LAND SETTLEMENT SCHEMES AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT: A REVIEW ARTICLE
Sociologia Ruralis - SOCIOL RURALIS, 1988
Land settlement schemes have provided a major research focus for social anthropologists and rural sociologists in the post-war years. Social scientists from a range of other disciplines have also taken a keen interest in these projects and in consequence a vast and dispersed literature has developed. The preoccupation of this literature is the evaluation and analysis of settlement initiatives allied to recommendations about the ways in which individual schemes or entire settlement policies might be modified so as to enhance their contribution to the attainment of developmental goals. Further writings are constantly added to the existing corpus as newly initiated projects' are studied and existing schemes are re-evaluated.
innovative approaches to land and housing provision
Rapid growth of illegal settlements in and around cities can be viewed not as the growth of slums but, in a very real sense, as the development of cities which are more appropriate to the local culture, climate and conditions than the plans produced by the governments of these same cities.

Managed Land Settlement: An Incremental Approach to Human Settlements
South Africa faces twin housing and settlement challenges. The first is that the supply of housing is not keeping pace with the demand. The second is that the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) approach, promoted by the new government in 1994, resulted in mono-functional residential neighbourhoods. This paper proposes that the Managed Land Settlement (MLS) approach to housing and settlement development provides a mechanism for addressing the housing backlog and the shift from housing to human settlements.

The Role of Land Management in Shaping (or Preventing) the Creation of Sustainable Human Settlements
Given the imminent implementation of SPLUMA , the chapter by Denoon-Stevens attempts to understand how the BNG concepts can be incorporated into existing land management tools such as spatial development frameworks (SDFs) and zoning schemes. It further takes a conservative look at how incentives and the purchase of private land for housing purposes can be used, in light of the severe strain that state financial resources are already under.
Land for Development and Homes

The Task Force on Land Supply published its much-awaited report in April, and is now gathering public views on a menu list of land supply options. The report was disappointing on three counts.
Town and Regional Planning
Land reform in South Africa has paid less attention to the creation of fair and viable postapartheid urban human settlements than it has to rural land reform. While expropriation of land with or without compensation will deliver land, the question as to what happens post-expropriation has not been addressed. A reconsideration and redesign of the South African legal, policy and institutional frameworks, and spatial planning instruments are required, in order to enable the process of urban land reform to deliver on the development of sustainable human settlements. Since a number of countries have successfully dealt with large-scale restructuring and redevelopment, an examination of the methods employed in two countries, namely Rwanda, post-the genocide in 1994, and The Netherlands, post-World War II, is undertaken to facilitate that process.
