| dc.description.abstract | Land market has grown to be among the key mechanisms to acquire land for
industrialization. This is because; in a well functioning land market, it allocates land to
investors timely. This paper assesses the opportunities and challenges of land market for
industrial development in Tanzania. Specifically, it analyzes the implications of the
current land market practices on industrialization process in Iwambi, Ilemi, Tembela
and Uyole Wards. A sample of 387 respondents drawn from earlier mentioned Wards
was engaged in questionnaire’s survey. Other methods for data collection were Focus
Group Discussion (FGDs), and interviews which were used to enhance the analysis
through data gathered from other sources. As an opportunity for industrialization, land
market attracts investors as it provides a simplified and timely means of acquiring land,
can increase incentive for industrialization since land is used as factor of production
and can be used as collateral for credit acquisition. Notwithstanding these
opportunities; the nature and characteristics of urban land market in Tanzania
relinquish industrialization efforts. There is dominance of informality in land
transactions, unclear pricing and land ownership, limited surveyed land, and records on
land value. Other challenges are; high registration transaction costs, untimely services,
and too bureaucratic procedures. All these have even contributed to conversion of
industrial areas into residential areas in peri-urban areas. Remote Sensing and
Geographical Information System results illustrate that between 2005 and 2015, in
Uyole Ward, 8.42% of industrial areas and in Ilemi Ward, 0.2% was converted into
unplanned residential areas. This conversion reduces the industrial areas and affects
industrialization. The conclusion is therefore drawn that unless the challenges
characterizing land market are addressed, Tanzania industrialization will remain costly
and risks. | en_US |
