Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references. The origins of the Torrens System of land registration are not clear. Examines the claim of Dr. Ulrich Hübbe who asserted that he collaborated with Torrens to bring about the adoption of the land law of his hometown Hamburg in the form of the Real Property Act 1858 (SA). An historical examination (collecting and analysing all relevant historical sources), shows that it is likely that Hübbe was the actual draftsman, while a comparative legal analysis (contrasting Hamburg's land law at the beginning of the 19th century with the first bill of the Act) demonstrates that there is a strong similarity between Hamburg's land registration system and the original Torrens System; and, that the outstanding differences between the systems can be explained by the natural adaptation processes which are implied by the adoption of laws.

Liu, Yi. "Land use, job accessibility and commuting efficiency under the hukou system in urban China: a case study in Guangzhou." HKBU Institutional Repository, 2017. https://repository.hkbu.edu.hk/etd_oa/405.
Full textAbstract:
Job-housing relations, job accessibility and commuting efficiency have been the concerns of academics and policy makers alike, and a large body of literature has been published on relevant topics. Although various hypotheses from the West have been tested in research on some Chinese major cities, most neglects the role of the hukou system, the most essential and unique institution influencing every aspect of people's daily life in China. This thesis responds to this deficiency by placing hukou at the forefront in the analysis of job-housing relations and commute. The data used in this thesis is from a household survey in Guangzhou as well as the population and economic census. Firstly, it analyses the job-housing relationship and commuting patterns in Guangzhou as well as the influence of hukou system. Secondly, it examines the spatial pattern of job accessibility in Guangzhou and accessibility inequality between local and non-local hukou holders. Also, the differential influences of land use and mobility on different hukou holders' job accessibility are evaluated. Thirdly, it estimates and compares the commuting efficiency of Guangzhou with other cities, and evaluates the roles of hukou system and other socio-economic factors in the commuting efficiency of Guangzhou. Meanwhile, the present research highlights the mechanism underlying the interactions between hukou system, job-housing relations and commute, and discusses the influences of hukou system on job/housing market and public services/welfare provisions. Taking hukou into consideration, this thesis contributes to the fields of jobs-housing relationship and commute in urban China by addressing the complex influences of local context on job-housing relations and commute as well as providing a mapping of inequalities between different hukou holders.

Full textAbstract:
Improvements in technology and the Internet have seen a rapid rise in the use of technology in various sectors such as medicine, the courts and banking. The conveyancing sector is also experiencing a similar revolution, with technology touted as able to improve the effectiveness of the land registration process. In some jurisdictions, such as New Zealand and Canada, the paper-based land registration system has been replaced with one in which creation, preparation, and lodgement of land title instruments are managed in a wholly electronic environment. In Australia, proposals for an electronic registration system are under way. The research question addressed by this thesis is what would be the impact on fraud of automating the registration process. This is pertinent because of the adverse impact of fraud on the underlying principles of the Torrens system, particularly security of title. This thesis first charts the importance of security of title, examining how security of title is achieved within the Torrens system and the effects that fraud has on this. Case examples are used to analyse perpetration of fraud under the paper registration system. Analysis of functional electronic registration systems in comparison with the paper-based registration system is then undertaken to reveal what changes might be made to conveyancing practices were an electronic registration system implemented. Whether, and if so, how, these changes might impact upon paper based frauds and whether they might open up new opportunities for fraud in an electronic registration system forms the next step in the analysis. The final step is to use these findings to propose measures that might be used to minimise fraud opportunities in an electronic registration system, so that as far as possible the Torrens system might be kept free from fraud, and the philosophical objectives of the system, as initially envisaged by Sir Robert Torrens, might be met.

Full textAbstract:
Using Sri Lanka as a case study, this thesis proposes hybridisation of land registration systems comprising features that address the unique local needs and challenges as an alternative to full transplantation of Torrens title registration system to other jurisdictions. The central premise of the thesis is that a hybrid system is uniquely tailored and equipped to address local conditions. The findings of this analysis is utilised to articulate recommendations for Sri Lanka to be used as a set of practical guidelines. These recommendations can also be used as a guide by other countries and aid organisations when modernising land registration systems.

Cook, John Stanley. "A cybernetic approach to land management issues." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 1994. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/36222/2/John_Cook_Thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This work is a digital version of a dissertation that was first submitted in partial fulfillment of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in March 1994. The work was concerned with problems of self-organisation and organisation ranging from local to global levels of hierarchy. It considers organisations as living entities from local to global things that a living entity – more particularly, an individual, a body corporate or a body politic - must know and do to maintain an existence – that is to remain viable – or to be sustainable. The term ‘land management’ as used in 1994 was later subsumed into a more general concept of ‘natural resource management’ and then merged with ideas about sustainable socioeconomic and sustainable ecological development.
The cybernetic approach contains many cognitive elements of human observation, language and learning that combine into production processes. The approach tends to highlight instances where systems (or organisations) can fail because they have very little chance of succeeding. Thus there are logical necessities as well as technical possibilities in designing, constructing, operating and maintaining production systems that function reliably over extended periods.
Chapter numbers and titles to the original thesis are as follows:
1. Land management as a problem of coping with complexity
2. Background theory in systems theory and cybernetic principles
3. Operationalisation of cybernetic principles in Beer’s Viable System Model
4. Issues in the design of viable cadastral surveying and mapping organisation
5. An analysis of the tendency for fragmentation in surveying and mapping organisation
6. Perambulating the boundaries of Sydney – a problem of social control under poor standards of literacy
7. Cybernetic principles in the process of legislation
8. Closer settlement policy and viability in agricultural production
9. Rate of return in leasing Crown lands

Hayes, John Francis. "A prototype system for the digital lodgement of spatial data." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 1997. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/36083/6/John%20Hayes_Digitised_Thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation develops the model of a prototype system for the digital lodgement of spatial data sets with statutory bodies responsible for the registration and approval of land related actions under the Torrens Title system. Spatial data pertain to the location of geographical entities together with their spatial dimensions and are classified as point, line, area or surface. This dissertation deals with a sub-set of spatial data, land boundary data that result from the activities performed by surveying and mapping organisations for the development of land parcels.
The prototype system has been developed, utilising an event-driven paradigm for the user-interface, to exploit the potential of digital spatial data being generated from the utilisation of electronic techniques. The system provides for the creation of a digital model of the cadastral network and dependent data sets for an area of interest from hard copy records. This initial model is calibrated on registered control and updated by field survey to produce an amended model. The field-calibrated model then is electronically validated to ensure it complies with standards of format and content.
The prototype system was designed specifically to create a database of land boundary data for subsequent retrieval by land professionals for surveying, mapping and related activities. Data extracted from this database are utilised for subsequent field survey operations without the need to create an initial digital model of an area of interest.
Statistical reporting of differences resulting when subsequent initial and calibrated models are compared, replaces the traditional checking operations of spatial data performed by a land registry office.
Digital lodgement of survey data is fundamental to the creation of the database of accurate land boundary data. This creation of the database is fundamental also to the efficient integration of accurate spatial data about land being generated by modem technology such as global positioning systems, and remote sensing and imaging, with land boundary information and other information held in Government databases.
The prototype system developed provides for the delivery of accurate, digital land boundary data for the land registration process to ensure the continued maintenance of the integrity of the cadastre. Such data should meet also the more general and encompassing requirements of, and prove to be of tangible, longer term benefit to the developing, electronic land information industry.

This article, based on three typical registration theories of deed registration system、Torrence registration system and right registration system, explores the different registration systems between Taiwan and Mainland China. Taiwan land regitration belongs to the system of pulic and private owned, but Mainland China belongs to the public-owned system. There are many different land registration systems such as administration, scope and processure across strait. This article in accordience with the system of land right, investigation form and registration error to disscuss.On the orther hand, the article shows the shortcoming existing in each system and provides the way to improve the existing policy.

Most of the research about how to improve the competence of land registration industry probe mainly on act reform and quality of service, but few in differentiation competitive advantage. The main thesis of this article is the competitive advantage of differentiated strategies in land registration industry studying related to the customize operating procedure, tools about professional examination, professional internal integration and external different industries division of labor to realize differentiated strategies, arrange the trend in the future, and seek differentiated marketing to create new value curve to find a model of earning profits for land registration industry. The object of this study is the process of a land registration office using lands for public construction to acquire differentiated business strategies from 2011 to 2015. The research takes the approach of interpretive qualitative research method, collecting data from in-depth interviews and field observations and propose viewpoints from literatures and theories to do mutual evidence. Also, the study itemized probe the key factors about how public construction smoothly gain the land, thus the public construction can be carried out smoothly. Except avoiding discontent from the public, it also can refrain the increase of engineering project cost resulted from construction delays and addition of the financial burden of the government. Under the depression of land registration industry, by using differentiated marketing, land administration agents can smoothly assist the government to gain lands for public construction, build up public praise, improve the service satisfaction and look after social contribution.

Since the Civil Law announcement, it followed by the international pulsation level and the development of society and economy to make amendment; the content was detailed and complete, possessing the cautious and compendious characteristic of Civil Law System. In the Civil Law system, “Numerus Clausus der Sachenrechte” played a very impartment role in the relation of contract and property. However, it was very difficult to find the equation of elasticity of the use and uniquely resistance potency, and the impact of transaction safe. Therefore, the land registration with conclusive validity absorbs most letter cost. This article focused on the ‘Creditors' Rights in Real Right’, used the theory of “Economic Analysis of Law” to analyze the transaction costs of registration system. Then this article gave a description of the current land administrative system and land registration procedure, and observed the Civil Law, land registration system, and the relation between contract and property. Since the characters of registration of ‘Creditors' Rights in Real Right ’are different with other types of registration, it is obviously necessary for central government to design a complete registration process of ‘Creditors' Rights in Real Right ’, so as to assist local land office in implementation and improve the development of ‘Creditors' Rights in Real Right ’ system as well. To sum up, this study explored the evolution process of the ‘Creditors' Rights in Real Right’ in Taiwan and made some suggestions for its improvement. Then, tried to propose new articles or directions of modification for existent regulations. This article wanted to shorten the distant between the practical and theoretic of registration work of ‘Creditors' Rights in Real Right’.

Full textAbstract:
This study analyses the impact of land registration and certification scheme on sustainable
use of farmlands in Debre Mawi and Densa Bahta rural kebeles of Amhara region in
northwestern Ethiopia, with a view to contributing to the theoretical debate on tenure security
and more realistic policy advocacy on the sustainable use of farmlands. Within the
framework of qualitative research methodology, the case study approach helps to observe and
understand the relationship between land titling and sustainable use of farmlands in Densa
Bahta and Debre Mawi kebeles of the Amhara region in Ethiopia. Specific methods employed
were focus group discussions, in-depth interviews and observation, complemented by context
analyses of relevant documents. It was found that land titling has contributed to a high
perception of security of land tenure among study respondents. However, results show that
land titling has both positive and negative impacts on sustainable use of farmlands. The
positive impact of land titling is ascribed to its assurance effect and legal obligation imposed
on farmers to adopt proper land management practices. The negative impact of land titling
arises from its failure to address the existing inequality in possession of farmlands among the
village communities. Failure of farmers’ high perceptions of their security of land tenure to
translate into sustainable land use practices has implications for the relative importance of
productive asset endowments, self-efficacy and risk perception on the sustainable use of
farmlands in the Amhara region. Interviewees that follow unsustainable farming practices
were endowed with relatively lower pieces of farmland and disadvantaged in possession of
other productive assets. They also demonstrated a low level of self-efficacy and a risk-averse
attitude to adopting conservation technologies, as they possessed smaller sizes of farmland compared with the village and regional average. The study urges a holistic approach and
comprehensive analytical framework to understand the synergy of several factors that affect the sustainable use of farmlands.Environmental Sciences

Full textAbstract:
The above topic deals with the land use planning, the land-tenure and the deeds registration systems, applicable in former black urban and rural areas of KwaZulu Natal.
These areas are divided into three categories, namely:
1. black townships on former black land (former KwaZulu townships);
2. rural or tribal land; and
3. black townships on former white land (Development Aid (DDA) townships).
The writer firstly explains how the above categories of land were created in terms of the 1913 and 1936 land laws and how the administration and control of the first two categories was
taken over by the former KwaZulu Legislative Assembly in 1986 whilst administration and control of the last category remained with the South African Development Trust.
The writer critically analyses different pieces of legislation relating to the land system in the abovementioned categories of land. The writer further critically analyses the new land laws and their effect on the said land system.Law

At present, Taiwan real estate agency industry applies Designated Land Administration Agents during the process of real estate transaction, as we know, they offered lots of convenience for consumers. However, the role of dual agency between Designated Land Administration Agents and agency industry simultaneously may cause the conflict of interest in the consumers’ contracts, which derive information asymmetry problem. In this paper, we have four questions as follows: first, if the real estate agencies apply Designated Land Administration Agent result in the information asymmetry; second, if the interest conflicts of Designated Land Administration Agent affect transaction costs; third, whether existing policies can solve information asymmetry problem; four, the feasibility and transaction costs of Dual Land Administration Agent System. We apply qualitative research methods in this study: first, to proof the research based on agency theory and transaction cost theory; second, to offer legal discussions which derive proxy issues from Civil Law, Real Estate Agency Industry Regulations, Land Administration Agent Law; third, to employ semi-structured interviews and literature cross-reference on Land Administration Agents, the agency industry, consumers; four, as Dual proxy mechanism for the Land Administration Agent, to improve the transaction of real estate and the feasibility analysis under information asymmetry. Comprehensively, the studies have shown that: (1) Designated Land Administration Agent implies conflicts of interest and information asymmetry issues; (2) the standard contracts and the performance bonds can’t be sure that consumers without transaction experiences or lacking knowledge of the legal integrity of the property; (3) since the specific characteristics of real estate, some additional conditions should be attached in the standard contract according to individual cases. Thus, Dual Land Administration Agent proxy system with more equitable point of view can keep the contractual fairness; (4) the higher transaction price of real estate, the higher acceptance of consumers with Dual Land Administration Agent. We offer " Proxy Mechanism of Dual Land Administration Agent "in the study and attempt to promote the rights of buyers and sellers as follows: (1) to push real estate transactions mutual supervision under Proxy Mechanism of Dual Land Administration Agent; (2) to propose the new system for Dual Land Administration Agent transaction costs arising; (3) to make legislations of Dual Land Administration Agent in order to ensure the transaction integrity and security of consumers’ property.

Full textAbstract:
While decision-making under uncertainty is a major universal problem, its implications in the field of transportation systems are especially enormous; where the benefits of right decisions are tremendous, the consequences of wrong ones are potentially disastrous.
In the realm of highway systems, decisions related to the highway configuration (number of lanes, right of way, etc.) need to incorporate both the traffic demand and land price uncertainties. In the literature, these uncertainties have generally been modeled using the Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) process, which has been used extensively in modeling many other real life phenomena. But few scholars, including those who used the GBM in highway configuration decisions, have offered any rigorous justification for the use of this model.
This thesis attempts to offer a detailed analysis of various aspects of transportation systems in relation to decision-making. It reveals some general insights as well as a new concept that extends the notion of opportunity cost to situations where wrong decisions could be made. Claiming deficiency of the GBM model, it also introduces a new formulation that utilizes a large and flexible parametric family of jump models (i.e., Lévy processes). To validate this claim, data related to traffic demand and land prices were collected and analyzed to reveal that their distributions, heavy-tailed and asymmetric, do not match well with the GBM model. As a remedy, this research used the Merton, Kou, and negative inverse Gaussian Lévy processes as possible alternatives.
Though the results show indifference in relation to final decisions among the models, mathematically, they improve the precision of uncertainty models and the decision-making process. This furthers the quest for optimality in highway projects and beyond.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the conveyancing process in South Africa with a view to identify how the process might be improved in terms of its efficiency and effectiveness. Land is an asset and still remains a valuable factor in production, even in the modern knowledge economy. In many parts of the world, land is a limited resource, therefore, in most countries, custodianship and ownership of land and landed properties generally tend to be guarded through the meticulous capturing, recording and storage of appropriate data and information. Legislative provisions for the transfer of custodianship and/or ownership require the involvement of a variety of role players in the conveyancing processes that culminate in the registration of land and associated immovable property. In some countries, the conveyancing processes tend to be complex and cumbersome. The study provides a conceptual framework for conveyancing processes based on a content-based review of land and immovable property registration systems in five countries, namely, Barbados, the Netherlands, Australia, Taiwan and South Africa. The study further investigates the South African conveyancing processes. Quantitative questionnaires were completed by six respondent groups from the conveyancing service chain, and qualitative interviews were conducted with two of the four major banks in South Africa. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the quantitative data, and content analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. The findings were used to develop a de-bottlenecking framework for South African conveyancing.Business Management
