registration model

4. GIZ/LMRED Land Tenure Security
Approaches
1. Land tenure security through PLUP
process
 3 maps produced:
 Current land use map
 PLUP map
 Ownership map
 Communal land (big parcels, e.g. village
managed use forest) has been documented on
ownership map
 PLUP map officially endorsed by District
Governor

2. Land tenure security through communal
land registration process
 Communal lands (including village school, village authority
office, sacred forest etc.) are digitized on Lao LandReg System
and documented on cadastral map for issuing land title.
 Registration of all communal lands in the systematic land
registration approach must be specially considered as it has
different constraints: accessibility, unclear distinction with state
lands, unclear boundary lines with adjacent lands (village
production forest and old fellow), big parcels-labor intensive
and time consuming, selection of survey technique, availability
of necessary documents as certification of communal lands.
 In case of systematic registration exercise cannot be conducted
due to either budget constraints or labor and time consuming,
special titling only communal lands can be an option.

communal land, e. g. agriculture, residential

3. Land tenure security through land titling process
 Article 49 of the Land Law: “A land title is the only
document which is considered as the main evidence for
permanent land use rights”. (ownership).
 Land Registration/titling has two main aspects:
 Cadastral survey (engineer), to indentify the land
parcel regarding precise shape, size and location.
 Land Adjudication (lawyer), to indentify and certify
the legitimate owners of the land
 GIZ/LMRED (and NUIRDP) has introduced the new survey
technology to achieve a fast and accurate solutions.
(ideal combination would be fast-cheap-accurate)
 A database application Lao LandReg can handle both
spatial and ownership information
