Property, Possession and Conflict in Re/Building Settlement

The project will examine the effects of various forms of property and their effects on the social relationships, community morphology, sustainability, community involvement, and issues that relate to potential conflict. The research will be based on three cases - Kenya, Bosnia-Herzogovina and South Africa.
The three cases were chosen to examine different aspects of property relations and their impact on sustainable settlement in both conflict and post-conflict situations at a number of settlement scales and at different moments of settlement rebuilding. From this research we hope to both document the influences of property allocation on settlement social life and to create lessons learned with which to guide future action.
