Land protection: land protection syndrome

From the moment of returning to the Constitutional rule of Ghana, he has strengthened his efforts to promote human rights. However, there are several challenges to assist ownership, especially in land ownership (International Trade: Trade in Nations, 2019). Land guards are a nightmare of landowners in Ghana, especially in the Great Akkra region.

Land hum, also known as land litigation, is widespread in Ghana. This concerns illegal occupation and control over land by individuals or groups using force, intimidation or fraudulent means to require land ownership. This issue often arises from weak land management systems, corruption and lack of legal protection for marginalized groups.

As a result, countless families lose their homes and life, which leads to an increase in poverty and social riots. In recent years, the land has been increasingly spreading, causing conflicts and disputes between communities and impedes economic development in the country.

Rapid urbanization and population growth have led to an increase in demand for housing and commercial premises, pressure on existing land. This has created a profitable land seizure market that operate the situation to buy and sell land illegally. In addition, the lack of a comprehensive and effective landowment system of Ghana has made it easier to manipulate and use loopholes in the system to win them.

The history of land protection is crucial because it gives an idea of ​​the root causes and patterns of this issue. The colonialism and implementation of Western land tenure systems in Ghana played a significant role in the emergence of land protection. The introduction of new laws and rules has violated the traditional land ownership.

The story is that local communities, feeling the need to protect their land from encroachment, began to form groups of people known as land guards. These land guards often resorted to tactics of violence and intimidation, which leads to increased tension and increased uncertainty in land. This escalation of violence and intimidation has further complicated the difficult issue of land rights, which complicates the search for peaceful resolutions and the continuation of the conflict and insecurity cycle.

The heritage of the colonial rule and the further independence of Ghana had little to resolve the main issues of land ownership and land disputes. Instead, the post -colonial era witnessed the continuation of the same samples of the capture of land and encroachment established in the colonial period.

Land protection syndrome is a psychological disorder characterized by deceptive beliefs that property is threatened with malefactors or encroachment. This syndrome is important because it can force people to take extraordinary measures to protect their land. It is important to note that land protection syndrome is not a recognized formal medical diagnosis, but rather a term used to describe a specific set of symptoms and behavior revealed by those who suffer from this condition. Although it is difficult to determine the exact number of people suffering from land protection syndrome. Anecdotal data indicate that it may be more likely to occur in areas with higher ownership or in places where land ownership is highly valued.

Real estate and land guards in Ghana have become urgent problems that need attention. With increasing demand for property and limited land availability, conflicts and property disputes have become widespread. Land protection further intensified these problems. One of the main factors is the lack of a comprehensive land registration system and documentation, which creates ambiguity and creates a place for several claims for the same fragment of the land.

In addition, poverty and unemployment contribute to the growth of land guards, as people consider it an opportunity for financial benefits. The impact of this threat is far -reaching, which affects not only people and families who are forcibly evicting their homes, but also on the general economy and investment climate in the country. In order to resolve this issue, the government must determine the priority initiatives of land reform, such as the introduction of a transparent and efficient land registration system, as well as to create employment opportunities to repel people from participation in land protection.

Some of the negative consequences of land protection on real estate operations reduce the confidence of investors due to uncertainty and risk associated with land ownership, and increased costs for developers and real estate owners, as they may have to pay bribes or hire security to protect their land.

In addition, land protection can lead to violation of development projects and construction delays, which further increases costs for developers. This can interfere with the economic growth and development of cities in the affected areas. In addition, land protection, which leads to legal disputes and lawsuits, not only causes long -term legal battles, but also adds significant costs for real estate transactions, restraining potential investors and limiting the overall potential of growth of the real estate market.

After all, the negative effects of land protection on real estate operations can have far -reaching consequences for economic and social well -being.
