof.
The footprint of development in the neo liberal development era,
policies programmatic interventions
Manifests spatially on the socio- economic landscape in varied ways
Manifests on gender relations.
This paper, analyses the emergent Genderscapes (Krishna 2012) in the wake of neoliberal policies of development,
Examines the implications of such processes on the lives and livelihoods of commons dependent communities and on women.
Key points:
Upholding historical and traditional practices
Urgently protecting village commons
Immediately taking corrective actions against encroachments
No justification for condoning illegal possession of village land
Regularisation of construction only in exceptional cases

Secure Land Rights and Women’s Empowerment – Evidences from Odisha (India) Neil Sorensen
Land - economic asset; its ownership has strong social, cultural and political implications
Land is a composite asset - income and livelihood, identity, address and social status
Ownership of land is “power”
Its the “power” to exercise rights; the “power” to lead a life of dignity
Information is a valuable tool to contribute to a world of improved land governance
Challenges in access to information
Extreme fragmentation of information
Enormous wealth of information
Reliability issues
Too much to humanly digest
Land Portal website brings information from various sources together

The document discusses land governance and management reforms in India through the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP). It outlines the current land record system's limitations and the vision for a more transparent, computerized system. Key initiatives include computerizing land and registration records in most states, digitizing maps, integrating land and registration processes, linking Aadhaar IDs, and conducting land surveys. Case studies from Karnataka, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh demonstrate integrated, technology-driven systems that minimize human errors and corruption in land services.
Main Objective of this portal is to provide online
comprehensive information of Land Records (across the
state) to the public in vernacular (Telugu) Language.
The document discusses the importance of improving property record management systems in India. It notes that there are over 24 million land-related court cases, 2771 murders due to property disputes in 2014, and 73 stalled projects from 2014-2017 due to issues with land acquisition. Current property records in India are poorly maintained and inaccurate. Government initiatives aim to create conclusive land titles and comprehensive, up-to-date records through computerization and digitization of records of rights, cadastral maps, and registration documents. A study was conducted to assess the impact of these programs in three states by checking the status of records and commenting on the accuracy and completeness achieved.
