Cadastre: Geo-Information Innovations in Land Administration


Book Description

This book highlights the latest improvements in cadastre with examples and case studies from various parts of the world. Authors from different continents, in association with national and international organizations and societies, present the most comprehensive forum to date for cadastre, offering a broad overview of land administration and contemporary perspectives on current research and developments, including surveying, land management, remote sensing and geo-information sciences. Cadastre is a universal concept and is defined as “the work of officially mapping and systemically registering the areas, borders and values of all kinds of land and property”. It is normally a parcel-based and up-to-date land information system containing a record of interests in land with rights, restrictions and responsibilities. It may be established for fiscal and legal purposes, to assist in management for better planning and other administrative purposes, and to enable sustainable development and environmental protection. As such, “cadastre” is an important public inventory documenting the records of ownership, bordering and responsibility regarding the land with “title deeds” to parcels and answering the questions of “whose land, where and how much”. The materials included in the book can support courses at universities and related training institutions worldwide, and will greatly improve readers’ understanding of the scholarly fields involved in cadastre: land registration and management, surveying and mapping, and geo-information management, land governance, land taxation and public administration etc.

Land Administration for Sustainable Development


Book Description

Through its presentation of a holistic view of land management for sustainable development, this text outlines basic principles of land administration applicable to all countries and their divergent needs.







Remote Sensing for Land Administration


Book Description

What is land? Who owns it? Who can use it? How much is it worth? What can it be used for? These are the questions land administration seeks to answer responsibly, which requires trustworthy people, transparent processes, and reliable information systems. Spatial information is an essential ingredient, and is embedded in the cadastral plans, maps, and land registry records that are used to prove ownership, trade land, access credit, resolve land disputes, enable fair taxation, and support land use planning and development. In the past, ground-based surveying techniques were used to capture the information, however, advances in remote sensing are driving the development of approaches that are faster, lower in cost, more accurate, or more participatory. These can be used to build land administration systems that better support poverty reduction, rapid urbanization, vertical development, and complex infrastructure management. The contributions contained in this book unpack these developments and the potential impacts and explore applications of high-resolution satellite imagery, unmanned aerial vehicle imagery, laser scanning, airborne and terrestrial (LiDAR), machine learning, and artificial intelligence methods, as applied to land administration in parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
