		As we enter a new millennium, the pattern of landownership in the rural African American community represents the mirror opposite of the trend in fl land acquisition one hundred years ago at the dawn of the twentieth century.
		Judges in partition actions, for example, have considered landownership and monetary distributions from a sale of the land to be fungible; the value of stable communities has been ignored or minimized.
		Moreover, landownership has facilitated participation in the larger society for those given the opportunity to acquire land.

		Landownership prior to the reforms was highly unequal: the richest 4 per cent of farm households owned 50 per cent of the land and the Japanese owned another 20 per cent of the land.
		The lack of landownership deprives each of them of a share of the factor income attributable to land, but there is no additional burden on those landless households that obtain an income as wage workers as opposed to tenants.
		For example, a high Gini coefficient of landownership is a cause for concern, but if the income-ranked concentration ratio of landownership happens to be low, this implies that the source of income inequality is not primarily inequality in the ownership of land.

	Landownership Maps and Atlases:Geography and Map Division
		Landownership maps and atlases are a particularly rich source of information about women's property, businesses, and relative wealth, also providing insight into family structure.
		A variety of other kinds of maps, such as battlefield maps and urban plans, provide landownership and land use information in addition to the primary purpose for which the map was drawn.
		Landownership material is also available in atlas format, particularly at the county level.

		It was assumed that landownership could be inevitably transferred to the heir in the succession to a house at the death of househead.
		First, the requisite for transferring landownership in the succession to a house at the retirement of househead was to renew the land certificate.
		Second, the requisite for transferring landownership in the legacy was to register a document at the town or village headman office.

	Land reform (Land settlement and cooperatives) - Réforme agraire (Colonisation et coopératives agricoles) ...
		The aim was to determine the extent of landownership by women and their access to farm inputs, extension services, agricultural loans and membership of cooperatives.
		Landownership (land rights) is generally defined by the land tenure system which basically determines the ability of individuals to gain access to land as well as to security over its use.
		Women's lack of landownership rights has hindered their access to bank loans, as they are left without land rights to offer as a security.

	Chapter 5: Land and Society in Golden Age Castile
		There are two origins of peasant landownership in early modern Castile: the property owned by small farmers (both Christian and Moslem) in the pre-Reconquest Iberian Moslem kingdoms; and the private property granted to settlers during the Reconquest through the fueros (law codes) and cartas pueblos (municipal charters) of the newly reconquered areas.
		To truly understand the socioeconomic stratification of the rural population, it is also necessary to consider the size of the population, the demographic development of the area, general economic conditions, and occupational classifications.
		The available data about the proportion of peasant landownership in the sixteenth century is too spotty for a definitive statement, but if I had to hazard a guess based on the statistical information at hand, I would venture that perhaps one-fifth of the arable lands of Castile was owned by peasants.

	Chapter 4: Land and Society in Golden Age Castile
		Landownership was of paramount importance to the Castilian nobility.
		But the most important roots of ecclesiastical landownership seem to lie in the Reconquest, from which both church and nobility emerged as major landowners, thanks to liberal royal grants in recognition of their support for the crusade.
		The concentration of landownership in the hands of the church was a source of concern to taxpayers, because the privileged estates were exempt from many forms of taxation, and that meant that the tax burden fell all the more heavily on the non-noble lay citizens of Castile.

		In particular, the central theme of landownership, which conditions all of the novel's conflicts, and above all that between Natty Bumppo and Judge Temple, is unsatisfactorily resolved (Swann 23).
		Natty is rescued from jail by Oliver Edwards and Chingachgook, with the collusion of Elizabeth Temple, who thus reveals her embryonically "middle-of-the- road" status.

	Identifying the Solutions (3) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		With regard to a comprehensive spatial database of landownership I would suggest that, based upon experience with the Highland Council Landownership Database, that there needs to be statutory measures to back up such a survey since existing sources of information are inadequate on their own.
		Indeed I would go further and suggest that there should be a full census of landownership in all non built- up areas every five years to capture a great deal of information about patterns of occupation, land use, landowner motivation and financial performance of holdings.
		The experience of the Highland Council Landownership Database suggests this would be relatively straightforward to implement given the computerisation of the Register of Sasines (enabling efficient updating) although costs need to be examined more closely in relation to thresholds, particularly within the external boundaries of large holdings.

		Landownership still confers political power with substantial numbers of influential landowners enjoying the right to legislate on land-related matters in the House of Lords.
		Landownership patterns and the power enjoyed by landowners within the current tenure system have profound influence on urban and, in particular, rural development.
		Landownership patterns and the character and motivations of individual landowners also play an enormous role in determining how land is used.

	Duck Habitat and Population Size
		Estimation was the computation of an average density by landownership from the sample plots in each waterfowl management district and the multiplication of that value by the total amount of area of that landownership in each waterfowl management district.
		The overlay of plots on 1:250,000 landownership maps, described under stratification, provided estimates of the amount of land by landownership in each stratum and in each waterfowl management district.
		Landownership classes include land owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (service) and privately owned land (private) in the prairie pothole region of the United States, 1987-90.

	Is there an (objective) definition of wealth? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Landownership would still be justified by quant tradition == at the expense of the landless.
		But then they justify their landownership with a long string of historical transactions proving that they own the land they claim to (courts take this very seriously!) You take the same attitude toward non-land components that haven't been justly acquired just like land.
		At any rate you critisize landownership gain by 'because I bought it' because it ignores first cause, and yet you defend non-landownership for this same 'mine because I bought it' even though its first cause is just as in doubt, which is a contradiction.

	East European Constitutional Review
		The introduction of private landownership in Russia is a critical problem, and one on which social consensus is lacking.
		In a very basic sense, the dichotomy of private and public law originates in the very nature of landownership or, rather, in the interpretation of it in domestic jurisprudence (where the idea of land is defined as a "special kind of property").
		Opposed to these trends were the decisions of the Constitutional Court, whose legal position was decisively formulated in a resolution of June 7, 2000, and further developed in a decision of June 27, 2000, in the course of examining provisions in the constitutions of the republics of Altai, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Ingushetia, Komi, and North Ossetia.

	Margaret Chase Smith Center for Public Policy - Maine Policy Review - Maine Forests: A Century of Change, 1900-2000 and ...
		At the close of the nineteenth century, the state's forest area was at an all time low; landownership was changing rapidly with the emergence of new paper companies; a growing number of wildlife species were threatened; widespread unease over the future of Maine's forests was evident.
		Many believe the state's spruce-fir forest is being overcut; landownership is changing rapidly; fear exists that the sustainability of Maine's forests and wildlife populations has been severely compromised.
		Landownership was changing—lumber companies, not all beloved, and not all local in any event, were selling out to new paper companies.

		The pattern of landownership is an important influence on how land is used and on the social and economic development of communities.
		Currently, in Scotland, the pattern of landownership is massively concentrated in a few hands which leads to the social and economic disempowerment of rural communities.
		Providing public information about landownership is essential to this understanding and, in addition, provides a range of other practical benefits to individuals, communities and organisations who need, for a variety of reasons, to know who owns Scotland.

		This article will discuss the development of the early land grants to Indian citizens and four atlases or platbooks of landownership which were significant in the promotion and speculation of investment in eastern Oklahoma soon after it became a state.
		The landownership atlases by Hastain and Moore were reasonably priced and small enough in size to be easily carried in one's pocket for general reference purposes.

	Lenin: A Comparison of the Stolypin and the Narodnik Agrarian Programmes
		The contradiction between capitalism, which prevails throughout the world, including Russia, and medieval landownership, as embodied both in the landed estates and in the peasant allotments, is irreconcilable.
		The old, medieval system of landownership is bound to be broken up, and the more drastic, ruthless and bold this break-up, the better for the entire development of Russia and the better for the workers, and for the peasants, who are today crushed and oppressed by innumerable survivals of medievalism, as well as by capitalism.
		Because capitalist landownership cannot be abolished, by its very nature, through any transfer of the land, not even through the transfer of all the land to the state (i.e., through what the science of political economy calls land “nationalisation”).

	Turkey - Land Tenure
		Because no comprehensive cadastral surveys have been carried out, landownership data are still poor in the mid-1990s, but a general picture of ownership patterns emerges.
		Although experts believed that landownership was more concentrated than data on farm size implied, it was clear that Turkey had more equal distribution of land than did many other developing countries.
		Although Atatürk had stressed the need for upper and lower limits on landownership, the latter to halt the fragmentation process, little in the way of effective land reform had been carried out by the early 1990s.

		A suggestion made by Postan prompted him to take up English landownership in the 17th and 18th centuries as his subject.
		The first, English Landownership, 1680-1740, published in the Economic History Review in 1940, displayed particular power and importance.
		He brought a stylish decisiveness to his many other offices: chairman of the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals of the Universities of the UK (1976-77); president of the Royal Historical Society (1976-80); and committee member of the Social Science Research Council, the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts and the Oxfordshire district health authority.

		However, at the deeper level in the specific context of the Marshall Islands, this viewpoint is considered simplistic and is a “pale shadow” (ibid: 5) when examined against the much more deeply rooted and highly complex nature of land ownership in the country.
		The gulf in the divergence between the modern /western view of landownership and the traditional viewpoint may best be explained through an examination of some of the key tenets that generally govern the latter as distinct from the more contemporary view.
		That there is a consistent pattern of convergence in their views and analysis on the subject, despite the different periods in which each experience took place, indicates the uniformity in the basic tenets underlying landownership, and the unbroken observance of these tenets in the Marshall Island land tenure system.

	Egypt - Land Ownership and Reform
		The 1952 law was followed by others in 1961 and 1969 that aimed at deepening the reform and further reducing the maximum size of landownership.
		Land tenure, however, rather than landownership reflected how land was actually operated in Egypt.
		The rapid changes that occurred in Egypt after 1975 and the increasing mechanization and intensification of agriculture led some scholars to conclude that landownership might no longer be the sole instrument of land control or wealth.

		Privatization of land, both urban and agricultural, has been a controversial issue for Russian legislators; there is a strong body of opinion that land is fundamentally public property that cannot belong to any single person.
		In the late Soviet period, new landownership laws confused rather than simplified the legal status of various types of land.
		But additional legislation, drafted by the Yeltsin administration to expedite landownership, was blocked in the State Duma in 1996.

	Sources of Income Inequality and Poverty in Rural Pakistan
		In rural Pakistan, the lack of land--37 percent of the survey households own no land--forces the poor to earn the bulk of their livelihood from those sources of income that are not connected with land, such as nonfarm employment and livestock.
		Because land is distributed so unevenly in the study areas and in rural Pakistan as a whole, the main benefits of landownership--such as crop income and land rent--tend to go to the rich.
		According to this report, changes in physical assets (such as landownership) and the household labor force (through education and migration) account for about one-quarter of the changes in income of the poor.
