This report is a presentation of a small glimpse of the legislation, and the administrative bodies, that are important for the control and use of land in Norway. The report aims to provide a snapshot, and is not intended to undertake any in-depth analysis of factors affecting land use. The report is the result of two months ’ work. For reasons of capacity it has been necessary to sacrifice certain important aspects of the subject: this applies to maritime law, in which legislation concerning fisheries, aquaculture, hunting and land use is relevant, and also the legislation related to renewable resources on shore. I would like to express my gratitude to Professor Kirsti Strøm Bull for sound commentary and suggestions for improvements to the report, and also Marit Myrvoll, board member of the Resource Centre for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, for input and commentary while the work was in progress. In addition I would like to thank Else Grete Broderstad and Ingar Nikalaisen Kuljok for commentary during the process. I would like to emphasise that the responsibility for any incorrect formulations in the report as a whole is nevertheless mine alone, at the same time as I hope that readers will take the time
