摘要：Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer based software that is specifically designed to capture, store, analyze, manipulate, edit, retrieve and display spatially referenced data. The GIS technology being a robust, dynamic, consistent, flexible and versatile in nature; has the capability of managing both spatial and attribute data. This paper hypothesizes that the current manual system of land management in Nguru town can no longer withstand or resist the contemporary growth of economic and information technology. It has instead created over 85 litigations in Nguru local government in 2019. This paper therefore focused on the creation of a GIS database so as to mitigate and sanitise land hitches and pave way for sustainable development. The procedure adopted invite the use of spatial and attribute data; such as lot details, GPS coordinates, digitisation of layout map and the formulation of excel file. The GIS database is flexible and retrieval of information is much faster and easier. The database system allowsfor spatial and attribute queries via the data embedded in the system. The GIS system if properly implemented will generate revenue to the local authority such as quests’ fee, verification fee, update fee and tax. This database will create a consistent registry that makes land transactions much cheaper, timely and certain, lessen corruption, mitigate snags, provide tenure security and a support tool for policy formulations.
