The current challenges for land administration What issues are the driving changes to our existing systems

Challenge: Administering complex land markets Land markets are layered: simple markets are accompanied by.Land markets are layered: simple markets are accompanied by complex commodity markets.

Computers and their possibilities…. Applying new ICT and spatial technologies to land administration

Technology and land administration… so far

The new technologies Computers can: Recognise the place where things happen – the magic of geocoding and location-aware computing Relate the computer place with actual “on the ground” – surveying and mapping Add information or attributes to the place Share information Computers can: Recognise the place where things happen – the magic of geocoding and location-aware computing Relate the computer place with actual “on the ground” – surveying and mapping Add information or attributes to the place Share information

GIS data sets - Small scale data - Natural environment data - Topographic data - ImageryCadastral data sets - Large scale - Parcel and property - Point and lines -Data verified on-ground - People friendly Basic spatial tools in iLand are merging How do we achieve integration? Meanwhile there is a growing body of place information…

Bringing it all together… Using place and spatial tools to organize government information according to location

The guiding principle… Only 5% of people know how to really use and create spatial information. spatial information. Lets use the base information and infrastructures these people have built to organize the other activities of government Only 5% of people know how to really use and create spatial information. spatial information. Lets use the base information and infrastructures these people have built to organize the other activities of government

Benefits of iLand 1. 1.Spatial information systems deliver more – searching, analyzing, decision making 2. 2.Technical information is converted to people friendly information Costs of government are reduced Effectiveness of regulation and efficacy of tax systems improve Silo’s are broken down (slowly) 1. 1.Spatial information systems deliver more – searching, analyzing, decision making 2. 2.Technical information is converted to people friendly information Costs of government are reduced Effectiveness of regulation and efficacy of tax systems improve Silo’s are broken down (slowly)
