Communal Land Tenure in Chile 1

Communal land tenure exists as a minor system in Chile concurrently with the predominant system of individual fee simple ownership, although Chilean law does not provide for communal tenure. Communal holdings are found in the northern desert highlands, in the northern dry-margin sector of the lands of Mediterranean climate, and in the Araucanian indigenous sector in the far south. The lands remaining in communal tenure chiefly are of low productive capacity, as dry farms or pasturelands. It is hypothesized that in a situation in which only a small fraction of the land is cultivable, and the remainder is of low carrying capacity, the highly productive lands tend to become controlled by individual tenure, whereas communal tenure tends to continue on lands of low carrying capacity
