ABSTRACT
Land
is a free gift of nature and a factor of production, land tenure is the name
given, particularly in common law systems, to the
legal regime in which land is owned by an individual, due to the fact that
Keeping record of lands and their owners has been a great task to government
and the governed, access to land
information proves difficult that most times people are defrauded due to lack
of land information, illegal sales of lands without the consent of the owner
are very common etc. This work
‘Computerized Land information system’ is designed to help keep record of land
which includes: the size of the land, Location of the land, the type of houses
to be built on such lands, the owners of purchased Lands and so on. Therefore
this, software is developed to keep record of land information system. As such
making it easy to keep detail information on land size, location, ownership and
type of house to be built on the land and also easy accessibility of stored
records, hence the record in this software will be stored in a database. I
recommend that the ministry of Land and Housing Enugu sees and embraces this
work for convenient and efficient way to keep information of land. This
application has been developed to run on visual basic 6.0 environment.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Land use, land valuation,
is among the oldest questions in economic theory, (Shavell, 2004). Land is an
essential input (factor of production) for
agriculture, and agriculture is by far the most important economic activity in
preindustrial societies. With the advent of industrialization, important new
uses for land emerge, as sites for factories, warehouses, offices, and urban
agglomerations. Also, the value of real property taking the form of man-made
structures and machinery increases relative to the value of land alone. The
concept of real property eventually comes to encompass effectively all forms of
tangible fixed capital. With the rise of
extractive industries, real property comes to encompass natural capital. With the rise of tourism
and leisure, real property comes to include scenic and other amenity values.
Starting in the 1960s, as
part of the emerging field of law and
economics, economists and legal scholars began to study the property rights enjoyed by tenants under the
various estates, and the economic benefits and costs of the various estates,
(Epstein,2007). This resulted in a much improved understanding of the property rights enjoyed by tenants under the
various estates. These include the right to:
a. Decide how a piece of real
property is used;
b. Exclude others from
enjoying the property;
c. Transfer (alienate) some
or all of these rights to others on mutually agreeable terms;
d. Nature and consequences of
transaction costs when changing and
transferring estates.
1.2 STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEM
1. Keeping record of lands
and their owners has been a great task to government and the governed.
2. Access to land information
proves difficult that most times people are defrauded due to lack of land
information.
3. Illegal sales of lands
without the consent of the owner are very common.
4. Certificate of occupancy
is usually a problem. Litigation which results to death and destruction
5. Valuation of land for the purpose of paying
tax to government is not achieved. Hence the need for computerization of land
information system.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The
objective of this study is to develop a software that will keep information on:
1.
Land size, Land location, Land owners, Land use information.
2.
To facilitate the preparation of certificate of occupancy.
3.
To assist the prospective buyers to ascertain the ownership
and availability of the property.
4.
To enhance preparation of lease.
5.
To forestall land speculation, with its attendant violence, destruction
of lives and property.
6.
To promote land information security.
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The purpose of this work is to make
land information accessible to both government and individuals who may like to
acquire land property.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
The project work will help in a good number of ways to
make land information available to users. The software developed can:
a) Keep a database of all the lands in
the state
b) Enable retrieval of land information
c) Guide buyers on how to buy and who to
meet
d) Educate buyers on the type of house
to build in an area for proper town planning.
1.5 SCOPE
OF THE STUDY
This research work is limited to land information
storage and retrieval using ministry of land and housing Enugu as a case study.
The software developed will be carried out using Visual Basic to manage the
database.
1.6 CONSTRAINTS AND LIMITATIONS
Due to technical difficulties, limited access to
confidential data, the information gathered was limited to house acquisition,
usage and property ownership laws. All aspects left out were due to time and
also confidentiality of some property documents.
1.7 DEFINATION
OF TERMS
Databases: A systematically arranged collection of computer data,
structured so that it can be automatically
retrieved or manipulated. It is also called databank.
Fee tail. Under common law, this is
hereditary, non-transferable ownership of real property.
Feudal land ownership, a system of mutual
obligations under which a royal or noble personage granted a fiefdom
Life Estate. Under common law, this is an interest in real
property that ends at death.
Leasehold or rental. Under both common law and
civil law, land may be leased or rented by its owner to another party; a wide
range of arrangements are possible, ranging from very short terms to the
99-year leases, allowing various degrees of freedom in the use of the property.
Property is any physical or intangible entity
that is owned by a person
or jointly by a group of persons.
