Rights to land situated in the continuum between socially based (or communal) and individualised (or formal or western) tenure are often weak, and right holders may derive security both from traditional ceremonies and from mimicking elements of individualised tenure. This research investigates the way that entries Zimbabwe’s development levy register – which was never intended as a title register – can help to secure land rights. A nuanced understanding is sought of issues involved in paying (or not paying) development levies at district and village level, and of how parts of the system are used by right holders as a first-stage cadastre capable of delivering a degree of land right security.

在基于社会的（或社区）和个人化（或正式或西方）权属之间连续的土地使用权通常很弱，权利人既可以从传统仪式上也可以通过模仿个体化权属的要素来获得安全。这项研究调查了津巴布韦的发展税登记簿（从未打算用作所有权登记簿）可以帮助确保土地权利的方式。寻求对在地区和村庄一级支付（或不支付）开发费所涉及的问题以及权利人如何将系统的某些部分用作能够提供一定程度的土地权利安全性的第一阶段地籍的细微理解。
