communal land

Communal land refers to land that is owned and managed collectively by a community or group, rather than by individuals or the government. Members typically have rights to use and benefit from the land, such as for farming, grazing, or settlement. The community sets rules on how the land is used, shared, and maintained, ensuring that resources are available for current and future generations. This system fosters cooperation and social cohesion, often found in indigenous or traditional societies, balancing individual needs with the community’s overall well-being.
