Assessing The Impact of Cadastral Modernization On Land Governance in Zanzibar
Methodology:
1. Data Availability:
Data Collection:
Identify and gather cadastral records, land tenure documents, and historical land governance records
from government agencies, land registries, and archives in Zanzibar.
Collect geospatial data, including satellite imagery, aerial photographs, and cadastral maps, to assess the
modernization status.
Data Sources:
Data Verification:
Validate the collected data through field surveys and interviews with landowners, local officials, and
surveyors to cross-verify cadastral data.
2. Data Processing:
Integration:
Integrate digitized cadastral maps with other geospatial data, such as satellite imagery and terrain
models.
Database Development:
Create a spatial database to manage and store the integrated cadastral and geospatial data.
3. Data Analysis:
Theoretical Analysis:
Develop a theoretical framework for assessing the impact of cadastral modernization on land
governance, considering land tenure security, land disputes, and administrative efficiency.
Technical Analysis:
Perform spatial statistics to assess land tenure security and land use changes before and after
modernization.
Conduct statistical analysis using data on land disputes, land transactions, and administrative efficiency.
Comparative Analysis:
Compare data from the pre-modernization and post-modernization periods to identify changes and
trends in land governance.
Synthesis:
Combine theoretical and technical findings to draw conclusions regarding the impact of cadastral
modernization on land governance in Zanzibar.
Interpret the results, assessing how cadastral modernization has influenced land governance, tenure
security, and administrative efficiency.
Provide recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders based on the research outcomes.
