Land Tenure Promotion for Achieving Local Sustainability

Assuring the sustainability of our human society is currently representing a pretty discussed topic on technical, economic as well as on social and political level. In this context inter- and transdisciplinary approaches are required in order to succeed developing and applying proper sustainable development strategies on different levels, i. e. on national, regional as well as on local level. In the last time it came out that achieving local sustainability is among the most critically issues of the 21st century, independent if people are living in urban or rural areas. In this regard it is self- evident the importance of a proper land use planning and administration, as being the general term used for rural and urban planning including various disciplines. Land Use is one of the most visible targets of the sustainability topics and connected with it the issue of land tenure. Sustainable land use implies land tenure promotion, which supports sustainable development and creates an obvious balance of environmental preservation, commerce and liability. A comprehensive assessment regarding an efficient land use plan provides a vision for the future development possibilities for achieving sustainable regions. Gaining strategies on local level means actually developing strategies for sustainable urbanism. The vision of future sustainable cities, by taking into account regional differences, is worldwide a pretty discussed topic, also in some Eastern European countries and implies first of all the clarification of land tenure critical aspects. In this paper some concrete strategies for land tenure promotion will be discussed in order to assure an appropriate sustainable land use planning on a local level with the goal of shaping sustainable urban and rural planning.
