Abstract

AbstractPerfecting land title refers to the process of securing tenure on land. It refers to the assurance that the land one holds for an agreed period of time and purpose is certain. It requires a level of legitimacy. It is on record that agriculture, forestry and mining sectors constitute about 70% of Ghana’s gross domestic product. However, the lack of several large-scale plantations in Ghana can be partly attributed to the land tenure system. Land rights in rural communities are not secured in that the lands are not themselves well defined and rights are not documented. The study used modern survey methods to clearly map out farms in a systematic manner for farmers under a cooperative for rubber plantation development. The rights of tenant farmers and landholders are clearly and legally documented and registered into the formal land administration system. The spatial and attribute data are incorporated into a Geographic Information System (GIS) that serves as tool for data management on the farmers. The pilot study was successful in improving not only tenure security and data access, but also access to funding by participating farmers. Keywords: Land Tenure Security, Registration, Spatial Data, Attribute Data

完善农村土地所有权，促进财富创造和可持续发展

摘要土地权属完善是指土地使用权的保障过程。它指的是保证一个人在商定的时间和目的内拥有的土地是确定的。它需要一定程度的合法性。有记录显示，农业、林业和采矿业约占加纳国内生产总值的70%。然而，加纳缺乏几个大型种植园的部分原因是土地保有制度。农村社区的土地权利没有得到保障，因为土地本身没有明确界定，权利也没有记录在案。本研究采用现代调查方法，为橡胶种植合作社下的农民系统地清晰地绘制了农场地图。佃农和土地所有者的权利在正式的土地管理制度中得到了明确和合法的记录和登记。空间数据和属性数据被整合到地理信息系统(GIS)中，作为农民数据管理的工具。试点研究不仅成功地改善了权属保障和数据获取，而且改善了参与研究的农民获得资金的机会。关键词:土地权属保障、登记、空间数据、属性数据
