“…It is also found that there is a feeling that an additional payment, probably a percentage of the value, should be paid to all property owners of project affected area. Eminent domain is subject to two essential conditions: private property is to be taken only for public use and just compensation must be paid for the property taken [31]. Land acquisition is also the tool to assemble land in resolving the land supply problems for infrastructure development.…”

Investment in infrastructure development such as road, railways, airport, hydropower, irrigation and town development for public purpose is very important for the development of any country and needs a huge quantity of land. The main objective of the paper is to find out the gaps on land acquisition and compensation processes for infrastructure development projects in Nepal. This research paper is based on the desk study using the experiences of the cases in infrastructure development projects in China, India, Malaysia and Norway. In this study, we emphasize three main issues for identifying the gaps in land acquisition and compensation and these are i) law and regulations, ii) procedure for land acquisition and compensation, and iii) land valuation approaches for compensation. The relevant land governance elements such as public participation, access to information, fair compensation, transparent procedure and stakeholder co-ordination are derived using the World Bank Land Governance Assessment Framework (LGAF) and UN-FAO Voluntary Guideline of Governance of Tenure. The study shows that the practices and processes in compulsory purchase and compensation are quite different in different countries due to its legal, social and political contexts. The study reveals that the different countries have different law and regulations, procedure for land acquisition and land valuation approaches depending upon social, political and economic conditions of the country. The major gap identified from the study about the situation in Nepal is the implementation aspects of land acquisition, compensation and land valuation system in reference to good governance principles namely public participation, access to information, transparent procedure and stakeholder's interaction.

“…Alias and Daud [46] indicate the goal of compensation as an attempt to reinstate the affected person to his/her former station prior to the acquisition if not better. Financial compensation is the payment of the monetary equivalent of the property lost, as well as the other associated losses, to the affected persons [47].…”

Resettlement resulting from dam construction has raised several concerns due to the negative aftermath impacts. In Ghana, the construction of three hydroelectric dams resulted in large-scale resettlements. Given the little experience that Ghana has in resettlements, it is necessary for a robust monitoring structure for resettlements. However, this was not available in the last resettlement undertaken for the Bui Dam Project. This paper aims at developing an assessment framework for monitoring resettlement activities on customary lands from a good governance perspective. Based on four good governance principles, transparency, public participation and inclusiveness, equity and rule of law and accountability, a good governance assessment framework is built and applied to the Bui Dam Project using a case study approach. Data were collected through interviews and focus group discussion with the key actors of the resettlement project. It was first found that the planning stage of the resettlement came out with a robust plan that was to prevent the impoverishment of the affected persons. However, in the implementation of the resettlement, not all good governance principles were adhered to. In conclusion, it was found that by deconstructing the resettlement process with a good governance framework, the problematic areas of the resettlement can be effectively differentiated between the planning and implementation phases.

“…Disagreement between the utility company and the landowners is inevitable when monetary compensation has been seen as inadequate and their daily life was affected. A study by Alias and Daud (2006) have found that the compensation amount for the land acquisition was against the will of the land owner as stipulated in the Malaysian law. Therefore, Alias and Daud (2006) have suggested the need to review the factor of monetary compensation.…”

Power transmission system has been designed as an overhead lines constructed with lattice towers or monopoles; or as underground cables to transmit electricity supply from power plant to consumers. In order to meet the incremental demand of power supply, transmission networks require upgrading works and the construction of more overhead tower or monopole. This paper presents the implication of the community and landowner concerns on the effects of high voltage power transmission overhead lines construction in Peninsular Malaysia. Quantitative approach was applied in this research by distributing questionnaires survey to the targetted respondents. Language, culture, perception, knowledge and other factors such as political influence were significance variables which can affect effective communication strategy in the construction of high voltage power transmission lines in Peninsular Malaysia. Therefore, it is important to have an effective communication between all parties to generate positive outcome in supporting the progressive construction of the high voltage power transmission overhead lines.
