Land settlement strategies and their evaluation.

Expert InsightsPublished 1966

A discussion of some of the characteristics of various land settlement strategies in the context of Latin America. The author identifies two pure settlement strategies, which he describes as either a colonization project planned, directed, and supported by the government, or as an internal migration into unsettled areas with no outside assistance. Following this, a description of various mixed modes (and the conditions for determining the mixture) is presented. The paper's major intent is to organize a procedure for investigating and analyzing land settlements that will be flexible enough to evaluate various types of settlement activities, pure and mixed. The major variables for determining the best procedure lie in the formulation of the project, the procedures for its implementation and operation, and an economic analysis of the overall settlement system. 19 pp.
