Cadastral surveys in Zanzibar provide important information about land parcels, boundaries, and sizes, which helps in land management and decision-making. This information is used for land allocation, property valuation, reducing disputes, and assessing land taxes. It also allows landowners to use their land as collateral for loans. However, the cost of surveys is high, making it difficult for many people to afford. Improving survey methods could make the process quicker and cheaper, benefiting both individuals and the economy.
