communal land use

Communal land use refers to land managed collectively by a community or group, rather than owned privately by individuals. In this system, resources such as grazing areas, forests, or water sources are accessible to community members for various needs like farming, grazing animals, or gathering resources. Decisions about how the land is used and maintained are usually made collectively, emphasizing shared responsibility and cooperation. This approach helps sustain resources, promotes social cohesion, and supports livelihoods, especially in rural or traditional societies where communal ownership reflects cultural practices and ensures equitable resource distribution.
