HISTORIC BACKGROUND OF LAND ADMINISTRATION
Until the mid of 20th century:
Nomadic way of life – main source of livelihood was pastoral live-stock production Only few settlements, very little agricultural/crop production Proprietary rights and mentality related to land ownership are much different compared to the settled way of life
Attachment to particular piece of land is rather abstract then proprietary and economic
