Abstract

Abstract Land Information Systems are touted to be critical for efficient land management and administration. If properly used and updated, they can inform decision makers in a timely fashion on land resources utilisation. The Government of Botswana has consequently implemented a Tribal Land Information Management System (TLIMS) at Mogoditshane Sub‐Land Board. This study seeks to evaluate the extent to which the TLIMS meets its intended purpose of improving land management and administration. The study also tries to establish the factors that affect usage of the TLIMS. The findings of the study show that there is no records consolidation amongst Land Boards. The main recommendation of the study is that information systems used by various Land Boards need to be standardised to ensure ease of integration of systems. This study contributes to research on information Systems in Developing Countries.
