Global Meta-Synthesis of Stakeholder Participation in Urban Land Readjustment

A systematic meta-synthesis analyzes 47 peer-reviewed empirical studies on stakeholder participation in urban land readjustment globally. The study, conducted by Fawaz Alasmari and published in 2026, identifies seven recurring participatory approaches and key institutional barriers.

Use Cases

• Analyze recurring participatory approaches like inclusive decision-making and consensus building from the thematic analysis.
• Identify institutional barriers such as fragmentation and procedural complexity documented across the 47 studies.
• Apply the conceptual framework mapping the 'who, where, when, what and how' of participation across the land readjustment lifecycle.
• Examine links between participatory quality and outcomes like trust and social cohesion synthesized from the literature.

Strengths

• Systematic analysis of 47 empirical studies using the PRISMA protocol.
• Synthesizes findings into a conceptual framework with temporal-institutional perspective.

Limitations

• Very small file size of 31.0 KB indicates limited primary data, primarily containing a synthesis document.
• Analysis is based on a meta-synthesis of existing literature, not original empirical data collection.
