Definition

A tract of land that is defined in location and extent according to legally or customarily recognized methods (for example: social tenure).

Description

Improvements (for example: buildings, fences, and wells) to the tract of land are distinct from the land itself and thus may have different associated rights and/or restrictions than those of the underlying tract of land. Social tenure (also called customary tenure) is the allocation and security of rights in land based on customs and social authority, rather than on a formal legal system of land registration. In some areas of the world, social tenure is the basis for informal land administration. Some legal land administration systems recognize and/or incorporate social tenure-based rights. An example of recognition without incorporation is social tenure 'shells', in which areas are set aside where social tenure is the recognized authority for land rights. In other cases, individual social tenure-based rights may be registered within the legal system.
