  • Monitoring and restricting real property ownership on national security grounds

    Open AccessKirsikka Riekkinen, Pauliina Krigsholm et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2025References: 22

    Rapid changes in global geopolitics have prompted debate about the need to monitor and restrict ownership of real property on national security grounds. Research of foreign ownership on real property has focused on the economic effects of infrastructure purchases, whereas the range of land administration tools to monitor or restrict ownership rights has not received much detailed examination. The aim of this research is to map and compare the cur…

  • Exploring land policy tools and instruments for formalising informal settlements in Nigeria

    Open AccessEmmanuel Joseph Odoyi, Kirsikka RiekkinenARTICLEHabitat International2025Cited by: 1References: 47

    Informal settlements are the most common type of urbanisation in underdeveloped nations, with unstable tenure, inadequate infrastructure, and socio-spatial marginalisation. Despite multiple efforts to formalise these settlements, obstacles remain due to fragmented governance structures, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and a misalignment between statutory land policy tools and the realities of informal land tenure. This paper examines the influence o…

  • Adapted institutional analysis and development framework for understanding customary land institutions in sub-Saharan Africa – A case study from Nigeria

    Open AccessOluwafemi Adekola, Pauliina Krigsholm et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2023References: 57

    Customary land institutions (CLIs) are social institutions that define local land governance in communities. Strengthening community rights continues to be an essential land policy goal, and several studies have focused on ways to improve local land governance through CLIs. Relatively limited attention, however, has been paid to understanding these institutions in themselves. The present study addresses this gap and develops an analytical framewo…

  • The relationship between agricultural land parcel size and cultivation costs

    Open AccessJuho Valtiala, Olli Niskanen et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2023Cited by: 4References: 30

    Land fragmentation in agriculture is acknowledged as a problem that causes additional costs in cultivation and lowers productivity. Land consolidation programmes seek to alleviate the problem by influencing land ownership, with the aim to reduce travel distances and increase parcel sizes by connecting adjacent small land parcels. Decision making requires cost–benefit analysis of the costs of ownership changes compared to the potential benefits. S…

  • Towards a holistic land law evaluation in sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessOluwafemi Adekola, Pauliina Krigsholm et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2021Cited by: 2References: 42

    Land laws provide a legal basis for addressing a country’s land-related strategies and are the central land policy instruments through which governments realise land policy objectives. Considering their vital role, it is imperative that land laws be evaluated to ensure that policy objectives are followed and that the laws are not ineffective or counterproductive. The extant literature, however, provides only a fragmentary basis for evaluation. Th…

  • Pathways for a future cadastral system

    Open AccessPauliina Krigsholm, Kirsikka Riekkinen et al.ARTICLELand Use Policy2020Cited by: 2References: 38

    A vast array of trends and innovations, such as drones and person-to-person trust solutions, have been proposed to revolutionize the task of recording land and property rights. There is, however, a gap in current research regarding how to approach systematically the future(s) of cadastral systems. This paper introduces socio-technical transitions theory and multi-level perspective (MLP) framework in particular as a way to structure potential path…

Public service providers have raised awareness towards customer-oriented approaches in their procedures during recent decades. This study discusses the relevance of adopting a new approach in cadastral procedures by presenting a new method to obtain a subdivision procedure. This is done by conducting a liter…
