Property Rights Regimes. Private property occurs when the strands of the property rights
bundle are held by a natural or legal person
Common property exists where property rights strands areshared among members of a community or association.
Public property is established when the strands of the bundle areconcentrated, held and managed by the government.
Open access occurs where either no specific rights to land ornatural resources have been assigned or claimed by holders.

Elements of Tenure Security
Legitimacy- A leading factor in property rightsenforceability is the degree of legitimacy of theproperty rights system in which the claimed rights areanchored. A high degree of legitimacy encourages
voluntary compliance on the one hand, anddiscourages challenges to recognized rights on theother. A high degree of legitimacy reduces the need forrepressive responses and elaborate institutions for
dispute resolution. Property rights gain legitimacythrough laws and associated institutions

Institutional backing -Institutions are necessary to
enforce the specific legal system that provideslegitimacy to a set of property rights. Theseinstitutions (associated with each legal system) areresponsible for making and modifying rules of the
regime; monitoring compliance with those rules;sanctioning persons who infringe rules; mediating anyof monitoring; sanctioning; resolving resultingconflicts; disseminating information about resulting
disputes; and mobilizing resources, leaders and staff toconduct all these functions.

Clarity - Clarity, or shared and widespread understanding,
of existing property rights is another factor in securingproperty rights since it helps to eliminate the gray areas
within a property rights system that can lead to ambiguity.
Excludability - A use, management or transfer right to anatural resource has meaning only to the extent that therights holder is capable of excluding non-rights holdersfrom using the claimed right. Lack of capacity to exclude
non-rights holders from property held by recognized rightsholders moves the property system toward a situation ofopen access and potential conflict.
