Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the utilization of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology for effective property management in urban areas. The rapid urbanization and increasing population density in cities have led to complex challenges in managing properties efficiently. GIS technology offers a powerful tool for spatial data analysis, visualization, and decision-making, making it a valuable asset in addressing these challenges. This study aims to investigate the application of GIS technology in property management, with a focus on urban areas. The introduction provides a background to the study, highlighting the significance of effective property management in urban areas and the role of GIS technology in addressing related challenges. The problem statement identifies the existing gaps and limitations in current property management practices, underscoring the need for innovative solutions. The objectives of the study are outlined to guide the research process and achieve the desired outcomes. The literature review delves into existing research and studies on GIS technology, property management, and urban planning. It explores the benefits and challenges of integrating GIS technology into property management practices, highlighting best practices and success stories from various urban areas worldwide. The research methodology section describes the approach taken to conduct the study, including data collection methods, analysis techniques, and tools used for GIS implementation. The chapter outlines the research design, sampling strategy, data sources, and ethical considerations to ensure the validity and reliability of the study findings. The findings chapter presents a detailed analysis of the data collected and the outcomes of the study. It discusses how GIS technology has been applied to property management in urban areas, showcasing case studies and examples of successful implementation. The chapter also explores the challenges and limitations encountered during the research process and proposes recommendations for future research and practice. In conclusion, this thesis summarizes the key findings, implications, and contributions to the field of property management in urban areas through the utilization of GIS technology. It reflects on the significance of the study in addressing current challenges and opportunities for further research and innovation in the field. Overall, this study underscores the importance of leveraging GIS technology for effective property management in urban areas to enhance decision-making, planning, and sustainable development.
