| dc.description.abstract | The study assessed the effect of land registration reforms on financial acquisition in
Uganda at Buganda Land Board (BLB). The study specifically examined the influence of
computerized land registration systems at BLB on mortgage financing at BLB, examined
the effect of zonal offices on land sale at BLB, and ascertained the moderator effect of
government policy on Land registration reforms and financial acquisition at BLB. The
study used a cross sectional research design. A triangulation of both qualitative and
quantitative approaches using structured questionnaire and interviews, and documentary
review were employed. The study found a very strong and positive correlation between
computerized land registration and mortgage financing, between BLB zonal offices and
land and still a strong and positive correlation between government policy on land
registration reforms and financial acquisition with Pearson correlation coefficient r, of
0.803, 0.815 and 0.923 respectively. It was found that computerized land registration at
BLB is a better predictor of financial acquisition at BLB than Buganda Land Board zonal
offices. All the variables were statistically significant at 99% confidence level. The study
concluded that both Buganda Land Board zonal offices and computerized land registration
at BLB are good predictors of financial acquisition in Uganda at Buganda Land Board. The
study recommended that BLB should aim at automating the whole system of land
registration opening of zonal offices and reform activities such as Systematic Demarcation
are vital in the short and long run, BLB should also sensitize the public about the laws and
policies that govern land and financial acquisition with land used as security. This is due
to the fact that the unclear land law/policies make both financial acquisition and land
registration reforms done at BLB a challenge among other recommendations. | en_US |
