Resumo(s)
Security of land tenure is key to achieve the sustainable development goal of eradicating poverty and can be
improved through the regularization of rights to land, property, and natural resources. Making cities and human
settlements sustainable, requires participatory and integrated land use planning, accounting for the land’s potential and constraints, with a view to medium and long-term use. The government of Mozambique is actively
promoting a process of massive regularization, under common terms of reference for service providers. The terms
of reference also intend to achieve a linkage between regularization and community land use plans. The aim of
this research is to assess the robustness of such plans to detect and overcome potential conflicts between the
given and the potential land use, as well as constraints, weaknesses and threats. This research uses a mixed
documental analysis to undertake an ex-ante assessment of 15 participatory community land use plans. Five
categories are assumed as a reference of good practices in land use planning suggested by universal and African
literature. It was found that the common terms of reference and guidelines promote participatory capacity and
provides general directions of community development. However, good practices of land use planning such as
effective participation in all phases, alternative scenarios for future land use, regional integration, and disasters
risk management are less promoted. It is suggested that the guidelines go beyond the immediate needs of land
register, to consider that such interventions in rural areas shape the culture of land use, which, in turn, will
influence sustainability in higher level settlements
