A Review of the Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM)
Phase II Summary Report
JOINT FIG / UN-Habitat/GLTN
Preamble
Many land rights and land claims are based on social tenures and cannot be
described in terms of conventional, parcel-based concepts. New forms of spatial
units have therefore been needed for some time, and the Global Land Tools
Network (GLTN) developed a model to accommodate these social tenures. It is
called the Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM). Since its inception, the STDM has
been developed and piloted, and it is now being implemented to cater for the
range of land rights that exist, including rights that are documented or
undocumented, rights for individuals and groups, for pastoralists and slums
dwellers; rights that are formal and informal, and those that are legal as well
as
extra-legal. Within the International Federation of Surveyors (FIG), the STDM is
seen, and is thus reviewed as, a pro-poor, participatory and affordable land
tool. It is an alternative and/or another option
to “doing business” in the land sector and has the potential to provide security
of tenure at scale due to its innovative approach, which is embodied in:
- Its affordability (it uses free and open software packages);
- Its flexibility in its use and application (can be applied in various
contexts and complements other tools);
- Its simplicity (so that non-technical people can use it);
- Its inclusivity, having a pro-poor focus (targets the poorest of
the poor, such as slum dwellers, small landholders, etc.); and
- Its good governance principles (participation, responsiveness
and transparency).
