International experience of a community, communal and municipal ownership of land: Community, communal and municipal ownership of land

Commissioned by the Scottish Land Commission, SRUC in cooperation with the James Hutton Institute, the University of the Highlands and Islands and the University of Aberdeen and Ting Xu, is conducting a review of international experience of community, communal and municipal land ownership.

The project will explore relevant forms of community, communal and municipal land ownership outside Scotland, particularly focusing on the interaction between governance structures, management objectives, the distribution of land rights and cultural perceptions. Lessons for Scotland will be provided from this international experience.
