| dc.description.abstract | The study examined the level of awareness of technological innovations in land administration among stakeholders comprising academics and officials charged with the responsibility of administering and managing land in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria. The study sampled 114 land experts and employed multi-layer non-probabilistic sampling, i.e. cluster, convenience and snowballing techniques. Descriptive statistics of mean score of weighted options (5-point Likert scale), cross tabulation and Kruskal-Wallis test were deployed to analyse the data. The mean score (MS) showed a very low level of awareness of technological innovations among the respondents. The result revealed that, the respondents have a fair knowledge of Geodata Cadastral Database and Land Resource Manager. The compare mean score analysis of the level of awareness against the respondents’ background information revealed that field personnel, GIS experts, HND holders and experienced land administrators were relatively familiar with the technologies in their categories. Kruskal-Wallis was used to test if there is a significant difference in the opinions of the respondents considering variation in their background profiles. The test result showed that there is no statistical significant difference in the opinions of the land experts. The findings signaled that the operation of land administration in the country is still at a basic level, manual and labour intensive. The study therefore advocated for scaling up of sensitisation and awareness campaigns on the technological innovations, synergy between field and academic land experts, training and re-training of personnel and adoption of strong institutional framework that will enhance LAS in the country. | en_US |
