SMART LAND GOVERNANCE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA ADEYINKA, Rukayat Bewaji Context and background: This study explored the relevance of smart land governance (SLG) for sustainable development in Nigeria. Generally, land governance plays a critical role in land accessibility, security, economic growth, social equity, and environmental preservation. In fairness, Nigeria has recorded numerous successes in the land governance system. Yet, various deficiencies in the land sector are yet to be addressed, disrupting the system effectiveness. These deficiencies impose insecurity on stakeholders while gradually depreciating national values. Reforming the land sector in a smart way is a recent practice that addresses land governance deficiencies using newly developed technological innovations, which are important to accomplish traditional, political, and social goals. This helps to create an inclusive society through equal and accessible land distribution by reshaping policy instruments, financing mechanisms, rules, protocols, and guidelines that govern land matters using technology tools for sustainable development to prevent harm from the present and future generations. Goal and Objectives: The relevance of smart land governance (SLG) in the study area was examined to enhance stakeholders’ proper decision-making in the land sector to promote sustainable development in Nigeria. The objectives examined; a. how smart land governance could enhance the proper decision making of stakeholders in the land sector; b. the ways smart land governance could promote sustainable development for the present and future generations in Nigeria; and c. develop a framework that could enhance smart land governance. Methodology: The study used quantitative research methods to obtain meaningful and useful information. Purposive, systematic, and stratified research sampling techniques, i.e., mixed methods of data collection and analysis, were used. Primary and secondary data were sourced. 120 questionnaires were distributed, and 108 were retrieved. Key stakeholders who are in strategic positions in both the formal and informal land sector were surveyed. Results: The study revealed that smart land governance (SLG) system in Nigeria is possible but require full stakeholder support to maximize their workability and effectiveness, as it will promote transparency and boast an inclusive society for the benefit of present and future generations. Also, an insight into the benefits of smart land governance (SLG) was presented. A framework to enhance stakeholder and policy-maker decision-making was developed. Hence, it was concluded that an investment in advanced technological implements is necessary to stimulate strategic principles with respect to the principal multidimensional mechanisms of SLG.

FRAMEWORK FOR INVESTIGATING CONTRACTOR SELECTION DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS’ (CS-DSS) ACCEPTANCE BY PUBLIC PROCUREMENT PERSONNEL GANDU, Yususf J. Laboratory-based designs of contractor selection decision support systems (CS-DSSs) are common in construction management research. However, target end-users like the public procurement entities do not usually make use of these ubiquitous technologies in practice, in spite of their enormous potentials. The absence of reliable framework for investigating technology adoption in public procurement has continued to impede the possibilities of investigating the acceptance of such technologies. The present study aims at developing a framework for investigating CS-DSS acceptance for the smallest decision making unit in public procurement. The structure of a novel theoretical techno psychological framework for investigating CS-DSS acceptance in Nigerian public procurement is presented in this paper through the lens of an extended innovation diffusion theory - technology acceptance model (IDT-TAM). From an individual level remit (micro-level), a strategic review of literature was followed by a Delphi survey of carefully selected 18-number procurement experts in Nigeria. The study shows that the prescriptions of CS-DSSs by researchers can be supported by a foresight on the end-user behavioral intension to use such technologies. Operationalization of the framework with empirical data can model the acceptance behavior of procurement personnel on CS-DSSs before they are adopted at the organizational or strategic level for enhanced contractor selection in public procurement. The emerging framework is recommended for designers of CS-DSS for articulating the antecedent behavior of public procurement personnel.
