Communal Land Ownership

Communal land ownership refers to a system where land is collectively owned and managed by a community or group rather than individuals. In this arrangement, members have shared rights to use and benefit from the land, often for agriculture, grazing, or settlement purposes. Decisions about land use are typically made collectively, and the land is not divided into private properties. This system emphasizes community welfare and sustainable use, common in many traditional societies, and can help ensure equitable access and resource management for all members.
