This paper presents the regulatory role of lands in the Republic of Kosovo, through various forms of land consolidation. Land consolidation is a technical-agrarian process and it is a very good combination of legal works, geodetic and agrarian fields. With this system of regulation for land administration and management, property and other natural...

This paper analyses the current Land Administration System (LAS) in Denmark with a focus on institutional arrangements, land policies, land information infrastructure, and the four land administration functions: land tenure, land value, land-use, and land development. The analysis, this way, builds on the land management paradigm. Some challenges a...

To manage land, each government has a land policy and administration system. A land administration system (LAS) enables identification, registration and sharing of information about land in compliance with land policie...

This move necessitated a change in Tanzania's land policies as well as traditional notions about the value and ownership of land, which are different from western concepts of land ownership. Existing land laws in Tanzania may be summarized as f...

... Since the 1980s, when the agrarian reform started, Gllogoc has used its agricultural land according to the criteria of landscaping defined in the project of Land Consolidation (Komasacion -the totality of unregulated lands converted into regulated land and then distributed to the owners according to the total area they had when they were unregulated. (http:// juridiksi.e-monsite.com/faqe/e-drejta-civile/nocioni-i-pronesis-dhe-menyrat-e-fitimit-te-saj.html), but after 1999 a large portion of projects changed purpose and were transformed into residential and economic areas (Meha, Idrizi, 2010). ...
This paper evaluates the built area within “cadastral zones” (subdivisions of municipalities) in order to identify the expansion tendencies of settlements, with the aim of contributing to preventing future uncontrolled developments. Demographic growth always needs more construction so it is important to provide a spatial analysis of land use. The paper is focused on the expansion dynamics of built areas within cadastral zones due to rapid social and economic changes. The lack of researches for the Drenica region has affected land use, which has been unplanned and not-to-standard, and has not preserved agricultural land. In the last two decades – since 1999 – there has been considerable growth in the construction sector across all of Kosovo. Although, according to the spatial plan, property owners have the right to develop and use their own property in their own best interests, these regulations do not give them the right to work outside the legal framework of the local plan itself. Land use should be in full compliance with spatial plans, both national and local. This study will contribute to the sustainable urbanisation of settlements and preservation of agricultural land. The results of the study will also help to make important decisions for built areas, in also providing necessary recommendations for steps to be taken to have a land use based on common interests.

Agricultural land is facing challenges due to different human activities. Accelerated urbanisation along with explosive economic growth has further worsened the shortage of agricultural land over the last two decades. Kosovo, a country with small areas suitable for agriculture is meeting challenges due to unplanned settlement extension, coal surface mining, parcelisation of properties, etc. This paper consists in an analysis of the agricultural land fund in Kosovo, in quality, production potential and food security for the population, but also the challenges facing Kosovo with this strategic resource. The article analyses three main factors that have made the biggest changes in agricultural land in Kosovo: the effects of settlement extension, coal surface mining and parcelisation in reducing the soil fund. Some of the effects have triggered significant socio-economic processes that have changed the rural environment. Other important risks of agricultural land in Kosovo are: pollution, landfills, frequent floods, etc.
