“…But there is a common understanding that the core issue of the land‐tenure system as subject matter for research is the behaviour of people with respect to land as property, as a source of income, as a place of residence and as the basis for family life. Hence, the land‐tenure conditions of any social and geographic setting can be appraised and evaluated according to how well they meet the needs of the people (Schickele, ). Therefore, I employ the holistic approach of assessment in qualitative terms on the principle of how well peri‐urban landholders are benefiting from the existing land‐tenure system to examine the nature and practice of land tenure and property rights in the changing peri‐urban areas of Ethiopia.…”

Ethiopia's urban expansion and development strategy has been based on the acquisition of land by government from adjacent peri-urban areas. The land in the peri-urban areas is predominantly agricultural in nature, and it has been held by local farmers or landholders. This article aims to examine the nature of urban expansion and development from the perspective of the land rights of the local peri-urban landholders. To achieve this purpose, it has employed a case-study approach. As urban territory extends into adjacent peri-urban areas, the land rights of local landholders are expected to be automatically cancelled and transferred to people who can pay for a lease. This shows that very little attention is paid to the land rights of local landholders in peri-urban areas in the process of urban expansion and development. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that local landholders in those areas have a prevailing sense of insecurity about their land.

“…Land tenure security is considered as part of social protection (Mahadevia 2011). Land tenure is relative to the conditions under which farmers hold and occupy the land (Schickele 1952). Therefore, agricultural productivity can be influenced by land tenure through the security (or investment) effect (Gavian and Fafchamps 1996;Yegbemey et al 2013).…”
