Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify factors that affect the residential land market value in Injibara town. This study follows a quantitative research approach. The number of participants was 384, and structured questionnaires were used to gather the data. Descriptive statistics and regression were used to analyse the data. The finding indicates that access to infrastructure affects the residential land market value highly; the location of the land also affects the residential land market value next to the infrastructure; and population growth affects the residential land market value next to the location of the land and the access to infrastructure. The hypothesis proposed in this study; the urban population of the town significantly affects the residential land market value, the residential land location of the residential land significantly affects the residential land's market value and infrastructures significantly affect the residential land market value are supported by the study regression output. In the future, the mayor of the town, the administrative unit and other stakeholders better consider the city's population growth, and building quality infrastructures will have significant importance for the market value of the residential land and to enhance the quality of life for the residences.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
