The design and development of those systems find their rationale and justification in the broader framework of land policy and land management. The way governments intend to deal with the land issue in their society, determines the requirements to the institutional and operational set up of land administration systems. This paper aims at identifying how current land policy documents of 9 countries are composed, which issues they address and to which extent they pay attention to the impact of the land policy on land administration systems.

As a result, many land seekers, desirous to construct own homes in cities and towns, have been forced to acquire land through the informal markets that are responsible for the proliferation of informal settlements where security of land tenure is uncertain and the poor are thus marginalized. Worldwide, over one billion people live in slums in urban areas.

Various policies and strategies have been formulated and many are already in the process of implementation in different countries. Among the policies are National Land Policies (NLP).Because of the explosion of human population, land has continued to be scarce. It is as if it were shrinking in size.

Such conceptions have led to the development of National Land Policies. Such policies are intended to enable the present generation to exploit the land without degrading it so that it is also available for the needs of future generations.Those in the land sector professions have been privileged a great deal to be in a position in which, through the formulation and implementation of land policies, may facilitate and influence the way land as a resource can...
