MLR-Meeting

Land Administration

Land is

• immovable

• indestructible

• not expandable

Thus management of use necessary

LA provides the basic data

LA is designed to exist for centuries

MLR-Meeting

Governmental Processes Connected to LA

• Taxation

• Statistics for strategic planning

• Spatial planning

• Infrastructure planning/maintenance

MLR-Meeting

Requirements of Taxation

Land tax is guaranteed income (cannot be transferred to other countries)

• Complete coverage with reasonable quality (may vary!)

• Documentation of taxation criteria (value, productivity, etc.)

MLR-Meeting

Requirements for Strategic Planning

e.g.: Is the food supply for the population ensured?

• Data must be statistically reliable

• Relevant information for the questions must be covered

• Statistics must be possible for single districts and the whole country – conformity of design!

May 11 2012 Gerhard Navratilnavratil@geoinfo.tuwien.ac.at

MLR-Meeting

Requirements for Spatial Planning

Current land cover and land use as a starting point for planning

• Completeness of inventory

• Historic records (e.g., soil contamination)

• Reliability of attributes (area may be better for some uses than for others, e.g., wetlands for construction or recreation)

MLR-Meeting

Requirements for Infrastructure

Large scale mapping of infrastructure during planning, construction, and maintenance

• Suitable reference system and positional accuracy

• Sufficient detail

• Data on existing infrastructure

MLR-Meeting

Requirements of Citizens

Contact to LA in case of

• Payment of land tax (transparency)

• Acquisition of land (elimination of risk)

• Use of the land (security about the boundaries – high local accuracy)

MLR-Meeting

Requirements of Land Market

• Transparency

• Security/stability

• Reliable information (guarantee that the data are correct)

• Speed

MLR-Meeting

How to Meet the Requirements

• Decide which services to offer in which order

• Determine the requirements• Design the processes• Determine the necessary data quality• Implement a test case• Nation-wide implementationComplete the implementation!

MLR-Meeting

Conclusions

• Talk to the users – data collection is determined by the intended use

• Plan for a long implementation phase but finish the implementation

• Design an open system that can integrate new data and make use of new technologies
