Land Fragmentation and Socio-Economic Wellbeing

Abstract

Land fragmentation results in reduced agricultural productivity, lack of efficiency, and diminished viability of the land. This study investigates land fragmentation's causes and socio-economic impacts, aiming to develop a conceptual model. Thematic analysis was employed to undertake a systematic literature review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. The findings indicated that land fragmentation resulted in disorganization regarding location and space. This study guides land authorities and urban planners in providing fundamental knowledge to improve land management practices.
