Access to Land Title in Cambodia

The primary focus of the research was to identify when and how exclusions and other barriers are preventing people from accessing SLR (Systematic Land Registration), and how this is impacting on the broader benefits of the titling system. Here, “exclusion” refers to those who have been excised from adjudication areas prior to or during the process of survey and demarcation, and to those cases where land parcels are left unregistered due to having “unclear status”. The study also sought to gather more detail on the incidence of disputes during the SLR process, and the issue of subsequent registration of land – the process of re-registering titled land when it is transferred to a new owner. This study has drawn on existing research and aims to build on those findings by looking in more detail at how the system is being implemented in practice in four target areas spread across the country.
