    Impacts socio-économiques des conflits fonciers sur le développement rural : Cas de la Commune Mukike
    (UB, FLSH, 2025-06) Nimubona, Nestor; Sous la direction de : Directeur : Pr. Aloys Ndayisenga; Co-directeur : Doctorant Pierre Itangishaka
    The survey results highlight a population characterized by inequalities in education, marital status, and family structure, which have a direct impact on land practices and socioeconomic dynamics. Regarding family planning, 79.11% of respondents support it, compared to 20.89% who reject it, reflecting a relative openness to modern population management practices. Land acquisition is dominated by inheritance (70.58%), highlighting the importance of traditions in land transfer, while purchase (29.43%) illustrates a gradual commoditization of land. These dynamics, coupled with recurring land conflicts, impact rural development. Land conflicts in Mukike commune are mainly caused by delayed land sharing (50.98%), cases of double sales (17.64%), and exceeding land boundaries (31.37%). On the socioeconomic level, these land conflicts result in killings (1.9%), injuries (52.94), imprisonment (56.86%), payment of legal fees (66.66%), and sale of property (41.17%). On the environmental level, these land conflicts contribute to deforestation (74%) and bushfires (26%). To address this, NGOs such as Cordaid Burundi have distributed equipment to the Bahuza council and have already raised awareness among the population about land issues.
