The infrastructure services sector in Tanzania grapples with substantial challenges, particularly in the realm of road maintenance planning. A significant concern is the lack of alignment between the engineered road widths by TARURA's engineers and the actual available land space, a discrepancy attributed to the existence of Approved Survey Plans (ASP) and Town Planning Drawings (TPD) from the Ministry of Lands. This disconnect underscores the urgent need for a more integrated approach to infrastructure planning and management. To address this issue, the study adopted a cross-sectional research design with a specific focus on the Kinondoni district. The selection of Kinondoni district as the study area was driven by the extensive infrastructure networks that intersect roads, demanding frequent maintenance and significantly affecting the availability of vital services such as water and electricity. The study employed a combination of primary and secondary data collection methods, utilizing questionnaires for primary data and personal observations and the review of technical and operational reports, historical data, and action plans for secondary data. The collected data underwent rigorous analysis employing sophisticated tools such as SPSS 26 and Microsoft Excel. This analysis aimed to identify the specific infrastructure services that exert an influence on road maintenance planning within Kinondoni district, ultimately contributing to the development of an integrated system for infrastructure management. The study involved 54 respondents, including engineers, technicians, accountants, personal secretaries, and artisans, all of whom play pivotal roles in infrastructure services. Notably, the response rate for the study was an impressive 100%. The respondents were selected from the staff at TARURA using purposive sampling techniques, leading to a well-balanced demographic distribution with 66.7% male and 33.3% female participants. In terms of age groups, respondents represented various categories, with the largest group falling within the 31-40 years range, constituting 55.6% of the participants. Additionally, the respondents were categorized into three designations: Engineers (13.0%), Technicians (50.0%), and Surveyors (37.0%). Key factors such as electric poles, buildings, wall facades, and approved survey plans emerged as highly significant, warranting priority attention within the Integrated Computerized Management System (ICMS) development process.
