Social Sciences - Real Estate / Environmental impact (land rights) in Burkina Faso
French term or phrase: maîtrise foncière
I'm seeking help to differentiate (if possible) between the nuances of three terms in an environmental impact study. I will post them – according to ProZ rules – separately. I'm providing a rather lengthy passage where all terms are used. Thanks for your help!


Comme l’a souligné XYZ, les gens de la terre ou fils de la terre ou encore maître de la terre, appelés Tengdemba ou Tengbiisi ont découpé leur espace en unités territoriales de peuplement hiérarchisées entre elles, la plus petite unité territoriale correspondant à l’unité territoriale villageoise.

Les gens du pouvoir n’ont pas calqué leur organisation politique segmentaire sur celle des maîtres de la terre, mais ont utilisé à leurs propres fins ce découpage en ***maîtrises foncières**** de l’espace qu’ils ont passées sous leur commandement. Dans l’ensemble, la hiérarchie territoriale des maîtres de terres et des chefs de commandement ne se superpose pas.

Les unités de ****maîtrise foncière**** originelle au niveau de la zone du projet minier, peuvent être esquissées comme suit:
➢ à la maîtrise de Kononga sont associés les commandements des Barelego, de Basnèrè, Konanganoogo, Kowendé, Rapougma et Waiguyo;
➢à la maîtrise de Rapougma est associé le commandement de Defogo.

À l’intérieur de chaque maîtrise de terre, la répartition des domaines épouse l’organisation sociale en lignage, segment de lignage, en familles, ménages.

Cette situation a évolué et de nos jours, beaucoup de villages disposent d’une *** maîtrise foncière *** autonome et la plus petite subdivision interne correspond au domaine du ménage qui est devenu l’unité minimale de production et de consommation au détriment de la grande famille traditionnelle qui s’est
éclatée avec l’évolution démographique.

Ainsi, selon les résultats des enquêtes, on compte dans la zone du projet minier cinq (5) maîtrises de terres autonomes, à savoir Barelego, Kononga Mossi (y compris Kononga Peulh), Koswendé (y inclus Konvoudougou), Namissiguima (y inclus Ramatoulaye), et Noogo.

"The biggest hurdle for the DUDH, today, is getting powerful Thimphu landowners to accept the plan. About 25-30 percent of the registered landholdings will be taken as land pool under the provisions of the plan."
