PRESENTATION OUTLINE


LIS- a geographic information system for cadastral and land-use mapping, typically used by local governments

Consists of land records and associated attributes as well as spatial information

Land record: includes resource, land use, environmental impact, and fiscal data.

Basically deals with legal boundaries of land tenure

Provides base layer capable of integration into other geographic systems

Makes easy to retrieve, create, update, store, view, analyze and publish land information.

INTRODUCTION

Components of LIS

A typical LIS uses cadastre as a primary document.

Two basic components of LIS :

1. Spatial data: Data related to the location or the position of an object in space or Geographic data or data in graphical form e.g.map

2. Non spatial data: Data which describes the spatial data e.g. Field books, plot registers, moth, srestha etc

CONTD…


Parcel Based LIS:

based on the land parcel

Land parcels are considered as key

features

CONTD…


Guarantee of land ownership and security of tenure

Support for land and property taxation

Develop and monitor land markets

Reduce land disputes

Facilitate rural land reform

Improve urban planning and infrastructure development

Support environmental management

WHY LIS?


Western LIS Concept:

Cadastral systems first developed in Europe to support taxation.

Also used for managing and controlling population

Close linkage between title registration and land ownership

Moving towards the development of active land market and use of bank finance for

mortgage to support land market

Multipurpose role of Cadastral system

record all dealings that affect the ownership of land. Eg: ownership, limited rights,

land value, zoning etc.

Parcel as the basic organizational unit

BACKGROUND


CONTD…

Dutch cadastre system

The web enabled parcel based system

Pre modelled database ISO standard

Capable to handle spatial and attribute in a web browsers

Web based query facility

Login facility for data security

Deed submission and automated deed verification system by using XML codes

Online verification facility


LIS in Nepal

First introduced in 8th periodic plan by government

Project established under MOLRM and started work from Bhaktapur district

Software designed to acquire non spatial data

Separate Department, DOLIA established in 2057 by merging two components, LIS project in MoLRM and Archieve Section in SD

New software designed named DLIS to manage non spatial data

CONTD…


Lack of clear strategy for building, operating and maintaining LIS

Legislative framework not developed for DOLIA regarding its activities

Existing data source-poor quality

Lack of managerial as well as technical experience at all the levels

Insufficient human, financial and physical resources

PROBLEMS


Literature Review

Maintenance of LIS

Geodetic/Geographic control framework:

LIS starts with spatial reference framework.

Linkage between coordinate system and legal system

Involves recovering, remonumenting, measuring, reference points used in property description

Conversion -- legal description to mathematical coordinates

digitizing existing maps (e.g., tax parcel maps)

new coverage - coordinate geometry from deed descriptions

orthophoto or ground survey

METHODOLOGY


Data Quality

Depends upon source material

Eg: Existing maps, deeds description

cartographic products

occupation boundaries may be different than deed boundaries- resurvey

accuracy should be commensurate with requirements of application

Maintenance of dynamic layer

Transactional updates -accommodate constant changes and maintain historical records

System needs to move changes in data from entry point (e.g., survey/revenue/LIS office) to all others using land records.

CONTD…


Access and use

data base design is common approach to allow access throughout organization

information products - many different needs must be accommodated

requirement of data depends upon the users. Transparency on data is maintained

according to level of users for eg, read only access to database for public.

CONTD…


Institutions Offices directly involved and having very important role in LIS in Nepal DOS: Involved in producing Cadastral data

DOLRM: Involved in land administrations, daily transactions and updating all land related attribute data

DOLIA: in creating LIS in Nepal and archieving land records.

LMTC: Producing human resource for land management activities in Nepal

Stakeholders Department of Road, Department of physical planning and construction, Department of Agriculture,

Department of Irrigation, Department of Forest, Nepal Telecom, Nepal electricity Authority etc

make use of it in their program and activities

FINDINGS


CONTD…


District Survey Offices Cadastral map in 29 different survey offices has been digitized and prepared geo-database

Jhapa Chandragadhi, Jhapa Damak, Sunsari, Morang-Biratnagar, Morang-Belbari, Kathmandu-Kalanki, Kathmandu-Dillibazaar, Kathmandu-Chabhil, Bhaktapur, Lalitapur, Dhanusha, Sarlahi, Synja, Dhading, Parbat, Nabalparasi-Parasi, Nabalparasi-Kawaswoti, Rupandehi, Dang, Banke, Bardiya, Surkhet, Kailali-Dhangadhi, Kailali-Tikapur, Pokhara, Kaski and Chitwan

The cadastral maps of 25 other survey offices will be digitized by the end of this fiscal year 068/69.

LA - heavily loaded administrative sector of Nepal

DOLIA is working with very limited human and non-human resources,

However it has completed to establish computerized land information system.

Present status of LIS shows that Cadastre vision 2014 is impossible to achieve

Complete legal situation of land, including public rights and restrictions

The Cadastral mapping will be dead, long live modeling

‘Paper and pencil – cadastre’ will have gone

Public and private sector will work closely together

Cadastre 2014 will be cost recovering

CHALLENGES


Very much challenging for our country to fulfill Cadastre vision 2034.

Move from approximate boundary representation towards survey-accurate boundary representation

Focus shift from purely parcel-based systems towards systems of layered property objects

Expansion from 2D approaches to include the third (height) and fourth (time) dimensions

Updating and accessing of cadastral information in real time

Making national and state-based cadasters interoperable at regional and global levels

CONTD…


Clear long term vision and policy

Suitable Organizational structure

Human Resource Development

Cooperation among the stakeholder
