    Thailand

    In 1982 the population of Thailand was about 48 million and there was increasing pressure on land resources. This paper describes how the Department of Lands designed and implemented a 20 year Land Titling Program (LTP) to grant secure tenure to agricultural landholders. The success of the land-titling program in Thailand has been due to a number of factors. A major factor has been the clear vision for the project, the long-term plan to achieve this vision and the commitment of RTG and the key stakeholders to project implementation.

    The policy reforms called for in the
    transition from a socialist command economy to a developing
    market economy bring both opportunities and risks to a
    country's citizens. In poor economies, the initial
    focus of reform efforts is naturally the rural sector, which
    is where one finds the bulk of the population and almost all
    the poor. Economic development will typically entail moving
    many rural households out of farming into more remunerative

    Timor-Leste

    This report examines land access,
    disputes, and dispute resolution in Timor-Leste, using
    findings from the justice module included in an extension of
    the 2007 Timor-Leste Survey of Living Standards (TLSLS2) and
    a review of relevant social-science literature. The
    extension survey (TLSLSx) revisited a nationally
    representative subsample of the TLSLS2 between April and
    October 2008. The respondent for the justice module was

    Timor-Leste

    As in other societies in Southeast Asia
    and the Pacific, customary social organization features
    strongly in rural Timor-Leste. As well as providing avenues
    for conflict resolution, the influence of customary systems
    extends to land tenure. As the state, development partners,
    private investors, non-governmental organizations (NGOs),
    and others seek to promote rural development in Timor-Leste,
    they will be forced to engage in some way with customary

    Rapid population growth in many
    developing countries has raised concerns regarding food
    security and household welfare. To understand the
    consequences of population growth in a general equilibrium
    setting, this paper examines the dynamics of population
    density and its impacts on household outcomes. The analysis
    uses panel data from Indonesia combined with district-level
    demographic data. Historically, Indonesia has adapted to

    The 2003 land law defines that the Land
    Tenure Certificate (LTCs) carries both the wife's and
    husband's names. Theoretically, the requirement of both
    the wife's and husband's names on the LTCs aims at
    enabling the wife to participate more actively in household
    economic production for poverty reduction, and to protect
    the rights of the woman in the event of civil disputes over
    the land that has been provided with a LTCs. A field-based

    In the 1980s the Thai government tried to legalize squatters by issuing special titles that restricted the sale and rental of the land. Using data from 2,874 farming households collected in 1997, the author finds that in places where these government titles where issued, leased plots are more likely to be titled than those that are self-cultivated. For these areas, he uses a model to estimate a 6 percent risk premium in the rental rate for untitled plots.

    In 1982, because there was increasing pressure on land resources in Thailand, the Department of Lands designed and implemented a 20 year Land Titling Program (LTP) to grant secure tenure to agricultural landholders. The success of the program has been due to a number of factors, including the clear vision for the project, the long-term plan to achieve this vision and the commitment of RTG and key stakeholders to project implementation. There was also a strong policy, legal and institutional framework for land administration in Thailand and a long history of land titling.
