"The foundation of property rights governance is comprised of three elements:

1) the capacity to incorporate diverse economic and political interests in dialogue and design of programs to resolve priority property rights issues,

2) the availability of suitable information about the capabilities and uses of land as well as the boundaries of properties, and

3) the legal framework, the rules which the society devises to handle the competing property rights imperatives, including formal expression of these rules in laws and regulations, as well as the customs which people devise about the exercise of property rights and the responsibilities of the holders of these rights."

In other words, they are using a distributive rights (i.e. social democratic) framework in talking about property rights. If one is in favor of individual rights, and state non-interference, then moving higher on this list is bad, not good.
