It shows why “appropriate human behaviour” matters for secure access to land, people’s lives, and societal development. Drawing on research and real-life voices, the book highlights common land-related challenges and the human behaviour behind them. It also offers practical ideas for governments and land professionals to improve land tenure systems to support fair, secure, and lasting access to land.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr Uchendu Eugene Chigbu\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Professor of Land Administration at the Namibia University of Science and Technology.
