| Yhteenveto: | Land which has legacies of tenure reforms offers scope for studying its relationship with contemporary
dynamic land markets and increasing urban influence. This paper seeks to locate the association of
interventions in land tenure with the increasing urban influence and spurt in land markets of Kerala, a
state in India renowned for land reforms. Based on review, analysis of various interventions initiated in
Kerala starting way back in the 19 th century is attempted to understand the changes in tenure and its
impact on land markets and urban form. The role of the land reforms in distributing lakhs of title deeds
by way of abolishing tenancy as well as hutment land were seminal in increasing the land ownership, but
also contributed to activating land markets and rural-urban transformation. Results also indicate that in
the absence of periodic introduction of proper land governance structures, land markets can also lead to
imperfections and distortions. |
