Abstract : This study is part of an approach to improving land management in a city. Its main objective is to develop and implement an innovative digital application capable of facilitating the management, archiving and consultation of real estate titles. The problem of this research lies in the difficulties encountered by the Real Estate Titles Division in effectively managing land files due to the lack of a suitable digital tool. Land conflicts, due in particular to land fragmentation and fraud, are frequent and complicate the situation. In order to address this issue, we formulated the hypothesis that a technological solution integrating geolocation and web- mapping could optimize the process of allocating land titles. To validate this hypothesis, we conducted a field study combining documentary techniques, interviews and direct observations. This study allowed us to identify the specific needs of users and to design an application that meets the challenges of land management in a non-urbanized city. The methodology used is based on the UP approach for system design and on the structural-functional approach for the analysis of the existing system. These methods made it possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the current system and to define the functional specifications of the new system. The results of this study are very encouraging. The application developed has demonstrated its ability to efficiently manage land titles, improve productivity and reduce the risk of errors. It also offers greater transparency in the management of land files. In the end, this study allowed to develop an innovative and efficient digital solution for the management of real estate titles in a non-urbanized city. The results obtained open up interesting perspectives for the modernization of land management in a region.
