Defining Administration and

Land Management
 Land Administration and
Management
• Land management is concerned with the
management of land as a finite resource for the
betterment of society. This includes considerations of
land as a basis for revenue and economic activity and
quality of life (eg clean water, recreation). Effective
and timely decision making is often limited by
inadequate land information.
• Land administration functions provide services to
government, business and society generally on land
tenure security, land valuation (appraisal) and land
characteristics. This requires: maintaining land rights,
land survey and maps and land market (valuation)
information up to date and disseminating that
information.Courtesy of Land Equity International
