摘要传统土地转为租赁权在赞比亚和其他国家引起了激烈的争论。在过去15年中，人们对土地的兴趣日益增长，导致非洲各地对土地的需求激增，特别是邻近主要城市、城镇和发达基础设施的土地。对土地日益增长的需求正逐渐针对传统土地，资源丰富的城市和地方精英以及外国投资者正在将传统土地从传统保有权转为私人保有权，这对非洲传统土地的未来提出了严重的问题。本文从赞比亚Chongwe和奇邦博地区进行的案例研究中，讨论了围绕传统土地转换出现的动态。本研究报告收集的证据表明，将传统土地转为租赁土地保有权为城市精英、少数传统领导人和国际投资者带来了机会，但同时也给当地社区的大多数人带来了严重挑战。
Abstract The conversion of customary land into leasehold tenure has sparked intense debates in Zambia and beyond. Growing interest in land in the last decade and half has led to a spike in demand for land across Africa, especially land adjacent to major cities, towns and developed infrastructure. This growing demand for land is gradually being directed at customary land, which well-resourced urban and local elites, as well as foreign investors, are converting from customary to private tenure, raising serious questions about the future of customary land in Africa. This paper discusses the emerging dynamics around customary land conversion drawing from a case study conducted in Chongwe and Chibombo districts in Zambia. Evidence gathered in this study suggest that while the conversion of customary land to leasehold tenure is generating opportunities for the urban elite, a few traditional leaders and international investors, it is, at the same time, creating serious challenges for the majority of the people in the local communities.
