“…These new and often cross-cutting issues may threaten traditional forest bureaucracies through, e.g., a redistribution of power among a number of land-use-related state agencies. Fundamentally, state agencies, as bureaucratic politics and related literature reveal (e.g., Krott, 2005;Olsen, 2006;Peters, 2001;Giessen et al, 2014;Buijs et al, 2014;Kumar and Kant, 2005;Bennett et al, 2012Bennett et al, , 2013, compete for power in the form of formal mandates to pursue policies in these emerging issue areas and to acquire staff and budgets. This competition for power has been identified as an important factor in land use and forest politics (Pedersen, 2010;Krott et al, 2014;Aurenhammer, 2011Aurenhammer, , 2012Ojha et al, 2014;Ongolo, 2015).…”

“…Secure property rights are argued to be a key welfare‐enhancing function of the state that enables development (North ). Finally, effective land administration has been seen as a critical public good (Bennett et al ) and cadasters as the “engine of land administration” (Williamson et al , 3). Overall, cadasters have been described as “an instrument of control which both reflects and consolidates the power of those who commission it” (Kain and Baigent , 344).…”

This article presents a theoretical argument of how and why democratization at different levels of state capacity matters for public goods provision and subjects the argument to empirical tests. Building on rational choice theories of public goods production, we argue that credible enforcement before credible commitmentdemocratizing after the state has acquired high levels of state capacity-leads to a more efficient social order than the opposite sequence. Using a theoretically grounded and novel indicator of historical state capacity-the extent and quality of cadastral records-the analysis shows that those countries where the state developed extensive enforcement capacities before democratization exhibit, on average, better provision of essential public goods and are less corrupt.

“…Land administration systems (LASs) are a vital instrument of sustainable development and good governance. This good governance is provided through the concept of spatial data infrastructure (SDI) [6] [7], the land administration domain model (LADM) [1] and the property right infrastructures (PRI) [8]. These land administration systems provide services to the public [9] through availability of spatial information.…”

This paper develops a model that could be used to visualize and predict the violation of restrictions in a given forest. The violation of restriction in this case is assumed to be the difference in areal extent between two forest cover scenes with time; termed "deforestation". It analyses the relationship in forest cover changes overtime in Ganye Forest Reserve and Glide Cross Country Farm in Adamawa state, Nigeria. Cadastral maps of the forest reserve and farmland were used as the base maps, while the satellite images served as the spatio-temporal data. Landsat ETM+ images of 2003, 2008 and 2013 were used to identify, determine and estimate the violation of restrictions. The result shows that the violation of restrictions could be reliably determined for both the forest reserve and farmland and forecast made in order to predict future occurrence. It also revealed a continuous deforestation in the forest reserve, while in the farmland regeneration of forest stock was noticed. This information is very vital for forest management, planning and decision making in a viable land administration domain.
