Due to population expansion, Kampala as any other urban area is facing the problems of unplanned rapid growth such as: congestion, unplanned slums amongst others. The Kampala Physical Development Plan pointed out the need to develop new satellite eco-towns in the Greater Kampala Metropolitan Area of Ssisa and Mpatta to contain population explosion and reduce on the problems being experienced in the city. However, the exact location of the eco-towns in Ssisa and Mpatta isn't known. Based on literature review, surveys and images analysis coupled with the Analytical Hierarchy Process method, the research sought to determine the actual sites. Through a comprehensive evaluation for the new towns, sites selected were those densely located with relatively high scored cells

Comparative and qualitative research approach was employed to achieve the objectives of the study. The research was also conducted within the context of long standing research collaboration under the umbrella of the Eastern African Land Administration Network (EALAN). The Eastern African countries included in this study are those represented through respective institutions in the EALAN, namely: Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. The findings of this research reveals that the region manifests diverse background of land governance arrangements where formal and informal actors and processes still important. The study also shows that the formal systems in most of the countries are not reaching large parts of the society yet. Due to the limitations of the formal systems, aspects of custom and informal authority structures exis...

Land tenure and property rights exist concurrently. Well defined property rights and institutions in land are prerequisite for proper land management. When land rights are well laid out, there is sustainable management on land which culminates to improved welfare of individuals and economic growth of a nation. The terms property rights and land rights will be used concurrently for this paper. Uganda as a country has gone through different land reforms in terms of land tenure from before the colonial era to date. The origin of the existing land tenure systems dates way back in 1900 when the British made their first attempt to formalise the means of holding land in Uganda. The colonial administration thought that customary land holding was not a good system of land rights ownership. The British, when signi...

Land is the basic element of development and more especially in developing countries such as Uganda. A good land administration system is a prerequisite for proper land management and information about parcels of land is the basis on which a good land administration and land information system can be built. In this review, we examine issues and problems pertaining to land information management in Uganda. We discuss the roles of various stakeholders, the nature and format of the information and how handling of this information has affected land administration in Uganda. Furthermore, we highlight the various efforts being taken by the government of Uganda in addressing land administration problems. In particular, we examine the current computerisation process and establishment of land information system. Finally, we propose possible solutions to the land information handling problems in Uganda.
