Is VGI an Alternative Model for Gathering and Maintaining Cadastral Data?

One of the key challenges facing the development of infra¬structure in India is the acquisition of land. Landowner¬ship confers tangible benefits such as shelter and liveli-hood, as well as intangible benefits such as security and a stand¬ing in society. Landowners are thus often reluctant to part with their land unless mutually acceptable terms including compensation are agreed upon. Problems arise when land is required for “pub¬lic purpose” and the state can invoke laws that allow for com¬pulsory acquisition through ‘eminent domain’ . Often, the land acquisition process is neither consultative nor transparent. Further, land-titles are unclear and identifying parties eligible for compensation is rendered difficult. Finally, the compensa¬tion, and resettlement and

GIS is a computerized integrated data management system used to analyze and present geographical and spatial data.10 GIS has been used

Being one of the most extensive law reforms of the Law Commission, Land Registration Act 2002 aims to create a flawless legal framework for land registration, especially in terms of conveyancing with emphasis on overriding interests and adverse possession. It is agreed that the Land Registration Act 2002 (hereafter LRA 2002), by putting emphasis on strict registration, moved the idea of land ownership from ownership by possession to bureaucratization of title via registration. Therefore, LRA 2002 is said to bring further strictness and clarity to land ownership and subsequent conveyancing. In conjunction, LRA 2002 was expected to bring an “e-conveyancing revolution” to land registration which was awaited to be a major success. Although steps are taken towards this development, it is claimed that there is still long way to go before a complete and problem-free e-conveyancing system. Apart from matters relating to conveyancing, LRA 2002 consists of sections regarding overriding interests where their number and scope are widely reduced with specifications of registration introduced. Moreover, the Act includes strictly drafted provisions about adverse possession, aiming to bring further restrictions to this matter by bringing further difficulties to the acquisition of title and therefore shifting from a squatter prone approach to a registered owner supporting view.

Thus, many might be thinking that how such a vast data is collected or mined. It is only possible with the help of numerous land based surveys. Some of you may not know that profession of land survey is regarded as the world’s second oldest profession. Thus, land survey is basically known as the art and science of measuring and mapping land that helps in collecting the data for the land that has been used. Thus, in this way modern maps changes and shapes our modern world in this

The imprint that agriculture makes on the cultural landscape is as you look from the West Coast of the United States to the East Coast you would see green circles standing out in arid regions of the country are places where center- pivot irrigation systems circle around a pivot, providing irrigation to a circle of crops. Then you can also see a checkerboard pattern on the landscape that reflects the pattern of land ownership in much of the country. Three main Cadastral systems, the method of land survey through which land ownership and property lines are defined, include township and range system, metes and bounds and the longlot survey system. Township and range system divides land into a series of rectangular parcels. The land was bought and sold in a gridlike pattern on the land in whole, half, or quarter sections. Metes and bounds survey system uses natural features are used to demarcate irregular parcels of lands. Long- lot survey system divides land into narrow parcels stretching back from rivers, roads, or canals.

This project discusses the importance of land surveying and how it has changed over time. It takes a look at the Metes and Bounds system, the Congressional/Jeffersonian system, and offshore system. Each of these systems has changed over time and is still important to the development of land surveying. This project also discusses how data is used to create land-surveying maps and where to find data. This project analyzes the data that is used with land surveying and has two maps to show how the data can be used to create maps.

Scheduling of policy frame work and decision of rules to regulate administrate are mapped and designed for development work in land use planning where as in spatial planning its identifying key areas of change inclusive development of all functional areas. But at the time of implementation of the same it’s the authorities and regional body for allocation of

Specifically, the study was benefit Jinka town municipality and other development actors by providing them adequate information on factors affecting the legal urban land supply system; the advantages and disadvantage of urban land delivery system for housing development and effects of urban land delivery system for housing development. In addition to this, it may attract local government body to plan and implement the recommended solution for the problems of current land delivery system for housing development. Furthermore, the study could serve as a stepping-stone for academicians and consultants who may be focusing on similar topics and issues in town

Ownership on land has been established by inheritance or title deed following mutation and other relevant process. Survey and settlement one of the important process to establish occupancy rights on land. Survey and settlement works usually done by deploying temporally staff. Most of the cases they are involved in massive corruption which are causes of suffering and deprivation from land assets. Case study sixteen has been written on that issue with the title “Tossedd Khan: Corruption in Survey and Settlement”.

According to 36(3) article of Act of 6 July 1982 on Land and Mortgage Registers “The performance of relevant acts connected with the keeping of the land and mortgage registers in the central land and mortgage registers ' data base shall belong to district courts whose task is to set up and keep land and mortgage registers in the information technology system.”

The online technology is expanding day by day. Real estate industry is that one where the information is required to make the deals. In the traditional times, the agents were the source of information and their role was very prominent. Now, people have started making transactions through online web portals which list and displays properties online. Even today, due to the lack of infrastructure, norms, government permissions and funds etc. only the half

The main purpose of the system of registration was to eliminate the need of reliance on the title deeds as they include the official register in the registration system which records the details of each part of land. This official register provides the probable buyer of land with the correct record, pertinent to that piece of land, the analysis will show the reasons behind the superiority of the registered regime, but it need to be measured if the regime for the registered land has resolved the main issues for which it was introduced.

Goal of this paper is to present an overview of major Free Open Source Software (FOSS) and Proprietary Software (PS) available in Geographical Information System (GIS) domain for remote sensing. Though movement of FOSS has impacted the information technology from all aspects, it was not well adopted in GIS domain due to full integration of GIS resources and user-friendly guidance shortage. This paper will provide a list of FOSS remote sensing packages with a basic introduction [7].

For example, GIS can be used to study data about weather reporting or urban planning and for studying demographics and geological change (Alibrandi, 2003).Multiple studies, worldwide, have explored the benefits GIS provides for both learning and teaching in secondary schools. From this, it can be discerned that one key benefit of GIS is that it allows the student to create output data that may have been very difficult and time consuming to create manually (NRC, 2006). After asking geographical questions and inputting data, an almost instant response can be gauged when using GIS, meaning that without extending the time it takes to complete a certain project, higher level analysis can be carried out (Warner &Kerski, 2004).At a university level, GIS has evidently been used for different disciplines, especially geography, but its incorporation into secondary school education has only been seen since the beginning of the 1990s (Goodchild and Kemp, 1990).
