Synopsis
Land management can be seen to play a coordinating role between land policy and land administration. The objectives of land management are to fulfil the environmental, economic, and social goals of land policy by planning, promoting and controlling efficient land use through the process of land administration. This course further elaborates this relationship by examining how economic, social and environmental drivers guide the development of land policies. The importance of the country context is considered and specifically focuses on Sri Lanka.
