This study examines the improvement of access to legal information in the resolution of land disputes amongst rural communities. Land disputes in rural areas frequently arise due to the community’s limited understanding of ownership status, legal procedures and the available dispute resolution mechanisms. Limited legal literacy, a lack of public awareness campaigns, geographical distance, and the sub-optimal use of information technology are factors that exacerbate these issues. This study employs a literature review method, examining various books, journals, legislation, and relevant academic sources to identify the problems and formulate strategies for improving access to legal information. The findings indicate that ongoing legal education, the active role of village governments, the establishment of village paralegals, collaboration with legal aid organisations, and the use of digital media and social communication are effective strategies for expanding access to legal information for rural communities. With increased access to legal information, it is hoped that the community will be better able to understand their rights and obligations, prevent conflicts at an early stage, and resolve land disputes fairly, swiftly and equitably.
