What is communal land ownership?
Communal land ownership is where a group or culture owns the land, and not the government, a company, or an individual. In America, this is not a common concept anymore, since land that is not privately owned is owned by the local, state or federal government. This type of ownership still exists in some parts of the world, though. Communal land can be described as used or shared in common by everyone in a group or community. In that sense, a public park or town common (both owned by the town but dedicated to public use) might be considered modern communal land.
