Rapid urbanisation in sub-Saharan Africa occurs with little land registration, and government-led regularisation schemes often find limited uptake of title deeds by residents. In theory, there could be private and public benefits from land titling in cities. However, little is known about how landholders value the various dimensions of formal property rights in comparison to informal tenure. We address these questions by unbundling property rights into multiple functions of tenure security and by adopting an innovative combination of methods, including an incentivised willingness-to-pay exercise, a survey, and in-depth interviews conducted in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Examining how landholders perceive dimensions of tenure advances our understanding of limited land formalisation in urban Africa and provides evidence for alternative policy approaches to address local demand for tenure security more effectively.

将保有权保障与产权需求分开：来自坦桑尼亚城市的证据

撒哈拉以南非洲地区的快速城市化进程几乎没有土地登记，而政府主导的正规化计划往往发现居民对产权契约的使用有限。从理论上讲，城市土地所有权可以给私人和公共带来好处。然而，与非正式保有权相比，土地所有者如何评价正式产权的各个方面却知之甚少。我们通过将产权分解为保有权保障的多种功能，并采用创新的方法组合来解决这些问题，包括激励支付意愿、调查以及在坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆进行的深入访谈。研究土地所有者如何看待权属维度，可以增进我们对非洲城市有限的土地正规化的理解，并为更有效地满足当地对权属保障的需求的替代政策方法提供证据。
