| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation examines the question of Land Use in Uganda and analyses the legal and policy framework. It explores the nature of Land Utilisation; the need to regulate its use, the most suitable option land is put to use and most importantly the, the key aspects of land use; that is, land ownership (tenure) and accessibility. However, its focus stays on the legal and policy framework. Uganda has no sufficient laws governing the general issues of land use, though efforts have been to ensure the regulations are in place. Analysis exposes the legal and policy gaps that need to be taken on in order to exhaustively deal with the question of land use ;( land ownership and access}, thus the need for amendment of the prevalent laws. The study highlights the relevant provisions thereof under the prevalent law legislation which can and should be modified to the convenience of the land users and land owners. Further it provides a doorway for new legislation and regulations that can be harmonized within the present land laws with a view of bringing the general land law up to date with the contemporary land policy issues. The study also serves the general purpose of convincing on the need to harmonize or replace discordant land sector laws and bring them in line with the new legal order. | en_US |
