Land conflicts occur in Lao PDR in both the urban and rural environment. Recent research work points to an increase of land conflicts in a range of areas however it has been difficult to monitor how conflict resolution activities are actually working because detailed information on the types and nature of land conflicts, their occurrence rates and resolution mechanisms applied was not available. The Lao-German Land Policy Development Project, which is making contributions to land policy development, considered it relevant and timely to analyse the present land conflict situation and conflict resolution in the Lao PDR.
