Problems of land ownership in relation to land development in Sri Lanka
Berugoda, S
The government of Sri Lanka has been directing its efforts
for several decades, at increasing the development of the country#
The achievement of this goal depends on the efficacy/ of
mobilising the factors of production of land, labour and capital.
It is found that there are constraints in getting the maximum
out of the land. As a result of these constraints, sufficient labour
is not being engaged on or sufficient Capital is not being invested in
the land.
The land ownership pattern moulded by the intricate laws of
succession, which in turn is a result of the historical and cultural
background of the people, has been a major constraint in obtaining the
maximum from the land. This situation has been aggravated by the lack of
proper land records.
The undesirable effects of this system have been the inability
of getting capital for investment on the land or the prevalance of
disputes resulting in the neglect of such lands.
This study is directed at the identification of such problems
and finding solutions for them.
After a critical study of the land ownership system leading to
the identification of problems, in Chapter 2, two cose studies are
directed at making an assessment of the effect of these problems on
development. A comparative study of the situation in a representative
selection of countries have been done in Chapter 4. Ths study carried
on those linos is directed at the formulation of proposals and a plan
of aotion for salving these problems.
(iii)
The proposals are aimed at s
(a) Simplifying the land law and land tenure,
(b) Simplifying the procedure in land transactions, and
(c) Maintaining a systematic record of rights in land, to be
used as an aid in development administration©
The #lan of action covers a 25 year period and is aimed
at the implementation of the proposals taking into account the
development projects already initiated by the Government©

Impact of the restriction on succession under the land development ordinance on land use and development - need for a planned approach
Balachandran, C
Land Use Planning is a multi disciplinary activity essential
for a country like Sri Lanka, for its sustainable development.
Many attempts have been made by the Governments in this
direction by introducing several laws and Ordinances which
have the impact .
Land is a basic resource and the arrangements for its uses
determine the development of a country . Hence Land Tenure is
important in developing the land uses and development. In
1935, the Land Development Ordinance was introduced to
develop, manage and alienate State lands in a planned manner.
The concept of Unitary Succession , which was not applicable
at that stage was introduced by this Ordinance to put the
lands into better use. But this Ordinance did not have a
multi disciplinary approach. This study is intended to analyse
the impact on succession under this Ordinance on land use and
development .
The study revealed that even after 60 years of operation the
unitary succession as laid down in the L D O
acceptable to the allottee . This combined with the failure of
the authorities to review the operation of the system at
is not fully
IV
regular intervals has contributed to the present
unsatisfactory situation of low production and low quality of
life of those living on lands alienated under the L D 0 .
The study shows the need for an integrated approach in
planning for the alienation of lands under the L D O .
