Abstract
The study examined the effectiveness of a community-operated land record system (CRS),
a product of an evolutionary information system planning approach under hybrid governance
arrangements in Monwabisi Park informal settlement in Cape Town. To structure the analysis, the
authors adapted an analytical framework for analysing land registration effectiveness to community
records systems. It serves as a tool for analysing, designing and managing similar information
systems. The CRS is an element of a participatory planning and development project involving a triad:
(a) community-based organisations (CBOs); (b) a non-governmental organisation (NGO), which has
acted as a change agent, facilitator and resource provider; and (c) the City of Cape Town. The hybrid
governance institutions comprised a set of local community and government protocols. Of further
significance are the organisational cultures of the CBOs, and the NGO’s information system team
differs markedly from that of most land registries.
