Department of Architecture and Building, the Papua New Guinea University of Technology, Lae, Papua New Guinea

The paper explores the role of the traditional land tenure system in the over-all develop ment of Papua New Guinea and constructs measures to identify and to improve the availability of urban land and its accessibility to customary landowners.
