Innovative research on Land Governance: Updating the Brazilian land atlas

Vitor Bukvar Fernandes, Gabriel Pansani Siqueira, Bastiaan Philip Reydon, Isabel Garcia Drigo, Felipe José Cerignoni, Thea Hilhorst

Information about land tenure in Brazil is uncertain and controversial due to multiple reasons including a confusing legal framework that leads to institutional overlaps (World Bank, 2014), lack of a long-term land administration policy and an integrated land cadaster (Reydon and Fernandes 2017, Reydon et al 2015). Sparovek et al (2019) contributed to addressing this problem for the first time, by developing an integrated map of Brazilian land tenure encompassing all official datasets on land tenure from the different institutions and with data from both public and private lands.
