“…As most of the tourism development is run by international operators as chartered holiday packages (all inclusive), it has been criticised of not blending into the society and its traditions and customs (Gössling, 2002;Mustelin, 2008). These land use pressures are coupled with imprecise and uncoordinated land use planning, rapid population growth and urbanisation, weak practical implementation of land tenure and security, and lack of community participation (Törhönen, 1998(Törhönen, , 2004RGZ, 2004;Guyer et al, 2007;Myers, 2008).…”

“…After the pilot finished, we also learned that few landowners had less trust for village leaders. The real reasons why eligible landowners avoid participating in the first titling campaign are essential issues to explore which are not the focus of this paper, see, e.g., [48]. However, this information strengthens the research topic questioning the relationship between the formal certification and the community perceived security to their property [8,9], or land registration effectiveness [49], which are very diverging and heterogenic in developing countries [50].…”

This paper presents the results from a quality and usability analysis of participatory land registration (PaLaR) in Indonesia's rural areas, focusing on data quality, cost, and time. PaLaR was designed as a systematic community-centered land titling project collecting requisite spatial and legal data. PaLaR was piloted in two communities situated in Tanggamus and Grobogan districts in Indonesia. The research compared spatial data accuracy between two approaches, PaLaR and the normal systematic land registration approach (PTSL) with respect to point accuracy and polygon area. Supplementary observations and interviews were undertaken in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the spatial and legal data collection, as well as logical consistency of the data collected by the community committee, using a mobile application. Although the two pilots showed a lower spatial accuracy than the normal method (PTSL), PaLaR better suited local circumstances and still delivered complete spatial and legal data in a more effective means. The accuracy and efficiency of spatial data collection could be improved through the use of more accurate GNSS antennas and a seamless connection to the national land databases. The PaLaR method is dependent on, amongst other aspects, inclusive and flexible community awareness programs, as well as the committed participation of the community and local offices.Land 2020, 9, 79 2 of 27 challenging [1]. Under the current legal and institutional framework, Indonesian systematic land titling activities are procedurally demanding and rigid, requiring active participation from communities, villages, and government officers, owing to uncoordinated and sporadic registration activities in the past [2].Fit for purposes land administration (FFP LA) principles aim to accelerate land registration activities utilizing spatial, institutional, and legal framework and also call for incremental improvement [3]. FFP LA has been tested, if not implemented, worldwide [4,5]. Although there are comprehensive FFP LA implementing guidelines available [6], see also [7], finding the best-fit land registration and spatial data collection method suitable for the country context remains a significant task in itself: there are no one size fits all approaches. Further, managing the financial, political, legal, and administrative aspects regarding large-scale registration campaigns remains challenging, even when FFP LA approaches are used.Indonesia's current progress on land registration provides an example to examine how quality, cost, and speed can be leveraged to reach the Indonesian government's goal of registering all unregistered land parcels by 2025. The central government launched PTSL (Pendaftaran Tanah Sistematik Lengkap-a complete systematic land registration for all land parcels using fixed boundary approaches with terrestrial and photogrammetry surveys) as mandated by the President through President Instruction No. 2/2018. Before PTSL was launched in 2017, the capacity for land mapping and certification was around one...

“…There are currently a variety of tenure systems in South Africa (Cousins & Hornby, 2006), which Törhönen (2004) refers to as multi-layered tenure, which is linked to insecurity of land tenure (van Asperen, 2014). In rural areas, communal tenure is said to be the predominant tenure system (Kitchin & Ovens, 2013), and the land is legally owned by the State (Weideman, 2004) under the administration of traditional councils (Kitchin & Ovens, 2013) and therefore the traditional authorities continue to play a major role in allocating land to rural people.…”
