An evaluation framework for land readjustment practices

An Evaluation Framework for Urban Cadastral System Policy in Ethiopia

“…This issue has been suggested by the group of cadastral experts and administrators in order to be able to develop a comprehensive framework. In contrast to the results of Steudler et al [19], Mitchell et al [33], and Yilmaz et al [27], which all limit the applications and impacts of cadastral systems to legal and technical aspects in particular, it is recommended to expand the effects of cadastral systems beyond this narrow focus. Instead, their performance should also be connected to social, economic, and environmental concerns, since the effects also help communities by solving boundary-related disputes arising among landholders.…”

“…Different scholars have developed an evaluation framework from the concept of organizational pyramids [31]. For instance, Steudler et al [32], Mitchell et al [33], and Yilmaz et al [27] propose an evaluation framework based on five levels, i.e., policy level, management level, operational level, external factors, and review process. These levels are divided into evaluation aspects, which are particular parts within levels.…”

“…This systematic approach identifies good practices and their indicators in order to assess the strengths and weaknesses of operational performance of an organizational system [16]. According to the UN declaration [27], under chapter 40 (4), one of the key underlying assumptions about indicators is that they are a precondition for improved decision-making [27]. According to international standards, a framework provides an evaluation technique that enables the identification of indicators for cadastral systems subject to improvement [21,[27][28][29].…”

An indicator is a specific, observable, and measurable characteristic, which shows changes or the degree of progress of a system in achieving a specific outcome [20].…”

Understanding Urban Land Governance through “action space”: Implications for access to land for low-income housing in managing informal settlements

“…A survey of literature on urban land governance and the allocation of land for low-income housing through LR reveals a need for additional studies. Yilmaz et al (2015), for instance, call for further study to evaluate applicability of LR to the contexts where legal tenure is unclear. Others have indicated the potential of LR in the allocation of some portions of developed land to accommodate low-income groups (Sandhu, 2004;Turk, 2014;Turk & Korthals Altes, 2014).…”
