Land information is a an important resource in planning, and in undertaking land administration functions such as allocation of interests to land, land adjudication, land valuation, physical planning, etc. Rapid urbanization, however, puts great pressure on personnel delegated to undertake these functions. The personnel can no longer cope with capturing, processing and disseminating land information for the increasing urban population. Observing the failures of land information management to cope with rapid urbanization, the researcher undertook an exploration into the capabilities of LIS to manage land informatioo for The Millennium Park Land Development Project (MPLDP) in Maseru, the Lesotho capital. The project is based on land readjustment principles and is of mulli-stakeholdership. Such big and networked projects have been shown to be associated with land information management problems. Undertaking this research was motivated by many success stories however, world wide, in which LIS was introduced as a tool to assist in land information management. The main themes in this project are firstly, the study of Land re-adjustment as a land management technique to meet land demand for urbanization and secondly land information system as a tool to manage land information for a land re-adjustment project. Study of LR will help understand what land information is required for such a land management project. Study of land information system will help exploring its capabilities that can be applied to manage land in formation for LR projects. Furthermore, as a case study to this, the MPLDP system is analysed. examining the activities and ways in which land information is managed. This analysis is aimed at identifying the constraints that result in the observed back logs in the project activities; and recommending improvements. Many problems and constraints are identified in the MPLDP. As a land surveyor, only improvements related to technical constraints are considered in this research, with cognizance of the legal and institutional issues that need to be addressed in implementation of these improvements. The main improvement discussed is the creation of automated databases and illustrations are given on how these databases could be used to manage land information effectively for the MPLDP. / Thesis (M.Sc.Sur.)-University of Natal, Durban, 2001.

This thesis examines women's access to property ownership in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, tracing women's property rights from the pre-communist period to the present transition to a market economy. Focusing on housing and investment property, it finds that women have a high degree of equality in household property ownership. This equality is due in part to gender equality under socialism as well as to traditions of equal inheritance. The thesis then considers women's property ownership in the context of the current 'anti-feminist' movement that encourages Czech and Slovak women to focus their energy on the domestic sphere. It suggests that the withdrawal of women from the workplace and politics may have serious consequences for gender equality.

En väl fungerande bostadsmarknad är avgörande för ett samhälles utveckling och välfärd. Den stora bostadsbristen i Stockholm, och då särskilt bristen på hyresrätter, har därför länge varit ett omdiskuterat problem. Nästan samtliga av Stockholms kommuner uppgav år 2011 att det råder brist på hyresrätter, ett resultat av minskat byggande i kombination med en hög grad ombildningar till bostadsrätter. Följdproblemen visar sig bland annat i form av svarta marknader för hyreskontrakt, långa kötider samt svårigheter för ungdomar att göra entré på bostadsmarknaden. Denna uppsats fokuserar på alternativa upplåtelseformer och deras möjlighet att komplettera hyresrätten på Stockholms bostadsmarknad, samt deras inverkan på de problem som följer med bristen på hyresrätter. De alternativa upplåtelseformer som studeras närmare är kooperativ hyresrätt samt den nya formen andelsägarlägenhet. Intervjuer har genomförts med aktörer inom respektive upplåtelseform, vilka ligger till grund för presentation och diskussion av formerna samt för en jämförelse med hyresrätten. Det kan konstateras att varken kooperativ hyresrätt eller andelsägarlägenhet kan utgöra något perfekt komplement till hyresrätten. Utifrån en alternativ tolkning, att någon av upplåtelseformerna kan komplettera hyresrätten genom att uppfylla en funktion vilken kan efterfrågas bland befintliga hyresgäster, utgör de båda emellertid ett visst komplement genom att kunna bidra till en mer effektiv flyttkedja på bostadsmarknaden. Då formerna endast bedöms kunna leda till en lägre grad av nybyggnation, antas deras inverkan på hyresrättsbristens följdproblem vara relativt liten. / A well-functioning housing market is critical to a society's development and welfare. The major housing shortage in Stockholm, and in particular the leasehold shortage, has therefore been a controversial issue for long time. Almost every of Stockholm's municipalities stated in 2011 that they were experiencing a leasehold deficit, a result of reduced construction combined with a high degree of remodeling to condominiums. The problems that follow are seen in form of the illegal trading of lease contracts, long waiting times for apartments together with difficulties for young people to enter the housing market. This paper focuses on alternative forms of tenure and their ability to complement the leasehold form on the Stockholm housing market, as well as their impact on the problems resulting from the leasehold shortage. The alternative forms of tenure studied are the cooperative leasehold form and the new form shareowner tenure. Interviews with participants from each tenure form were held, which constitutes the basis for presentation and discussion of the forms and for a comparison with the leasehold form. It is found that neither the cooperative leasehold form nor the shareowner tenure may constitute a perfect complement to the leasehold form. Based on an alternative interpretation, that any of the tenure forms can complement the leasehold form by fulfilling a function which could be requested from some tenants, they both constitute a certain complement by contributing to a more effective movement in the housing market. Since the forms are only expected to result in a minor level of new construction, their impact on the leasehold deficit is assumed to be relatively insignificant.
