Abstract

Two thirds of the world’s 6 billion tenures are not part of formal governance arrangements. UN-Habitat facilitated the Global Land Tool Network (GLTN) partners to develop pro poor land tools between 2006–2015 to help to fill gaps in the conventional land administration systems. Through the lens of the United Nations (UN) working with a global network, the problem being addressed is about how to develop a pro poor Geographic Information System (GIS) in a way that can lead to changes in power relations in parts of the global land industry; and so that people in some poor communities can have their land rights supported by land documents and digital data. The history of the development of the Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM), elucidates the social change approaches that can contribute to the alteration of land-related power relations from global to local levels. The explanatory power of soft systems methodology, linked to global network governance approaches, including the indirect governance approach of orchestration with, and through, intermediaries, is used. This contributes to sociological understanding about what is involved in bringing about social change in global networked environments linked to the UN in regard to technical innovations.
