However The Land Use Act, 1978 came up with different rules vesting the ownership of land in the urban areas to the Governor and the non-urban areas to the chairman of the local government council.

This study examines the land tenure system in Imilike, Udenu Local Government, South East Nigeria, with a focus on the customary land tenure system and its implications for land use, economic development, and social stability. The research reveals that the land tenure system in Imilike has undergone significant changes, including the sale of land, changes in inheritance patterns, and modifications to land pledging practices. The study also highlights the differences and similarities between the Land Use Act of 1978 and the land tenure system in Imilike, including government control, land alloc

Corruption is a phenomenon which has spread into all sectors of Nigerian public life. Many research efforts on corruption focused on financial and political issues, while less attention has been paid to corruption in land in Nigeria. This study gives an overview of corruption in Nigeria. It examined corruption in land administration under Nigeria’s Land Use Act 1978 and how this stultifies sustainable development in land use and planning. Efforts of Nigeria’s Federal Government in combating this trend were discussed, while issues and challenges militating against the efforts were interrogated.

AbstractNigeria's Land Use Act, promulgated in 1978, is perhaps the most controversial legislation in the country. The Act, originally promulgated as a decree and annexed to the country's constitution, was ostensibly made to nationalize landholding in the country. However, the peculiar impact of the Act on the inhabitants of the Niger Delta region that hosts upstream activities of the oil industry has led to assertions that the Act was made specifically to deprive those inhabitants of the right to participate actively in the oil industry.

This study explored the differences between the customary landholding system in Uga, Anambra State, and the Land Use Act of 1978, which highlights the intricacies of land ownership and use in Nigeria. The customary system is marked by communal ownership under customary law, which prioritizes lineage, inheritance, and group decision, processes that have been honed over centuries. On the other hand, nationalization of land ownership according to the Land Use Act gives power to the state and imposes formalized processes that often conflict with local culture.

Abstract:
The Land Use Act, 1978, is a product of the inherent contradictions of the colonial and neo-colonial dependent, pseudo-capitalist economic structures established in Nigeria since colonial times. By the 1970s these contradictions became so seŕious that they threatened to become a clog on the growth of the capitalist economy. If such contradictions were allowed to reach a nodal point, conditions for the self-negation of the existing socio-economic and legal order would have ensued.

Purpose: Before the advent of the Land Use Act in 1978, individuals, families and communities owned land absolutely according to customary law. Thus, the family or community was free to give out their land to deserving members of the family or community or even to outsiders as the case may be. Where an individual was the absolute owner of the land, he was free to deal with it in any manner he liked. Therefore, the individual, family or community exercised all incidents of ownership without restrictions. All these were altered when the Land Use Act was promulgated. The extent to which this Act

Hence there was no incentive on the part of gas turbine manufacturers to invest in the development of gas turbine technology. There were many regulatory developments in the 1980s and 1990s, which led to the rapid growth in power generation from gas turbines.

Metropolitan Water District (Metropolitan) is a public agency charged with providing its service area with adequate and sufficient supplies of high quality water. Metropolitan was incorporated in 1928 by an Act of the California Legislature to serve its 13 original founding Member Agencies. Today, Metropolitan provides water to 26 cities and water agencies serving more than 19 million people in six counties in Southern California. On average Metropolitan delivers 1.7 billion gallons of water per day. California, the third-largest state in the U.S. by land area, has a diverse geography includin

Abstract:
The meaningful United States regulation of onshore oil and gas field waste/soil commenced in the mid 1980’s in response to a series of state, federal, industry and international initiatives. Most initiatives centered on the design, construction and operation of earthen pits used in the exploration and production of oil and gas (E&amp;P). Prior to this time, earthen pits were constructed as needed by the operator and used in all phases of E&amp;P activity. Chief concerns of the regulators were focused on what had gone into pits historically, what was going into them currently and was the E&amp;

Sustainable land use plays a crucial role in influencing economic, social, and environmental dynamics and aligns with the European Union's goal of achieving no net land take by 2050. In Hungary, this objective is also part of the national development strategy. Recent legislative changes, including the Architecture Act XXIII of 2023 and impending regula

Abstract:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for waste management from nuclear weapons production and operates the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) for permanent disposal of defense-generated transuranic waste (TRU), as authorized by Congress in 1979. Radioactive waste in the U.S. has historically been managed in one of two ways depending on its penetrating radiation dose rate. Waste with surface dose rates above 200 millirem/hour (0.002 sievert/hour) and waste that has been managed remotely (remote-handled). In 1992, Congress passed the WIPP Land Withdrawal Act, which created the regu

There are over 590,000 bridges dispersed across the roadway network that stretches across the United States alone. Each bridge with a length of 20 feet or greater must be inspected at least once every 24 months, according to the Federal Highway Act (FHWA) of 1968. This research developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based framework for bridge and road inspection using drones with multiple sensors collecting capabilities. It is not sufficient to conduct inspections of bridges and roads using cameras alone, so the research team utilized an infrared (IR) camera along with a high-resolution opt

Abstract:
Land reforms sacrifice property rights in the name of a fairer distribution. The trade-off they imply makes their study of interest to Economic Historians: do the benefits of reduced land inequality justify the violation of property rights? The discussion about land reforms factors in both the social and efficiency consequences of land inequality. The debate preceding the Portuguese Agrarian Reform echoes these concerns and culminated in an anti-latifundia sentiment crystallized in the legislation used to justify the land occupations of 1974 to 1976.

Abstract:
Land use misgovernance in the Philippines arises due to the non-institutionalization of a national-level framework for land use and the lack of harmonization of sector-specific laws on land resources. But the effort to push for a National Land Use Act (NaLUA) is almost three decades old, and advocates are finding it hard to hurdle the legislative mill. This study establishes that to strengthen the push to enact a NaLUA, advocates need to employ a transdisciplinary approach and deepen, through updated data and evidence, the appreciation by policymakers and stakeholders of the arguments for havi

Abstract:
Governance is a difficult task in the context of achieving landscape multifunctionality owing to the multiplicity of stakeholders, institutions, scale and ecosystem services: the ‘many-multiple’ (Cockburn et al 2018). Governing and managing the physical landscape and the actors in the landscape requires intensive knowledge and good planning systems. Land-use planning is a powerful instrument in landscape governance because it directly guides how actors will intervene in the physical landscape (land use) to gain commonly desired value. It is essential for sustaining rural landscapes and improvi

Information from the ground studies will also be used for calibration of subsequent marine geophysical data and used in stability analysis studies.
