“…10 (2018) (El Helou et al, 2019). Others have been oriented towards technical dimensions of land registration in Syria to underline the need for an electronic system of land registration (Habib, 2020). While these studies offer important insights, they give less attention to the governance of the land registry.…”

This study offers an original analysis into the nature of the governance of the land registry system in three Syrian cities controlled by armed non‐state actors during the civil war. It adopts aqualitative methodology to compare Douma, al Raqqa and Idlib. The management of the land registry has witnessed both localised transformations and significant resilience. As state institutions collapsed and new non‐state governing actors emerged, the old land registry system has fallen apart, and pre‐existing gaps between official records and realestate ownership have deepened, with significant implications for the possibility of sustainable peace in the country.

“…Construction opportunities and the substantial amount of available money in the post-conflict situation attract international construction companies with experience to invest and their early move-in helps these foreign companies to have repeated business with a high margin in the contracted projects (Bray, 2005). Habib (2020) developed a sustainable strategy for multipurpose cadaster in post-conflict in Syria. This strategy might be adopted in construction as well.…”

Purpose Although there are many challenges and constraints for construction organization operation and performance in a post-conflict condition, there is insufficient construction project management literature. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to identify a framework to understand and determine critical constraints and opportunities in a post-conflict condition facing local construction firms in Afghanistan. The proposed framework is composed of three major steps: identify and determine key performance indicators; identify challenges impacting organization operation and performance in post-conflict condition; determine critical constraints and opportunities based on prioritized performance measures; and organizational strength and weakness factors. Design/methodology/approach The strength, weakness, opportunities and threat matrix analysis has been used to determine post-conflict condition constraints and opportunities. Then the analytical hierarchy process has been used to prioritize the measures and identify the constraints and opportunities facing construction companies in a post-conflict situation. The mix-research method is applied to this study to analyse qualitative variables and quantitative variables obtained from the experts’ opinions and 51 filled questioners. Findings The study shows that there are a total of 11 critical constraints and three essential opportunities for construction companies that industry practitioners and policymakers should take into account while formulating the organizational strategy. Practical implications The developed framework will benefit construction companies in improving their performance and operation in after-conflict conditions. Originality/value This paper is the first to provide a comprehensive conceptualization of the challenges and constraints for construction organization operation and performance in a post-conflict condition. It also offers a novel conceptual framework to understand and determine critical constraints and opportunities in a post-conflict condition facing local construction firms in Afghanistan.

“…Building and sustaining a LAS to underpin sustainable development, particularly by focusing on measures to stimulate, stabilize, and enhance the land market, is one of the most crucial goals of government activities [5][6][7]. Sustainable development and management of resources depend on credible and accurate data contained in a cadastral system which is the engine of a LAS [3,8].…”

Land administration is the managing of spatial and legal data pertaining to land. Land administration organizations provide services for land ownership and are essential to a well-functioning land administration system to secure land and property rights for all and support real estate markets. This article reviews the case of the Hellenic Land Administration Reform and the associated changes in the land administration organizations during the economic crisis period (2009–2018). We qualitatively analyze these changes and their actual effects through a set of legislative initiatives according to the orders of change of the enactive theory of reforms and the concept of isomorphism. The study is informed by interviews with key informants involved in the land administration policy domain, and by secondary data, such as legislative documents and reports. Findings show that the legislative initiatives aimed to bring efficiency, transparency, and rationalization to the land administration policy domain by centralizing the collection of land transaction fees and nationalizing the land administration organizations., The enacted legislative initiatives encompassed organizational (second-order) changes within a short period, instead of incremental technical or managerial measures (first-order) to improve ineffective practices and services for citizens. They ended with a drastic organizational transformation, resulting in “premature load bearing” in the involved organizations, which complexified the implementation of an ambitious land administration reform and impacted the smooth operation of the real estate market. The article increases the current insight on the merger of land administration organizations and its implications. It contributes to the land administration scholarly literature on the establishment of new organizations to create a modern cadastral system from a public policy perspective through the orders of change of the enactive theory of reforms.
