Land Tenure Center Newsletter
Number 81, Spring 2001, p. 11
The Land Tenure Center, the World Bank, and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy are conducting a survey of the use of economic policy tools to help implement land use plans in the developing world.
You can help by providing information on economic land use policy tools currently in use in your country, region, or other developing country. An "economic" land use policy tool is any policy or program that creates incentives to encourage or assist individuals in exchanging rights in land. Economic incentive policies provide financial rewards (or penalties) for undertaking specified actions that support (or undermine) social goals for land use. These economic polices are in contrast to the regulatory policies, such as zoning, that are frequently used to help implement land use plans.
If you have information to share, complete the survey at http://www.ies.wisc.edu/ltc/survey.html or email Professor Richard Barrows: rbarrows@cals.wisc.edu.
