Strong national institutional arrangements in the geospatial information management are essential for successful implementation of sustainable land administration system. However, it is not only the existence of institutions but also their effectiveness that leads to the intended goals and reaching of objectives. There are international calls to merge highly related land administration institutions, yet Ethiopia executes two related land administration tasks (landholding right provision and cadastral registration) by two different institutions, the Urban Land Development and Management Bureau, and the Urban Land Adjudication and Information Registration Agency. Thus, the objective of this article is to analyze the effect of merging cadastral information registration and urban landholding right providing institutions lead to effective and strong national land institution. To achieve this, we had a qualitative approach analysis based on desk review and case study research methods. We conducted semi-structured interviews with the directors of the two institutions, and a group discussion with professional experts from both institutions. The findings of this study show that institutional merger between the two institutions believed to unravel the challenges of failing to achieve institutional goals. Although these institutions design strategic plans every year, the level of achievement or operational performance is low. The major cause for this problem is the poor coordination between the institutions. In view of this issue, we recommend merging the two institutions in one since it: reduces the effects of data duplication; provides one-window services; reduces operational costs; fills communication gaps among the staff; reduces time of operation; improves customer service; increases efficiency within processes; and provides a more efficient operation of land markets.

机构合并的影响分析：以埃塞俄比亚地籍信息注册和土地所有权提供机构为例

地理空间信息管理中强有力的国家机构安排对于成功实施可持续土地管理系统至关重要。但是，不仅机构的存在，而且机构的有效性也导致了预期的目标和目标的实现。有国际呼吁将高度相关的土地管理机构合并，但埃塞俄比亚由两个不同的机构，即城市土地开发和管理局以及城市土地裁决和信息登记局执行两项相关的土地管理任务（土地所有权提供和地籍注册） 。因此，本文的目的是分析将地籍信息注册与城市土地所有权提供机构合并产生有效而强大的国家土地机构的效果。为了实现这一目标，我们进行了基于案头审查和案例研究方法的定性方法分析。我们对两个机构的负责人进行了半结构化访谈，并与两个机构的专业专家进行了小组讨论。这项研究的结果表明，两个机构之间的机构合并可以消除未能实现机构目标的挑战。尽管这些机构每年都会设计战略计划，但是成就或运营绩效水平却很低。造成此问题的主要原因是机构之间的协调不力。鉴于此问题，我们建议将两个机构合并为一个，因为它可以：减少数据重复的影响；提供一站式服务；降低运营成本；填补员工之间的沟通空白；减少操作时间；改善客户服务；提高流程内的效率；并提供更有效的土地市场运作。
