Occupation of Land

Occupation of land refers to the act of physically taking possession or control of a piece of land, whether through living there, building structures, farming, or other activities. It involves the exercise of rights over the land, establishing a presence or use, and may be legal or illegal depending on whether proper ownership or permissions are involved. Occupying land can also mean temporarily or permanently settling on it, often signifying a claim or utilization. This concept is important in property law, land rights, and in understanding how land is used and controlled within a community or legal framework.
