Land Reform is a distributive measure which transfers power, property, income and status from one group in the community to another. There are two strategies in land reform, capitalist strategy and socialist strategy. The two strategies are different not only in their objectives and ideologies, but also in the method of land allotment and confiscatin. Capitalist land reform is aimed at accomplishing the land -to -the -tiller program of which the implementing process is always included rent reduction and sale of public lands. Socialist land reform is aimed at achieving abolition of property right of land and application of all rent revenue from land to public purpose. The process of the socialist land reform is comprising Bauernbefreiung and land collectivization. In conclusion, the former is resulted in high productivity of land and the later is identified low productivity of land.

Land reform was performed in most under-developed countries after liberation from colonialism. In Griffin's thesis, the objectives of the land reform were classified in to three categories based on their ideology. Under capitalist ideology, emphasis was placed on the property ownership, so there has been existed large farms and various tenancy systems. But in this study the characteristics of capitalism was defined as deligence and thrift, and parity exchange. Land reform, tenants must have their own land, is the basic solution to support these characteristics.

With consideration of proximate and intricate relationships among rural livelihood, farm land and forestry; this paper examined impact of land tenure reform on local peoples' forest dependency by taking Ethiopia as case study. The post 1975 major land tenure reform and associated activities such as land distribution and forest demarcation were found to be short of minimizing pressure on the forest as has been evidenced by percentage of new households established inside the forest and current level of dependency on the forest. With most of recently established households all making up the poor and very poor categories, together with overall of household composition which is dominated by dependent members coupled by current land tenure system that tie farmers with their land, future dependency on the already diminished forest seems to increase unabated. Reconsidering the existing land tenure system backed by policy for livelihood diversification, improvement in rural education and awareness on demographic issues can minimize future dependency on the forest.

Whereas previous researches on land policy after unification dealt with principally the problem of land confiscation under the communist reign, this research tried to propose a scheme of long-term land reform which was based on case studies on ex-socialist societies' experiences during their transformation, analysis on North Korea's institution related to land ownership and use. To reform North Korea's land ownership and use by the principle of market economy, North Korean should accumulate their commencing asset necessary for private ownership of land and housing. Therefore much focus should be put on the accumulation of the commencing asset at the early state of unification. On the extension of that line, the government of the Unified Korea should try to solve the problem of land confiscation by the communist party and land privatization in the region of North Korea. For the purpose, gradual land reform is more desirable than rapid one according to the case studies on ex-socialist societies. The government should avoid policies than can result in serious fiscal burden. Active participation of local government is highly recommendable in land tax and development. On the direction of land policy, this research proposed a four step long-term scheme of land reformation in North Korea. However, later researches should put more Korea. However, later researches should put more emphasis to the unification of land institution of North and South Korea which this research couldn't deal with sufficiently.

Among legal unit of land registration, the minimum unit of land is one parcel. We give the parcel number according to numbering system to confirm the specification of the parcel. In Korea, this parcel number is used for daily life such as the sign of fixed place(address) and the property, of the place of register, of identification card and of legal action. It also plays the important role as a key item connecting the layer of other information system in organizing Land Information System. It is also valued as the sources looking for the process of developing of the country. This study will devote to cadastral history, reform and reestablishment of the country.

The financial resources for public land banking enacted by Public Land Banking Act (2009) are LH (Korea Land and Housing Corporation) contributions, LH Bond, Land Bank revenues, etc. But, in real, the efficient funding resource is mainly LH bond. In these days, LH has experienced deep financial distress, and difficulties in issuing it's bond. Therefore, Land Banking project also has been inactivated because of poor financial resources. As Land Banking project depending its financial resources mainly on LH Bond does not have financial sustainability, it is necessary to reform the fundamental funding structure. This is the starting point for the topic of this paper. This paper suggests to reform the funding structure, and to introduce Land Bank Bond guaranteed by Government, and also to modify the accounting method of Land Bank to separate the Land Bank accounts with LH accounts. The funding structure reform can be summarized as follows; In early stage of the Land Banking project, sufficient government support by guaranteeing the Land Bank Bond is necessary. Gradually, the portion of LH's contribution can be increased in company with LH's financial distress being solved and administration being normalized. When the project reached on the stage of maturity, cash inflows by selling the reserved land can exceed the cash outflows for reserve new land. To introduce the Land Bank Bond guaranteed by government, the Public Land Banking Act (2009) should be revised. Along with this, to modify the accounting method of Land Bank, the rule for public enterprise accounting system must be partially revised.

Despite the longing for democracy of most people, Myanmar has missed opportunities for social and economic development by military dictatorship. However, since 2010, the civilian government has gained new opportunities for reform. After turning to economic reform, developed countries such as the US and EU lifted the economic sanctions that they had taken in the past. As a result, it is growing rapidly compared to neighboring countries due to attracting foreign capital, tariff benefits on export items, and expansion of industrial infrastructure. Despite the increased investment value due to economic growth and democratization, the complex and customary land system of Myanmar must be an uneasy factor in securing stable land rights when entering overseas markets. Therefore, this study sought the method of securing the land rights in the development project through the analysis of the foreign investment system in Myanmar and the investigation of joint development cases. The results of this study are as follows. First, the acquisition of land use rights at the early stage of development can be considered through the foreign investment system. Under the Foreign Investment Law and Myanmar Investment Law, the land can be used for up to 70 years, and Under the Special Economic Zone Law, the land can be used for up to 75 years. Second, in relation to land compensation, it is required to establish a detailed resettlement plan for the indigenous people as the difficulty of land acquisition is expected due to the recent democratization trend and strengthening the voice of residents. Third, land use at the operational stage can be achieved by leasing the land from developers, and this will be the most realistic plan at present. In other words, the developer can directly develop the land created under the Foreign Investment Law and the Special Economic Zone Law, or Sub-lease and transfer the land use right to a third party.

Land reform in Korea was performed in 1949. The formation of owner farmers was the primary objective of land reform. But since land reform, the number of tenants has been increasing, and it reached to 65.7% of total farmhousehold by 1985. To analyze the productivity of tenant farming, 40 farmers in Kumnam, Yeongi Gun and Gongju Gun, Banpo, Chungnam Province, were selected as samples for the empirical analysis. The results of the empirical analysis are summarized as follows; 1. In plain area, tenants input 5% more labor, and 15% less capital than owner farmers. In mountain area, tenants input 15% more labor, and 4% more capital than owner farmers. 2. There is no difference in the output of rice between owner farmers and tenants in both area. 3. In plain area, the physical productivity of labor of owner farmers is 4.6 (kg/hour), and that of tenants is 4.4. And the physical productivity of labor of owner farmers in mountain area is 4.2, and that of tenants is 3.6. 4. The physical productivity of capital of owner farmers in plain area is 17.7(kg/1,000 won), and that of tenants is 20.6. In mountain area, the physical productivity of capital of owner farmers is 18.8, and that of tenants is 17.9.

In this paper, we discuss the role of allocative efficiency and X-efficiency in determining resource allocation under the share tenency. Economic efficiency of resource allocation is related to land reform. Classical and neoclassical schools insist that land reform must be achieved for agricultural development by more efficient use of inputs. According to them, there is no incentive for tenants to use inputs until $MVP{\ell}=wage$ under the share tenancy. But "equal efficiency" school's conclusions are different. They conclude that there is no productivity differences between owner cultivation and share tenancy, owing to monopoly power of landlords and/or landlords's transaction costs. Considering X-efficiency, the share tenancy is not as efficient as the owner cultivation. On the other hand, the productivity differences may be reverse, in which landlords cultivate their lands by wage contracts. Land reform--reduction of land rent or redistribution of land--will be benefitable not only for agricultural development, but also for resource allocation in farm management.

The Korean government has introduced land policy reform measures recently, in order to stabilize the circulating system of land, without a parent law involving effective land use. The measures aim to change the pattern of land market rather than the pattern of land use. Expecially, the excessive profits tax on land intends to redistribute the owernership of residential land, and to recapture windfall gains on an accrual basis. However, it may incur secondary gains in macro economics and an unintended reduction of urban land supply in the land market. This paper aims to study empirically the impact caused by the excessive profits tax on land, and to promote urban land supply. Ultimately, this paper can be regarded as an interim report on outcome of research projects which aim to propose a method of urban land supply suitable to an advanced society.
