“…For instance, focusing on price drivers, Lehn and Bahrs (2018) found urban sprawl and livestock production to be the most important factors driving the price of agricultural land in Germany and suggested a focus on regulation that underlines these factors instead of new land price related regulations if society is seeking a reduction in land prices. Juknelienė et al (2017) assessed the regulation of legal aspects in relation to territorial planning in Lithuania. Nixon and Newman (2016) evaluated the efficacy of land use regulation in British Columbia, and found the regulation to be successful in protecting farmland.…”

Agricultural and forestry land markets are regulated in several European countries. However, assessing the economic consequences of land market regulation for agricultural and forestry firms is methodologically challenging for various reasons. The aim of this study is to highlight the usefulness of exploring expert stakeholders’ mental models in order to gain insights into the economic impacts of agricultural and forestry land market regulation. We use thematic analysis based on in-depth interview data to explore Swedish expert stakeholders’ mental models concerning the regulation of the Swedish agricultural and forestry land market. This research strategy facilitated a rich understanding of the effects of land regulation on economic consequences. Findings indicate that current regulation does not have any major impact on the economic situation of agricultural and forestry firms in Sweden. This is interesting from the perspective of agricultural and forestry land market policy.

“…The policy's implementation is a continuous, non-linear process, and dynamic [50] failure to revisit the original idea has failed the entire application. However, in addition to the development of a consensus, stakeholders' participation, conflict resolution, adjustments, contingency planning, and adaption, it requires resource mobilization [51,52]. Decision-makers and policymakers are tasked with resource mobilization to realize changes.…”

Land Conflict Management through the Implementation of the National Land Policy in Tanzania: Evidence from Kigoma Region

The land policy in Tanzania, which has been implemented since 1995, aims to resolve land-use problems. This study explored the implementation of land policy in rural Tanzania. A cross-sectional multiple data collection technique was performed during the period July–November, 2017 to examine whether the policy has addressed land issues, including land conflicts. The findings indicate a significant association between immigrants and land conflicts, thus implying an insecure land tenure. The results also show that the realization of land policy was hampered by insufficient budgetary allocation and too few land staff to spearhead the land policy and legislation requirements. In view of these findings, this article suggests that the government must mobilize the resources required for registering communal land and simultaneously reinforce the use of social institutions, cultural norms, and adjoining landowners in securing land rights. This decision will encourage the majority of rural landowners (peasants and herdsmen) to invest in their land for higher and sustainable production.

“…The study was conducted in Lithuania, located in Central Europe (Figure 1) and having historically strong links with Eastern Europe. Land use development in Lithuania in recent decades strongly depended on the radical societal transformations after Lithuania broke away from the Soviet Union in 1990 and later joined the European Union in 2004 [35]. The area of three land uses important in GHG accounting and management (forest, producing land and grassland) was rather similar (around 28-30%) in 1971.…”

Effective management decisions regarding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions may be hampered by the lack of scientific tools for modeling future land use change. This study addresses methodological principles for land use development scenario modeling assumed for use in processes of GHG accounting and management. Associated land use policy implications in Lithuania are also discussed. Data on land uses, available from the National Forest Inventory (NFI) and collected for GHG accounting from the land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector in the country, as well as freely available geographic information, were tested as an input for modeling land use development in the country. The modeling was implemented using the TerrSet Land Change Modeler. Calibration of the modeling approach using historical land use data indicated that land use types important for GHG management in the LULUCF sector were predicted with an accuracy above 80% during a five-year period into the future, while the prediction accuracy for forest and built-up land was 96% or more. Based on several land management scenarios tested, it was predicted that the LULUCF sector in Lithuania will accumulate CO2, with the forest land use type contributing most to CO2 absorption. Key measures to improve the GHG balance and carbon stock changes were suggested to be the afforestation of abandoned or unused agricultural land and prevention of the conversion of grassland into producing land.
