Publications from GLTN
03 September 2021
GLTN International Professional Bodies cluster which FIG is
currently co-leading, has published two new publications on
Urban-Rural Land Linkages and Valuation of Unregistered Lands.
UN-Habitat/Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) has structured its 80
partners in four different clusters. FIG, together with Arab Union of
Surveyors (AUS), are
currently co-lead of the International Professional Bodies Cluster,
represented by Rafic Khouri and Diane Dumashie.
The two new publications were launched at FIG
e-Working Week 2021 during the
technical programme. Two joint FIG/GLTN sessions were organised to
introduce the publications and to encourage a discussion on the next
steps.

URBAN-RURAL LAND LINKAGES: A CONCEPT AND FRAMEWORK FOR
ACTION
The URLL project is led by FIG Commission 7, with the support
of commissions 8 & 9. The URLL project has just published the
report ‘Urban-Rural Land Linkages: A concept and framework for
action’, this publication presents a framework for tackling
urban-rural land challenges. It is designed to help a range of
stakeholders in developing countries understand how to adopt an
inclusive approach to land management and administration
initiatives to produce a balance in urban and rural development.
It provides structured guidance for addressing land-specific
problems within the intersection of urban and rural development.
The publication presents action-oriented steps and
recommendations that should be pursued in urban-rural
interdependent development. It also expands current knowledge
about urban-rural linkages in the context of land tenure
challenges. It is hoped that the publication will inspire
additional policy debate on securing land tenure on an
urban-rural continuum rather than viewing these areas in
isolation.

VALUATION OF UNREGISTERED LAND - A PRACTICE MANUAL
The Valuation project is led by FIG commission 9 and has just
published a practical manual to give a practical aid to the
implementation of ‘Valuation of Unregistered Lands: A Policy
Guide’ prepared by the Global Land Tool Network for the United
Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), in combination
with the international valuation standards of the International
Valuation Standards Council. The manual ‘Valuation of
Unregistrered Land – A Practice Manual’ presents a practical
approach for the valuation of unregistered land.
The manual comprises two parts. The first gives an overview
of recommendations related to the valuation of unregistered land
rights, and the second provides more detail about what to
consider when working in this complex environment. The manual is
designed to be applicable globally, particularly in developing
nations. It is based on agreed standards of best practice, due
diligence protocols and expert collaboration. It explains the
key concepts of valuation, land tenure, bases of value,
professional capacity-building and valuation frameworks and
provides an example template/aide-memoire for unregistered land
valuation that can be used by valuers.
Governments, policymakers, land professionals, valuation
practitioners, capacity development institutions and other
interested parties should use this manual to help achieve the
Sustainable Development Goals related to conflict prevention,
food security, gender equity, justice, and sustainable urban and
rural development.
