Land use planning is a very contentious term. No matter how it is defined, it involves decisions and activities that represent the future uses of land and attempt to organize these uses in ways that will be beneficial to people who live on or use the land and the environment. Relevant to land use planning is the issue of land tenure, commonly “the relationship among people, as individuals and groups on land and other natural resources”. And the manner in which land rights are held. How people use and exercise rights over land has a tremendous influence on the direction of their development. Most importantly, the pattern of land allocations and the level of tenure security people have can determine the quality of their development. How people use and exercise rights over land has a tremendous influence on the direction of their development. This makes land use planning and land tenure security pertinent issues for developing countries, where land tenure security will always be a defining feature of socioeconomic improvements. Although land use planning often exists in developing countries, it lacks sufficient connection with tenure security.
