community ownership
Community owned assets or organisations are those that are owned and controlled through some representative mechanism that allows a community to influence their operation or use and to enjoy the benefits
arising.
Benefits of community ownership in infrastructure projects such are dams and irrigation are claimed to include increased responsiveness to needs of that community and the community valuing the projects more highly.
Community land buyouts
Community land buyouts are situations where communities buy the land they live on and manage them through locally run trusts. There are many examples of this in the highlands and islands of Scotland including Eigg and Assynt
