Land tenure is relevant to the community and it is a potential response setting the base for development around the globe. It establishes the relation between the population and development thus narrowing the interface between man and his surroundings. Faced with man’s demand for land, improving techniques on land ownership and usage will savaged issues of land tenure in the study area. This will lead to improve productivity, profitability and sustainability of small land holders, likewise infrastructural development based on the background that this study. The aim of this study is to draw attention to the impact of land tenure system and population change on the development of Bui Division. This research is tailored to guide the local land owners on the adaptation to the limited space they are in position for both their agricultural as well as infrastructural activities. Themes studied in this work are interconnected with land tenure system, population change and its implications on the infrastructural development. This study is realized from information gathered from numerous sources. To better appreciate the objectives of this research, land tenure was investigated using the secondary and primary methods of data collection. Research findings revealed that land tenure contributes to infrastructural development within the study area. The study concluded that land tenure system should be greatly improved upon and harness development in Bui Division.
