“…This is partly because there is a dichotomy on the conceptualization of what constitutes land tenure security and hence its measurement. While some scholars posit that having a title to land is direct evidence of having land tenure security [ 25 , 26 , 27 ], others claim that the individual’s perception of tenure is a better measure of land tenure security [ 21 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]—the basic law of social sciences states that people act upon what they believe is true and valid. We assume in this research that both claims are valid, but that there are also several other factors which must be factored into measuring a person’s level of absolute and relative land tenure security.…”

Both urban land tenure insecurity and poor urban health outcomes are research topics of urban geographers and health experts. However, health outcomes or patterns are hardly measured in relation to land tenure security. There are no clear measures or indicators of if and how these two issues interrelate and which type of land tenure deficiency is likely to lead to which kind of health outcomes or patterns. To address this knowledge quandary, we reviewed literature to identify which characteristics of land tenure could relate to which types of health outcomes. The review found four specific land tenure security pathways which significantly influence health outcomes. For each of these, it is possible to identify a set of indicators which could measure the extent of interrelation between land tenure security and health. The result of this process is the design of a list of 46 land tenure-enabled indicators that can be applied empirically. The indicators demonstrate how to design a transdisciplinary approach that connects land management and global urban health knowledge spaces.
