ABSTRACT
Land has many, multifaceted values to people. Throughout history, the values provided to people by land and its relative scarcity have resulted in minor and major competitions for its possession, use and management. The struggle for survival leads to competition for land as an input for producing the basic necessities of life such as food, shelter and clothing. Conflicts over land to provide basic necessities for survival have occurred over and over again in past civilizations. These types of conflicts can be observed today in many underdeveloped parts of the world.
