Abstract
Land is a fundamental resource for majority of Cambodian households to generate income and food security. However, recently land has become a hot issue for which land disputes have been risen up rapidly nationwide; yet effective mechanisms have not been reached. The purpose of this paper is to analyse and find the causes of land disputes in Cambodia which mainly focuses on the implementation of land legislations. Methodologically, literature review and case studies are used to produce information for this study. The study revealed that the root cause of land disputes is basically from the failure of government in implementing land legislations while government himself also violates various areas of laws and regulations as proved in case studies. The failure of enforcing land legislations has not only led to land disputes but also has pushed affected households into chronic poverty. Therefore, land legislations shall be effectively enforced whereas social and economic development shall benefit to all rather than a few while any impacts of development on communities shall be fairly compensated and relocated in advance.
