Bangladesh has a very high population density. Scarce land and the rapid increase of population of the country are creating high pressure over land-man ratio. Land ownership record system is insufficient and incomplete in Bangladesh. As a result, it spills out jumbled and spontaneous land development throughout the country, especially in the major cities. In this situation, it is important to establish a compatible land administration and management system for establishing a systematic approach for planned land development. Land Information System (LIS) is the most accountable and feasible systematic approach for developing an up-to-date land administration and management. LIS is related to various quantitative and qualitative aspects of land resource. Holding different cartographic information, LIS facilitates capturing, retrieval, and querying of information and provides tools to perform different analyses. Based on the secondary information by literature review, this paper is aimed at studying the existing land administration system, and recommending feasible interventions and strategy of LIS for creating an efficient land administration and management policy for Bangladesh. This paper also focuses on the challenges of LIS that are needed to be resolved for framing the existing land administration and management policy for planned and controlled growth of Bangladesh.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbip.v2i0.9572Journal of Bangladesh Institute of Planners Vol. 2, December 2009, pp. 116-125

Abstract. Access to reliable land information is a fundamental requirement for effective land administration, management, and planning and for the sustainable development of any nation. Many developing countries are faced with the absence of an adequate or coordinated land administrative system that are fit for purpose. The use of desktop geographic information system has been an effective tool for capturing, storing, analyzing, and making land information available. However, in most cases, land information is still largely inaccessible to the public where and when is needed at an instant. With the internet being an integral part of society, it is a powerful means for people to exchange and process information. The main objective of this work has been to develop a web-based LIS that facilitates users’ access and retrieval of land information. In view this, QGIS was used for data processing, PostgreSQL was used for the database design while QGIS Cloud was used to expose the data as geospatial web services. Web-GIS functionality was extended with the help of OpenLayers API. The system is composed of a single database, a web mapping application and an interactive website that provides for pan, zoom, and query in GIS functionality. Adopting the system will ensure an easy flow of land information and ensures there is well-structured process of collecting, storing, and disseminating land information. However, the adoption of LADM may be possible in the nearest future.

A method to find corresponding feature class pairs, including hierarchical M:N pairs between two geospatial datasets is proposed. Applying an overlapping analysis to the object sets within the feature classes, the similarities of the feature classes are estimated and projected onto a lower-dimensional vector space after applying the graph embedding method. In this space, conventional mathematical tools—agglomerative hierarchical clustering in this study—could be used to analyze semantic correspondences between the datasets and identify their hierarchical M:N corresponding pairs. The proposed method was applied to two cadastral parcel datasets; one for latest land-use records in an urban information system, and the other, for original land-use categories in the Korea land information system. To quantitatively assess identified feature pairs, F-measures for each pair are presented. The results showed that it was possible to find various semantic correspondences of the feature classes and infer regional land development characteristics.

This study focuses on the assessment of flood-vulnerable areas in the Minraleng watershed, Maros Regency, where the area experiences floods every year. Spatial analysis in the Geographic Information System (GIS) environment has been applied to estimate flood-vulnerable zones using six relevant physical factors, such as rainfall intensity, slope, Elevation, distance from the rivers, land use and soil type. The relative importance of physical factors has been compared in paired matrices to obtain weight values using the Spatial Multi-Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) method. The result showed that the areas located in Camba sub-district had the high vulnerability. The region with a high and very high vulnerability to flood were spread with an area of 436 ha (0,84 %) and 6.168 ha (11.8%).

<p>Violent conflicts related to pastoralists-farmers’ interactions in Nigeria have assumed an unprecedented dimension, causing loss of lives and livelihoods. The mid-Benue trough (Benue and Taraba States) has suffered most from the conflicts. This study aims to provide knowledge on the socio-ecological drivers of pastoralists-farmers’ conflicts in the mid-Benue trough from the year 2000 to 2020 and to identify pathways to solving them. First, data from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project were used to map the conflicts. Second, to understand the nexus of climate change, land use and the conflicts, the study analyzed satellite data of Land Surface Temperature (LST) as a proxy for climate change, using data from the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite and Land Use Land Cover (LULC), using LandSat 7 ETM and LandSat 8 ETM+ data, then linked them to the mapped conflicts. Third, to understand causes and impacts of the conflict on pastoralists and farmers’ livelihoods, 100 interviews were conducted, 50 for each group and analyzed using content analysis and descriptive statistics. Results showed that there were 2532 fatalities from 309 conflict events between pastoralists and farmers. The incidents exhibited statistically significant clustering and were minimal between the year 2000 and 2012, increasing gradually until the year 2013 when it began to rise geometrically. The Getis-Ord Gi hotspot analysis revealed the conflict hotspots to include Agatu, Oturkpo, Gwer East and Gashaka Local Government Areas. The results from the LST analysis showed that the area coverage of high LST increased from 30 percent in 2000 to 38 percent in 2020, while extremely high LST area also increased from 14 to 16 percent. A significantly high percentage of the conflicts (87 percent) occurred in areas with high LST (>30⁰C). In addition, the LULC analyses showed that built-up land area increased by 35 km<sup>2 </sup>(0.1 percent) and dense forests reduced by 798 km<sup>2</sup> (0.1 percent). Notably, shrublands and grasslands, which are the resource domains of the pastoralists reduced by 11,716 km<sup>2  </sup>(13.1 percent) and croplands of farmers increased by 12,316 km<sup>2 </sup>(13.8 percent)<strong>. </strong>This presents an apparent transition of LULC from shrublands and grasslands to croplands in the area. Further analyses showed that 63 percent of the conflicts occurred in croplands and 16 percent in shrublands and grasslands. Hence, the reduction of land resource available to pastoralists and their subsequent cropland encroachment were identified as major causes of the conflict. It was therefore concluded that land development for other purposes is a major driver of pastoralists-farmers’ conflicts in the study area. There is thus a need to integrate conflict maps, LST and LULC dynamics to support dialogue, land use planning and policy formulation for sustainable land management to guide pastoral and farming activities.</p>
