Gaza Strip suffers from a lack of advanced techniques that help and support land registration such as GIS technology. The currently-used-system for land registration in the Gaza Strip is extremely traditional and not able to meet the increasing demand. Conflicts between data on maps and on ground are frequently faced and decisions relating to these problems cannot easily be made. Such an out of date system leads to difficulties in tracking and updating land owners and identifying the actual current owners. This research aims to suggest a new automatic land registration system in the Gaza Strip. Through a multi users unified database with identified access per each user, this new system will ease land registration for both Gaza citizens as well as the Palestinian Land Authority's (PLA) employees. A user-friendly web-based GIS tool is developed to accelerate the land registration process, in addition to providing a decision support system through easily managing and interpreting attribute and spatial data in a precise logical way. The aforementioned new developed tools will create and maintain an accurate, secure and comprehensive land registration system in the Gaza Strip.

The increasing demand on land in Palestine has been significantly increasing from time to time by the ever rapidly growing need of the human and livestock population. It may be  known that there are some troubles facing the decision makers regarding managing and utilizing the available data in some of the governmental organizations, especially in the Gaza Strip. In addition to, what the local residents in it are facing in identifying their land properties' borders and what the municipalities are facing regarding maps and drawings. Moreover, the Gaza Strip suffers from the lack of advanced techniques that may help and support land registration such as GIS technology. Palestinian Land Authority, PLA, in the Gaza Strip starts using GIS since 2007, and that is limited by the dealings that are being accomplished, as it is all about just drawing the piece of land and recording its owner's name, in addition to the basic data regarding to the land itself and its owner. This study aims to evaluate the currently-used system for land registry in the Gaza Strip. It is concluded that this system for land information, in general, and land registry, in particular, is extremely traditional and mainly paper based procedure. It is strongly recommended to be developed in order to reflect the changes occurred regarding land information management.

Land Titles

A proper land registration system, affording security of title at reasonable expense, is essential for the development of a dynamic and progressive economy. Such a system should indicate, quickly and cheaply, to interested persons what lands are being dealt with in any proposed transaction and what legal interests exist in those lands. The present registry system in Nova Scotia does not provide this information readily. The remedy appears to lie in adopting a Torrens system of land titles similar to that which has already proven itself in the western provinces of Canada. The basic advantages of the Torrens system over the registry system are enumerated.

DEEDS REGISTRATION AND TITLE REGISTRATION: MODEL SOLUTIONS CONCERNING LAND REGISTRIES IN THE COMMON LAW SYSTEMSummary The aim of this article is to present the two main land registration models in the common law countries, i.e. deeds recordation and title registration, taking into account the broader historical perspective indicating their origins, evolution and developments, as well as the current state of legal regulations in the field of registration of interest in land. The system of deeds recordation is characterized on the basis of regulations adopted in the vast majority of the US states, whereas the title registration model is presented against the background of the Torrens system, the origins of which date back to 19th-century Australian legislation. From Australia this particular land registration system spread to other continents. A comparison is carried out of the two systems, taking into account their advantages and disadvantages, and the reasons for the global success of the title registration model are indicated. On the grounds of the regulations adopted in Scotland and the Republic of South Africa the author makes also an attempt to characterize the mixed systems, which are generally based on the deeds recordation model but emploi some solutions typical for the title registration system. Concluding the article, the author tries to indicate the particular characteristics of title registration model which could be a source of inspiration for the potential optimization of the Polish land registry system.

Property Registration

Land and interests in land have traditionally been man’s most basic forms of wealth. As a result, many elaborate legal systems have evolved to protect this wealth and the rights associated with it. This has led to the establishment of the most recognized land registration systems, namely the title registration system (known as the Torrens system) and the deeds registration system. Both of these systems provide owners of land and lenders with protection regarding property ownership and financial interests in land. South Africa has chosen to adopt the deeds registration system with some elements of the title registration system. This system is hailed as among the best in the world, simply because the validity of ownership and interests in land are the responsibilities of conveyancing practitioners and land registration officials. However, such protection is not fully guaranteed. This paper discusses the possibility of introducing title insurance – a form of indemnity insurance which insures a person against financial loss from defects in title to immovable property and from the invalidity or unenforceability of mortgage liens – to protect the financial interests of both land owners and lenders in the property.

Systematic and Complete Land Registration (PTSL) is a government program to implement single land mapping in Indonesia. The target of PTSL is only for uncertified land in a village or suburb. One of the areas implementing PTSL program is Batu City that had previously applied National Agrarian Operation Project (PRONA).  As a new registration system, PTSL is worthy to discuss and analyze whether or not systematic and complete land registration has already provided legal certainty for land owners. The method used in this research is juridical-empiric research method using juridical sociological approach. Legal data analysis used is by qualitative descriptive analysis method. According to the research result and analysis, it can be concluded that there are many hindering factors experienced by Agrarian Office of Batu City, PTSL participants and village officials in Batu City. Land registration through PTASL program is, however, still substantial in providing legal certainty for all participants. This is because land certificates that are issued from PTSL is signed by Adjudication Committee Chief. Keywords: first registration, single mapping, systematic ABSTRAKPendaftaran Tanah Sistematis Lengkap (PTSL) merupakan program pemerintah untuk mewujudkan peta tunggal di Indonesia. Sasaran PTSL yaitu bidang tanah yang belum memiliki sertifikat dalam satu kelurahan atau desa. Salah satu daerah yang mengikuti Program PTSL yaitu Kota Batu yang sebelumnya juga mengikuti Proyek Operasi Nasional Agraria (PRONA). Sebagai sistem pendfataran yang baru, PTSL menarik untuk dikaji dan dianalisis agar dapat diketahui faktor penghambat dan pendukung dalam pelaksanaan, perlu pula dikaji dan dianalisis apakah pendaftaran tanah sistematis lengkap telah memberikan kepastian hukum kepada pemilik tanah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu metode penelitian yuridis empiris dengan menggunakan metode pendekatan yuridis sosiologis. Analisis data hukum menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Berdasarkan hasil kajian dan analisis dapat disimpulkan bahwa banyak ditemukan faktor penghambat yang muncul dari pihak Kantor Pertanahan Kota Batu, Peserta PTSL, dan pihak Desa atau Kelurahan di Kota Batu. Pendaftaran tanah melalui Program PTSL tetap memberikan kepastian hukum kepada pesertanya. Sertifikat yang diterbitkan melalui PTSL ditandatangani oleh Ketua Panitia Ajudikasi.  Kata Kunci: Pendaftaran Pertama Kali, Peta Tunggal, Sistematis

After almost a century of several attempts to establish a coherent land registration system across the whole country, in 2017 the Portuguese government decided to try a new, digital native approach to the problem. Thus, a web-based platform was created, where property owners from 10 pilot municipalities could manually identify their lands’ properties using a map based on satellite images. After the first month of submissions, it became clear that at the current daily rate, it would take years to achieve the goal of 100% rural property identification across just the 10 municipalities. Field research during the first month after launch enabled us to understand landowners’ relationships with their land, map their struggles with the platform, and prototype ways to improve the whole service. Understanding that these improvements would still not be enough to get to the necessary daily rate, we designed, tested and validated an algorithm that allows us to identify a rural property shape and location without coordinates. Today, we are able to help both Government and landowners identify a rural property location with the click of a button.

City centers worldwide are perceived as essential parts of the city, where city memories are preserved and its identity is expressed. They are planned to satisfy the functional requirements and pleasurable qualities of the city. Under the accelerating urbanization of the modern city, several challenges face these centers including demographic, economic, and environmental challenges. This requires a continuous and incremental urban development process based on clear strategy and action plans. Thus, this study focuses on urban development strategies of city centers, with a focus on Rafah city located in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian Territories. The geographic location of this city near the Palestinian-Egyptian borders makes it a promising commercial city at local and regional levels. Thus, the current situation of Rafah city center has been analyzed, and several development strategies have been proposed. This has been done through a field survey based on observation and a questionnaire directed to city center users. It has been found that there is a great potential of Rafah city center to be developed as a commercial center. In this regard, several strategies and required actions have been proposed in the fields of transportation, environmental quality, shopping activities, investment opportunities, and visual perception.
