Abstract

Numerous indications suggest that the goals of land administration are bedeviled by inefficiencies such as title document duplicity, delayed processes and ineffective land use monitoring. To address these land administration ineptitudes, policy makers, practitioners and academics have attenuated the adoption of information and communication technology facets such as geographic information systems (GIS). In response, the study investigated the effect of this technology on urban land administration in Enugu, Nigeria using GIS as proxy. Descriptive research design was employed over a population of 411 employees of the Enugu State Ministry of Lands, Survey and Town Planning. Given the manageable nature of the population, a census study was conducted. Data was collected from primary sources using structured questionnaire, and analysis employed Spearman Rank Order Correlation as a result of the nonparametric nature of the data collected. Findings show significant positive correlations between ArcGIS data management and duplicity attenuation (r=.928; p
