DESIGN
AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERISED POPULATION CENSUS MONITORING SYSTEM
A CASE STUDY OF
NATIONAL POPULATION COMMISSION
ABSTRACT
The purpose of the
study was to design and implement a computer- based population monitoring
system for Enugu State.
The researcher critically analyzed the existing census system to sort out the
bottlenecks hindering the effective census computation. He went further to
design the new system which is capable of solving the census problem within a
twinkle of an eye using the computerized identity card.
Above all, he crowned his ability by writing a well tested program which is
capable of calculating the zone, printing out the total of each local
government area with the largest and the smallest population.

CHAPTER ONE
THE PROBLEM AND ITS
SETTING
INTRODUCTION
Population census is a total process of
collecting, compiling and publishing demographic economic and social data
pertaining at a special time, to all persons in a state or country (United
Nation, 1958). It is essential to note that census does not mean just counting
the number of people, but collecting a whole range of demographic economic and
social statistics.
The census process may take three forms ie. The manual, the computerized and
the semi-computerized process. The manual process is the movement of
enumeration from house to house, street to street and even town to town
counting people. The acquired data are summarized or summed up manually to give
the actual census. The computerized process is just the issuing of identity
card and computer numbers. Each card contains marital status, state of origin,
ages sex, occupation etc. each time census is to be taken, the information on
these cards are slotted into the computer and computed without moving from
house to house.
The semi-computerized process is the
combination of the manual and computerized process. Information is acquired
manually by moving from house to house and data acquired is then added up using
the computerized method. This method is recently employed by the National
population census in Nigeria. This was used during the 1991 census.
The emphasis on this study computerized population monitoring census system of
Enugu state is on the semi-computerized and computerized process. The onset of
technological revolution proved the need for employing scientific and
technological device to most aspects of human activities.
The absolute manual process of census computation practices in those days gave
rise to unreliable, insufficient and approximate figures. This researcher’s
belief is already given way to a more sufficient trusted mechanized process of
collecting and computing satisfied data.
THE STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
Population census in developed
countries are often perfectly computed and documented more than in developing
countries. The reason for their perfection are not far fetched. They have
machines such as population clock, good management, capital and trained
personnel’s. The biggest problem facing the national population commission
(NPC) are those of the technological enhancement. The level of computer
application to demographical purpose is very low. Most of these problems
emanated from the fact that there is lack of management, funds, trained
personnel and people beliefs. Census programme cannot be discussed without
examining the thinking of the management or the type of leadership existing in
the commission. Also the financial stand and people’s reaction towards census
issues contributed greatly to efficiency and effectiveness in census
computation.
THE PURPOSE OF THE
STUDY
The purpose of the study, was to design
and implement the computer population census monitoring system for Enugu State.
It will be possible to see to what extent the computerized population census
monitoring system of Enugu State can solve the problem of undependable data
computation, approximation of census figures and monitoring.
Another purpose is to see how
computerized population monitoring census system in Enugu State is enhanced by
computer. The issue of 10 years census interval which is meant for computing
and documenting the demographical data, will now be reduced to 3 to 5 years
interval. Since the computer-based census system will only take months to
obtain, compute and document the demographic data.
Also this study in completion, will serve as a step forward towards the
technological advancement in census computation and monitoring.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES.
The objectives of this study is to
bring to focus the need and importance of computer application to demographical
cases. The study will also highlight what changes are necessary in the method
and process of census computation and whether there is alternative approach to
indicate citizen identify. In the final analysis, the study will contribute
towards formulating meaningful goals and maximization of investment in National
population commission, to encourage efficiency and accuracy.
THE SCOPE OF THE
STUDY
The researcher is limited to the study
of computerized population census monitoring system of Enugu State (What it is
and what it will be in future). The study is limited to the information
acquired from Enugu State National population commission (N.P.C). Enugu state
being a young state and experiencing only one census (1991 census) more
information were gathered from the write ups of the past census in Nigeria to
back up the study since Enugu State is not different from the census strategy
of the nation.
THE ASSUMPTIONS
This research was carried out with the assumption of combating the cumbersome
work that might arise in dealing or handling census conducting and computation
inefficiencies. For this reason, the assumption reward was to design and
implement a computerized population census monitoring system with relevant
packages and software that are relevant to computerization of census figures to
arrest the difficulties involved in manual census
computation.
