Impact of Land Dispute on Economic Well Being of Conflicting Communities in Anambra State

Abstract

The study is focused on the impact of land dispute on the economic well being of conflicting communities in Anambra State. Land is a vital natural resource that hosts and sustains all living things and its economic importance accounts for its use as the base for all economic activities. Dispute over land has a tremendous adverse effect on the economic progress of the disputing communities. The sample size of the study was 530 adult respondents. The respondents were selected through the process of categorising the communities of the study into six social sub groups. Questionnaire guide, Focused Group Discussion FGD and Key Informant Interview KII guides were used as instruments for the collection of quantitative data and qualitative data. The sampling technique was probability sampling procedure, to ensure that relevant individuals were met. Selection of the respondents from each of the population categories was done by proportionate stratified random sampling method. The study showed that any community involved in land dispute is always faced with challenge of backwardness of economic progress. No community with records of land dispute especially when it is violent, ever has provision or prospects of development because whatever will be built is built on land.
