Generally “Land reform is a measurement to separate a large piece of land which is to be given to small farmers or landless farmers where it redistributes an agricultural land by separating large land holdings and distributes to small peasants or landless people which helps to have equal division of land to everyone”(oxford dictionary). Around the world many of the countries have implemented land reform in their country where some are successful and some is unsuccessful. However Bhutan’s first land reform was held in 1950s which was partly successful. By talking briefly about the situation of land act in history, according to Tashi Yetsho’s article, “ prior to 1950s Bhutan has feudalistic structure system of land where land is owned by the …show more content…
And most of the farmers are found with small land holding or landless farmers so in order to have equal distribution of land to nation’s people, country should have redistribution of land by forming some reliable agenda. Suppose government has stated land reform agenda as follows: 1) Confiscate the surplus land from the people who owns more than 25 acres of land and also the land which is not used for the long period of time. 2) Providing suitable technology and infrastructure to develop large scale farming. 3) Providing equal wages to all the workers. By implementing above agenda, a country would experience …show more content…
Therefore to transport finished goods can hardly happen to a country. Small sized economy: Bhutan is a country with small economy where Bhutan is on 105 in global competition index out of 141. So to compete with rest of the world, Bhutan still needs more improvement in many aspects. According to The State of Tsa Wa Tsum “Bhutan is creating equal stakes in the country for all the people as His Majesty stated that the land ownership is the utmost share and investment that a person has in the success of his or her nation and from this can be built his or her future and the future of their children.” Therefore, land reform plays a vital role in person’s life where it helps to build a future of ones. There is not a single country that does not face challenges to the time of redistribution of land, even though Bhutan has a small size of population compared with other countries, Bhutan is still facing several challenges on land reform because some family owns more and 25acres of land and many of the lands are left without utilizing whereas some do not have even a single land. So to distribute land among those landless people, His Majesty the King gives Kyidhu for them which helped to many landless
In any case of mandatory purchase, the purchased property should be used for the public good. The government must have proof of a plan to use the property to improve the lives of the public before the property can be purchased. Property must also be purchased in accordance with law, which will vary from country to country.

Not only will the GLHC lack some valuable sections of land; it will miss an important cultural aspect, in which it wishes to promote. These people have lived on the land for several thousand years and have much to offer in cultural significance. Furthermore, with the increased opportunity for native self-government could lead to even more strict land access by others.

...at small farms constitute 90 percent of the world’s farms and employment of 1.3 billion people. This dominates agriculture in developing countries because two-thirds of the 3 billion rural people in the world live off the income generated by farmers managing some 500 million small farms (Halberg & Müller, 2012, p.21). Additionally, there are benefits to land conservation for local communities that involves reduced environmental hazards, improvement of water quality from ground recharge, economic gains from agricultural production from exporting, and the natural settings that bring tourism generating the economy (McMahon & Urban, 2010 p.2). It is only through the awareness of this informational insight into the differences between community types and their transitions throughout time that the public can explore and discover economic incentives for rural communities.
With the population skyrocketing, it became more and more unlikely that the general population would own their own pieces of land. People who already owned businesses had expanded to meet the demand by the increase of population, so those who tried to start up their own could not live up to the competition. People tried to find land of their own by carving into forests and swamps, yet that land was owned either by Native Americans or other countries.
Perhaps the biggest failure in the reservation system affecting current times is in the status of laws and jurisdiction. Communal land ownership and federal trust restrictions on land ownership and use inhibit economic development and many land allotments are owned collectively by groups of individuals. Multiple ownership makes it difficult to manage the lands and it reduces benefits to individuals. It is also nearly impossible to use the land as collateral for obtaining loans because of federal protection from encumbrances on trust

In law there are two types of land, registered and unregistered. It is necessary to register land so the register precisely reflects the state of the registered property, so it is clear to see who the current owner is and whether there are any third party proprietary interests affecting it; this is important as it would make many lal enquiries easier and will show the property’s reality to any future purchasers. The purpose of land registration according to Gray and Gray (2008) is that “any prospective purchaser of registered land should always be able to verify, by simple examination of the register, the exact nature of all the interests existing in or over the land which he proposes to buy”. There are three main principles of land registration: the insurance principle, curtain principle and the mirror principle. The mirror principle which essentially means that the register reflects reality hence all facts significant to the land title are to be found on the register. The significant facts that should be included in the register are “the owner, the nature of his ownership, and any limitations on his ownership and any rights enjoyed by other persons over the land that are adverse to the owner”. However this is not always the case as some third party proprietary interests override registered dispositions, these are called overriding interests. Overriding interests are binding on a purchaser of any registered land even though they are not on the register.
In order to secure land tenure for the urban informal settlers, different countries have introduced licenses or Certificates in different names. However they all have the same objectives. For instance, in Zambia residents are issued with a 30-year Occupancy Licences while the area undergoes through the process of upgrading. These can be later replaced by certificates of title, which carry the same effect as if the landowner were obtaining a direct lease of the land from the state (UN-Habitat, 2012). In Botswana, Certificate of Use is issued to informal dwellers so as to encourage them on further housing investment (Durand-Lasserve, 2006). In Brazil, Concession of the Real Right to Use is issued to residents. The validity period of these licences varies between 30 and 50 year periods but subject to renew (Van der Molen, 2002).
On the one hand, participatory approach to land use planning can provide openings for the decentralized administration of land management and enhance legal protection of local land rights by contributing to formal recognition of existing land tenure systems. According to Chigbu et al. (2015), four functions of land use planning that directly link to tenure security. 1.
