Land Information System (LIS): Case Study of Berry Court Estate, Olowora Phase 2, Omole, Kosofe Local Government Area, Lagos State.

In many developing regions, such as Lagos State, Nigeria, land administration is often hindered by inefficiencies in data management, outdated record-keeping, and limited decision-support tools for land use planning and estate management. This study addresses the lack of a structured, digital Land Information System (LIS) for Berry Court Estate, Olowora Phase 2, Omole, located within Kosofe Local Government Area. The primary objective is to design and implement a parcelbased LIS that integrates spatial and non-spatial data for enhanced estate management, ownership verification, security tracking, and land valuation. A mixed-method approach was employed, involving data acquisition from estate management, spatial data processing, geodatabase creation, and digitization using ArcMap 10.4 and MySQL. The resulting LIS supports robust multi-criteria querying, enabling users to retrieve detailed information about plot allocation, land ownership, allottee demographics, and payment status. The system demonstrated its capacity to improve data accuracy, decision-making, and operational efficiency within the estate. It also facilitates transparency and enhances security by integrating personal allottee data with geospatial features. This research provides a replicable model for other residential estates in Nigeria and similar urban contexts seeking digital transformation in land administration.
