Land tenure and environmental conditions at Wupperthal

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This study documents a unique system of informal land tenure practised internally at the Moravian mission settlement of Wupperthal. The study analyses the system of tenure in terms of formal recognized systems, that exist or have existed in the past, and also in terms of the settlement's physical and social environment. Suggestions are made as to changes which could be introduced to ensure a constructive life-style for the inhabitants of Wupperthal, as well as the presentation of both the cultural and physical environment, so that future generations will be able to appreciate the beauty and tranquility of the village.
