Land tenure systems refer to the ways in which land is owned, managed, and used within a society. These systems determine who has the right to use land, how long they can use it, and under what conditions. Common types of land tenure include private ownership, public ownership, and communal land tenure, where land is shared among a group. Different countries and cultures have unique land tenure systems that reflect their social, economic, and legal frameworks. For example, in some regions, land may be inherited through family lines, while in others, it may be allocated by the government or local authorities. Understanding these systems is crucial for effective land management and sustainable development.
