Abstract:	"The paper reviews the changes, which have occurred in the property rights over land and in the decentralization process in Romania since 1990, and evaluates their relation to the change in land management. It is found that the unclear, uncertain and informal property rights that have emerged as a result of the transformation of common to private property and the slow development of land markets had a negative impact on land management. In addition, neither the central nor the local authorities could be influential with respect to enforcing the property rights or land use regulations. Currently, the relatively developed land market and local government abilities offer prospects for improved land management."
