Land Management- process by which the resources of land are put into good effect.

Encompasses all
activities associated with the management of land that are required to achieve sustainable
development.

Practices:

1. Prevent land conversion and protect vulnerable lands.

2. Prevent and mitigate land degradation and restore degraded soils.

3. Control soil erosion.

4. Improve soil-water storage.

5. Manage soil organic matter for soil carbon sequestration.

6. Manage and enhance soil fertility

7. Promote integrated soil–crop–water management and integrated agroforestry.

8. Rehabilitate and sustainably manage dryland environments.

9. Improve crop–water productivity and manage soil salinity in irrigated dryland agriculture.

Sustainable Land Management- Refers to the practices and technologies that aim to integrate the
management of land, water, biodiversity and other environmental resources to meet human needs
while ensuring the long-term sustainability of ecosystem services and livelihood.

Sustainable Development- meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs

Sustainable Land management activities may be described by the three components:

1.Land Policies- Is part of the national policy on promoting objectives including economic development,
social justice and equity, and political stability.

2.Land Information Infrastructures- Land information should be organized as a spatial data


infrastructure at national, regional/federal and local level based on relevant policies for data sharing,
cost recovery, access to data, standards, etc.

3.Land Administration Functions in support of Sustainable Development- The land administration


functions are based on and are facilitated by appropriate land information infrastructures that include
cadastral and topographic datasets and provide access to complete and up-to-date information about
the built and natural environment.
Land administration comprises an extensive range of systems and processes to manage:

• Land Tenure: the allocation and security of rights in lands; the legal surveys to determine parcel
boundaries; the transfer of property or use from one party to another through sale or lease; and
the management and adjudication of doubts and disputes regarding rights and parcel
boundaries.

• Land Value: the assessment of the value of land and properties; the gathering of revenues
through taxation; and the management and adjudication of land valuation and taxation
disputes.

• Land Use: the control of land use through adoption of planning policies and land use regulations
at national, regional and local levels; the enforcement of land use regulations; and the
management and adjudication of land use conflicts.

• Land Development: the building of new physical infrastructure; the implementation of


construction planning and change of land use through planning permission and granting of
permits.

THE LAND ADMINISTRATION AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LAMS)- information system designed to
provide effective management of land records and efficient delivery of land transactions and
information services to the public

Importance: Land resources are a source of food, shelter and economic development. Managing land
resources sustainably is crucial to ensuring they continue to provide important ecosystem services such
as watershed protection, biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration.
