The main aim of the study was to assess the implementation of land surveyed
projects for human settlement development in Ilala Municipal Council. A crosssectional
research design was adopted where by a purposive sampling technique
simple random sampling and systematic random sampling were used due to
involvements of various respondents to obtain a sample of 200 respondents.
Interview questions and questionnaire was the main instruments used in data
collection. Results had shown that land acquisition procedure in land surveyed
projects were not considered during the implementation of land surveyed projects in
Ilala Municipal Council which result to inefficiency while the demand for cadastral
survey is higher than its supply. Citizen of Ilala Municipal Council perceive land
surveyed projects negatively which prohibit human settlement development. It was
concluded that inapplicability of land acquisition procedures resulted to inefficiency
including poor performance of land surveyed projects in Ilala Municipal Council,
hence mismatch between demands for cadastral survey with its supply for human
settlement development. To add on that lack of good governance and awareness to
community result to negative attitudes towards land surveyed projects. Therefore, the
study recommended that the practice of land acquisition procedures shall be taken as
a bridge in implementing land-surveying projects, considering land acquisition
procedures shall increase the supply of cadastral survey for human settlement
development. To add on that the practice of good governance shall reduce negative
perceptions of the IMC citizen.
