Land management can also defined as the process of managing the use and development in (both rural and urban settings) of land resources. Land resources are used for a variety of purposes which may include organic agriculture, forestry, water resources management and eco-tourism projects and even mining. In Zimbabwe we have many ministries which are concerned with land management and registration of properties.
Ministry of Justice Legal and Parliamentary Affairs. The Ministry of Justice deals with drafting of Acts and Laws that governs ownership of properties. The ministry also works with other ministries like the Ministry of Lands and the Ministry of Local Government in legalization of properties. It also keeps records of properties, this including the type of property and information on the owner. It also offers legal advice and assistance on acquisition and registration of properties. Also here are some of the Acts that deals with immovable property.
Judge or High Court may order property to be attached or sold to satisfy claims. Upon considering any application for the sale of immovable property abandoned and left derelict to satisfy any such claim as is referred to in section five, the judge before whom such application is laid or the High Court, should such judge, by order granted, refer such application to the High Court, may order that the property mentioned in the application be attached and sold to satisfy such claims as aforesaid thereon.
Ministry of Lands. The ministry of lands provides adequate information on land management and development. It provides agricultural knowhow to farmers in how to maximize the use of land. It also provides advise on land conservation through its agent for example EMMA. The ministry has also established a department of land information and management system with works on technological researches on land management and development.
The ministry is also responsible for land administration which holds the responsibility of establishing and managing land control boards, processing and approval of development application for example, insurance of consents to charge, lease or transfer, alienation of land for development to public institutions and individuals. Other functions are processing of ownership documents such as title/grants for both public and community, setting apart land for public use.
Ministry of Local Government Rural and Urban Development. The Ministry of Local Government Rural and Urban Development concerned with the technical and political process concerned with land use, protection and use of the environment, public welfare and the design of urban and rural environments, including air, water and the infrastructure passing into or out of these areas such as transportation, communication and distribution networks.
Land-use planning is the general term used for a branch of urban planning encompassing various disciplines which seek to order and regulate land use in an efficient and ethical way, thus preventing and-use conflicts. Governments use land-use planning to manage the development of land within their jurisdictions. In doing so, the governmental unit can plan for the needs of the community while safeguarding natural resources. To this end, it is the systematic assessment of land and water potential, alternatives for land use, and economic and social conditions in order to select and adopt the best land-use options. Often one element of a comprehensive plan, a land-use plan provides a vision for the future possibilities of development in neighborhoods, districts, cities, or any defined planning area.
