Description

Theoretically, land tenure systems should be the over-all composition, structure and processes of providing access and rights in lands for informal settlers. In practice, the land tenure system in the Philippines is limited by the narrow perspective on land distribution or relocation, and does not extend to securing property rights. The discussion is intended to map the reasons why land title distribution in many developing countries has not been signified as a means to capital accumulation and property rights to provide more credibility and reliability to access credit to improve living condition, but is viewed as an end in itself. The review on relevant materials is aimed at identifying and analyzing the significant weight and impact on the improvement in the lives of the poor of security of tenure and awarding of land titles.
