| Green Grabbing in the Global South: Analyzing the Impacts on Indigenous Communities and Biodiversity Conservation | The aim of the study is to assess the scale and mechanisms of green-grabbing in selected countries and evaluate the environmental outcomes of green-grabbing projects in terms of biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration. It involves the use of satellite imagery and GIS tools to assess changes in land use, forest cover, and biodiversity over time in areas affected by green grabbing, and develop policy recommendations for balancing environmental conservation goals with land rights of indigenous communities. | Walter Dachaga | Master |
| Navigating Contested Land Ownership: An Examination of Conflict Resolution Practices and Outcomes Among Victims and Beneficiaries of Land Contestations | Land ownership disputes often arise when a party's legal claim to a piece of land is contested. Consequently, individuals and communities facing contested titles may resort to various legal, informal, and alternative strategies to assert or defend their claims. This study seeks to understand these strategies and their effectiveness in improving land governance and conflict resolution mechanisms. Specifically, the study will address these questions: - What strategies do landowners with legal documents employ when their root of title is contested? - How do individuals choose between formal legal action, customary dispute resolution mechanisms, and informal negotiations? - What role do local customs, social networks, and power dynamics play in resolving contested land titles? - What are the outcomes of different conflict resolution strategies in terms of land ownership, social cohesion, and land development? - How do legal frameworks, state, and customary institutions approach land contestations, and what are the implications for land governance? | Walter Dachaga | Master |
| Gendered Impacts of Cadastral Land Registration Systems: Analyzing Conventions and Everyday Practices Undermining Women’s Land Rights | The study will analyze different cadastral land registration systems and the everyday practices within these systems that implicitly undermine women’s land rights. It focuses on conventions, legal frameworks, and on-the-ground practices in various countries or regions, with the aim to identify how seemingly neutral procedures disproportionately disadvantage women, thereby reinforcing gender inequalities in land ownership and access. | Walter Dachaga | Master |
| Land intelligence dashboards | this research needs to derive prototypes of interactive geospatial dashboards which can show how land interventions change land rights, land regulations, land conflicts, land responsibilities | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Land intelligence – prediction and simulation | this research aims at predicting and visualising emerging conflicts and conflictive land claims; this research uses simulation software such as agent-based modelling using GenAI and Netlogo | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Land intelligence – legal and regulatory tools and instruments | this research needs to derive prototypes of interactive legal solution dashboards and / or databases or graphs linking problems to legal and regulatory tools, procedures and instruments. It should be able to guide users and professionals to opt for the appropriate legal land-related procedure (or combination of procedures) for each type of land-related problem. It should also prove that this increases efficiency in solving land-related problems. | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| How smart are smart cities? | cities are designed with a certain ‘smart’ logic (Spicer et al. 2023) but how much of this logic is also present in the view of city residents? Where do they expect or want ‘smartness’, and where do they experience problems or benefits of such ‘smartness’? | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Consistency and accuracy of CPT and AI platforms on land issues | How consistent and accurate are different AI platforms on addressing land management questions -what explains this difference? - CPT tools are increasingly accurate about multiple facts and insights; how accurate are the different CPT tools however about legal and cadastral cases in land management; can they sufficiently describe, solve, prescribe, resolve, and mediate land management quandaries; this research aims to test real cases against the answers derived from CPT and to design CPT probes to improve the results | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Behavior of land actors in cases of conflicting claims | developers, industries, formal and informal settlers, governments all have a relation to land and have conflicting aims. How do they behave in getting their wishes; which strategies do they use to convince the others; are strategies always assuming a consensus model, or are they more based on power struggles and coercion | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Consistency and accuracy of land statistics | How consistent and accurate are different articles and research outcomes on the amounts/ (national/local) statistics and changes in amounts of forest land, peatland, communal land, build-up land, ownership, land rights – what explains this difference? | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Marketing and selling strategies of land and properties | how do developers and owners of multiple properties or multiple parcels of land market their assets to sell or rent – which strategies do they employ; which geospatial tools do they use | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Connecting biodiversity credits to large scale land acquisition | use the database of the 34 biodiversity initiatives of (Wunder et al. 2024) and trace how they describe and cater for the biodiversity credits/offset in relation to land rights, restrictions and responsibilities; also (Wauchope et al. 2024) uses this. (Dart et al. 2022);(Torabi et al. 2016); biodiversity credits ; google - > biodiversity credits and land rights right "biodiversity credits " ; (Nyanghura et al. 2024); land economics and biodiversity credits | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Umsetzung von Kompensationsmaßnahmen und Aufbau von Ökokonten mithilfe der Flurbereinigung | Die privatnützige Flurbereinigung nach § 1 bzw. § 86 FlurbG zur Verbesserung der Agrarstruk-tur oder zur Auflösung von Landnutzungskonflikten, die – der Fläche nach betrachtet – derzeit rund 80 % der Flurbereinigungstätigkeit in Deutschland ausmacht, wird dagegen für die Um-setzung von projektbezogenen Kompensationsmaßnahmen oder den vorlaufenden Aufbau von Ökokonten bisher nicht genutzt. Ziel des Forschungsvorhaben ist es daher, die derzeit laufenden rd. 2.750 privatnützigen Flurbereinigungsverfahren mit einer Fläche von insg. 1,9 Mio. ha so-wie die jedes Jahr neu angeordneten rd. 150 privatnützigen Flurbereinigungsverfahren mit einer Fläche von insg. über 100.000 ha für eine effiziente Eingriffsbewältigung nutzbar zu machen. Der Flurbereinigung kommt dabei die helfende und unterstützende Rolle des Flächenerwerbs und der Flächenbereitstellung in benötigter Lage zu. Für die Umsetzung, Finanzierung und Un-terhaltung der Kompensationsmaßnahmen bleiben die Maßnahmen- und Poolträger weiterhin zuständig; eine Übernahme der Trägerschaft durch die Flurbereinigung wäre allein schon aus rechtlichen Gründen nicht möglich. Aufgabe der Flurbereinigung ist in diesem Zusammenhang (nur) die Hilfestellung zur Realisierung. | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Ethical concerns in land information systems - case of social profiling | Land information is not neutral. Instead, it comes with potential ethical concerns or when, how and when to use and apply it, such as its ability of social and socio-spatial profiling, unintended mass behavior, privacy concerns and unvoluntary surveillance possibilities. This research aims at generating a theoretical and practical comparative and interpretative assessment and comparison of cases, studies, jurisdiction of ethical issues in land management and land information systems in different institutional and societal contexts. This should result in a (better) assessment of how, when and where potential ethical concerns have arisen and are arising, and which tools, mechanisms and instruments can be used to deal with these. | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Digitalisation and integration of land administration and land use planning | This study aims at determining where and how land administration and land management practices can be better integrated using digital technologies. The study will have to rely on interpreting the results of preliminary surveys and the existing FIG publication no. 80 on digitalisation - www.fig.net/resources/publications/figpub/pub80/figpub80.asp - in order to classify problems, and possible pathways for improvement. | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| The social obligation of ownership - effects on formal and informal tenure | Article 14(2) of the German consitution states that Property obliges. Its use should at the same time serve the common good. This so-called social (or relational) obligation of ownership (also social commitment of property) in Germany is a legal and social philosophical principle. What does this principle actually mean, and how and where is it used? what are the legal implications and limitations of this principle? And, how universal is it? Can one be punished if one does not meet this requirement, and what sort of punishments exist. This research aims at evaluating the use, scope, implications of this principle in the Germany or any other country's context. What sort of cases and jurisprudence exist which refer to or rely on this article? How relevant and adequate is it? This research aims at making a thorough overview, analysis and interpretation of the principle, both in Germany and comparatively in other countries - where either similar principles exist, or where the principle is fundamentally different. | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| The social obligation of ownership - responsibilities, sanctions and coercion mechanisms | Article 14(2) of the German consitution states that Property obliges. This so-called social (or relational) obligation of ownership (also social commitment of property) in Germany is a legal and social philosophical principle. What does this principle actually mean in terms of sanctions, penalties,coercion mechanisms? How can one enforce people to adhere to this, and what happens if one doesn't? How often do penalties or sancitons occur, and what do these consist of? This research aims at making a thorough overview, analysis and interpretation of the consequetial principles, both in Germany and comparatively in other countries - where either similar principles exist, or where the principle is fundamentally different. | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Who owns the earth (i.e. the land, the forest and the water) | There are several organisations, tools and mechanisms worldwide who aim to make a global inventory of various types of land rights and transactions in land rights. Among these are the RRO global state of indigenous, afro-descendant, and local community land rights (Rights and Resources Initiative 2023) and Land Matrix. This study aims at making an analysis of the global repositories by classifying their goals, aims, completeness, quality and actuality of data, and ways of operation. Also, who are their users, and what kind of use / purpose do they serve. How do these compare to each other and to conventional cadastres and land registries? | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Who owns resources in outer space? Evaluation and interpretation of legal agreements from a land management perspective | This conceptual study aims at interpreting available legal conventions which deal with outer space. It should derive a systematic overview of who owns what, who has a right to what and how are rights determined - based on land management perspectives and theories. | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
| Design and assessment of Marine cadastres - based on cases in south east Asia | Marine cadastres record and register (transaction in) rights, responsibilities and responsibilities in area or volumes of water, mostly in coastal regions and along riversheds, but also in sea and ocean waters. This research aims at comparing, evaluating, designing and use of marine cadastres and marine cadastral data models in different and specific institutional, biophysical and societal contexts. Goal is to derive a comparative compilation of best practices, current developments, problems and limitations, opportunities and risks of marine cadastres. | Walter T. de Vries | Study project, Bachelor and/or Master |
