Land occupation

Land occupation refers to the act of taking physical possession or control of a piece of land, often by people or communities. This can occur through various means, such as settlement, farming, or squatting, and may sometimes lead to legal disputes over ownership or rights. The context of land occupation can vary widely, ranging from efforts by indigenous groups to reclaim ancestral lands to urban movements seeking housing in vacant properties. Understanding land occupation involves recognizing both the socio-political factors at play and the rights of individuals and communities concerning land use and ownership.
