Abstract

Background of the study: Land registry offices are faced with misplacement and misfiling of records caused by improper practices by registry staff. Purpose: This study examined the influence of socio-demographic characteristics on the extent of land records management practices in land registry offices in district councils in Tanzania. Method: Qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to complete data collection and data analysis. A purposive sampling was used to select 160 land registry staff and 19 key informants. Quantitative data were analyzed by using SPSS version 26, while the qualitative data was analyzed by using content analysis with the aid of ATLAS.ti software. Findings: The findings show that there is a low practice among land registry staff of district councils. Age has a positive influence on LRMP, while career and working experience have a negative influence on LRMP. Conclusion: Adequate consideration should be given to individuals' age, experience, and career to a higher level of practices of land records in land registry offices. Training programs for non-professionals such as surveys, cartographers, and evaluators should be conducted to enhance their skills and competence in LRMP.

Abstract

Background of the study: Proper land record management requires consideration of practice procedures. However, land record management in registry offices is insufficient. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of land record management practices in land registry offices in district councils in Tanzania. Method: The study targeted 160 land record staff, purposively selected across 19 districts in three regions of Tanzania. Qualitative data were collected using an interview and observation guide, while quantitative data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire in the study area. Findings: The study found that only record creation practices were more effective with a 2.321 mean score, p< 0.05, while the other five practices were not effective owing to several reasons, including the absence of procedures for guiding land record staff on how to manage land records, and the use of outdated filing classification methods. Conclusion: The use of practice procedures in managing land records in registry offices within district councils in Tanzania will contribute to the effectiveness of land record management.
