Respondents had varying levels of experience with GIS projects, mostly involving system application development and infrastructure. Most projects were relatively small in budget. The study identified di erences between the research model and actual findings as follows, emphasizing the importance of GIS champions, adequate sta ng, and su cient training. To strengthen the analysis, factor analysis was employed, specifically using the Kaiser Criterion to identify significant factors. Introduced by Kaiser (1961), this technique determines factors based on eigenvalues, with eigenvalues greater than one indicating a significant factor. The results of the factor analysis, summarised in Table 4, reveal the factors identified based on their eigenvalues. 9 Demographic profiles and respondents' experiences were analysed to understand their backgrounds and involvement in GIS projects. Most respondents were project team leaders or responsible o cers, with a majority holding bachelor's degrees. Few had professional project management certifications.
