Comparative Analysis of Geospatial Technology Adoption in Land Surveying Practices Among Small-Scale Farmers in Ethiopia and Kenya

Evaluates geospatial tech impact on land surveying

Undergraduate PGD Masters PhD

Overview

Geospatial technology has revolutionized land surveying practices globally, offering unprecedented precision and efficiency. The adoption of geospatial technology in land surveying is particularly significant for small-scale farmers in developing countries, where land ownership and boundaries are often not well-defined. Ethiopia and Kenya, two major agricultural countries in Africa, have seen a surge in the use of geospatial technology in recent years. However, there is a dearth of research on the comparative analysis of geospatial technology adoption in land surveying practices among small-scale farmers in these countries. This study aims to fill this research gap by exploring the current state of geospatial technology adoption in land surveying practices among small-scale farmers in Ethiopia and Kenya. The significance of this study lies in its potential to inform policy and practice on the effective use of geospatial technology in land surveying for small-scale farmers. With the increasing demand for food production and the need for sustainable agricultural practices, the role of geospatial technology in land surveying cannot be overstated. This study will provide insights into the benefits and challenges of adopting geospatial technology in land surveying practices among small-scale farmers in Ethiopia and Kenya, contributing to the body of knowledge in this area. Furthermore, the study will examine the impact of geospatial technology on land surveying practices, including its effects on land ownership, boundary disputes, and agricultural productivity. The findings of this study will have implications for policymakers, practitioners, and small-scale farmers in Ethiopia and Kenya, as well as other developing countries.

Background

The adoption of geospatial technology in land surveying practices has been influenced by various factors, including the availability of technology, cost, and awareness. Theoretical frameworks such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory have been used to explain the adoption of geospatial technology in various contexts. However, there is a need to explore the specific factors that influence the adoption of geospatial technology in land surveying practices among small-scale farmers in Ethiopia and Kenya. Previous studies have shown that geospatial technology can improve the accuracy and efficiency of land surveying practices, but there is a lack of research on the comparative analysis of geospatial technology adoption in land surveying practices among small-scale farmers in different countries. This study will draw on the existing literature on geospatial technology adoption and land surveying practices to inform its methodology and analysis. The study will also examine the role of government policies and initiatives in promoting the adoption of geospatial technology in land surveying practices among small-scale farmers. Moreover, the study will investigate the impact of geospatial technology on the livelihoods of small-scale farmers, including its effects on their income, food security, and well-being.

Research Problem

Despite the potential benefits of geospatial technology in land surveying practices, there is a significant gap in research on the comparative analysis of geospatial technology adoption in land surveying practices among small-scale farmers in Ethiopia and Kenya. The lack of research in this area hinders the development of effective policies and practices to promote the adoption of geospatial technology in land surveying practices among small-scale farmers. Furthermore, the absence of comparative analysis of geospatial technology adoption in land surveying practices among small-scale farmers in different countries limits our understanding of the factors that influence the adoption of geospatial technology in land surveying practices. This study aims to address this research gap by exploring the current state of geospatial technology adoption in land surveying practices among small-scale farmers in Ethiopia and Kenya. The central research question guiding this study is: What are the factors that influence the adoption of geospatial technology in land surveying practices among small-scale farmers in Ethiopia and Kenya, and how does the adoption of geospatial technology impact their livelihoods?
