This write-up is an attempt to come to terms with the Land Administration Policy (LAP) by underlining some weakness in the assumption underpinning our understanding of Land. The paper draws attention to the lob sightedness of LAP and hence how parochial we are in dealing with the sustainability and hence the competing claims to land in rural settings. Adopting a narrative approach, the overall methodology adopted both throughout the fieldwork and the actual analysis of the findings is that of a qualitative case-based research that saw the substantial use of secondary literature, desk studies, and to a rather limited extent a range of different participatory approaches such as Focus Group/ Stratified Group Discussions, Informal Interaction which evolve around long stays at a particular location, and limited Case Analysis. Findings led to the conclusion that LAP was largely dealing with urban lands understanding of which has been generalise to cover rural lands which are the majority. And that the traditional notions underpinning land have been ignored in so doing. Hence it is recommended not to view land as a homogenous concept but to consciously sort for and deal with the various images of land and, in so doing, fashion out various land administration policies providing a basket of choices rather than a blue-print.
