resource tenure  

Definition

  • Legal tenure arrangements for natural resources such as minerals, fisheries, forest products, petroleum, among others, are fundamental to economic relationships in any human society and the cultural landscapes they create. At any geographical scale, claims to resources and systems to manage and use them must address the economic, environmental, cultural, and political dimensions of resources and the places in which they occur.
