摘要

This study explores the transformation of land surveying in Tanzania into the broader disciplines of geomatics and geospatial science, while examining the challenges posed by the National Council of Professional Surveyors (NCPS) registration system under the outdated 1977 regulatory framework. Key barriers include centralized governance, administrative inefficiencies, and a lack of recognition for modern geospatial competencies. The study highlights the mismatch between academic curricula and professional requirements, and proposes for inclusive governance, policy reform, and integration of digital geospatial tools to modernize the NCPS registration process. Drawing from global best practices, it offers strategic recommendations to modernize the NCPS and align its registration requirements and system with current land administration needs.
