“…The study also relied on the experiences of the authors as land administration professionals in the surveying domain in Zimbabwe. The research also makes use of scholarly articles on land administration in Zimbabwe to give more context to the problem such as (Chimhamhiwa, 2002;Chimhamhiwa, 2006;Paradzayi, 2007;Kurwakumire, 2014;Kurwakumire and Kuzhazha, 2015).…”

“…Land information constitutes close to seventy percent of all government related information and accounts for between half and three quarters of national wealth according to (World Bank, 2006). In order to efficiently manage this information while ensuring timely access, there is need to develop a modern cadastre based on international models and best practices as recommended by (Kurwakumire and Kuzhazha, 2015). Best practices and lessons learnt from prior implementations should be the backbone and flagship of such an initiative to ensure a high probability for successful implementation.…”

“…Lemmen (2017) shows that the decentralization of transaction roles in the UML diagrams makes the process faster. It depends on the nature of the chain of the activity diagram of the organizatio n, transaction time and cost involved in the process (Kurwakumire & Kuzhazha, 2015).…”

Land registration processes have been described to be simplistic in simple land tenure environments where land rights are treasured and registered by the state on behalf of the people. Duplication of tasks, repeated preparation of land registration documents, and wrong definition of tasks affect the activities and processes of land registration characterising complex land tenure environments. Many qualitative land registration models such as the use of Unified Modified Language (UML) diagrams have been developed to show the frameworks of land registration processes in most parts of the world. However, most researches avoid the technical implementation of these models. This paper presents the quantitative approaches to addressing the problems of land registration processes in complex land tenure systems using computational techniques such as Process Maker and Java Script. The paper used case study approach to collect data and systems design method for the output. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from the Lands Commission of Accra and its stakeholders. Process maker software was operationalised using GeoJSON parcel file. Results show that, the simplification of land registration processes is based on the rationale behind the change (Data error, improved capacity, service quality), and the semantics (process re-engineering) involved in the computation of the modelling processes. The outcome has the ability to simplify an otherwise complex tenure system by avoiding delays and therefore improving the land registration processes.
