Examining Property Rights and Investment in Informal Settlements: The Case of Jordan
以约旦安曼郊区为例，质疑传统产权理论中法律权利、使用权保障与土地投资之间的因果关系，探讨土地权利冲突下的产权含义。
The conventional approach to "property rights" and how they are established and assigned to individuals in society assumes a consensual process in which rational individuals compare the benefits and costs of establishing such rights. Drawing on a case study along the periphery of Amman, Jordan, this paper attempts to examine the meaning of "rights" in the context of conflicting claims to land. Furthermore, the paper questions the assumed causal relationship between legal rights, security of tenure, and investment in land.
